Al-Qa'ida Website, Back On-Line Publishes Book About its War on the U.S. and Bombing in Saudi Arabia
Al-Qa'ida's website, which was originally called Al-Nida and then changed its name and URL every few days to avoid being hacked, had disappeared from the Internet following the killing of its site director, Sheikh Yousef Al-Ayyeri, in early June 2003 in Saudi Arabia. The website has now been reactivated, at http://www.faroq.org/news/. Among the postings on the site is a book called "The Raid of the 11th of Rabi' Al-Awwal - The Eastern Riyadh Operation and Our War on America and Its Agents."
The book's foreword states, among other things, that the "raid of the 11th of Rabi' Al-Awwal 1424 [the May 12, 2003 suicide attack on Western residential housing complexes in Riyadh]... was but the opening shot, Allah willing, and the Mujahiddeen had a need for this detailed communiqué to present the reasons for the Jihad activity in the Arabian Peninsula and to remove some of the religious and military problems regarding it." The following are excerpts from each of the book's four chapters:(1)
Chapter I: The Reality of the Islamic World
"...The Muslim countries are today subject to overt or covert colonialism. The last century was the century of direct colonialism in the Muslim countries... By the end of the colonialist era, the colonialist states were no longer capable of withstanding the painful blows they were taking from the hands of the Mujahiddeen... At this point, Zionism intervened, [suggesting] that they would protect the colonialists' interests and rescue them from the complicated situation in which they found themselves. It concealed colonialism in the most naive way... It did not change the schemes of colonialism, rather the figures leading it: Why should we not comply with the desire of the resistance and replace those with blue eyes and blond hair with our own people, who speak our language, and wear sheepskins over a wolf's heart? Why should we not replace the name John or Napoleon with the name Muhammad, Anwar, or Abd Al-Aziz?...
"A 'Karzai' regime exists officially in all the Muslim countries. All rulers are crowned in the Karzai way... The legitimacy of any of these Karzais is no different than that of his brothers... The rulers of the land of the two holy places [Saudi Arabia] are no different than the others...
"The real ruler is Crusader America; the subjugation of these rulers [to America] is no different than the subjugation of district rulers to the king or president of their country... Anyone who fights them is in effect fighting the one who has given them authority and made them rulers over the Muslims...
"The breasts of the Jews - Allah's curses upon them - are filled with an arrogance that is not present in others, and therefore they have not settled for the kind of covert colonialism that satisfies the Crusader countries. Likewise, their occupation of Muslim Palestine stems from the belief that they cannot give it up, or else they would be apostates from their Judaism, exactly like the Arab rulers were apostates from Islam to which they belonged...
"The issue of Palestine is [actually] the issue of the Islamic world... but the Zionist media and the collaborating media neutralized the non-Arab Muslims by calling it 'the Arab issue.' Repeating [this term] has a powerful effect on the distortion of consciousness and eradication of the facts, and thus every non-Arab Muslim has been excluded of those interested in the Palestine issue...
"The establishment of the Palestinian state wrested the issue even from [the hands of] the countries of confrontation, and made it an issue of the Palestinian state and its treacherous government, headed by the vilest of agents ever in history - Yasser Arafat, who will get what he deserves from Allah...
"The situation of the armies in the collaborating countries proves clearly that resistance to aggression, primarily to the American [aggression], by these feeble armies is nearly impossible...
"The sensitivity of [the land of the two holy places, namely Saudi Arabia] requires it to have a powerful army - let alone that this is what all the Muslims are ordered to carry out, as Allah said: 'Make ready for them all armed strength and of mounted pickets that you can, whereby you may scare the enemy of Allah and your enemy'...
"Regarding the army of the government of the land of the two holy places, after consecutive years of profligate squandering of money that, they claimed, was going for arming it, when the country felt endangered by Saddam the rulers simply announced that the army was incapable of defending the country and brought in, in an act that was a precedent of its kind, the American Crusader armies in fortified bases, on the pretext of defending the country...
"While we see that the Israeli army includes over one million soldiers in a midget country whose inhabitants number six million, while its reserve army includes all men capable of bearing arms - the army in the land of the two holy places is the smallest and weakest [in the region] with regard to armaments and equipment and with regard to training and willingness to defend the religion and the honor..."
Chapter II: What is the Solution?
