The Story Of The Bull
Notes from a Khutbah by Imam Anwar al-Awlaki

Praise be to Allaah, we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allaah from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever Allaah guides will never be led astray, and whomsoever Allaah leaves astray, no one can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allaah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

?O you who believe! Fear Allâh (by doing all that He has ordered and by abstaining from all that He has forbidden) as He should be feared. [Obey Him, be thankful to Him, and remember Him always], and die not except in a state of Islâm (as Muslims) with complete submission to Allâh.? (Aali Imran 3:102) ?O mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person (Adam), and from him (Adam) He created his wife [Hawwa (Eve)], and from them both He created many men and women and fear Allâh through Whom you demand your mutual (rights), and (do not cut the relations of) the wombs (kinship. Surely, Allâh is Ever an All*Watcher over you.? (An-Nisa 4:1) ?O you who believe! Keep your duty to Allâh and fear Him, and speak (always) the truth.? (Al-Ahzab 33:70)

Umar ibn Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) asked Ubbay ibn Ka?ab (may Allah be pleased with him), ?What is the meaning of Taqwa?? Ubbay ibn Ka?ab said, ?O Amir ul Mu?minin, have you walked on a field that had a lot of thorny plants?? Umar said, ?Yes? Ubbay ibn Ka?ab said, ?So what did you do?? Umar replied, ?I lifted up my clothes and I was very careful,? Ubbay ibn Ka?ab said, ?That is Taqwa.?

We are walking on a field that is full of thorny plants. Shaytan and his followers will try to seduce you and invite you to Evil. So having Taqwa in Dunya is lifting up your clothes and being careful, so that you would not touch this evil. And that is the definition of Taqwa and we ask Allah to make us of those of al- Muttaqeen.

Dear Brothers and Sisters, there?s a famous Story (parable) that I will go through, you may have herd it before, but there are some very important lessons we can learn from it. The story goes like this:

?There were four Cows. One of them was white and the other three were black. They used to live in a dangerous area surrounded by wolves. The way they protected themselves was that they were always together, they would stick together, watch out for each other, everyone was keeping an attentative eye, and they survived, even though the area was surrounded by wild beasts.

But the three black cows had a meeting one day. And they said, ?This white cow is giving us away. When we try to hide at night, because we are black no one can see us, but the enemy is able to see the white cow, so why don?t we just let him go. The three of us will be together and let?s just let the white cow go away because he is just too much trouble.? So now from that day on, the three black cows would be on one side and the poor white cow is alone. They boycotted the white cow.

Now the wolf is very intelligent. He was able to detect the disunity that was amongst these cows. So he made his move and he attacked the white cow, and while he was devouring his flesh, the three black cows were doing nothing. They were watching it, while their brother was being torn into pieces!

But the following night, the wolf attacked the three black cows, why? Because now there were one cow short. So they were not as strong as they were the day before. Because they let down their brother white cow, now the wolf attacked them and was able to snatch away one of the black cows. And now we only have two left.

So the following night, it was an even easier thing for the wolf because only two are left, so he ate one of them. And then on the final night there was only one cow left and the cow was trying frantically to run away from the wolf, but now the cow has no supporter and no helper. So the wolf is pursing it with confidence and he knows this cow will get tired and fall down, there?s nothing the cow could do. Nobody to help him, so the wolf is walking around very happily with confidence, and he pounced at the cow and grabbed him by the neck, and while he did that and the cow was pronouncing his last words, he made a very important statement, a statement that is a great lesson that we can learn from. This black cow said, (while he was dying), ?I was eaten, the day the white cow was eaten. I had signed on my execution form, the day I allowed the white cow to be eaten, that?s when I died. I didn?t die now, I didn?t die today?I died when I allowed the wolf to eat the white cow?

Now brothers and sisters I?m sure some of you have already derived some lessons out of this story. I will now go through some of them Insha?Allah

Lesson 1: The Ummah

This story is a good representation of the situation of the Muslim Ummah today. This is exactly what is happening. We are watching one Muslim nation fall one after another, and we are watching, sitting back, doing nothing. When Palestine was taken, we did nothing. And then one nation after another is falling into problems; you have Kashmir, you have Chechnya, the Muslims in the Philippines, and now we have Iraq, and the Ummah is doing nothing. The Ummah is watching, while Iraq is being devoured. It?s not going to end there, because it?s going to spill over to other countries like Syria and only Allah knows who is next! So those nations weren?t taken today, they were taken along time ago. When we allowed a Muslim nation to fall down, we have allowed the same thing to happen to each and every one of us.

Lesson 2: Unity

This shows us the consequences of having disunity. When these cows didn?t stick together, when the allowed the enemy to snatch one of them away, this is what happened to them, they were all defeated. Dear brothers and sisters, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) had given an analogy of the Ummah, Nu'man b. Bashir reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: ?The similitude of believers in regard to mutual love, affection, fellow-feeling is that of one body; when any limb of it aches, the whole body aches, because of sleeplessness and fever.? [Sahih Muslim, Book 032, Number 6258]

The Prophet (peace be upon him) is saying, if your finger is injured or your foot is injured, any part of the body is injured and you feel that pain, you cannot sleep! And your body develops a fever because your body is trying to fight the bacteria inside the infection. It?s trying to fight the enemy so the whole body gets involved in that process. That is the description the Prophet (peace be upon him) gave of the Ummah.

So if a Muslim, in the East, or in the West, or South or North, whether if it?s in the centre of the body or the tips, where it?s on the finger or the toes, you should feel the same pain as if it is happening to you own family. If you are only concerned about your own safety and the safety of your direct family, then there?s something wrong. You are not really part of the body. The Prophet (peace be upon him) is saying the Ummah is one body, it doesn?t matter if they are split into different political states or if they are in different groups, or if they belong to different Madhahabs, as long as this person is a Muslim; and a Muslim is a person who has a sound belief in Allah, somebody who is not deviant, that?s a Muslim.

The thing is that sometimes we look at it as, ?Only me and my group are Muslim?, Why? Because he doesn?t follow my Jamaa?h, he?s not following my way. As long as you cannot prove that that Muslim is a Kaffir, he?s a Muslim. As long as you don?t have evidence, that such a person is a Murtad (Apostate), he is a Muslim; whether he belongs to the same Madhhab or the same group or the same country, it doesn?t make a difference.

Now we all talk about the importance of having Unity. If we talking about having Unity in terms of having one Group and just abandoning all these different Jamaa?ts and we get ride of all of these different Madhahabs and we?ll all just be copies of each other, that?s an impossible thing to have. What we mean by Unity is that even though your approach to Islamic work might be different, the Madhhab that you follow might be different, however, you are there to help you brother when your brother is in need, that is Unity. You could have different approaches to work, you could be doing different things, because we need different things, the Ummah needs everything today. We have a short coming and deficiency in each and every area, therefore we need Muslims to fill those posts, and therefore our approach would be different. Some people are into Da?wah, some people will be into seeking ?Ilm (Islamic Knowledge), some people will be into ?Ibadaah (Worship), people are different. Not everybody can be a copy of everyone else.

People have different abilities. Some people make good scholars, some people make good Imams, some people make good teachers and some people make a good advisor. People are different. Some people, they are good at doing work, they are not really into talking and theory, they are good at doing the daily work that the Muslims need. Everybody is fulfilling a role. And we need to appreciate that. So what is ment by Unity, it means when your brother is in need, you jump to help him, that is Unity. Regardless of what his ideology is as long as he is a Muslim. That is Unity.

So we have to fulfil the meaning of the hadith, that the Ummah is, ??one body; when any limb of it aches, the whole body aches?? You need to feel the pain and suffering when you see what is happening to your brothers and sisters in other parts of the world. You need to be concerned about what is happening in Palestine and Iraq. You need to be concerned with what is happening in Kashmir, even though it is not you country. And some of these Muslim countries have problems among them, they have wars, they have political problems, but as a Muslim, it shouldn?t make a difference to you. These governments are having problems with each other, but that nation, the Muslims in there are my brothers (and sisters). That?s how you should look at it. So we should have that concern for the Muslim Ummah. The one that is not concerned about the Muslims doesn?t belong to them.

Narrated 'Abdullah: The Prophet said, "Everyone will be with those whom he loves." [Sahih Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 73, Number 189] You will be with the people you love on the day of Judgement. If you have love for the Muslims, you will be with the Muslims on the day of judgement. If you have love for the Kuffar, you will be with the Kuffar on the day of Judgement, that?s how it works. That?s the Justice of Allah. Somebody who loves the Muslims, will be with the Muslims, and will follow them wherever they will go. And that?s why on the Day of Judgement, the Prophet (peace be upon him said, ?Allah will tell the people, ?Follow the Gods you used to worship.?? So whoever used to worship the cross will follow the cross, and whoever used to worship an idol will follow that idol. Allah is telling them, if you didn?t worship me, you can?t expect me to give you the Rewards. Go to your gods and tell them to reward you on this day. And then Allah will take all of the false gods and throw them in Hell fire, and there people will have to follow them. Because Allah is just, u did it for Him, He will reward you, but if you did it for somebody else, you go and ask the reward from the other god. And there is No god besides Allah.

Lesson 3: The consequences of betrayal. The consequences of forsaking a Muslim.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Umar: Allah's Apostle said, "A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim, so he should not oppress him, nor should he hand him over to an oppressor. Whoever fulfilled the needs of his brother, Allah will fulfill his needs; whoever brought his (Muslim) brother out of a discomfort, Allah will bring him out of the discomforts of the Day of Resurrection, and whoever screened a Muslim, Allah will screen him on the Day of Resurrection . " [Sahih Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 43, Number 622 and Volume 9, Book 85, Number 83; Sahih Muslim, Book 032, Number 6250] The three cows in the story handed the white cow over to the enemy.

Now by doing this, they thought they are securing themselves. They thought they would be safe if they handed over this white cow. This white cow was out spoken, it was causing a lot of trouble, it was being accused of being a terrorist, so let him go, we don?t want anything to do with him. Let him go to jail. But the thing is they don?t realise that it will come to you next. You will be next in line. So brothers, if you want to protect yourselves, now we are not talking about doing anything for your brothers that are down, if you want to protect yourself you need to stop that. You need to stop such things from happening, because as soon as you allow one Muslim to be taken, Allah does not help you anymore. You loose the assistance of Allah. ??Whoever fulfilled the needs of his brother, Allah will fulfill his needs; whoever brought his (Muslim) brother out of a discomfort, Allah will bring him out of the discomforts of the Day of Resurrection??If you work to help your Muslim brothers who are in need, Allah will help you when you are in need in the day of judgement.

Now all of us know that we cannot make it alone. Without the help and assistance of Allah, we cannot go anywhere. If you want the assistance of Allah to be on your side, Jump to the assistance of your brother. That?s how you will protect yourself. If you let him (your Muslim brother) down, don?t think that will please you enemy, no! It won?t! They enemy will carry on. Take it as a rule, Shaytan will never be satisfied, will never be happy, until he is able to destroy the entire Ummah. Nothing will satisfy Shaytan. If you try to please him by all means, it?s not going to work. He has been our enemy since the time of Adam and he will carry on being our enemy until the time of the Day of Judgement. Don?t think that you will please him and keep him quiet, by feeding him one of your brothers. No! His hunger is never satisfied. His thirst is never quenched.

If we betray or forsake a Muslim who is in need today, be assured that Allah will forsake us tomorrow. And brothers and sisters, for you who are living in the west, you are living in a dilemma, your children are brought up in a non-Islamic environment and you?re not going to be around, you?re going to die?one day you are going to die and leave them behind. And only Allah knows what their fate will be, possibly they could grow up and become non Muslims, that?s a possibility. We ask Allah that none of our children go astray from the Straight Path, but the thing is that you need to invest for the future of your children. You need to invest something for them, to ensure they will carry on, on the straight path. You don?t want to be held accountable on the Day of Judgement and Allah is telling you, ?You are the ones who brought your families to this Land, therefore you are responsible for what they do in the future. And you will be responsible for generations after generations that come.? So you want to invest for your children. And the way you do that, is by standing up for your brother who is in need of help. Allah will be there for you and will be there for your children.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said in the hadith of Ibn Abbas, ?If you take care of the command of Allah, Allah will take care of you (and you will find Allah with you).? And how does that happen? Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali explains the hadith. He says:

i) If you take care of Allah, Allah will take care of you by keeping you away from vain desires and doubts in Imaan (Belief);

ii) If you take care of the commands of Allah when you are young, Allah will take care of you in you old age;

iii) If you take care of the commands of Allah, Allah will take care of your children.

And Ibn Rajab gives an example of the Last one. He talks about the Story of Musa and al-Khidr. [The full story can be found here : http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Islam_True/message/107] Allah says in Quran, ?Then they both (Musa and al-Khidr) proceeded, till, when they came to the people of a town, they asked them for food, but they refused to entertain them. Then they found therein a wall about to collapse and he (Khidr) set it up straight. [Mûsa (Moses)] said: If you had wished, surely, you could have taken wages for it!"? (Al-Kahf 18:77) Then Al-Khidr explains why he fixed the wall for free, "And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the town; and there was under it a treasure belonging to them; and their father was a righteous man, and your Lord intended that they should attain their age of full strength and take out their treasure as a mercy from your Lord. And I did it not of my own accord. That is the interpretation of those (things) over which you could not hold patience." (Al-Kahf 18:82)

So Allah took care of the orphans because there father were righteous. These orphans were not old enough to be held accountable, so we could not have known if they were going to be righteous or not, but the reason why Allah put the treasure there was because their father was a righteous man. And the father had already passed away, so Allah was taking care of that mans kids. And Allah sent al-Khidr all the way just to fix that wall, why? This was because their father was a righteous man. So not only will take care of them when you are alive, but he will take care of them after you pass away, what?s better then that?! Therefore we need to be taking care of the Commands of Allah, and don?t think by ducking down you will be safe, you will not, you will be next.

Now dear brothers and sisters, we talked about this issue in general, however some specific in you city, in your own neighbourhood, we are not talking about things that are happening in Iraq or Palestine or somewhere else. In your own city and this country, many Muslims have been arrested. You know when you talk about Guantanamo bay and all that stuff; there is a Guantanamo bay in this country. There were 524 Muslims who were arrested under the new laws and only 2 of them have been charged. You have over 520 Muslims who are locked up in Jail, and are left to rot in there, and they haven?t committed any crime and there no charges brought against them. They are left there in just months on end, to rot there in the prison cells. What have you done for them? Your North African brothers who have nobody to help them in this country, and the Muslim community is not doing anything for them and they are left there, years at end.

One brother was telling me about the conditions of his family; these are poor brothers and sisters, their families are left without any caretakers, and they are suffering poverty, and no one is doing anything for them. And recently there have been some British citizens who were arrested; later on they were released because there was nothing against them. And one of them, he was beaten up by police, when they arrested him, and he did not resist at all, he raised up his hands and the police came in and started beating him up. And then what did they do? After he was bleeding and had a black eye and blood was coming from his ears and urine, the police put him in the posture of sujood and they told him, ?Where is you God now?? Insult to Islam, insult to our religion, insult to our Ummah, you need to do something; you can?t just sit there and watch. This is an insult to our religion, it?s not just an insult to the brother, and it?s an insult to Islam. You putting someone in sujood and telling him where is you god? Allahu Akbar, you are trying to challenge Allah? Allah is Just and Allah will revenge for himself. Allah does not need us. But the thing is that we can?t allow such things to happen and we watch.

