JANUARY 1? , 2003 : (MASJID AT-TAWHID MOSQUE, LONDON, UK : IMAM ANWAR NASSER AULAQI AKA AULAKI , FORMER HEAD CLERIC OF THE DAR AL-HIJRAH ISLAMIC CENTER IN FALLS CHURCH, VIRGINIA, GIVES A SERMON EXHORTING FOLLOWERS TO BECOME MARTYRS- THE ONLY SURE WAY TO GET TO PARADISE - See VA JIHAD/PAINTBALLCELL, JIMAS , A UK TERROR CHARITY, HAMAS) [Anwar] Aulaqi in January exhorted the faithful at the Masjid at-Tawhid mosque in London to become ''shaheeds,'' or martyrs, and ''die in the sake of Allah,'' arguing it's the one sure way to get into Paradise, according to a transcript of a tape recording of the sermon provided to WorldNetDaily by terrorism expert Steve Emerson. Emerson believes Aulaqi, as a close spiritual adviser to the [9/11] hijackers, may have helped them prepare for martyrdom before they crashed American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon two years ago. ...Aulaqi's London sermon was part of a two-day seminar organized by an Islamic charity in Britain called JIMAS. It ran from Dec. 31 to Jan. 1. ......
''Don't think that the ones that die in the sake of Allah are dead. They are alive and Allah is providing for them,'' Aulaqi said, referring to Muslim martyrs. ''So the shaheed does not die.'' When it comes to salvation, ''you could say that they are head and shoulders above everyone else,'' he said, noting the carnal and material rewards bestowed upon marytrs in Paradise. He also claimed marytrs ''will not suffer the pain of death, and will not have to go through the horror and terror of the day of judgment.'' ''So this should make everyone of you the more eager to be a shaheed,'' Aulaqi concluded, ''when you see the great edge that is given to the shaheeds.'' -------- "D.C. mosque tied to 9-11 extols martyrdom virtues ;" by Paul Sperry, WorldNetDaily.com, Thursday, September 11, 2003...

[Johari] Malik – who remains close to [Anwar] Aulaqi, now living in Yemen, his place of birth – says there's nothing wrong with such sermons [as the one given by Anwar Aulaki in London]. ''That's the same thing as telling Marines in this country semper fidelis,'' Malik told WorldNetDaily. ''Telling people to give their all for their faith is not an unusual idea.'' -------- "D.C. mosque tied to 9-11 extols martyrdom virtues ;" by Paul Sperry, WorldNetDaily.com, Thursday, September 11, 2003

2004 : (VA : DAR AL HIJRAH MOSQUE) Back to [Dar al-Hijrah] mosque leader Esam Omeish, the "American patriot." Court records I've obtained show he put his home up for bond collateral in 2004 to help spring from jail a terrorist suspect who was caught allegedly casing the Chesapeake bridge for attack. His dubious pal Ismail Elbarasse is a founding member of Dar al-Hijrah. .
Omeish's house is just down the road from the mosque in Falls Church, Va., and just a few blocks in the other direction from the Islamist business park in Alexandria. One of Omeish's neighbors on his cul-de-sac is the former bookkeeper for terror banker Soliman Biheiri. He started an Islamic investment bank that included Hamas leader Marzook and Abdullah bin Laden as major investors. Biheiri, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, was recently convicted of lying about his connections to Marzook in an investigation into his terrorist ties.
