Jihad

“ With the help of God, we will stand Mujahedin and terrorists against Americans. This is so God will praise Muslims and his people. Our jihad against you will stay. It is not based on individuals or certain people. Our jihad against you will stay. It is not based on individuals or certain people. It doesn't stop with these people. It is the duty of every Msulim that comes from a religous background. The United States cannot stop the jihad no matter what you do. ”

“ You decided to join a lesser jihad, would you agree it was a lesser jihad?
Detainee (through translator) : It is not a lesser jihad, it is a jihad. However, the reward is not as important.
Presiding Officer: When I think of jihad, I think of a greater jihad which is an internal struggle, the struggle to control and to submit.
Detainee (through translator) : I do not understand.
Presiding Officer: The struggle that is inside me is more significant than whatever physical struggle I fight because I must submit; I must acknowledge that God is the Almighty. ”

“ Amen, amen, amen.The Jihad is a story which carries in its twists and turns the just cause of the Ummah, which seeks in overall terms to establish the religion on earth - the entire earth - and also seeks several immediate and differing results, including rescuing the Muslims and extracting them from the accumulated tyrant which has spread among them because of their own compatriots or the Jews and Crusaders who oppress them. ”

“ I remind you that our nation is occupied and violated. They corrupted our lives now and in the hereafter. All of this is a result of what we committed ourselves to by turning our backs to Jihad. Stand up, dear brother, don’t be afraid of their missiles and soldiers; they are cowards. If you ignore this matter, Allah will bring other nations different from us. Come on brothers, do what you can, even if throwing rocks. ”

“ There are some who try to limit the Jihad to the fighters on the battlegrounds, in an attempt to separate the Mujahideen from their Ummah. How do we respond to this argument and how can we make the Jihad the focal point of all sections of the Ummah? al-Libi This misconception is refuted by the facts on the ground and refuted by one glance at the Mujahideen and their conditions and what they offer and do in the battlefields of Jihad.Who are the Mujahideen? Who are these individuals who have arisen to defend their Ummah? ”

“ Those who forged the blade of this counterfeit jihad could not temper it in the flame of religious fervour, and it shattered against the shield of religious tolerance and good faith: we make mistakes, but can honestly claim those two virtues. ”

“ Soon after the Turks came into the war the mullah of the principal mosque at Damascus was told to announce jihad against the British from his pulpit on the following Friday in accordance with an order from the Grand Mufti at Stamboul. The poor man appears to have jibbed considerably and sent his family over the Nejd border to be out of reach of Turkish persecution. ”

“ This enemy movement seeks to create and exploit a division between the Muslim and non-Muslim world and within the Muslim world itself. The terrorists distort the idea of jihad into a call for violence and murder against those they regard as apostates or unbelievers, including all those who disagree with them. Most of the terrorist attacks since September 11 have occurred in Muslim countries—and most of the victims have been Muslims. ”

“ The Common Law and Jihad.
All the fighting injunctions in the Koran are, in the first place, only in self-defence, and none of them has any reference to make warfare offensively. In the second place, it is to be particularly noted that they were transitory in their nature, and are not to be considered positive injunctions for future observance or religious precepts for coming generations. [289] They were only temporary measures to meet the emergency of the aggressive circumstances. The Mohammadan Common Law is wrong on this point, where it allows unbelievers to be attacked without provocation. ”

“ Many Westerners are familiar only with the characterization in the popular press of jihad as warfare against Christians and Jews. Most Muslims would not apply jihad to Christians and Jews, believing them to be "people of the book" (see below) rather than infidels.
Osama bin Laden and Fundamentalists. Bin Laden has stated that Islam is at war with the United States and its allies. [2] Some observers maintain that the number of Muslims who believe as bin Laden does is growing, and others go further to suggest that all "fundamentalist" Muslims are enemies of the West. ”

“ Forcible conversion of Dayaks, Bataks and similar races by Mohammedan chiefs is universally approved of and accounted a fulfilment of the joint and several obligation of the Jihad or holy war, as in such cases it would be vain to await the command or authorization of the Lord of all Believers.
2°. The personal obligation resting on all fighting men, nay in some cases even on the non-combatant inhabitants of a Mohammedan country to defend their land to the utmost against the invasion of a non-Mohammedan enemy. ”

“ Can you
17 explain to the jury what jihad is?
18 A. Jihad, it's war for Muslim. It means fighting the enemy.
19 Q. And at the time that you were raising this money for
20 jihad, who was the enemy that was being fought?
21 A. At that time it's Soviet Union.
22 Q. And besides raising money, what other activities did you
23 do on behalf of Farouq Mosque in New York?
24 A. Recruit Muslim to join the group, to tell them about the
25 group and tell them come help the group. ”

“ All who are not of Islam are thus against it, and it is accordingly the duty of the True Believers to fight against the infidels till they accept Islam, or are destroyed. This is called the Djihad or Holy War, which can only end with the conversion or death of the last infidel on earth. ”

“ What to do ifone captures a Muslim soldier - kill him; (3) One is allowed to take the weapon from an enemy solder whom one killed; and (4) Americans were non-believers and it was justified to kill them. Khadr understood Sheikh Issa's teachings and their intended purposes to help al Qaeda members in their jihad against the Americans.
20. In 2002, Omar Khadr stated in an interview with U.S. officials, that a Jihad is occurring in Afghanistan and if non-believers enter a Muslim country then every Muslim in the world should fight the non-believers. ”

“ Therefore, it becomes clear to us that the solution lies in adhering to the religion of God, by which God granted us pride in the past centuries, and installing a strong and faithful leadership that applies the Koran among us and raises the true banner of jihad. ”