You just sit there watching and doing nothing. Thinking by ducking down and being quiet, we will be safe. If you don?t stop it now, it could happen to you, it could happen to your wife, it could happen to your own daughter. You need to stop it in its tracks before it grows. So you need to do whatever you are capable of doing. It?s a responsibility that?s hanging on your neck, its something that you owe to your Muslim brothers, you owe to the Ummah and you owe to Allah. You know you don?t think that our religion is just you talk about theoretical things and we stay away from what is happening to the Ummah. That is why the Muslims in Spain, lost Spain. Al-Makari, who was a classical Muslim historian, said (and this was while the Muslim towns were falling down) , ?The Muslim towns were being invaded by the crusaders by town after another and they were falling one after another and you can walk into the mosques of Andalus and you can hear nothing about what?s happening to the Muslims. Nobody talks about it in the Khuthbah, no body talks about it in the lessons, nothing! The scholars are talking about theoretical things and they are leaving the Ummah, and the Ummah is being betrayed.?

Ibn Hazm al-Andalusi, the famous scholar from Andalus, was so frustrated and fed up of the situation of the scholars and the imams of al-Andalus, he said, ?Do not be deceived by these Fusaaq (corrupt people), who claim to be scholars while they are wearing the skins of sheep on hearts of wolves.? He said what are they doing? They are doing nothing for the Ummah. The Ummah is falling down, the Ummah is being fought against, and the land of al-Andalus is being invaded and they are talking about some other issues.

So we need to stand up, we need to immobilise, we need to unify, we need to stand up and make our voice herd and this is an Ibadaah; it is an Ibadaah you are doing. You are worshipping Allah by assisting your brothers. And Allah will save it for you, in Dunya and you will be rewarded in Akhira (the Hereafter). And you are going to need it because the Ummah is going through fitan (Trials and Tribulations), each and every one of us is going through fitan. We ask Allah to protect us, to protect our families, and to protect our descendants?Ameen

And It is Only Allah Who grants success. May Allah Exalt th mention of His slave and Messenger Muhammad, and render him, his household and companion safe from Evil.

Prosecutors Readying an Army of Witnesses to Testify Against Bashir

May Allah release him soon again.

Prosecutors Readying an Army of Witnesses to Testify Against Bashir
Jakarta Globe

Prosecutors in the terrorism trial of Abu Bakar Bashir say they are preparing more than 130 witnesses whose testimonies they hope will help to finally put away the firebrand cleric who has beaten serious charges in previous trials.

Most of the witnesses are co-defendants in the case related to the paramilitary camp busted in Aceh last year, as well as followers of Bashir, who is scheduled to enter a plea on Thursday.

The 72-year-old faces three counts of funding terrorist activities; two counts of illegal firearm possession; a charge of mobilizing and inciting people to commit acts of terrorism; and a charge of using violence with intent to inflict human casualties.

He faces the death penalty if convicted. Prosecutors introduced Bashir as the co-founder and leader of Jamaah Ansharut Tauhid, a fundamentalist group whose aim was to establish an Islamic state in Indonesia.

Founded on Sept. 17, 2008, JAT acknowledges a single leadership, in this case Bashir, whose orders should be interpreted as the word of God and his prophet, the indictment says.

Seemingly afraid to again lose the case against Bashir, prosecutors linked him to the murder of police officers and a deadly bank heist in Medan, along with the main charge of financing the Aceh camp and mobilizing militants. These are some of the key witnesses:

Abu Tholut

In police custody after a major manhunt following the discovery of the Aceh camp and the deadly bank heist in Medan allegedly carried out by his group. He is also linked to several attacks on police officers.

Abu’s case was notorious for highlighting the failure of the government’s deradicalization program for terror convicts.

In July 2004, he was convicted of illegal possession of arms and making bombs for terror attacks and sentenced to seven years in prison.

However, he was released on parole in 2007.

Prosecutors in the current case allege he was appointed by Bashir to lead the Aceh camp together with the late Dulmatin.

Ubaid aka Luthfi Haidaroh

Together with Bashir, he founded the fundamentalist group Jamaah Anshorut Tauhid, which aims to establish an Islamic state in Indonesia.

He also acted as a treasurer, collecting and distributing funds for the Aceh training camp.

Prosecutors are seeking a 15-year prison sentence for him in his trial at the West Jakarta District Court.

Abdul Haris a k a Haris Amir Falah

He was appointed by Bashir to chair the JAT’s Jakarta branch in 2009.

His role in the Aceh camp was to hook potential donors by showing them videos of the activities in Aceh and deliver a message from Bashir about the need to financially support paramilitary training.

The JAT Jakarta office was raided by police in the middle of last year, and from the documents seized police were able to arrest Bashir in West Java last August.

Syarif Usman

A native of Rangkas Bitung in Banten, Syarif is accused of providing at least Rp 200 million ($23,000) for the Aceh camp.

He is alleged to have done so after meeting Bashir.

In his statement to police, Syarif says the cleric stayed overnight at his home last February and told him, “I’m running a jihad program that needs funding.”

The doctor and Haris are currently standing trial at the South Jakarta District Court.

Hariyadi Usman

He has been introduced by prosecutors as a businessman with a degree in economics.

Prosecutors allege he was an admirer of Bashir for years until he decided to meet the cleric in person at Bashir’s Islamic boarding school in Ngruki, Central Java, in September 2008.

He donated Rp 150 million to Bashir for the Aceh camp, raised in part from the sale of his car. Hariyadi is being tried at the West Jakarta District Court.

Philippines Deploys Bus Marshals After Blast Killed 5 Commuters
By Joel Guinto - Jan 27, 2011

The Philippines deployed 300 marshals to board and police Manila’s 7,000 buses after a bomb exploded in a passenger bus killing five people and injuring 13 in the capital this week.

The deployment of two-man teams started hours after the bombing on Jan. 25, Manila police Director Nicanor Bartolome told reporters in Manila. The policemen may conduct inspections and question passengers, Edwin Lacierda, a spokesman for President Benigno Aquino also told reporters today.

Police were also deployed at potential attack targets including train stations and shopping malls, Lacierda said.

The Philippines has overtaken Indonesia and Thailand as the Southeast Asian country facing the greatest risk from terrorists, according to a report this month from FTI-International Risk, which provides political and security assessments. The U.S., U.K., France, Canada and Australia last year warned their citizens of possible terror attacks in the Philippines.

Aquino protested the travel advisories and yesterday said the bus bombing may be part of an extortion attempt instead of a terrorist attack.

Our Mujahidin is Patient

2010-12-30T23:56:00.000+08:00

The kuffar discovered one plot but the mujahidin would be victors still in the end. Justice would find Jyllands-Posten eventually.

"O Prophet! urge the believers to war; if there are twenty patient ones of you they shall overcome two hundred, and if there are a hundred of you they shall overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve, because they are a people who do not understand. " Al-Anfal: 65

Danish court charges 3 men with attempted terrorism
By Mette Fraende
GLOSTRUP, Denmark | Thu Dec 30, 2010 9:00am EST

(Reuters) - Three men suspected of planning a deadly attack on a Danish newspaper appeared on Thursday before a court which charged them with an attempted act of terrorism and possession of weapons, officials said.

Police detained four men in Denmark and one in Sweden on Wednesday on suspicion of plotting an assault on offices of Jyllands-Posten, the Danish daily that outraged Muslims in 2005 with cartoons of Prophet Mohammad.

The three -- one Tunisian and two Swedish citizens -- pleaded not-guilty to the charges, Lykke Sorensen, an official of the Danish Security and Intelligence Service PET, told reporters at Glostrup courthouse.

On Wednesday, Danish security police chief Jakob Scharf had said that the arrests prevented an "imminent terror attack" that aimed "to kill as many as possible" of the people present at the Copenhagen offices of the newspaper.

Scharf described the plot as a "Mumbai-style" attack, referring to the 2008 attack in the Indian city in which 10 Pakistani gunmen killed 166 people in a three-day coordinated raid on landmarks including two hotels and a Jewish center.

Police brought the three suspects to a court in the Copenhagen suburb of Glostrup, which ordered that they be held in custody for four weeks pending more investigations.

"The three persons will now be held in custody for four weeks, of which the first two are in isolation," Sorensen said. "The investigation will continue in close cooperation between the police, the PET and (Swedish security police) SAPO."

GUNS AND AMMUNITION

A fourth man detained in Denmark, a 26-year-old Iraqi asylum-seeker, was released but remains a suspect though police did not have evidence to hold him further, Sorensen said.

The fifth detainee, a 37-year-old Swedish citizen, was scheduled to appear before a court in Sweden later on Thursday and was also expected to be remanded in custody, a Swedish court official said.

The men, who came to Denmark from Sweden on the night of December 28, are suspected of plotting to attack by January 1 the office block on Copenhagen's city hall square that houses Jyllands-Posten and another newspaper, police said.

In connection with the arrests, police found plastic strips that could be used as handcuffs, a machine gun, a pistol and more than 100 cartridges, police said.

Jyllands-Posten was the paper that first published the Mohammad cartoons in 2005, provoking violent protests against Danish and European interests in the Middle East, Africa and Asia in which at least 50 people died.

The furor sparked by those caricatures, including one of the Prophet with a turban resembling a bomb, has led to several plots on the paper, cartoonists and other journalists involved.

Zubair Hussain, spokesman for the Muslim Council of Denmark which represents more than 30,000 of the estimated 200,000 Muslims in the country, condemned the plotters' plans.

"As Danish Muslims, we feel it is important to say that this has nothing to do with Islam," he said. "We are all victims in this case. No one will ask before they blow something in the air, or before they shoot, 'are you Muslim or non-Muslim?'"

Jakarta court jails seven for terrorism

Jakarta court jails seven for terrorism
December 27, 2010 - 8:09PM

AFP

An Indonesian court on Monday sentenced seven men involved in a terror cell known as al-Qaeda in Aceh, which plotted to kill Westerners, to jail terms of up to eight years.

The court heard that the group, which was believed to be training to carry out Mumbai-style attacks by small groups of suicide gunmen, had also targeted political figures in the capital Jakarta.

Two men involved in a shooting that wounded German Red Cross staffer Erhard Bauer in Aceh last year, received the stiffest punishment of eight years in jail.

The two, Andri Marlan Syahputra and Chairul Fuadi, were also found guilty of taking part in a shooting of a house rented by two US student teachers and a grenade attack at the United Nations office in the provincial capital.

"Syahputra was found guilty of committing a terrorist act," Judge Mirdin Alamsyah told a Jakarta court, adding that Fuadi had assisted the gunmen in tracking the Red Cross worker's car.

In separate trials, the court sentenced five men to jail terms of between five and seven years for attending the cell's training camp and possessing illegal firearms.

The sentences were lighter than the 12 years sought by prosecutors and the maximum death penalty for terror offences.

Hundreds of suspected militants have been arrested or killed in connection with the Aceh network, including its alleged spiritual leader and financier Abu Bakar Bashir, a well-known radical cleric.

Fight in the forest - a Jihad story

Not so long ago, Hunafa published a Jihad story, called 'Fight in the forest'. A vivid, thrilling and enlightening testimony. In one word it's a must read. Insha'Allah, this modest translation will give some insight of what the fight in the forest looks like...

In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful

The story I decided to tell you is known to many brothers in the Wilayah Ghalghaycho. In my opinion, it is very instructive and can be useful for the Mujahideen, as it shows the experience of the Mujahideen of the older generation.

Those who know this story can add or correct it if I'm wrong in something or if something is left unsaid.

These events took place in the mountainous regions of Ingushetia, in the spring of 2004. When a small detachment of one of the combat Jamaat of Ghalghaycho, numbering up to fifteen people, under the temporary (the group was usually subordinated to another Amir) leadership of a well-known and experienced Amir, Sayf all-Islam al-Masri (may Allah accept his Martyrdom), moved from the plains to the mountains near the village of Alkun.

The goals of the campaign were exploration and preparation for combat operations in the mountains on the border between Ghalghaycho and Nokhchicho.

After a march of about twenty kilometer's long, Sayf al-Islam chose the place to set up the base. In the group there were other experienced Mujahideen, and some Amirs of subunits, so Sayf al-Islam was always advised and was often discussing the various options with the brothers.

Quickly, he spotted a place for Ribaat (a surveillance postion) [1], in the immediate vicinity of the base, where the approaches to the base could be watched properly. After having set the time and the order of change of the Ribaat, he studied the construction of the base itself.

First, he took up engineering equipement, in order to set defensive weapon emplacements. To this end, he took with him some of the most experienced Mujahideen, and together they departed from the base, about a hundred meters away, and then he offered to organize an attack on its own base (in order to spot the weaknesses in the defences).

The brothers began with the most convenient and concealed approach routes to the base, then they examined the places from where the base could be seen and where there was an opportunity to engage direct fire on it, they also noted the most convenient firing positions for the attackers and the natural covers (pit, large stones, massive trees). Also, from the standpoint of the attackers, they identified the most vulnerable and lesser defended points.

Returning to the base, taking into account the possible positions of the attackers and the vulnerabilities of the base, they determined where to set up defensive positions. Divided in pairs, the Mujahideen started to dug up trenches and then, camouflaged them.

After that, Sayf al-Islam assigned the positions between the Mujahideen of the group, and ordered that, in case of attack, each one should quickly join its position. Also, he indicated to each Mujahid his firing sector and the possible enemy positions, on which he should shoot in case of attack.

Then, all joined the shelter, except a Mujahid who was cooking the dinner.

As for the construction, a shelter requires a lot of trunks, branches and twigs, but the Amir forbade to cut them down near the base, as this could unmask the location of the base to eventual air reconaissances. In addition, he ordered to cover the traces of fresh cut (carcasses of cut trees, sawdust, etc...) on the place where the wood have been harvested, in order to prevent a detection from the enemy. After the first rain, the place has been washed from all the sawdust.

The Mujahideen were forbidden to leave their weapons, all the things (apart from the wet things after being washed) should always be packed in backpacks, the "unloading" was allowed only for the night, during the sleep. Everything was prepared so that a Mujahid was ready to leave the base with the loads he was given, within ten seconds, at any time of the day.

Many of the brothers slept with their guns and backpacks (the grenades were pulled out and laid next to the backpacks), and as they said later, by two or three days they were fully accustomed to this and did not feel any discomfort.

The base was developed, and the life went on as usual. On daily basis, the Mujahideen were carrying out reconnaissance patrols which were necessary for the base's safety, and in addition, the lesser experienced brothers learned how to move properly (in the woods), the correct way to watch and listen in the woods, the target areas, etc...

