Al-Qaeda: Kill the Christians
Front Page Magazine ^ | 18 November 2006 | Patrick Poole

Posted on 11/17/2006 4:36:14 AM PST by unionblue83

An al-Qaeda manual made a surprise reappearance on October 31st in a new repackaged, reformatted edition on an online jihadi forum associated with the terrorist organization. The manual, A Guide for the Undecided on the Legitimacy of Killing Christians, (Irshad al-Hayara fi Ibahat Dimaa al-Nasara) made its first appearance back in September 2002, published by the al-Qaeda “think tank,” the now defunct Center for Islamic Research and Study, in their bi-weekly magazine, Sawt al-Jihad (The Voice of Jihad). Translated excerpts from the 56-page manual, authored by Hafid Abu-Basir, are available from the Site Institute.

But republication of this manual in a new format has counter-terrorism officials concerned that it’s re-release might be a sign of forthcoming terror attacks directed at Americans. In Chapter 15 of the document, Abu-Basir offers encouragement to dispirited Muslims that fresh attacks against the American infidels are forthcoming:

Beloved ones, I bring you the great, joyful news, which is the coming attack in America, with the permission of Allah, in a new wonderful method. America will be shocked once more, and this time Bush of the infidels will cry again.

The Guide for the Undecided is an extensive theological warrant deeply rooted in Quranic and Hadith sources for the killing of Americans based on what the author alleges are historical wrongs committed by America against Muslims worldwide. An entire section of the work, “Al-Umariyah Conditions,” (Chapter 9) is dedicated to explaining that the only proper role for Christians and Jews are as subjected and submissive dhimmis – legal non-persons. It also provides justification for attacks directed at Muslim allies and Islamic governments working with the U.S. government and thoroughly rejects any coexistence with America.

......."When war has been declared upon you, you are under no obligation to wait until the enemy has fired his first shot.".....

I agree completely. I don't understand why we aren't feedin the crows muzzie meat every day. They have Imam's saying "Jihad" every Friday. They should be dead by Saturday morning. I hope Israel doesn't wait for a mushroom cloud before they unleash their arsenal.

Just try to imagine in WWII that we knew where Himler or some other muckity muck was and we didn't bomb the place. We know where they are, we know who they are, and we wait for them to break some jaywalking law to arrest them. We have them on film saying "Kill, Kill, Kill!" We are at WAR! we don't need no stinking broken law to take the bastids out! If we can't find Osama, then get the underlings.

Arm up.

I think I see the New Holocaust on the horizon. I sure hope it can be averted.

No more muslims in Congress, OK?

I doubt it. Some people just refuse to accept the obvious even when it's provided by moslems themselves.
I keep praying that even amid the affirmations about how peaceful they are from our POTUS, elected officials and the military that they among themselves acknowledge the reality and are preparing.

My elderly mother, who lives in Raleigh, went into an oriental rug store the other day to inquire about getting a large antique rug cleaned. She spoke to the owner telling him that she needed advice as she was uncertain about what to do as she knew nothing about rugs. Later when we met for lunch she was terribly upset. He had gone off on her about the War and said Americans were uncertain about all kinds of things. I was stunned. I have thought about calling him and giving him a piece of my mind.

You know, Adolf Hitler wrote in "Mein Kampf" exactly what his plans were, and once he took power in Germany, people still didn't believe that he would do what he said he would...

Amalangadingdong in Iran has been doing the same sort of thing for some time...

It seems to me that politicians and "statesmen" believe that words are tokens in some sort of a game... That they don't really have any connection to actions... I think that's one of the things that has them so confused and angry with President Bush... Because you're supposed to say things, not actually do things!

The "Bush of the infidels will cry" quote makes me think "schools" for some sick reason.

They certainly have a long history of murdering children, since a) they're easier targets, b) they can't defend themselves, and c) dead children tend to dishearten people who are already inclined to surrender.

From Israel, in the 1970s, to Beslan, to using their own children as shields, muslims LOVE to kill children.

Beloved ones, I bring you the great, joyful news, which is the coming attack in America, with the permission of Allah, in a new wonderful method.

Everytime I read this it brings to mind Luke 2:10 when the angel says "Behold, I bring you glad tidings of great joy which shall be for all the people..."

It's just striking to me, the difference in the great, joyful news.

Here's a short essay I wrote last January that is part of my FR homepage:


Okay, I'm going to try to summarize in general how it is that Western Civilization is the Dajjal, for those imams who read Dajjal as a metaphor, and not a literal individual person. This is cobbled together from a number of sources I've read. (And I don't know Arabic, Persian, or Urdu, so my sources are from the tiny fraction of Dajjal literature in English.)

a) The word "Dajjal" literally translates as "Deceiver."

b) From the Muslim, Qur'anic point of view, Jesus was a prophet of Allah, who taught that Allah is the One Undifferentiated God. Anyone who says that God is a Trinity of Three Persons, and that Jesus is one of those Divine Persons, is deceiving. If he says it because he believes it, he is both deceived and deceiving.

Hence, Christianity is itself an AntiChrist, because it is teaching the "opposite" of what Christ taught.

The evangelists and especially St. Paul "did not understand" who Jesus was and what he taught. And the texts of the Bible "have been corrupted" by deceivers over the centuries to support the dogma of the Trinity. Some imams might say the early Church was good and Islamic, but that corruption set in with Constantine and the Council of Nicaea. Regardless, to get the "truly infallible" account of Jesus, one must read the Qur'an.