"...We have presented some of the American crimes against the Muslims. Even if the religion [of Islam] were not stirring the Muslims to fight America, their [i.e. the Americans'] crimes would be enough to arouse in them [i.e. Muslims] the courage and gallantry to retaliate... [For] the Muslim countries in this situation - Jihad is what they need more than anything else, except food and water. Jihad is... a commandment that applies personally to every Muslim.
"Even if people disagree today regarding which of these two groups - the apostate traitor agents [i.e. the Arab governments] or the colonialist enemies [i.e. the Americans] - is more worthy to wage Jihad against, there need be no disagreement that Jihad is the solution for dealing with both of them...
"Although the Al-Qa'ida organization fights to defend the [Islamic] nation, it does not fight on the nation's behalf; therefore, anyone who cannot join Al-Qa'ida is not exempt from the obligation of Jihad [until] he has done everything possible to search for Jihad and did not succeed in joining any of its fronts, and after he has invested his best efforts, as he would in search for a medical specialist for a dread disease for someone dear to him..."
Chapter III: Why Riyadh?
"Many of those who esteem Jihad and the Mujahiddeen were amazed at and even condemned the Riyadh bombing, although they support bombings against America and American interests in other countries. Therefore, we would like to answer the question that [was] on the lips of many: Why Riyadh?
"Anyone who asks this question must recall the religious texts that command fighting all polytheists. Allah said: ... 'When the four months in which fighting is forbidden have passed, fight the polytheists everywhere you find them...' We found the Americans in Riyadh, and killed them in Riyadh.
"Similarly, it must also be noted that in its war with America, the Al-Qa'ida organization adopted the strategy of expanding the battle arena... This strategy has priceless advantages; the enemy who had only his country to defend realized that he now must defend his enormous interests in every country...
"While this strategy might cause some damages to Muslims in the process of defending the nation, this happens all the time, and in every Jihad. The Afghans suffered long years of war because they stood up to the Communist invasion that sought to conquer, among other things, the land of the two holy places, and that even managed to set foot in the southern Arabian Peninsula by means of the Communist country in Southern Yemen that is now extinct.
"Even the collaborating countries operate according to this rule... The government of the land of the two holy places charges [its] public for the expenses of its attack on the Mujahiddeen in the so-called war on terror... on the pretext that there is no other way to implement the interest of the people. It is better that some damage be caused to the people in the interests of religion than in the interests of establishing the thrones of the despots and agents..."
Chapter IV: The Eastern Riyadh Operation
"On the 11th of Rabi' Al-Awwal, 1424, a group of the youths of Islam set out and attacked Crusader complexes in eastern Riyadh, in one of the highest quality operations that even a few American officials were forced to admit was a well-planned commando operation... This operation reminded the Americans that they cannot dream of security before the Muslims in Palestine experience it, and before all Crusader countries leave the peninsula of the Prophet Muhammad...
"In the past, it was agreed between the collaborating government in the land of the two holy places and America that these complexes would be part of the U.S. The Americans have religious freedom in them; nothing is forbidden to them. There are churches there, bars, dance clubs, mixed swimming pools, and all sorts of heresy. They are not subject to [Islamic] religious law; furthermore, they are not subject to the sovereignty of the [Saudi] government itself. The police and security forces do not enter there, and neither does the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice [i.e. the Saudi religious police]...
"The number [of those carrying out the bombing] reported by the press is inaccurate. Some of them who were not predestined for martyrdom continue to cause losses to the enemies of Allah, the Americans, in Iraq, and carried out acts of heroism there...
"The Americans and the agent governments that support them, like the Karzai government in Afghanistan, the [Pervez] Musharraf government in Pakistan, the Fahd government in the land of the two holy places, and the Ali Abdallah Saleh government in Yemen, are permissible targets for Mujahiddeen, according to [Islamic] religious law... They [i.e. the Arab governments] and the Americans are identical, both in their war on [Islam] and in the extent to which they are a target for the Mujahiddeen..."

Jewish breasts, eh?
It's back to sex again. Oye Vey.
Zaftig girls caused the jihad?
Well, see there? There's some area of agreement.
So you guys have this problem too?!
By the way, have you seen the latest clips FNC has been showing of Yasser and his cabinet? I think Arafat's brain (or what passed for a brain) has gone south. It looks like no one's home behind those eyes. Maybe that's why he's now expendable to AQ crowd?
We should have a pool on how long it'll stay active..... With the "geeks" (used affectionately) on our side sending viruses everywhere and back, my guess is it won't be up too long.