One day, Sayf al-Islam noticed that the dinner was coinciding with the time of the evening prayers (Maghreb), and sometimes was stretching till dusk. He ordered to cook the dinner earlier, so that all (the dinner and the cleaning of the dishes) would be finished before the evening prayer, since the infidels often stage attacks in the pre-dawn and twilight.

A few days later, it was a Monday or Thursday [2], some of the brothers were fasting, including Hamza. That evening, as it had been previously established by the Amir, the dinner was ready an hour before the evening prayer. Located at the base, Hamza proposed to replace Yusuf at the Ribaat post, as the breaking time of his fasting has not come yet. Thus, Yusuf could dine before its food becomes cold, and then return to the Ribaat, just in time for the fasting break of Hamza.

Sayf al-Islam always finished his dinner before the others, and that evening he had already cleaned his dishes. He said to the brothers to finish (what they were doing), as it was pratically the time of the Maghreb prayer. At that moment, when he got up and went to the shelter, a light noise was heard from the Ribaat position, and almost simultaneously about ten shots of automatic weapons were heard. Literally at the same instant, Sayf al-Islam seized his "Stechkin" [3] from his holster, did a full turn toward the enemy, and shouted to everyone to take positions.

Everybody ran like a lightning in the trenches, as they learned to do so during the alert exercises. Began the battle. The firing were dense, the infidels were using machine guns, submachine guns and grenade launchers. The Mujahideen, each being in its own position, answered the same. And only two were rushing between the trenches: Amir Sayf al-Islam and Hanif the rocket laucher (RPG-7) gunner.

The Amir, jumping out from trench to trench, checking whether there was any wounded, was repeatedly reminding everyone his firing sector, constantly urging for heavy fire, because it's psychologically difficult to keep firing at an invisible enemy. In one of the trenches a Mujahid said to Sayf al-Islam: "Where to shoot? There's no one in sight..." - "Shoot, all the same !" - he replied.

For Hanif, it was its first battle, but no one could believe it, and certainly not the infidels. Very tall, the thin Hanif, after two shots, jumped out from its entrenchment and started to run across the base with its RPG-7 . By his shots he "silenced" an enemy machine gun and several other enemy weapons emplacements. In this fight, Hanif made seven aimed shots with its rocket launcher, accompanying each shot by the cry: "Bismillaah! Allahu Akbar! "

The battle lasted about ten minutes. Several times, the infidels tried to approach even closer to the base, to surround it and discover the weaknesses in the defense of the Mujahideen. But the intense and well-organized fire of the soldiers of Allah did not gave them this opportunity. Frequently, cries were heard from the infidel's side, it became clear that, by the will of Allah, another Mujahid's bullet achieved its purpose.

The density and aimed fire of infidels was also high. One bullet made six holes in a Mujahid, by perforating his bent arm, on both side.

In the end, the attack bogged down, and the infidels, while keeping shooting, began to withdraw. The Mujahideen continued to repel them out with automatic firing. When the shooting subsided, the Mujahideen packed their bags and quickly left the base. Hanif, the RPG gunner, tried to carry on himself the body of Hamza for a while, but it was critically slowing down the group, and it has been necessary to leave the body of the Shaheed.

After retreating a few kilometers away from the base, the Mujahideen stopped. They needed to rest and examine two wounded among them.

By the grace of Allah, the injuries were mild, none any vital organs nor bones were affected. Although one was hit in the groin, and another, as said earlier, had six holes in his body! After washing and bandaging the wounds, the Mujahideen kept going. They heard the noise of helicopters which were firing on their abandoned base.

It is worth noting that the infidel troops never engages in a battle, if not confident in their numerical and positional advantage. For example, if they are ambushed, they do not engage in fight, instead, while firing back, they retreat and await reinforcements, since they don't know the number of their opponent's postions.

However, in this battle, as it turned out later, despite their numerical superiority, the infidels lost three killed and five wounded. These heavy losses forced them to retreat and call for backup.

Due to the foresight of an experienced Amir, the infidels did not caught our brethren unawares. In addition, an important success factor was the fact that Hamza (who was in the Ribaat position), while being mortally wounded, managed to shoot, and only Allah knows whether its bullets reached a target, but the main thing he did, is that he warned the brothers in the base by doing this.

Almost all the brothers who participated in that battle, gave their lives in this way, in the following years, including Amir Sayf al-Islam (Shaheed Insha'Allah in Dagestan, on Feb. 02, 2010).

May Allah increase their acts His way, grant them Paradise and give patience to their relatives and friends.

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.

Abu Tholut to get a team of 16 lawyers

The Jakarta Post | Thu, 12/16/2010 9:22 AM

JAKARTA: Recently captured terrorist suspect Abu Tholut will be defended by a team of 16 attorneys “not related to the Muslim Lawyer’s Team [TPM],” team representatives said.

TPM is the legal team defending Abu Bakar Ba’asyir and Fadil Sadama, among other terrorist suspects.

“We know [Abu Tholut] personally,” attorneys Kusniati and Yuswakir said Wednesday at the National Police Headquarters in Jakarta.

Yuswakir and Kusniati said the team had been trying to meet Abu Tholut, alias Imron Baihaqi, since Wednesday morning.

Abu Tholut was captured in Kudus, Central Java, but is now being processed in Jakarta. He had been arrested before for illegal possession of firearms.

“We went to the Brimob [Mobile Brigade] detention center, but then were told to come here. We were given all sorts of reasons [for not meeting Abu Tholut],” Kusniati said, adding that the team of lawyers has been around since 2003, and was called GAIB, which stands for the Advocacy Group for Imran Baihaqi.

Police say they believed Tholut was one of the instructors in a military-style training camp in Jantho, Aceh, which was raided by police in February.

He is also believed to have established a similar camp in the Philippines. Terrorist suspect and Jamaah Anshorut Tauhid (JAT) leader Abu Bakar Ba’asyir, acknowledged his ties to Tholut.

“He’s my friend. He’s a real warrior,” Ba’asyir said at the National Police headquarters last week. — JP

Stances Regarding the Method of Relief Work

2010-10-07T19:39:00.002+08:00

للشيخ المجاهد / أسامة بن لادن حفظه الله
By The Mujahid Sheikh / Osama bin Laden May Allah protect him

All praise be to Allah, we thank Him, and seek His assistance, and seek forgiveness fromHim, and we ask Allah to protect us from the evil of our deeds and the sins of our making,He whom Allah guides can never be misguided, and He whom Allah doesn't
guide will never find Guidance.

I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, alone with no partners, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

To proceed:

My Muslim nation:

Peace be upon you, and the Mercy of Allah, and His blessings.
I congratulate you on the arrival of the blessed month of Ramadan, the month of Quran, the month of fasting and elongated night prayers, the month of alms giving and jihad, let's put effort into worshipping, and more effort into staying away from whatever deviates from our remembrance of Allah, Glorified and Exalted.

My Muslim brothers:

What our nation is going through by way of great climate changes and its effects in terms of the catastrophes and great natural disasters that have taken place in many Islamic countries, it is not sufficient any more to accept what has been done in terms of rescue work as it has been done in the past. Even though tents, food and medicine are arriving when required, the scale of the disasters needs much more than what's being presented, in terms of quantity, quality, type and timing.

We need a huge change in the method of rescue work, as while the number of victims of current climate change is very high, the numbers will greatly increase in the future,
according to studies. The number affected are greater than those affected by war, for which countries enrol the strongest of men and assign them into training programs using up a large portion of their budget.

What the countries in the region have spent up until now is in the region of 100,000 Euros per year, and this has had no effect on situation of the Palestinians, while dealing with the rescue work is considered even less important: what is spent on relief doesn't even come close to the amount that is spent maintaining their armies. If only 1% of those budgets had been spent in honesty and with experience for the last decade on rescue work, the face of the earth would have been different for the poor, and their circumstances would likewise be very different.

What we are experiencing today, with large part of the earth suffering drought especially in Africa, while floods ravage other regions, costing thousands of lives to be lost in just a few days Pakistan alone, not to mention the fact that millions of people were made homeless and were displaced.

This requires that those with kind hearts, and men of will, move in a determined manner to swiftly assist their Muslim brothers in Pakistan. As this disaster is huge and is indescribable, it requires a huge aid effort, so elect from amongst yourselves someone to come and see the situation on the ground for you. Have you not seen the Muslim Pakistani brother who was up to his chest in water, with his hands held up holding his two children who were between the ages of 5 and 6? Or haven't you heard those women begging you, by the name of Allah, Glorified and Exalted, to come and rescue them?

Therefore everyone who is capable of aiding the Muslims in Pakistan, he must recognise the severity of this affair for the Muslims: millions of children are now surviving in the open: deprived of the most basic necessities of life, including clean drinking water, which makes them highly susceptible to numerous serious diseases, and which causes them to lose fluids and causes dehydration, which contributes to a very high infant mortality rate. I ask Allah the Exalted to lighten the burden on them, and the have mercy on them.

Due to the increasing effects of the disasters occurring due to climate change, the response shouldn't be only to give emergency aid, but rather to create a specialised aid organisation, which has enough knowledge, experience and energy to enable it to deal efficiently with the great effects of climate changes which are rapidly increasing. This organisation should bear many responsibilities and great duties which require the combined efforts of the sincere.

One of its duties would be, for example, to make a study of those communities situated next to rivers, and in valleys and finding ways to prepare them for the effects of climate change. What happened recently in the city of Jeddah as a result of the floods, was to be expected for a very simple reason: that the city of Jeddah and many like it are not only located in valleys but also because many establishments and residential areas are built upon a poorly-drained area.

I am not trying to assign blame for this disaster, that must be dealt with separately, but I am merely stating the facts, so that we avoid this happening again in the future, and to find radical solutions to dangers that may threaten people's lives.We should review the safety standards and regulations for all of our dams and bridges.

Second:

We must do what's necessary for those countries which are hit by famines, occurring as a result of war or climate change. As we often know of an imminent famine one year or more in advance, any delay in supplying necessary aid may result in huge number of casualties especially amongst children. He who survives death couldn't avoid having a weak body,and weak mental capabilities, as a result of malnutrition.

Third:

We must create development projects in those afflicted and underdeveloped areas. There's a great chance to establish these projects, as in general they would only require limited expenses, for example building canals and dams in the countries where there's seasonal rain such as Sudan, Chad, Somalia and Yemen. From my past experience in Sudan before, one dam was able to irrigate tens of thousands of hectares of land which meant tens of thousands of people could return. And the cost of this project, including all the canals would be around 250,000 Euros, give or take a little, based on the availability of construction materials.

Fourth:

We must work towards building food security. The reports state that if even one of the major wheat exporting countries were to stop exporting, due to some disaster of their own, the result would be many deaths due to famines around the world especially in our region.

This problem couldn't be solved with money, which wouldn't be of any use when famine strikes and there was no bread available, which is the main food. In Sudan, which has seasonal rain areas that are good for planting wheat exceeding 200 million hectares, only a little of it has been used.

So the people have to aware of these dangers, and we must encourage merchants and the families of merchants, to make some of their people available, to aid in relief and agriculture projects. Today, merchants are the knights of these fields, so to save their nations from expected famines, we have to concentrate on these areas and avoid investing in less important matters. We can't think of investing in agriculture in these circumstances as requiring a lot of effort and only generating a small income if compared to other investments. The situation today is not that merely one of profit or loss, but rather it's a matter of life or death. Taking into consideration that this kind of deal need insight, and to make deals that guarantee the rights of the investor, and not hinder his work, given that it's most important in investment work to be independent and that the state has no share in running it,

Investment in Africa has produced some successful results, and others that were not assuch, and it all depends on our knowledge of the people of the countries where we invest.Some people do their best work outside their own countries, for reasons such as the inclusion of other energies in the work. They produce their best results in their own countries when others are brought in to assist with the work, where those outside experts manage the business.

Fifth:

We must increase the awareness of the Muslims about the danger of using up their water wells, which are non-renewable. Instead a network of pipes should be built that connect these wells to the main water network to be used when necessary.
Finally:
I urge my Muslim brothers to do good deeds, and to do all they can to rescue those less fortunate in need and to alleviate their suffering. For when you alleviate the burden of a Believer in this world Allah will alleviate a burden from you on the Day of Judgement. So let's work towards that day, and let's consider what Allah, Glorified and Exalted, says:
"Establish worship, and pay the poor-due; and whatever of good ye send before (you) for your souls, ye will find it with Allah" [Surah al-Baqarah: 110]

May Allah reward you with the good, and I ask Allah's forgiveness. And Allah is Ever-Merciful, Oft-Forgiving
I ask Allah the All-Mighty, the Lord of the Noble Throne, to have mercy on the Muslim martyrs, whoever was killed fighting Jihad in the path of Allah, and those who drowned inthe floods. And that Allah make their graves easy for them, and to enter them into His Paradise, and to give their families recompense, for He is the only one who can do that.

I ask you Allah to preserve me from the loss of Your blessing, and the removal of your health bestowed on me, and the suddenness of your revenge, and all conditions in which you are not pleased,

Oh Allah: "Our Lord! Give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and defend us from the torment of the Fire!"
[Surah al-Baqarah:201]

May Allah send prayers on our Prophet Muhammad, and his family, and his Companions in their entirety.

Jihad in South Thailand

2010-10-07T19:05:00.002+08:00

Don't forget our mujahidin in Thailand.

Five shot dead in Thailand's south
October 6, 2010
AFP

Suspected Islamic separatist militants shot dead five civilians in attacks across Thailand's restive south, police said.

A 33-year-old Muslim man was gunned down in the driveway of his home as he returned from a party on Tuesday evening in Yala, one of three insurgency-hit provinces. He died instantly.

In a separate incident on the same evening, a 43-year-old Muslim local administration chief was shot dead at his home in Pattani province.

Also in Pattani, three Buddhist men were killed while they were transporting chickens to a slaughterhouse on Tuesday night.

The wave of violence comes as a new commander takes charge of Thailand's armed forces in the troubled southern border provinces.

More than 4,300 people, both civilians and security personnel, have been killed in the Muslim-majority region since a separatist insurgency erupted more than six years ago.

Rights groups have warned that alleged abuses by the security forces in the region risk stoking the unrest.