But that’s not all.

c) The Dajjal of the hadith is not merely a deceiver - he is the greatest menace ever to scourge the earth from Adam to the Last Trumpets.

d) At the time Muhammed was alive, the Christians were not the Dajjal. They might have been deceived and deceitful, but back then they generally kept to themselves in Europe and thereabouts. For those imams, this “explains” why in Muhammed’s hadith, he talks about the Dajjal as an evil yet to come.

e) The Christians didn’t start "menacing the whole planet" until the explorers of the 15th and 16th centuries.

f) So now we get into the history of colonization of the world by the European Christian powers, the exploitation of nonwhite races throughout the world, slavery, the pillaging of the world’s land and natural resources by the conquering European nations, etc., etc., etc.

g) Meanwhile, with the Age of Enlightenment, European (and American) people are becoming more secular, agnostic, and atheistic (more levels of deceitfulness). With the progress of science and technology, they care more about external material things than about internal spiritual pursuits. With the rise of industrial capitalism, people and the environment are exploited on every level, and the West truly becomes a menace to the entire globe.

h) And let’s not forget the spread of Western Culture throughout the world. On the one hand you have musical instruments, immodestly dressed women, novels and films spreading sinful morality, etc.

On the other hand you have Christian missionaries converting people around the world, slandering Muhammed and the Qur’an, and working hand-in-hand with the governments and banks back in Europe and America.

i) I’ve been focusing on the Christianity of the West, but my Jewish friends should not feel left out. That’s where the “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” comes in. The Trinitarian Christians may be the figurehead Deceivers menacing the globe, but behind the scenes they themselves are being led around by a secret council of Jewish planners and financiers pulling the strings.

j) Q.E.D. The Dajjal is a metaphor for the West.

k) Now in the hadith Muhammed prophesies that the Mahdi will arise who will be the greatest Muslim since Muhammed. 'Isha (the Qur’an’s version of Jesus) will descend on a cloud and fight under the Mahdi in jihad. Together they will kill the Dajjal and spread Islam and shar’ia law throughout the planet.

l) Okay, now we’re going to get into some tricky interpretation here. Is the Mahdi an individual person, or a metaphor for a social movement of Muslims to oppose Western Civilization and everything for which it stands? If he’s an individual, will the Mahdi be the actual person to duel with the Dajjal, or might he be an individual who gets the ball rolling whereby the Dajjal’s inevitable demise is set in motion (*cough*BinLaden*cough*).

If the Dajjal is a metaphor, why shouldn’t the Mahdi be a metaphor?

But if a literal person, there are lots and lots of candidates in the past and present, and I’m sure there will be more in the future. An imam can pick his favorite one.

m) Now, what does “killing the Dajjal” mean? For some terrorist imams, that means chopping off the heads of every Westerner.

For the nicer, pacifist, we-are-in-the-end-times imams, that means the Mahdi will (“like Muhammed”) be a preacher and he will lead a "spiritual jihad" of converting the West to Islam. The hadith says that “the sun will rise in the west,” so this is interpreted to mean that the light of Islam will spread throughout the West.

n) After killing the Dajjal (whichever way), the Mahdi will govern the planet in perfect peace, justice and prosperity. Then the trumpets will sound, time will end, and the Day of Judgment will arrive. Allah will judge all souls (well, except for the prophets and martyrs since they are already in Paradise) and they will go to Paradise or Hell for all eternity.

o) I’ve dealt with the Dajjal as a metaphor for Western Civilization. For a more literal treatment of the Dajjal as a coming future individual person who will use the Western nations, the UN, the IMF, etc. as his power base, revise the scenario accordingly.

BTW, when thought of as an individual, many imams say he will be Jewish, although no hadith says this.


__________
I myself am an amillennialist. I do not believe we are living in the End Times, whether by this prophecy or that prophecy. I don’t particularly mind if someone does choose to believe in millennialism, unless that person starts using that as an excuse to attack my countrymen. At which point I take it as my duty to alert my fellow countrymen and our allies as to how millennial beliefs are a factor in the attacks.

That's what I think. It's not that at the top they target any specific 'non-significant' target. It's that they are trying to encourage, at the local level, followers to take up their swords. See -- the Muslim guy in Seattle who killed that woman at the Jewish center; the Muslim guy in San Fran who drove through the Jewish neighborhood randomly hitting people. All for Allah.

That's what got me, "which is the coming attack 'in' America," note he did not say 'on' America. This makes me want to believe that the attack will be made internally by operatives already hear.

Whether it is a WMD attack on a large population centers, on national landmarks such as D.C., an irreplacable national resource, or, God forbid, on multiple schools across the country; whatever the attack, the purpose will be to create a reaction by the US that will, in the perpetrator's eyes, lead us into an intolerable situation. This would be either no response, as we would not know where to hit, or striking out blindly and killing innocents as well as guilty.

They want to force us into playing their game. Which we must not do. We must play our game.

With such a calculating enemy there is only ever one response. Total annihilation. It may take decades. This is what they are counting on; that the West, and the US in particular, has lost the stomach for such an enterprise.

I somehow feel that they underestimate the intestinal fortitude of the American people.

I think it most likely that such a horrendous act would shift a very large percentage of the population to the point of view that something must be done, done now, and to a degree of finality that would forever erradicate any threat of resurgence.

If that sounds like the "final solution" and anyone takes offense then I apologise; but it is exactly how I feel.
