Its widely reported and recognized in their circles that these “new suggestions” Sayyid Imam al-Sharif were and his collective recent writings, including the book referred to in the article above (”Rationalizations on Jihad...”) were all produced from his jail cell under duress!
While its true, he has ideological differences with the likes of Zawahiri, its because he supports the muslim brotherhood model for overthrow over kuffarocracy with sharia.

I was wondering when I read that article - if all the kill the kuffar - fight for allah- destroy the infidels - were to be removed from their terror manual (the holy koran, straight from the mouth of allah via the schizoid halucinations of the 'prophet) what would islam have left?
A little ancient arab lore and a whole lot of plagiarized Old Testament, much of it in error as mohammad learned what he heard from the hebrews orally, and mis-remembered it.
the koran is nothing but evidence that no matter how many silk purses you give an arab, he'll always end up making a sow's ear out of it.