A Letter from the Afghan Lands to the Shaykh Abu Muhammad Al-Maqdasi May Allah preserve him

2010-08-15T23:22:00.002+08:00

A Letter from the Afghan Lands to the Shaykh Abu Muhammad Al-Maqdasi -Hafidhullah-

In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful

All praises are due to Allah for the glory of His manifestation and the greatness of His authority, and may Allah's peace and prayers be upon the one who was sent with mercy to all of the creation and with a sword placed on the necks of the tyrants and oppressors, and may Allah's peace and prayers be upon his family and his companions, and those who follow them in goodness, abundant salaams upon them all:

The Almighty said:
(الذينَ يبلِّغونَ رسالاتِ اللهِ و يخشونَهُ و لا يخشَونَ أحداً إلّا الله)
(It is the practice of those) who convey the Message of Allah, and have reverent fear of Him, and fear none but Allah alone. [Al-Ahzab 39]

And He said:
(شهدَ اللهُ أنّهُ لا إلهَ إلَّا هوَ و الملئكةُ و أولوا العلمِ قائماً بالقسطِ)
Allah bears witness that, There is nothing worthy of worship except Him alone, and so do His angels, and those endued with knowledge, He maintains His creation with justice. [Aal-e-Imran 18]

And the Exalted said:
( إنما يخشى اللهَ من عبادِهِ العلماءُ)
Indeed, those who truly fear Allah, among His Servants, are those who have knowledge [Fatir 28]

From the land of dignity and pride, from the factory of men and the resting place of heroes, and the passion in the hearts of the muwahhideen from the east to the west of the world, from the land on which the most violent waves of kufr and most aggressive armies of oppression were broken on the rock of the mujahideen, from the land whose earth embraced the finest among the people of Islam and the carriers of the deen from the muhajireen and ansar, from the land of defiant Afghanistan, to that tall mountain among the honest Ulama and the sincere du'aat, and the shining planet in the sky of those who bear the principles and the da'awaat, to the Shaykh whom Allah utilized in revealing the true and pure creed, for he was among those who removed thedistortions of the extremists , and the false claims of the liars and the misinterpretations of the ignorant, and returned back to the illuminated path, in which no crookedness can be seen, illuminated so that it's night is like it's day, with the millat of Ibrahim, demolished the affliction with his clear examinations, had the law of the jungle undone, delighted the eye by refuting the errors of the Murji'ah of the age, and corrected mistakes and lapses with his masterpieces and stances. His words and writings still greatly mold the minds of many of the people of jihad where his words have taken hold in their hearts, so those people would not bow to the tempests of intrigue or perversion. This is to the Shaykh, who speaks the truth, and we consider him thus and do not place him above his Lord, Abu Muhammad al-Maqdasi, may Allah keep him safe from the plots of Taghaat and the cunning of their prejudice take care of him and make him steadfast on this righteousness without rest or weakness or neglect, ameen:

To you, our dear Shaykh and thundering 'Alim, we send a blessed and warm greeting, a greeting of respect and reverence, a greeting that is accompanied by the highest meaning of love and friendship in Allah, and a desire to be in your company and learn from you. And it is the duty of the Ummah of Islam generally, and its vanguard, the people of jihad, in particular, to thank you, our good Shaykh, for your support of the way of tawhid and jihad both in private and in public, and this blessed da'wah burdens you with much weight and exposes you to hardships on the path of the purest of creation, the prophets and messengers, so take the examples of those who preceded you in bearing this great responsibility, and be the first to protect it and speak of it, and harkens back to the times of Islam’s glorious Ulama, like Abdullah bin al-Mubarak, Ahmad bin Hanbal, Ibn Taymiyyah, al-Izz bin Abdelsalaam, and many others who were not swayed by what befell them on the path of Allah, and neither relented nor stopped. So receive good tidings, our dear Shaykh, for the fruits of your call have ripened, and soon the clouds of the tawagheet will leave, and the land will shine with the light of its Lord, and we will step on the necks of the Arab and foreign tawagheet with the hooves of our horses, bi'ithin Allah. For Allah’s attack has been launched from here in Afghanistan, and it will not stop until the flags are placed in Bait al-Maqdis by the power and strength of Allah. We bring you good tidings that the kuffar have been thwarted and have only gained death and killing at the hands of the men of Allah and His fortunate soldiers. It is only moments away before the great titan of Islam launches and the Shari'ah of Allah spreads throughout the earth, even if the kafiroon despise this. But, every great birth must have a painful period of labor, and times of hardship and suffering and cleansing of men, and thinning of ranks, so that if the messengers despair and think they were treated as liars, then our support would come, and so righteousness would rise, and evil would fall, and history will record with pride and dignity the names of those who rose up in the days when there few such people who branded evil as infidelity at a time when many people relied on the oppressors, and went against the laws of the tawagheet at a time when most people accepted them and worshipped them. So, we ask Allah to keep you steadfast in this without deviating, straying, retreating, or digressing, amen.

And so we salute you for this, and we know that the people of falsehood have been angered, and they became united and came to destroy you and the blessed call of tawhid. And when they could not block the light of your sun with their rotten sieve, they turned to cursing the sun and its light, and they employed in this matter every lowly character and butted heads in the forums, so as to try to destroy the call of tawhid by discrediting one of its symbols. It is not possible for them to do this! It is impossible for the sea to be sullied by a lot of dirty people! And it is impossible for the sky to be harmed by the howling of dogs and those who stir up dust! And even if the people turned to brooms so as to bring dust into the sky, the sky remains the sky, and you would remain as we have known and as the people of Islam have known in the east and the west of the world: steadfast, without change, and not retreating, a defiant dam in the face of the people who attack this deen, an invulnerable fort in the path of those who attack the millat of Ibrahim, and an arrow that strikes the chest of the people of deviance and transgression, and a thorn in the throats of the tawagheet, their Ulama, and those who prop up their thrones. And this is what we think of you, and we have known your way of life, so continue with what you are doing, the Holy Spirit is with you, and Allah's eye watches over you, and the tongues of the mujahideen are always complimenting you and praying for you, and bi'ithin Allah we will meet with the Prophets, the trusted people, the Shuhadaa, and the good people in Janaat and the river, in a trusting position with the Almighty Ruler, wasalaamu alaikum waramatullahi wabarakaatuhu.

Your mujahideen sons in Afghanistan -where Allah established His Shari'a-

And do not forget us in your dua'a.

Your brothers in: Ansar Al-Mujahideen Network

May others be kept safe!

Three linked to Abu Bakar detained under ISA

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian police have arrested three suspects believed to be linked to a militant Islamic group in Aceh, less than 72 hours after Indonesia’s arrest of top radical preacher Abu Bakar Bashir.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan said the three – two Malaysians and an Indonesian – were nabbed yesterday in Temerloh, Pahang, and Ampang, Selangor. They are aged between 34 and 70.

“All three were arrested under the Internal Security Act as we believe they are involved in activities detrimental to the security of the country,” he said.

It is learnt that one of them is a managing director of a company while the other two are a contractor and a marketing executive.

A Bernama report named them as Samsul Hamidi, 34, and managing director Sheikh Abdullah Sheikh Junaid, 70. The Indonesian is Mustawan Ahbab, 34, a marketing executive who was nabbed in Bukit Indah, Ampang. He is believed to be the direct link to the Aceh cell.

Regional intelligence sources said police here had been monitoring the activities of the three well before Abu Bakar’s capture.

Abu Bakar, who is alleged to be linked to Al-Qaeda, was arrested in Jakarta on Monday for suspected involvement in the funding and setting up of a terror training camp in Aceh.

Indonesian police investigations discovered the network calling itself Al-Qaeda Aceh, which they claimed was plotting to launch an attack in Indonesia and planning the assassination of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.

Abu Bakar’s detention came following the Aug 7 arrest of five men believed to be members of the firebrand cleric’s Jamaah Anshorut Tauhid (JAT) and the discovery of high-explosive homemade bombs and bomb-making laboratory in West Java.

Yesterday, Abu Bakar was charged with plotting terror attacks in an Indonesian court.

RI police handles Indonesian terror suspect case in Malaysia: Ministry
The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Thu, 08/12/2010 10:14 AM

A Foreign Ministry spokesman said Thursday that National Police's Senior Liaison Officer in Malaysia was handling the case of Mustawan Ahbab, who was arrested by Malaysian authorities under terrorism charges.

Teuku Faizasyah told tempointeraktif.com that the Indonesian police were coordinating with the Malaysian police over the case.

“Both institutions will [investigate and later] decide Mustawan's implication in terrorism,” he said.

Media reported that Malaysia arrested Mustawan and two Malaysians, suspected as militants believed to have ties with Muslim cleric Abu Bakar Ba'asyir who was charged this week with helping plan terrorist attacks.

Malaysian authorities were holding the suspects under the Internal Security Act, which allows for indefinite detention without trial.

Ba'asyir was arrested for allegedly setting up a terror cell and militant training camp in Aceh province that was plotting high-profile assassinations and bloody attacks on foreigners in Jakarta.

Terrorism charges filed against Indonesian cleric

JAKARTA, Indonesia — Indonesia's best-known radical cleric was charged Wednesday with helping plan terrorist attacks in the world's most populous Muslim nation — a crime that carries a maximum penalty of death, police said.

Abu Bakar Bashir was arrested Monday for allegedly setting up a terror cell and militant training camp in Aceh province that was plotting high-profile assassinations and bloody attacks on foreigners in the capital.

Investigators compiled a strong case against the fiery 71-year-old cleric by monitoring his bank records, tapping phones and compiling confessions from other suspected militants, said Lt. Gen. Ito Sumardi, chief detective for the national police.

"He has been officially detained and charged with violating the anti-terrorism law," he told reporters, adding that Bashir, who has always denied terrorist links, has so far refused to cooperate with authorities.

He will not answer any questions or sign any documents.

Indonesia has been hit by a string of suicide bombings blamed on Jemaah Islamiyah, an al-Qaida-linked network, since 2002 when militants attacked two packed nightclubs on the resort island of Bali, killing 202 people.

Bashir, best known as a co-founder and spiritual head of JI, has been arrested twice before and spent several years in jail. But this is the first time officials say they can link him directly to terrorist activities.

They say he helped set up al-Qaida in Aceh, providing funding, helping choose its leaders — including Dulmatin, one of the alleged masterminds of the Bali bombings — and keeping in regular contact with its field commanders.

Though Bashir faces a maximum penalty of death, few analysts believe he will get that.

"I think the strongest evidence the police are going to have against him is financing the camp in Aceh," said Sidney Jones, an expert on Southeast Asian terror groups, adding that it is her understanding Dulmatin, killed in a March police raid, reached out to Bashir, not the other way around.

"Looking at the various charges brought against him, my guess is they would produce around a 10-year sentence."

The overwhelming majority of Indonesians are moderate Muslims who reject violence.

The country's last suicide bombing at the J.W. Marriott and Ritz Carlton hotels in Jakarta ended a four-year lull in attacks blamed on Jemaah Islamiyah and its affiliates. Since 2002, more than 260 people have died in terrorist attacks.

Ramadhan Kareem

2010-08-12T23:03:00.001+08:00

Salam Ramadhan buat sekelian umat Islam di merata dunia...

Terasa seperti semalam Ramadhan berlalu pergi dan kini kita menemuinya kembali. Cabaran demi cabaran yang umat Islam harus tempuhi dalam bulan suci ini. Dan semakin hari cabaran itu datang bertubi-tubi.

Lihat saja apa yang terjadi pada pemimpin terulung di Indonesia, bukan Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, tapi Ustaz Abu Bakar Ba'asyir yang dituduh mendalangi Al-Qaeda di Aceh. Pihak pemerintah Indonesia mengatakan mereka mempunyai bukti kukuh. Namun banyak lagi tanda tanya yang masih berlegar-legar di benak fikiran. Bukti seperti apa yang mereka maksudkan? Selagi ia tidak diberitahu pada masyarakat umum, pemerintah Indonesia hanya memperbodoh-bodohkan diri sendiri, bahawa mereka hanya bertindak atas desakan Amerika & Israel laknat.

Cabaran yang harus ditempuhi oleh saudara-saudara Islam kita di Indonesia juga semakin hebat sejak setahun yang berlalu ini. Masakan tidak? Pihak pemerintah bersusah-payah membunuh orang-orang yang disyaki menjadi terroris. Walhal aksi seperti ini juga sama seperti apa yang mereka menuduh sang mujahid ini, iaitu membunuh tanpa usul periksa. Bukankah seharusnya mereka ini dibawa ke muka pengadilan jika benar mereka disyaki melakukan perkara-perkara yang dianggap bercanggah dengan ajaran ugama? Ini tidak! Mereka dibunuh tanpa dihisab. Adilkah itu?

Dengan penangkapan dan pembunuhan yang berlaku terhadap pahlawan-pahlawan dan satria-satria Islam di Asia Tenggara kini, sifat berwaspada harus dititikberatkan agar mereka tidak jatuh dalam perangkap pemerintah-pemerintah Thogut di rantau ini. Semoga Ramadhan ini memberi sinar cahaya buat para pencinta Islam dan lindungilah para Mujahid kami dari terus disiksa dan dianiaya.

There are rumours that the PDF file is corrupted and might even have virus. Insya Allah there would be clarification soon on the much welcomed English magazine for the mujahidin. It is advised to wait first before downloading. Wa Allahu alam.

Setbacks in Indonesia

2010-06-25T00:03:00.002+08:00

Detachment 88, trained by the kuffar US military, is hunting more and more of our mujahidin down. Allah (SWT) has a reason for this which he chooses not to reveal to us yet. Maybe it is to let them think that the mujahidin are now toothless until our defenders strike back suddenly and hard.

"O ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty (unto Him)." (Quran 9:123)

Top suspect arrested in Klaten
Dicky Christanto, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Thu, 06/24/2010 9:22 AM

Police anti-terror squad Detachment 88 arrested key terror suspect Abdullah Sunata and two others, and killed a fourth suspect during a series of raids in a Central Java village on Wednesday.

Sunata is on top of the police’s most-wanted list for his alleged involvement in a series of bombing attacks and a planned assassination of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and foreign guests during a scheduled Independence Day ceremony on Aug. 17.

National Police chief Gen. Bambang Hendarso Danuri told the press in Jakarta that the police were still questioning the suspects.

“Detachment 88 arrested Abdullah Sunata and Sogir, who had worked with Azahari before. The police killed one of the suspects during an exchange of fire and one policeman was shot in the chest and is currently being treated,” he said, referring to bomb-maker Azahari, who was shot dead by the detachment in East Java in 2005.

Police identified the murdered suspect as Yuli Karsono, and the other arrested as Agus Mahmudi.
Bambang didn’t say whether the police had uncovered evidence the suspects had been planning an attack.

“The police raided a boarding house owned by Sugimin at about 3 p.m. before a fire fight broke out at about 4:30 p.m. The police seized weapons and a bomb in a backpack from the house.

Villagers of Cungkrungan in North Klaten district, Klaten regency, Central Java, said they knew that two men had rented a room in the house but had no idea they had been involved in terrorism.

The police had earlier raided a house in Girimulya village in the same district, arresting Mulyono, alias Abu, his wife and two children, and confiscating explosives and weapons at the house.

Before the discovery, the police had been hunting Sunata for his role in planning a militant training camp in Aceh and for recruiting terrorists.

Police have arrested 61 suspected militants and killed 14 in a series of raids since February, when authorities broke up a training camp run by a previously unknown terrorist group calling itself al-Qaeda in Aceh.

In 2006, Sunata was sentenced to seven years in prison for possession of weapons and for hiding Noordin M. Top, a Malaysian who was wanted in connection with five major bombings in Indonesia.

Noordin was killed by police in September 2009. Sunata was released in April 2009 for good behavior but returned to the terrorist network.

Last month, the police blocked a web blog publishing an article allegedly written by Sunata, in which he called on fellow former convicted terrorists to keep their faith in jihad and not to follow in the footsteps of those he said had become anshoru thogut, or “the helpers of evil”.