“ Thus in Islam, as in Western Christendom, the jihad is the bellum justum.' Id., 59.
The jihad in the Moslem's counterpart of the 'just' war as it has been known in the West. [3] Neither Clay nor Negre should be subject to punishment because he will not renounce the 'truth' of the teaching of his respective church that wars indeed may exist which are just wars in which a Moslem or Catholic has a respective duty to participate.
What Clay's testimony adds up to is that he believes only in war as sanctioned by the Koran, that is to say, a religious war against nonbelievers. ”

“ This being so, what are these infidel pigs doing in our mosque?"
There was a most unseemly scuffle; the Turco-German [82] contingent tried to seize the mullah; the Arab congregation defended him strenuously from arrest. In the confusion that worthy man got clear away and joined his family in Nejd. Jihad is incumbent on all Moslems if against infidel aggression. We stood on the defensive when the Turks first attacked us on the Canal, and when we finally overran Palestine and Syria it was in co-operation with the Arabs, who have more right there than the Turks. ”

“ You will only find honor with which to make progress and strength with which to protect yourselves in your true religion, which is based on disowning them and their servants and declaring open animosity to them. And their evil and corruption will only be stopped by fighting without leniency and performing non-stop jihad until there is no unbelief and all religion is for Allah. ”

“ Hajj and jihad under the leadership of those in charge of the Muslims, whether they are right or wrong-acting, are continuing obligations until the Last Hour comes. Nothing can annul or controvert them. ”

“ Was there anything different
18 about the Egyptian Jihad group within al Qaeda as compared to
19 the rest of the group?
20 A. Yes.
21 Q. What was that?
22 A. Because jihad group, the first people start the al Qaeda,
23 and also most of our training, our people trained the military
24 stuff from jihad group members. ”

“ The detainee finished the 11th grade and decided on his own, around August of 2001, to go to Afghanistan to fight in the jihad. He heard sheiks say that it was a duty for good Muslim men to fight the jihad alongside the Taliban.
2. A man identified by the detainee as Ahmed Al Salami told him that he should go to Karachi, Pakistan and meet up with Saria Al Makki to get to Afghanistan. Al Salami traveled to mosques and said that it was the duty of good Muslim men to help establish an Islamic army. The enemy of this Islamic army was the Norther Alliance. ”

“ Extremist ideas distort and contravene Islamic theology, and the extremists bewitch Muslims, especially teenagers, with such heretical ideas as "the shahid (martyr) engaged in jihad (holy war) can live in the garden of Paradise," thus turning some individuals into extremists and terrorists whose thoughts are controlled and who are manipulated to frequently perform acts of violence and terrorism and kill innocent people of all ethnic groups, even their fellow Islamic clerics and Muslims. ”

“ That lying, political appeal to jihad has made thinking Moslems mistrust the infallibility of [92] organised pan-Islam, of which the culminating expression is Holy War, one of the most sacred Mussulman duties if justly invoked. We Christians do not make such mistakes. When Italy was fighting the Turks in Tripoli the Pope himself warned Christian soldiers against regarding the campaign as a Crusade, and when we took Jerusalem we took it side by side with our Mussulman allies and forthwith placed an orthodox Moslem guard on Omar's mosque. ”

“ I did my job as a Coordinator out of Pakistan for the camp. Our doctrine was not to train against those who did not invade Muslim lands. Our doctrine was not the same as what USAMA BIN LADEN and al Qaida were promoting, which was and is a doctrine of offensive jihad. Our doctrine has always been to go after enemy targets, and by that I mean military targets, which include military members or civilians who work for or directly support the military. I disagreed with the al Qaida philosophy of targeting innocent civilians like those in the World Trade Center. ”

“ Most recently, al-Qaeda’s al-Sahab media organization has demonstrated an ability to present, and help others to present, a reliable source of near real-time news coverage from the jihad fronts for Muslims. From both Iraq and Afghanistan—where heretofore the Taliban took almost no interest in media operations—there now flow almost daily, high-quality videos of mujahideen military activity against the forces of the U.S.-led coalitions, interviews with important insurgent commanders and tapes of the retribution exacted from those Muslims who cooperate with the “occupiers.” ”

“ The jihad he preached would have tempted dead men from their graves to come and share the plunder, and the curses he called down on cowards and laggards and unbelievers were enough to have frightened the dead away again. ”

“ It is true that the success of Islam has been very largely facilitated in many parts of Africa by the worldly successes of Muhammadan adventurers, and the erection of Muhammadan states on the ruins of pagan kingdoms, and fire and bloodshed have often marked the course of a Jihād, projected for the extermination of the infidel. ”

“ When we give training order, brothers in our camp. We not put specific opinion this is the method to affect the enemies first. So any person want to go or to join jihad in Russia, Chechnya, or another place that Kashmir or Philippine, also, we not one specific enemy. And BIN LADEN come. He say enemy is America. We should how to— second thing in our camp. We different all method after we tell him but this allowed in Islam, this not allowed in Islam; same killing the civilians, killing the old mens or womens ”

“ And as to those who fight in defence of God's true religion, God will not suffer their works to perish: he will guide them, and will dispose their heart aright; and he will lead them into paradise, of which he hath told them. O true believers, if ye assist God, by fighting for his religion, he will assist you against your enemies; and will set your feet fast. * * *'
War is not the exclusive type of jihad; there is action by the believer's heart, by his tongue, by his hands, as well as by the sword. War and Peace in the Law of Islam 56. ”

“ I have been ordered to Jihad (hard work or fight against the devil) against people until they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah and until they perform the prayers and pay Jakat (Purification of the wealth by giving the poor people their rightful share) , and if they do so they will have gained protection from me for their lives and property, unless [they do acts that are punishable] in accordance with Islam, and their reckoning will be with Allah the Almighty. ”
