What does Al-Qaeda write about itself - part1

Al-Qaida interprets the Islamic religion in a way that fits its needs, like many other radical sects, who are not as known as Al-Qaida, because they don’t have the financial resources that Al-Qaida has.

 

On the one hand Al-Qaida leaders call other people, who don’t belief in what they believe, infidels and allow their followers to kill them. But on the other hand they allow themselves to fight side by side even with fornicators. Yes with fornicators. You can find this on their web site. And by the way, fornicators are the worst people in the Arabic and Islamic culture.

 

Below you can find the translation of two parts concerning the topic “This is our belief” from the Arabic website of the Al-Qaeda-Group that fights in Iraq (Al Jihad Wal Tawhid).

I think to understand the mindset of this group, it is important to read what it writes about itself.

 

My translation is word by word. I didn’t add any comments to the texts and didn’t cut any part of it. I think the reader has the right to build his own opinion about this group. My comments can be found in the footnotes. That means every word in the text belongs to that what Al-Qaeda writes about itself.

 

The question why you didn’t hear yet about that is very simple to answer. Al-Qaida has an unimaginable great influence on the Media even in the western countries. Not only through Al-Jazeera and the videos of Zawahiry and Bin-Laden, although they are important. Their large influence on the Media is through the countless Arabic nationalists who work in the Media and sympathize with it. They give Al-Qaida this most important support.

 

The holy Quran is a very large book. You can find countless books and articles about its interpretation. You can find further more books about the Sunna and Hadith(1) as well.


The scholars are not in agreement about the number and the genuineness of the Hadiths or who is to believe from the persons, who said that they had heard the Prophet (peace and prayer upon him) talks. You can always find some one to cite if you want to represent a specific idea using the Islam to cover your opinion. This is common for all the suspect sects such as the followers of Al-Qaida.

 

They proclaim some quotations to be true or somebody said this or that, without giving any references. They just rely on the lack of education and the hostility to the U.S. policy and Israel in the Arabic world.

The supported sect(2)

We believe in what the Prophet (prayer and peace upon him) told about the supported group, as he said(3) : “There still be a sect of my community combats manifest for the just until the Day of the Judgment.” He said “And Jesus , son of Maria (peace upon him) descends and their lord says(4) : come and pray for us and he says(5) : No, some of you are rulers upon the other, Gods Largesse for this community”(6) . [told by a Muslim according to Jabir raised ].(7)

 

And he said (8): “There still be a sect of my community fight ordered by God (cherished and sublimed), beaten their enemy. They don’t care about those who are differ(9) with them and they continue until the Day of Judgment comes”.

 

And according to Salma Bin Nufail Al Kindy (may God be satisfied with him), he said:(10) “As I was sitting by the Prophet of God (Gods prayer and greeting upon him) a man said : oh Prophet the people bound their horses and laid down their weapons . And they said : there is no Jihad more. The war is over. And the Prophet of God (prayer and peace upon him) came and said: They lied. Now comes the role of the war, and there still be some of my community fight for the just. And God turns away the hearts of some people and endows them from these until the Day of Judgment rise ; and until the promise of God comes and the horses forelocks bind with goodness until the Day of Judgment”.


And I inspired(11) that I was clenched but not hesitated and you follow me, denying each other(12) , hitting each others necks. And the center of the home of the believers is Damascus(13) . [A true quotation(14) told by Ahmed and the Nisai ].

 

It is a sect that represents the supporters of this religion in every age. And it is a struggling fighting sect endeavor to support the religion of God in every way.
We ask God to make us one of them and let us die as martyrs for His cause.