Ken Conboy, a Jakarta-based expert on Southeast Asian terrorist groups, said it would be significant if Sunata had been caught alive.

“He’d been able to connect a lot of the dots about the Aceh operations, from funding and training to potential targets,” he said as quoted by the Associated Press. “What were these guys going to be used for?”

Rusia Diggegarkan Mujahidah Islam

2010-04-05T22:51:00.000+08:00

Dunia telah lama alpa. Mereka sangkakan dengan pembasmian para pejuang Islam di sana sini semenjak beberapa tahun yang sudah ini, para mujahidin berada dalam ketakutan dan sudah tak mampu meneruskan aksi-aksi yang dianggap terrorisme. Namun masyarakat dunia terlupa bahawa di dunia ini kita mempunyai dua tokoh terroris terkemuka iaitu, Amerika Syarikat & Israel.

Beberapa kota dunia telah digegarkan dengan serangan mujahid. Bermula dengan Madrid, ke Mumbai. Kini salah sebuah kota yang bermula dengan huruf M – Moscow, juga turut merasakan kehebatan serangan umat Islam yang ditindas di Negara sendiri. Mungkinkah wilayah Massachusetts atau negeri Michigan bakal menjadi tumpuan serangan para Mujahid??? Ataupun mereka akan bertindak terus di kota Washington sebagai petanda mereka telah bersedia untuk serangan dasyat kedua setelah 9 September??? Yang penting, para pejuang Islam tidak pernah takut, malah kian bertambah, dan sepertimana yang kita lihat taktik mujahid kita telah berubah mengikut peredaran masa.

Namun masih ada yang tertanya-tanya. Adakah jihad yang dilakukan para wanita dibenarkan, lebih-lebih lagi jihad yang dilakukan secara perseorangan tanpa kehadiran mahram??? Sekiranya anda ada pendapat, ayuh lontarkannya di ruangan pendapat kita.

Ansar Al-Jihad: Presents "The Sheikh, The Mujahid, The Shaheed: Sheikh Said Abu Sa'ad (R.A)

2010-03-16T00:58:00.002+08:00

The Sheikh, The Mujahid, The Shaheed:
Sheikh Said Abu Sa'ad (may Allah have Mercy on him)
By Brother 'Abd-al Khaliq al-Muhajir H.A

I seek Allah's protection from Satan the Accursed.

In the name of Allah, the Most Kind, the Most Merciful.

All praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family, and his Companions, and upon those of mankind who follow him rightfully until the Day of Judgement.

To proceed:

Sheikh Said Abu Sa'ad has fallen as a martyr, the latest in the long line of heroic leaders of the Jihad in the Caucasus to achieve martyrdom. The Sheikh was martyred some time on March 2nd or March 3rd 2010, facing the enemies of Allah (s.w.t.), still trying to kill or inflict damage upon them right up until the moment he drew his last breath.

As always, the kuffar are boasting about their 'victory', claiming that the death of the Sheikh death will deal an irreparable blow to Jihad in the Caucasus.

But we know this is not true: the most senior foreign Mujahideen have been martyred in the past, and the Jihad has continued.

Amir Khattab was martyred in March 2002, Abu al-Walid was martyred in April 2004 and Abu Hafs al-Urdani was martyred in November 2006.

Each time the death was celebrated by the Russians as being a fatal blow for the Mujahideen, and each time the Mujahideen regrouped and continued fighting for the sake of Allah.

In fact, the brother who took over after Abu Hafs al-Urdani was martyred was Amir Muhannad (Abu Anas), and he played a very important role in the life of our brother Sheikh Said Abu Sa'ad.

For it was Amir Muhannad who decided to issue the invitation that led to Sheikh Said risking his reputation, his freedom and his life, to travel from the comfort and safety of his previous home to the perils and uncertainty that awaited him in the Caucasus.

The short and simple message from Amir Muhannad provided the final encouragement for Sheikh Said to finally make Hijra for the sake of Allah: "We are ready to receive you, and we will be glad to see you among us" it said.

What was is about this man that so inspired the Believers?

Of course there was the fact that he wasn't raised as a Muslim, and that he instead chose to accept Islam as a young man. Those who enter the faith voluntarily are often dearest to us, and in many cases throw themselves fully into the religion in a way that many people who are raised as Muslims find difficult to match, or in some cases, even to understand.

While many of us recite the Noble verses from the Qur'an, or take pleasure when we hear them recited, the Sheikh really heard the rebuke from Allah (s.w.t.) contained in Surah at-Tawbah:

"O ye who believe! what is the matter with you, that, when ye are asked to go forth in the cause of God, ye cling heavily to the earth? Do ye prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? But little is the comfort of this life, as compared with the Hereafter" (09.38)

Then there was the fact that he didn't grow up in an area where Jihad was being fought, but instead he chose to make Hijra to the lands of Jihad. Of course, he could have stayed in Russia, and lived a life of relative luxury, enjoying a modest amount of fame and fortune, had Allah willed.

While we try to reassure ourselves about our compliance with the religion of Allah (s.w.t.), and feel confident of the outcome that awaits us in the Hereafter, due to the fact that we pray five times a day, we fast during Ramadhan, we pay our zakaat, the Sheikh really listened to the stern warning from Allah (s.w.t.) which says:

"Unless ye go forth, He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place; but Him ye would not harm in the least. For Allah hath power over all things" (09.39)

Unlike so many, he really took notice of the words which he recited, and thought about their implications.

Had the Sheikh never went out in the path of Allah, the Jihad would nevertheless have continued, but Allah (s.w.t.) blessed the Sheikh with wisdom and guidance, and so he heeded the call, and rushed to join his brothers in the Caucasus.

To those who criticise the Sheikh:

There will be some who say that what happened to the Sheikh was a great 'pity', that he was such a young man, so intelligent and articulate. They will talk about the long and distinguished career he could have had in politics, or in the media. They will lament the fact that the Sheikh could have had everything this world had to offer, if only he hadn't gotten mixed up with those 'extremists'. They will claim he could have died in his sleep, a rich old man, had he just stayed back from Jihad.

Allah (s.w.t.) says to them in Surah al-Imran:

"O ye who believe! Be not as those who disbelieved and said of their brethren who went abroad in the land or were fighting in the field: If they had been (here) with us they would not have died or been killed: that Allah may make it anguish in their hearts. Allah giveth life and causeth death; and Allah is Seer of what ye do" (03.156)

Others will say that the Sheikh was too important, that he shouldn't have fought on the front lines, that he should have confined himself to a secret hiding place, and stuck to just issuing videos, calling others to Jihad. Have they forgotten that Allah (s.w.t.) says in Surah at-Tawbah:

"Those who believe in Allah and the Last Day ask thee for no exemption from fighting with their goods and persons. And Allah knoweth well those who do their duty" (09.44)

How should we respond to the Sheikh's martyrdom?

So what is the correct way to respond to the Sheikh's martyrdom? I must confess that upon hearing the news I was temporarily overwhelmed with grief. Indeed I had not felt such pain, nor such worry for the Jihad in the Caucusus, since Amir Isa and Amir Musa were martyred within three days of one another in September 2006.

But this despair quickly passed, for I soon remembered the words of Allah, in Surah al-Imran:

"So lose not heart, nor fall into despair: For ye must gain mastery if ye are true in Faith. If a wound has afflicted you, know that a wound like it has also afflicted the (unbelieving) people; and We bring these days to men by turns, and that Allah may know those who believe, and take martyrs from among you; and Allah does not love the unjust" (03.139-140)

We should not mourn the passing of the Sheikh, for Allah (s.w.t.) tells us that as a martyr he is not dead, but alive with his Lord! And when our noble brother was setting out in the path of Allah he surely knew what may lay ahead, having heard Allah's warning in Surah al-Baqarah:

"And say not of those who are slain in the way of Allah 'They are dead'. Nay, they are living, though ye perceive (it) not. Be sure we shall test you with something of fear and hunger, some loss in goods or lives or the fruits (of your toil), but give glad tidings to those who patiently persevere, Who say, when afflicted with calamity: "To Allah We belong, and to Him is our return" (02.154-156)

The Sheikh is one of the ones to whom Allah (s.w.t.) gives glad tidings:

"Those who believed and those who suffered exile and fought (and strove and struggled) in the path of Allah,- they have the hope of the Mercy of Allah. And Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful" (02.218)

Like every true Mujahid, the Sheikh sought one of the two best things (Victory or Martyrdom) promised to those who fight for the sake of Allah:

"Say: 'Can you expect for us (any fate) other than one of two glorious things?'" (09.52)

Final word:

To those who have lagged behind, and I include myself among them: now that the Sheikh has been martyred, the Ummah waits to see who rushes to take his place.

Who will give up their worldly life in search of Allah's pleasure? It may seem as though the shoes are too big for you to fill alone: they most probably are!

It may take the combined effort of five men, or even ten, to give back to the Ummah what the Sheikh's martyrdom has taken away. The Sheikh was a front-line fighter, and fearless brothers are needed to replace him in the trenches at the front-lines. The Sheikh was a scholar, and the Mujahideen are always in need of guidance and support from the Ulema. The Sheikh was a wonderful speaker, so new brothers are needed with expertise in the field of media and broadcasting.

How often we talk of going out in the path of Allah, yet another year passes and we are still stuck living among the kuffar? How long will be continue to be like those of whom Allah (s.w.t.) spoke of in Surah at-Tawbah:

"If there had been immediate gain (in sight), and the journey easy, they would (all) without doubt have followed thee, but the distance was long, (and weighed) on them. They would indeed swear by Allah, "If we only could, we should certainly have come out with you" (09.42)

Ya Allah! Send out brothers to take the Sheikh's place at the front-lines!

Ya Allah! Give some of our Ulema the courage to leave the lands of the kuffar once and for all, and join the Mujahideen in the trenches!

Ya Allah! Help the brothers in the media field to spread the messages of our brothers in the Caucusus, and around the world!

Ya Allah! Grant victory or martyrdom to those fighting for Your sake in the Caucusus, in Iraq, Afgahanistan, Somalia, Pakistan, Kashmir, the Islamic Maghreb, the Arabian Peninsula and all around the world!

Ya Allah! Allow the video messages and written words the Sheikh left behind to continue to inspire Muslims all over the world to go out in the path of Allah!

Ya Allah! Allow the video messages and written words the Sheikh left behind to continue to bring new brothers and sisters into Islam!

Ya Allah! Allow the video messages and written words the Sheikh left behind to continue to add to his good deeds!

Ya Allah! Grant the Sheikh the highest levels of Jannah, and all the rewards reserved for the martyrs!

Ya Allah! Let the Sheikh's martyrdom be like the invitation of Amir Muhannad: allow it to provide the last piece of encouragement to make us stop just talking about making Hijra, and finally actually do it!

And our final prayer is that all praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.

Dulmatin to be buried in hometown
The Jakarta Post

Dulmatin, one of Southeast Asia's most wanted terrorists who was killed in a raid in Pamulang, South Tangerang, on Tuesday, is scheduled to be buried in his hometown Pemalang in Central Java on Friday.

“Dulmatin's family will collect the body and transported it by car to Pemalang tonight for a funeral tomorrow,” Dulmatin's former Jamaah Islamiyah partner Abu Wildan said as quoted by kompas.com.

Counterterrorism squad personnel shot dead Dulmatin during a raid on an Internet café in Pamulang on Tuesday. Later in the day the squad gunned down two other terrorist suspects, who were allegedly Dulmatin’s guards.

Dulmatin was wanted for the suicide bombings that ripped through two Bali nightclubs in 2002, killing 202 people, mostly foreigners.

Perkukuhkan Iman Di Bulan Ramadhan

2009-08-20T00:09:00.000+08:00

Sepanjang tahun yang berlalu, para pejuang dan Mujahid terulung kita seperti Ibrohim, Muchlas, Amrozi & Imam Samudera pulang ke rahmat Illahi setelah dibunuh atas menegakkan agama Allah. Pejuang-pejuang yang lain seperti Mas Selamat Kastari ditahan semula di penjara para Thaghut. Orang-orang seperti Nordin Top diburu pihak berkuasa hanya kerana melindungi negara dari anasir-anasir yang darang dari Barat.

Sesungguhnya kita tak perlu takut. Sesungguhnya kita tak perlu gentar. Kita harus akui bahawa kita tinggal di bumi Thaghut. Namun tak semestinya kita juga turut sama dengan peraturan-peraturan mereka. Kita hanya berpegang pada Al-Quran, Sunnah & Hadith. Dan sempena bulan Ramadhan yang mulia ini, marilah kita gunakan bulan baraqah ini dengan memperkuatkan serta memperteguhkan iman kami. Semoga kita semua mencapai istiqomah serta kekuatan iman menempuh hari-hari mendatang. Jannah, Insya Allah, pasti menjadi milik kita di kemudian hari.

Bomb Explosions in Jakarta

2009-07-17T11:29:00.002+08:00

Alhamdulillah!!! May our mujahidin escape and strike again!!!

Fatal blasts hit Jakarta hotels

At least six people have been killed in two separate explosions at luxury hotels in the Indonesian capital Jakarta, police say.

The country's Metro TV reported that one blast hit the Ritz-Carlton and the other, the Marriott Hotel.

Television footage showed the facade of one of the hotels had been torn off by the blast.

The BBC's Karishma Vaswani, outside the Marriott, said ambulances are present and security is extremely tight.

South Jakarta police Col Firman Bundi said four people who died were foreigners, reported AP.

"There were explosions heard from two separate places, one the JW Marriott, the other in the Ritz Carlton," he said.

"We are still trying to check because right now we are still helping the victims," he said.

Myra Junor, who witnessed the blasts from a nearby building, told Reuters windows on the lower floors of the Ritz-Carlton had shattered.

Ambulances are continuing to arrive on the scene and there is a heavy police presence, says our correspondent.

The two hotels are in Jakarta's central business district.

The explosions come two weeks after presidential elections in Indonesia.

Police Detain Suspected Terrorist’s Wife and Son

2009-06-25T23:40:00.001+08:00

Arrests of Singaporeans in Indonesia again.

From thejakartaglobe.com

Police Detain Suspected Terrorist’s Wife and Son

Following the arrest of Singaporean terrorism suspect Husaini bin Ismail in Central Java over the weekend, the Densus 88 antiterror squad has also now arrested his wife and son, a police source said on Thursday.

The source declined to name the two or the date that they were arrested, but said that although they were Singaporean nationals, they had falsified documents and data to obtain Indonesian identity cards.

“Both of them entered Indonesia soon after Husaini came here,” the source, who requested not to be named, told the Jakarta Globe, adding that the two had entered the country legally using Singaporean passports.

“But then they falsified documents to get Indonesian identity cards. Husaini’s son also managed to enroll in an Indonesian high school. They were living like normal Indonesians,” the source said.

Husaini, arrested in Central Java on Sunday, was said to have come to Indonesia via Medan, North Sumatra, in January 2002, together with terror suspects Mas Selamat bin Kastari; Mohammad Hasan bin Saynudin, also known as Fajar Taslim; Ishak Sio Muhamed Noohu; and Muhammad Rasyid bin Zainal Abidin.

