Radical Islamic Group Praises 9/11 as being a "Magnificent Day."
A radical British based Islamic group is using its Yahoo! Groups message board to praise the terrorist attacks of 9/11.
Calling it a "magnificent day," the writer comments that people worldwide saw a first hand demonstration of the "signs of Allah" on 9/11.
He says, "Many of the ayat of the Qur'an were demonstrated in our life in a very spectacular way, crystal clear for all to see. In fact, since that towering day in history we see an acceleration in the already large number of people becoming Muslim day after day - one of many of the benefits and positive outcomes from 9/11, Verily it is evident that Allah ... guides who we wish, despite the extreme measures of propaganda and misinformation from the kuffar to fight against the spread of Islam."
The writer gives what he claims are the "Almighty Signs of Allah" on 9/11. He says, for example, there were a small number of people defeating a larger number.
"This was a very small number with no heavy weaponry, no jets, no tanks, no cannons, no bombers, only 19 men with knives, and they defeated them heavily. For all their boasts of civilization and high technology, they had no defense against them. People claim that it is not a victory because 'innocent' civilians were killed, yet the US army have killed many civilians, and furthermore, Allah ... is the one who decides who is innocent or not, and Allah ... says that the Muslims are innocent, not the kuffar. Further victory, is that from this one incident, America reviewed its entire plans and policies."
The writer says the events of 9/11 were precipitated by more than U.S. foreign policy. He asks, "What if the motive was ... because (the terrorists) were devoted Muslims that believed that those kuffar (non Moslems) should be killed? What if the reason was that Muslims are in captivity in America? There are many Muslims including Sheikh Omar Abdul Rahman who are imprisoned in USA. It is well known that to release Muslims from the captivity of the kuffar is one of the reasons that will necessitate (oblige) offensive Jihad."
The writer continues. "In the past, entire tribes and cities and nations were conquered because of one Muslim captive, in the time of Muhammad, Banu Qaynuqa was expelled because they simply insulted one Muslim woman."
The article writer further comments that Muslims do not kill; it is Allah. "The US had calculated for planes crashing into the World Trade Centre and built it not to be affected, and yet it was completely destroyed, furthermore the building should not have fallen in the neat way that it did, and there should not have been other buildings falling with them without to get hit - as did occur on 9/11. It was none but Allah ... that brought down the World Trade Center.Allah ordered us to do the effort, and the result comes from Allah, It does not come from us nor from our own actions."
Bragging about some of the other effects of 9/11 the writer comments "Another victory ... is that the American deficit rocketed down, the USA faced many other calamities from 9/11, Furthermore, many people became Muslim because of 9/11 – at least four times more than before 9/11. That is a victory for Islam and Muslims."
The writer says that Allah gives victory by "striking fear in the heart of the enemy." He comments "The kuffar were so terrified, they would never come down to fight them on the land, they continued to bomb the mountains of Afghanistan until a third of the US ammunition was used up in Afghanistan, and they spent over $68,000,000,000 in Afghanistan, they are so terrified only because of one oath made by an old man - Sheikh Usama bin Laden, in a mountain in Afghanistan. Despite their arrogance and their boasts and all their weaponry and technology, they were brought to their knees in terror by 20 Muslims: an old man and 19 young men."
The article writer concludes by saying that no one can be harmed unless it is "decreed by Allah." He writes "Allah ... says in the hadith Qudsi: ‘If all the people gathered together to harm you, they will never harm you except what Allah ... has decreed, and if all the people gathered together to benefit you, they will never benefit you except for what Allah ... has decreed.'"
Omar Bakri Mohammed, the radical Islamic figure who heads Al-Muhajiroun, the organization behind this pronouncement, has been linked to British suicide bombers in Israel and has also issued calls to overthrow the British government
Muhammad was born in Aleppo, Syria, in 1958 and grew up in a wealthy www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=25307 Muslim family, becoming a serious student of Islam and the Koran. He received his B.A. in Shari'ah and the foundations of Islamic law from Shari'ah University in Damascus, obtaining a master's degree in Islamic jurisprudence from the University of Al-Imam Al-U'zaie in Beirut.
According to the Middle East Media Research Institute
http://memri.org/bin/articles.cgi?Page=archives&Area=ia&ID=IA7301, Muhammad portrays himself as being the spokesman for bin Laden's International Islamic Front for Jihad against Jews and Crusaders and according to MEMRI has admitted that the organization raises funds for the Hamas, the Islamic Jihad, and is "in touch" with the Hizbullah.
According to MEMRI, Muhammad has lived in London since 1985 and preaches at a number of London mosques. He also routinely presents himself as a spokesman for the International Islamic Front, which he describes as being the political wing of Osama bin Laden's Islamic Front for Jihad against Jews and Crusaders.