Husaini is wanted for his alleged involvement in a plot to hijack a plane in Bangkok and crash it into Singapore’s Changi Airport in 2001.

Separately, the National Police’s chief of detectives Comr. Gen. Susno Duadji confirmed that a woman was among the people arrested recently but added that “she is not automatically suspected of having committed terrorist acts.”

So far, the police have identified Husaini and another man, Saefuddin Zuchry, as being among the suspected terrorists recently arrested at various locations in Java.

Sources in the police have also said that they arrested a man identified as Somad or Syamsul, who is believed to be a younger brother of Husaini. Somad was arrested in Lampung, South Sumatra, on Monday.

Also arrested on the same day as Somad was a man identified as Amat Kastari, the sources said. It remained unclear whether Amat was related to Mas Selamat bin Kastari.

“Including Husaini’s wife and son, six suspects have now been arrested,” the sources said, declining to give further details on the case.

Neraka Di Narathiwat

2009-06-15T23:35:00.000+08:00

Narathiwat, sebuah kota di Selatan Thailand, di mana penduduknya kebanyakan adalah orang Islam, menjadi mangsa pasukan tentera Thailand yang sejauh ini berdolak-dalik akan keadaan di sana. Baru-baru ini telah terbukti bahawa tentera Thailand tergolong di antara tentera yang paling zalim, seangkatan dengan tentera AS & Israel. Mereka sanggup mengebom sebuah masjid di sana, lantas membunuh 10 orang.

Saudara-saudara kami di sana secara semulajadi telah bangkit dan membalas dendam. Dan diharapkan ramai lagi akan mengikut jejak langkah mereka. Para ummah amat berbangga dan berterima kasih kepada saudara-saudara yang sanggup bermujahid di sana ataupun yang telah bersiap sedia di sana.

“Wahai Nabi, peransangkanlah orang-orang yang beriman itu untuk berperang. Jika ada di antara kamu dua puluh yang sabar, nescaya mereka dapat menewaskan dua ratus orang (dari pihak musuh yang kafir itu); dan jika ada di antara kamu seratus orang, nescaya mereka dapat menewaskan seribu orang dari golongan yang kafir, disebabkan mereka (yang kafir itu) orang-orang yang tidak mengerti.”

Lindungilah Para Mujahid Kami

2009-05-09T15:55:00.001+08:00

“Hai orang-orang yang beriman, janganlah kamu mengambil orang-orang Yahudi dan Nasrani menjadi pemimpin-pemimpinmu; sebahagian mereka adalah pemimpin bagi sebahagian yang lain. Barang siapa di antara kamu mengambil mereka menjadi pemimpin, maka sesungguhnya orang itu termasuk golongan mereka. Sesungguhnya Allah tidak memberi petunjuk kepada orang-orang yang lalim.”
Al Maaidah: 51

Berita penangkapan Mas Selamat Bin Kastari di Malaysia amat memeranjatkan serta menjadi tamparan hebat buat para mujahidin. Kemungkinan seseorang yang rapat dengannya, yang beliau percayakan sangat-sangat, mengkhianati dan memberitahu pihak polis Malaysia agar mendapat hadiah lumayan berupa wang berjuta dolar dari pemerintah Singapura, yang telah menyediakan hadiah itu sekiranya saudara kami itu ditangkap. Semoga Allah (SWT) menghukum orang itu di atas pengkhianatannya dan semoga Allah (SWT) melindungi saudara kami, Mas Selamat serta memberinya kekuatan agar tidak meluahkan rahsia saudara-saudara lain yang telah membantunya ketika lolos dari tahanan dulu.

Mas Selamat JI leader nabbed in Skudai
The Star

KUALA LUMPUR: Fugitive Mas Selamat Kastari, one of the region’s most wanted terrorists, was nabbed while he was sound asleep in a secluded kampung house in Skudai, Johor.

The Singaporean terrorist who captured world attention when he escaped from the republic’s maximum security Whitley Detention Centre in February last year, could barely put up a fight in his shorts and T-shirt when caught during a dawn raid in April.

Described as highly dangerous, the 48-year-old Mas Selamat who was trained in firearms and explosives, was said to be masterminding “unrest” in several countries in the region.

The Jemaah Islamiah (JI) leader of the Singapore chapter, who had a S$1mil (RM2.4mil) bounty on his head, had been living the life of a simple villager without arousing the suspicions of villagers there.

(The radical JI movement with key figures such as religious scholar Abu Bakar Basyir and Hambali was linked to Al-Qaeda led by Osama bin Laden. While Abu Bakar, who was jailed and then freed had denied any involvement in terrorist activities, Hambali is still being detained at the infamous Guatanamo Bay. The movement, which aimed to set up a Pan Islamic state comprising Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Thailand and the Philippines, was said to have carried out several bombings in Jakarta, Bali and Manila).

Regional intelligence sources said Mas Selamat, who escaped the maximum security detention centre by climbing out through the toilet window, fled to the northern part of Singapore before swimming across to Johor.

Mas Selamat managed the feat despite having leg injuries.

His escape greatly embarrassed the Singapore Government which then launched a massive manhunt, described as the largest ever in the republic, for him.

Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein and Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan confirmed Mas Selamat’s arrest and detention under the ISA.

“He was planning something and that led to our arresting him,’’ Hishammuddin told a press conference.

He said Malaysian police were working with Singaporean and Indonesian authorities on the investigations, and declined to say when exactly the fugitive was nabbed.

“There are certain things of national interest that do not just involve Malaysian intelligence but can affect our work with the other two countries like in this case and with Germany, the United States and Britain in the case of Al-Qaeda,’’ Hishammuddin said.

Musa said the arrest was made possible as police in Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia had been sharing intelligence reports over the past year.

“We have been in contact with our international counterparts who were informed about the arrest as well as what we have gathered from Mas Selamat since his arrest last month.

“Our officers are still investigating his activities and networking,” he added.

It is learnt that Special Branch officers had been working on various leads since March and upon confirming his whereabouts planned the dawn raid that resulted in his arrest.

Mas Selamat who was arrested in 2006 in Bintan, Indonesia, was accused of wanting to crash a plane into Changi International Airport’s control tower using either an American, British or Singapore Airlines aeroplane.

He was deported to Singapore where he managed to escape.

Pilihanraya Dituntut Islam Atau Ciptaan Manusia?

2009-04-02T02:25:00.000+08:00

Semenjak kebelakangan ini hangat diperkatakan tentang proses pemilihan pucuk kepimpinan tidak kira di Malaysia mahupun Indonesia. Malaysia baru saja mengharungi proses pemilihan kepimpinan menerusi parti UMNO dan bakal melihat 3 pilihanraya kecil tidak lama lagi. Indonesia pula bakal mengadakan pilihanraya mereka tersendiri pada 9 April 2009.

Pucuk pangkalnya adakah pilihanraya sebegini dituntut Islam dan termaktub di dalam Al-Quran? Bukankah ia haram kerana memperagung-agungkan demokrasi, ideologi buatan manusia sendiri dan memperimamkan kepercayaan majoriti dan bukan undang-undang yang telah diberi Syariah dan tertulis dalam kitab suci?

Kedua-dua negara ini mengaku mereka negara Islam namun caranya tidak ubah seperti taghut yang gilakan kuasa. Fikirkan ya ummah. Lihat saja betapa hebatnya politik bisa memecah belahkan ummat hanya kerana mahukan kuasa, status, possesi dan kekayaan dunia.

Harvest of the Good

2009-03-22T02:22:00.002+08:00

Jihad Media Battalion: English transcript of the audio speech by Sheikh Abu Umar al-Baghdadi entitled "Good Harvest" (from www.theunjustmedia.com)

All praise be to Allah. We thank Him, we seek His guidance and forgiveness. We seek His refuge from the evils of our souls, and the evil results of our deeds.

Whosoever Allah guides, there is none to lead him astray, and whosoever is led astray by Allah, there is none to guide him.

I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah, alone, without partner, and that Muhammad is His slave and messenger.

To proceed:

Allah Subhanahu Wa Taala said in the Holy Quran: [Their multitude will be put to flight, and they will show their backs.] (54:45).

The governor of Washington (USA president) has declared a plan of gradual withdrawal from our lands, thus we have stances about this declaration.

First stance: After the American people admitted that their army was defeated in Iraq, and their military and economic losses were enormous, they voted in an unexpected way for a black man and they accepted that the slave of the House to be the master of the House (White House), this happened because this slave promised them that he will bring back to them their missing sons and properties, and will realize their hopes and dreams. And this is the new master's turn to avow the failure and defeat even if implicitly, he tickles his ancient masters / new slaves of the word "withdrawal" and honorable return of the greatest army in the history according to his saying.

Second stance: What the governor of the occupation country has declared is nothing but a wily way for the colonization in a new dress, hoping that the silly and naive ones accept that our land be under the occupation and our dignity be insulted for three coming years under the pre**** of graduation in withdrawal. So after the end of this period of time, the lying fox will find another new pre**** for other new three years, etc…, and like this the criminal will ensure long duration with less casualties and diminution in costs materially, militarily and morally, especially that there are no guaranties for the crusader occupier's promises.

Third stance: He (US president) continued in the lying series launched by his criminal ancestor (ex president) claiming that his army achieved an extreme success and it (army) remained in Iraq the last period and will remain for the next period in order to keep security of the Iraqis.
And I say to this man: With whom are you speaking O new criminal? And which success and security are you talking about? You have excavated deep wound in feelings in each house in Iraq whether by losing dear one or capturing friend or making homeless kinfolk. There are four millions of Iraqis who were dislodged, hundreds of thousands who were killed, tens of thousands who were captured and the bitterest thing is our honors which you have profaned with villainy before the whole world. This is success and that is security!

Fourth stance: The liar talked about heroism of his army in Mesopotamia and gave as example a dead soldier whose body was ruptured and became remnants after firing (as he claimed) a lion from martyrs battalions' knights while breaking into a headquarters, in order to protect fifty others being there.
I say to you O man: Do you know what is strange? It is a lion riding death's boat, hurrying in steps among throng, maneuvering as knights' maneuver, singing the bridegrooms' songs, not being confused by the enemy's shots nor diverted from his target by the occupier's fortifications. He came alone to destroy a well-fortified bastion in which there were hundreds of his enemy's soldiers, he changed in a short while their security and calm to fright and fear leaving behind him wounds in bodies and teardrops in eyes under title of "No sleep for the cowards' eyes", the eternity is for Islam O villainous. If you (lying president) praised your soldier in the earth, know that Allah built for the martyr a palace in the sky with silver adobe and gold adobe, he is enjoying in paradise while your dog soldier being tormented in the hell-fire, and the history will witness that the knights of martyrdom constructed the building of glory and raised high the flag of Islam. They didn't accept the path of servility nor cried out in grief like women, their names and memoirs will remain excavated in our hearts, people in earth will praise them and in sky will make "Doua'a" for them and in front of Allah the enemies will be assembled (in the Day of Judgment).

Fifth and most important stance is his saying that their duration in Iraq is for a sovereign state to be founded, and they will support the Iraqi government for which they will develop and strengthen the forces before withdrawal.

Firstly: Which government and sovereignty are you talking about?

Our wounds are still bleeding O governor of the Cross' state and Jews' ally, the butcher of the sunnite children "Baker Solagh" still belongs to this government, on the other hand the criminal leader of the Magus and Rafedi (shiite) "Da'awa Party" at the head of it, and the "Bader Corps" with all its criminal institutions and organizations at the two wings of this government as well as the Kurdish hireling agents and butchers in the ASAICH. For those you want to strengthen the state and fasten their basis, for them the elections in Baghdad were falsified (even though we believe in infidelity of this operation at all), so the Rafedites (shiites) won at the rate of 80% of the seats in the municipal council and didn't allow the Sunnites to be more than doorkeepers and cleaners in favor of the Magus Rafedites (shiites), and this will not happen by the aid of Allah.

Secondly: The history proved that the nation of Islam is very keen and discerning, hence when the infidel crusader Russian enemy fled from Afghanistan, he empowered a hireling agent government under the leadership of "Najibu-LLah" who made believe that he was attached to religion, despite this, the Afghan Muslims stood against him until they hanged him in the midst of Kabul. Also the hireling agent government of the "Brothers Party" under the leadership of "Sayyaf" and "Rabbani" when they came over the American tanks, the Mujahideen were not deceived by them but they stood against them until the enemy himself threw them in the history's dustbin. In Iraq we are by the grace of Allah free Arabs and brave Muslims for whom the history witnessed fierce attacks against the enemy, and the present time proved our power and sincerity of our men. The people of Iraq (by the grace of Allah) are not less than their Afghan brothers in sagacity, and they are careful of their religion like their brothers and more.

Thirdly: Allah Who ordered us to fight the infidel occupier is Whom Who ordered us the fight the occupier's hireling agents, but He Subhanahu Wa Taala incited us to fight our infidel relatives more than our distant enemy, He Subhanahu Wa Taala said in the Holy Quran: [O you who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you, and let them find harshness in you; and know that Allâh is with those who are the Al-Muttaqûn (the pious - see V.2:2).] (9:123).

Abu Jaafar Al-Tabari explained this verse and said: (Allah Soubhanahu Wa Taala addressed the believers who believed in Him and His messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) as if He says: O you who had been true to Allah, fight the closest infidel first. He said to them: start fighting the infidels "closest then closest" etc…before fighting the more distant).

Iben Katheer (may the mercy of Allah be upon his soul) said about this verse: (this is why the messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) started by fighting the polytheist in the Arab Peninsula.

So how if this infidel is governing our lands? And how if he is a hireling agent and villainous follower of our enemy? The matter of Sharia'a (Islamic law) and governance is the axis of our Jihad and should not be away from our men's minds.
And we repeat once again that we are not fighting for the land but for the word of Allah to be the Highest in the earth.

At the end and after the Karama (dignity) plan had achieved its goals (by the grace of Allah) by foiling the fierce attack at the Jihad and Mujahideen in military, social, economic and media sides. Then after this plan's victories were crowned by the declaration of the Washington's black man about tabulation of withdrawal, implied avowal of defeat, and change of style of work in Mesopotamia, therefore, we declare the end of al-Karam (dignity) plan and the beginning of a new plan for which the goals and axis of work were put with precision because of proportionality of the current period with the coming period in circumstances and events, and we named it:

Harvest of the Good

All the people (friend or enemy) will realize the influence of this plan in the coming period (by the help of Allah), and we ask Allah to grant us help, success, patience and firmness. This new stage is very serious and it is necessary that the Sunnite people stand truthfully against the Magus-Crusader alliance for Baghdad not to be sold cheaply to the Magus of Iran and their agents. Now they started coming to Baghdad as if they were conquerors while really they entered it (Baghdad) as slaves in chains. We lend a helping and pardoning hand to every Muslim inside Mesopotamia or outside even if he acted badly before, we hope that all people realize the danger of the new reality in Iraq and the whole world, in addition of complicated alliances and wove cunning against Islam and its people, we hope to let behind all problems of the past, and we have only one condition which is: to be a Muslim seeking for the ruling of the Sharia'a (Islamic law) of Allah and the consolidation of His religion on the method of Sunna and Jama'a (Sunnite).

In conclusion I say to Muslims everywhere who keep looking at the fierce attack at the Islamic State in Mesopotamia on both military and media side:

Don't fear for the Jihad in Iraq and feel at ease, for the wave's intensity was broken. A building which is constructed from the martyrs' craniums and its soil is mixed with bloods of the generous ones is a building of truth which is solid more than mountains and out of reach more than stars. Far be it from Allah the Most Generous the Most Gracious the Most Merciful to waste their sacrifices in vain, and the flag is raised by lions (brave successor Mujahideen) who are severe against their enemy and merciful among themselves.

And Allah has full power and control over His Affairs, but most of men know not.

Your brother Abu Omar Al-Quraishi Al-Baghdadi

Support Jihad

This has been raised countless times, because we need to be reminded countless times, because the mujahidin needs our help countless times. More here.

Anwar al Awlaki: 44 ways of supporting Jihad

"Jihad is the greatest deed in Islam and the salvation of the ummah is in practicing it. In times like these, when Muslim lands are occupied by thekuffar, when the jailsof tyrants are full ofMuslim POWs, whenthe rule of the law ofAllah is absent from this world and when Islam is being attacked in order to uproot it, Jihad becomes obligatory on every Muslim. Jihad must be practiced by the child even if the parents refuse, by the wife even if the husband objects and by the one indebt even if the lender disagrees."

"Rasulullah (saaws) says:
"Whoever sponsors a fighter in the cause of Allah has fought"
(Majma' al Zawa'id)

This includes all the expenses of the mujahid including his travel expenses. This gives a chance for the rich and the poor to receive the rewards of Jihad, the poor by fighting and the rich by sponsoring them."

"Taking care of the family of the mujahid could be by protecting them, tending to their needs, providing them with financial assistance and protecting their honor.

The Messenger of Allah (saaws) says:
Anyone of you who takes care of the family and wealth of a mujahid will receive half the reward of the mujahid (Muslim) The duty towards protecting the honor of the wives of the Mujahideen on the ones who stay behind is like their duty towards protecting the honor of their mothers. If a person who stays behind promises to take care of the wife of a mujahid but then betrays him, on the Day of Judgment the mujahid will be told that this man betrayed you so take whatever you want from his good deeds. So he will take whatever he likes. (Muslim) Whoever does not fight, sponsor a fighter, or take care of the family of a fighter, will be afflicted with a disaster before he dies. (Abu Dawud)'

We call on our brothers not to spread the numbers that are adopted by the hireling news channels, and which are taken from the dud American Ministry of defense. The repetition of spreading these numbers gives them credibility.

How then after appearance of their lies and delusion in everything.. Shall we believe them in this point for which they make every effort to consolidate these numbers? the believing is done by re- publishing and adoption of these numbers.

Shall we believe them and deny the statements and publications of the Mujahideen!!

Make doa for our brothers

May they be free soon and be strong until that moment.

Two face terror charge
By WONG CHUN WAI and LOURDES CHARLES

KUALA LUMPUR: Two men being detained at Guantanamo Bay are likely to become the first Malaysians to be charged with terrorist activities in a US court.

Mohd Farik Amin @ Zaid @ Zubair, 34, and Mohammed Nazir Lep @ Bashir Lep @ Lillie, 33, who have been regarded as “dangerous” by the international intelligence agencies, could also be relocated to other federal detention centres.

However, it is understood that there could be a third option — they could be deported here on the Malaysian Government’s request.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan said he was informed by the US authorities during an informal meeting recently that the two would likely be charged in a civil court.

“We are waiting for further details from the US,” he said.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi was reported as saying in Dubai that Malaysia would seek permission from the US government to allow Malaysian policemen to meet with the two detainees and then have them imprisoned in Malaysia.

The status of the 250 detainees at Guantanamo remains unclear following the order by President Barack Obama to shut down the centre within a year. The former naval camp located in Cuba was turned into a detention centre after the Sept 11 attacks in New York.

Mohd Farik and Mohammed Nazir are members of the outlawed radical Jemaah Islamiah, which wanted to set up a pan-Islamic region spanning Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and Brunei through violent means.

Both men, who had received arms training in Afghanistan, were arrested in 2003 in Bangkok in a special joint operation involving the Thai national police and the US Central Intelligence Agency.

Their arrests led to the capture of Hambali, a key man for Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaeda network in South-East Asia.

Hambali’s wife, Noralwiza Lee Abdullah, 39, a Malaysian from Sabah, was also detained under the Internal Security Act in 2003 but was released in 2007.

It is understood that she was allowed to exchange correspondence with her husband with the assistance of the International Red Cross Society.

Both Mohd Farik and Mohammed Nazir have been listed among 14 key terror suspects by the United States, and are being held in Camp Delta in Guantanamo Bay.

All three (Hambali, Mohd Farik and Mohammed Nazir) were implicated in the nightclub bombings in Bali in 2002, in which 202 people were killed, and also the 2003 bomb attack at the JW Marriott Hotel in Jakarta, which killed 12 people.

Sources said the Malaysians have also been implicated in a planned al-Qaeda plot to crash a hijacked plane into the 73-storey Library Tower/US Bank Tower in Los Angeles.

“No date was given for the mission but the plot, named Project California, would have been the biggest since the Sept 11, 2001 attacks in New York,” an official said.

Sources said Mohd Farik and Mohammed Nazir had accompanied three Malaysians — now under detention in Kamunting under the Internal Security Act – to pledge their allegiance to Osama.

“The other three Malaysians, fired up by Osama’s sermons, met Khaled Sheikh Mohamed, a top al-Qaeda leader now also imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay, to plan their plot.

Khaled is described by the United States as “one of history’s most infamous terrorists” and is regarded as the suspected mastermind behind the Sept 11 attacks. “Project California was supposed to be the second wave of attacks by the al-Qaeda, but it failed when intelligence forces got wind of it. Two of the Malaysians were arrested when they returned to Malaysia in 2002,” the sources revealed.

S’porean to face terror charges in Indonesia
By WAHYUDI SOERIAATMADJA

JAKARTA: In a setback for Singaporean terrorist suspect Mohammad Hassan Saynudin, an Indonesian court decided Thursday to proceed with his trial under terrorism charges.

Hassan, better known as Fajar Taslim in Indonesia, and his two Indonesian accomplices had applied through their lawyers to be charged under the less harsh criminal code for alleged acts that range from planning bombings to murdering a Christian.

Although the request was turned down, lawyers for the defendants may continue to press -- as the trial proceeds -- that their offences were more criminal in nature rather than terrorism-related, presiding judge Haswandi told a courtroom.

The three men face charges under a harsh anti-terrorism law, which can lead to the death penalty if they are convicted.

But if tried under the criminal code, the severest punishment they face is a maximum jail sentence of 15 years.

“They didn’t create an atmosphere of massive fear in the country,” the trio’s lawyer Asludin Hatjadi told The Straits Times Thursday after the court’s decision. “We will prove this in court.”

The three were among 10 men nabbed in a security sweep in South Sumatra last year. The other seven also face charges of abetting and committing terrorism.

The date of the next court hearing for Fajar Taslim has been set for Feb 5, when a three-judge panel will hear testimonies from witnesses brought in at the request of the prosecutors.

The court will also give equal rights to the defendant’s lawyers when they bring in their witnesses.

Fajar Taslim, 35, is a senior member of the Singapore branch of the regional terror network Jemaah Islamiah.

He and the two Indonesians -- Ali Masyhudi, 26, and Wahyudi, 35 -- have been charged with killing a Christian school teacher, attempting to murder a Christian priest as well as planning to murder two more Christian priests.

Thailand Must Prosecute Soldiers Who Killed Imam

Thailand Must Prosecute Soldiers Who Killed Imam

By D.Arul Rajoo

BANGKOK, Jan 8 (Bernama) -- Prosecuting the soldiers who killed an imam in army detention in the restive south will be a test of the administration of new Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, who has vowed to bring justice to Thailand's conflict-ridden southern border provinces, the Human Rights Watch (HRW) said.

Brad Adams, HRW's Asia director, said that on Dec 25 last year the Narathiwat court ruled after an inquest that Imam Yapa Kaseng, a 56-year-old Muslim religious leader, was tortured and killed by soldiers while being interrogated on March 20-21 at the army's 39th Taskforce camp in Rue Soh district, Narathiwat province.

He said that Abhisit, in a policy statement delivered on Dec 30, stressed that justice would be integral to resolution of the conflict in the southern border provinces, which has claimed more than 3,500 lives since January 2004 when suspected separatists resumed their campaign to seek indepedence for the Muslim-majority provinces of Narathiwat, Pattani and Yala.

"The court gave a brave and unprecedented verdict in the inquest, putting its finger on torture and other abuses committed by Thai security forces. This is not an isolated case of rogue soldiers, but part of a broad pattern," he said in a report released by the new York-based group today.

Adams said it was Abhisit's turn to show political courage and ensure the prosecution of the soldiers and officers who had ordered and carried out the killing.

The inquest determined that the cause of Imam Yapa's death was blunt-force trauma, including rib fractures from the front, side, and back that punctured his lungs while bruises and wounds were found all over his body, including his eyes, forehead, and lips.

HRW said the torture and killing of Imam Yapa highlighted the broader problem of ill-treatment of Muslims in army custody during operations against separatist insurgents in the south.

Although every soldier in the southern border provinces carries a code-of-conduct booklet produced by the Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC), many former detainees interviewed by HRW said that they were tortured by interrogators, including soldiers in uniform and in plain clothes, at district-level camps and at the army's main interrogation centre at Ingkayuthboriharn Camp in Pattani province.

Human rights abuses have regularly occurred during the government's counter-insurgency operations since Thaksin Shinawatra, the then prime minister, ordered the army to use heavy-handed tactics to address attacks on army camps in 2004. Abuses escalated after the army star ted its "Operation Southern Defender" (Yuttakarn Pitak Daen Tai) in 2007.

Adams said that as a priority, the new government, which came to power last month, needed to overhaul the counter-insurgency strategy that encouraged abuses, impose effective civilian control over the army, and provide efficient redress for victims of abuses.

"By relying on repressive measures and restrictions on fundamental human rights, the Thai authorities have created a fertile ground for the insurgency to expand. The daily situation in the south is a tragic replay of abuses and violence committed by both sides...the lives and rights of people are constantly at risk in this devastating conflict," he said.

Salam Ma’al Hijrah 1430H

2008-12-30T23:50:00.000+08:00

Penghijrahan telah berlaku dalam sejarah Islam selama 1430 tahun. Penghijrahan minda, ilmu dan perlakuan sentiasa berlaku di mana sahaja. Adakah kita masih bahagia dan alpa dengan apa yang kita ada??? Adakah kita masih gembira dengan apa yang berlaku di sekeliling kita, sedangkan saudara-saudara Islam di merata dunia masih kehausan, kelaparan, disiksa, dihina oleh syaithan-syaithan laknat yang bernama Amerika Syarikat & Israel???

Lihat saja apa yang sedang berlaku di Gaza sekarang ini. Inilah petanda sekeras-kerasnya bahawa tiada rasa hormat langsung terhadap orang Islam di muka bumi ini. Tanah Islam dibom dan orang-orang yang tidak berdosa mati di tangan kafir laknat Yahudi. Bangunlah umatku sempena Ma’al Hijrah ini dan semoga kita semua bersatu padu membasmi Yahudi laknat ini dari muka bumi kita!!!

Yazid 'no longer a security threat'

2008-12-12T01:08:00.000+08:00

New Straits Times
2008/12/11

KUALA LUMPUR: Suspected Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) terrorist Yazid Sufaat, allegedly linked to the Sept 11, 2001 attacks in the United States, has been released from detention under the Internal Security Act (ISA). Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar said Yazid, 43, was among six ISA detainees released.

The others were two Thais from Kumpulan Pemisah Thai, Muhammad Faizal and Anbalavan, Abdul Rahman and Muhamad Tarmizi, who aided foreign intelligence agencies, and Murad Sudin, who was linked to JI.

Except for Yazid, who was freed last month, the rest were released on Dec 4.

Syed Hamid was speaking to reporters after the Singapore Straits Times had reported that the government had recently released more than a dozen extremists linked to JI.

He said the six were released as they were no longer considered a threat to national security.

"They should be released as they are no longer a threat and will no longer pose a threat to public order or the security of the nation," he said at the Parliament lobby yesterday.

Yazid emerged as a key figure in JI's regional network because of his links to Zacarias Moussaoui, a French citizen of Moroccan descent who was convicted of conspiracy in the Sept 11 attacks.

Yazid hosted Moussaoui during his visit to Malaysia in September and October 2000.

Eight months earlier, he allowed Khalid al-Midhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi, the two hijackers of the American Airlines aircraft that crashed into the Pentagon, to use his apartment.

Syed Hamid said Yazid was not detained because of any role in the Sept 11 attacks but for his involvement in JI.

"He was considered a threat because JI was trying to establish an Islamic government in the region. But now, he has been rehabilitated and can return to society."

Syed Hamid said with the release, there were 46 people still detained under the ISA -- 16 for links to JI, 13 linked to militant group Darul Islam Sabah, 10 for falsifying documents, the five Hindraf leaders and two who worked with foreign intelligence agencies.

"We free ISA detainees from time to time when we find that they are no longer a threat to national security. The government will not detain anyone longer than they deserve.

"Usually, people are detained for two years under the ISA but it depends on the recommendations of the detention centre's advisory board."

Berkorban Demi Islam

2008-12-08T01:44:00.000+08:00

Eiduladha tiba lagi. Syukur Alhamdulillah kita dipanjangkan usia untuk menyambutnya sekali lagi. Namun kesyukuran kita sepanjang tahun ini disajikan dengan kematian para Mujahid terpidana Bom Bali dan juga 9 orang Mujahid di Mumbai baru2 ini. Tanpa menghiraukan apa akan terjadi pada diri mereka, mereka telah berkorban nyawa demi menegakkan kalimah Allah di bumi ini. Syahid mereka diharapkan tidak sia2 dan semoga roh2 mereka bisa menikmati keindahan alam syurga yang dijanjikan untuk para syuhada. Sekiranya mereka ini mampu dan bisa berkorban nyawa, mampukah kita hanya duduk dan menghabiskan sisa2 hidup kita dengan hanya duduk berzikir dan membaca Al-Qur’an sahaja??? Ayuh umatku bangun dari kealpaanmu dan marilah kita berkorban demi mendapat syafaat dari Yang Maha Esa…

Kewibawaan Mujahidin Di Mumbai

2008-12-02T23:22:00.002+08:00

Minggu lalu, dunia telah menjadi saksi betapa hebatnya 10 orang mujahidin melancarkan serangan ke atas thoghut & kafir laknat di Mumbai. Tanpa menghiraukan ancaman pada diri mereka sendiri, mereka terus menembak dan membedil sesiapa saja yang cuba menghalang mereka. Ini sudah tentu perlakuan yang paling disanjungi para mujahidin sekelian, menebus kematian orang2 Muslim yang tidak berdosa di India selama ini. Sesungguhnya Islam telah banyak ditindas di bumi India dan telah tiba masanya sesebuah pihak bangun untuk membalas dendam bagi umat Islam yang mati selama ini. Semoga kita mengambil iktibar dari kejadian ini dan jadikan ia sebagai pemangkin untuk kita pula bangun dan berjuang. Allahu Akbar!!!

Semangat & Perjuangan Mereka Menjadi Pemangkin Bagi Para Mujahid

2008-11-19T00:08:00.002+08:00

Sudah seminggu lebih para mujahid terulung kita mencapai syuhada yang diimpi-impikan. Walaupun mereka tewas di tangan thoghut polisi Indonesia, namun mereka mencapai kemenangan di mana bukan sahaja mereka syahid, malah pembunuhan kejam mereka bakal ditebus oleh sang mujahid lain yang sudah sedia menunggu saat untuk menuntut bela dan mencapai keadilan. Ya, dunia Islam sudah sabar terlalu lama dan kesabaran ini diuji sekali lagi dengan eksekusi kejam terhadap terpidana Bali.

Lihat saja foto-foto jasad mereka yang sedang senyum dan kelihatan tenang di Infojihad. Bukankah itu tandanya mereka telah dijanjikan Jannah saat nyawa mereka dicabut? Tidakkah itu petanda yang cukup untuk kita meneruskan perjuangan mereka? Bukan itu saja, jelas kelihatan kalimah Allah di atas langit rumah keluarga Syuhada Amrozi & Mukhlas di dalam foto milik Ghur4ba. Kalau petanda-petanda ini masih tidak cukup untuk meyakini kamu semua tentang perjuangan mereka, maka rugilah kamu di kemudian hari.

Mereka tidak akan sedar bila para Mujahid akan menyerang dan menuntut bela karena serangan kami akan tiba pabila mereka sedang terlena atau hanyut dibuai kelekaan… Lihat saja pernyataan ketiga syahid kita di Al-Ghuroba. Pesanan mereka Insya-Allah akan dilaksanakan karena TIDAK ADA SETETES PUN DARAH MUSLIM YANG GRATIS!!!

Narrated Abu Huraira:

I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "The example of a Mujahid in Allah's Cause-- and Allah knows better who really strives in His Cause----is like a person who fasts and prays continuously. Allah guarantees that He will admit the Mujahid in His Cause into Paradise if he is killed, otherwise He will return him to his home safely with rewards and war booty."

Amaran Bagi Amerika Syarikat & Pemerintah Taghut Baru Pakistan

2008-09-24T11:10:00.001+08:00

Penukaran pemerintah antara Musharraf dan Zardari ibarat menukar pakaian yang bercorak sama yang telah kotor ke pakaian yang telah dicuci. Tiada perbezaan di antara kedua-dua regim ini kerana pendekatan mereka sama saja. Kedua-duanya menganggap Amerika laknat ini sebagai Tuan yang mesti dihormati, mesti ditabik dan setiap pejuang-pejuang Islam sebagai terroris.

Nah… "Hadiah" di bulan Ramadhan di Islamabad tempoh hari diharapkan dapat memberi amaran kepada Zardari agar jangan mengulangi kesilapan Musharraf dan tunduk kepada syaithan Amerika. Semoga mereka dengan cepat mengetahui peranan mereka serta misi mereka sebagai orang-orang yang bergelar Muslim di bumi Allah ini.

Ramadhan Message from the Mujahideen Command in Chechnya

2008-09-21T01:01:00.002+08:00

From IslamicAwakening

O Muslims of the World -
Don't Forget Our Rights Upon You During the Last Ten Nights of Ramadan
O Muslims, Oh people of the Taraweeh and Qiyaam-ul-layl prayers,
O Imams of Makkah, Madinah, and all the other houses of Allah...

If a Muslim has the right upon his fellow Muslim that he supplicates for him in his absence, then we have a huge right upon all of you. For we surely feel and see the effects of your supplications for us, in every step we take, in every operation we execute, and in every battle we wage against the Russians.

And we strongly plea with you and urge that you continue to pray to Allah during these last ten nights of Ramadan, asking Him, begging Him to grant us perseverance, determination and victory.

Our conditions are presently extremely severe, the temperatures are so bitterly low, that we sometimes feel the cold is crushing our bones. And although the enemy is broken, it is still a stubborn beast, gasping for its last breath, but continuing to throw its weight and might around, killing and destroying everything and everyone standing in its path.

Our arms are nothing when compared to theirs and our money is but a tiny fraction of the material wealth they possess.

But, our belief in the Divine Help of Allah, and our dependence upon Him is greater than either of these. And coupled with this belief, is the strength of your supplications, prayers and your never-ending support.

Insha-Allah we will not give in, and we will persevere until Allah Grants us victory.

We supplicate for all of you and for everyone else who gives anything in the Path of Allah - we ask Allah to accept him/her as a Mujahid. So similarly, we ask you not to forget us in your prayers. Raise your hands up high, and charge towards your Lord with a sincere supplication, asking Him to bestow victory upon us, and all the other Mujahideen fighting in His Path across the world.

Syukur ke hadrat Illahi bahawa kita dikurniakan umur yang panjang agar diketemukan dengan bulan yang penuh dengan baroqah ini. Inilah masanya kita mempertingkatkan diri demi mengejar impian kita sebagai ahli syurga. Solat yang dipertanggungjawabkan ke atas kita akan dipercantikkan lagi dengan amalan-amalan tambahan seperti membaca Al-Quran, berzikir, berqiyamullail dan bersedekah.

Namun semua ini tidak berguna sekiranya kita tidak meneruskan perjuangan kita sebagai mujahid sejati selepas Ramadhan berakhir. Semoga Ramadhan ini akan memberi keinsafan dan kekuatan dalam diri kita untuk terus menegakkan panji Islam di mata dunia.

Ramadhan Mubarak!!!

S$1 Million Reward For Fugitive Mas Selamat
By Zakaria Abdul Wahab
Bernama

SINGAPORE, July 21 (Bernama) - Singapore has offered a cash reward of $1 million (RM2.4 million) for information leading to the arrest of terrorist group Jemaah Islamiah alleged leader Mas Selamat bin Kastari who escaped from a prison in the city-state in February.

Singapore's Deputy Prime Minister and Home Affairs Minister Wong Kan Seng said Monday the monetary reward was not from the government but two private individuals who wanted to remain anonymous.

He told Parliament that the duo had approached his Ministry and offered to put up a cash reward of $1 million for information leading to the capture of Singapore-born Mas Selamat inside or outside the island republic.

Wong was replying to questions by Members of Parliament on whether the Singapore government had received and verified any information that the fugitive was now in Indonesia.

Mas Selamat, 47, who was detained on suspicion of being the mastermind behind a plan to hijack a plane and crash it on the Changi airport, escaped from the prison on Feb. 27.

Wong said up till now the Singapore security agencies had not received any information from their Indonesian counterparts to confirm that Mas Selamat was presently hiding in Indonesia.

"Neither do we have domestic intelligence that shows that he has left the country," he added.

However, the Minister said the government could not dismiss the possibility that Mas Selamat could have managed to escape Singapore for another country.

"Singapore is not a fortress," Wong said, adding that as an island, its borders were porous.

He said Singapore would do its utmost to find Mas Selamat whatever it took, and if the fugitive had escaped abroad it would work with the relevant foreign counterparts to track him down and bring him back into custody in Singapore.

Ummah of Islam,

When we declared the establishement of the Islamic State, and that it is a state for migration and Jihad, we were not lying to Allah then to people, and we were not talking about jumbled dreams, but we are, by the Grace of Allah, the best who can understand the Sunnah of Allah in this Jihad. This understanding is based on the bloods of the Mujahideen, from the migrants and supporters, after their morality and creed.

When we declared the establishement of the State of Islam, we were not only trying to pick the fruit after its ripeness, but indeed the fruit has fallen freely and so we picked it before it would fall into the mud, and it became in our hands safe and clean.

So what happened after the collapse of the Soveit Union and the scattering of the Islamic nations away from the communist center? It fell as a prey for communism and secularism.

And what happened after the Mujahideen, from migrants and supporters, approached the capital of Serbia in the Bosnia's war? Simply, the so-called Peace Dayton accords happend.

And what happened after the falling of the fruit in Afghanistan and the defeat of the enemy on the days of Al-Ahzab? It is killing, destruction, ravaging, and it is still a disgrace in the forehead of everyone who participated in it.

Ummah of Islam.. we have decided not to repeat this disaster, and that the fruit would not be lost, as the true believer cannot be harmed from the same place twice.

And the State of Islam will remain.

Will remain.. because it was built on the body-pieces of the martyrs, and was irrigated with their bloods, and inside it the market of Jannah was founded.

Will remain.. because it is Allah's support for this Jihad is clearer than the sun in the middle of the sky.

Will remain.. because it was not polluted with prohibited money or heretic creed.

Will remain.. with the honesty of the leaders who sacrificed their bloods, and the honesty of the soldiers who lift it with their arms, we think so, and Allah is their Judge.

Will remain.. because it is the unity of the Mujahideen and the shelter of the feeble ones.

Will remain.. because Islam ascends and raises, and the clouse is fading out, and the Kufr is getting defeated and exposed.

Will remain.. because it is the prayer of the persecuted, and the tear of the women who lost their sons, and the scream of the prisoners, and the hope of the orphans.

Will remain.. because the Kufr with all its sects and beliefs has assembled against us, and every deviant, desire-follower and coward started to inveigh and revile it, therefore we got to believe certainly about the rectitude of the goal and the purity of the path.

Will remain.. becuase we have a strong faith that Allah will not break the hearts of the weak Muwahiddeen, and He will not make the tyrants happy for our loss.

Will remain.. Because Allah promised in His authentic Book and said: "Allah hath promised such of you as believe and do good works that He will surely make them to succeed (the present rulers) in the earth even as He caused those who were before them to succeed others); and that He will surely establish for them their religion which He hath approved for them, a will give them in exchange safety after their fear. They serve Me. They ascribe no thing as partner unto Me. Those who disbelieve henceforth, they are the miscreants." [24:55]

Indonesia arrests bomb suspects

Ten men suspected of planning bomb attacks in Indonesia have been arrested by police and flown to Jakarta.

They arrived in the capital after several raids on addresses in Sumatra.

One of the suspects is reported to be a foreign national and the arrests have raised fresh questions about the state of militant networks in the country.

Police say the 10 suspects have links to Noordin Mohamed Top, a radical Islamist who is top of their most-wanted list.

He is suspected of masterminding deadly bomb attacks in Indonesia.

Bomb-making haul

The first arrest came after Singapore officials alerted police to a man working as an English teacher on the island of Sumatra who they said had links to the regional militant network Jemaah Islamiah.

That man, police say, has already confessed to training several people in bomb-making techniques.

At least 19 bombs, several containers of bomb-making chemicals and electronics were also seized in the raids.

Unconfirmed media reports have also linked one of the suspects to Osama Bin Laden after police confirmed he had spent time at a military training camp in Afghanistan.

Al-Qaeda 'turncoats' to go on Saudi TV

2008-07-02T00:40:00.000+08:00

Unverified news from kuffar source.

Terrorism: Al-Qaeda 'turncoats' to go on Saudi TV

Riyadh, 1 July (AKI) - The female founder of al-Qaeda's first women-only website is among several 'turncoats' from the terror network who are expected to publicly recant jihadism on Saudi TV .

The al-Khansa women's website founder, Umm Osama, and other arrested al-Qaeda suspects will say they have renounced jihadist ideology in a series of interviews to be aired late on Tuesday, pan-Arab daily al-Hayat reports.

An interview with Umm Osama's compatriot, the Egyptian-born Abu Azza al-Ansari will also be aired, al-Hayat said.

Al-Ansari was the director of the al-Qaeda linked 'Echoes of Jihad' online magazine.

Al-Khansa - the sole women-only jihadist webiste - and 'Echoes of Jihad' are considered to have been al-Qaeda's most successful propaganda tools before the Saudi authorities closed both down in 2007.

Investigators allege Osama used al-Khansa to recruit women to armed groups and to communicate with terror cells inside and outside Saudi Arabia.

Al-Khansa allegedly also gave information to the 'mujahide' or female jihadists on how to give first-aid to injured 'warriors' and how to bring up their children as future 'martyrs' of Islam.

Osama posted jihadist material on the Internet, according to investigators. A prominent figure in Jihad, she has lived for some 20 years in the Saudi city of Medina.

In a 2003 interview with Saudi daily al-Watan, Osama, then aged 23, stated she was the leader of al-Qaeda's women's section.

Osama confirmed that al-Qaeda spreads its message mainly via the Internet. This allows "all the brothers and sisters" to train together, also spiritually, she said.

She also claimed she had received via the Internet instructions from Taliban leader Mullah Saifuddin, who took his orders from al-Qaeda's leadership in Afghanistan.

Osama has however failed to radicalise many women, according to investigators, who say there are currently no al-Qaeda cells in Saudi prisons.

The few female terror suspects arrested in 2003 during a series of raids by the Saudi police in the capital, Riyadh, have been placed under house arrest and made to undergo 're-education' courses.

One such woman is he Bosnian wife of the alleged al-Qaeda leader in Saudi Arabia, Moroccan born Yunes al-Hayari. He was killed during the 2003 Riyadh raids

JI leaders arrested

JI leaders arrested
Mark Forbes in Jakarta
April 16, 2008 Sydney Morning Herald

THE new leader of terrorist network Jemaah Islamiah is believed to have been arrested, in a further blow to the group's plans to impose an Islamic state across South East Asia.

Two Indonesians, Abu Husna (alias Abdul Rohim) and Agus Purwanto, are undergoing interrogation in Jakarta after being apprehended in Malaysia. Both were senior members of the network, said leading JI expert and International Crisis Group director Sidney Jones.

"This is big," Ms Jones told The Herald. "Abu Husna was a senior member of the JI command and we've heard from a lot of people that he replaced Zarkasih as the emir [leader]."

Zarkasih and JI military commander Abu Dujana were arrested in a series of police raids in central Java last year.

During the 1990s JI established terror cells across the region, but it has been the target of police crackdowns since organising the 2002 Bali bombings. Extremist members have continued to carry out terrorist attacks, including the bombing of Australia's Jakarta embassy and the second attacks on Bali in 2005.

Purwanto, a doctor who led JI's violent campaign against Christians in Indonesia's Poso, is also rumoured to have treated the fugitive Bali bombings mastermind, Noordin Top. Indonesian police believe the pair can provide information on Top's whereabouts.

Indonesian police spokesman Anton Bachrul Alam said the pair were intercepted in Malaysia in January 31 in a raid on illegal immigrants.

Under interrogation, they said they were travelling to Syria to meet other radical groups.

They were wanted for their involvement in a 2005 market bombing and beheading of three Christian schoolgirls in Poso, Mr Alam said. Police were also investigating suggestions Husna was the head of JI.

Indonesian detective chief Bambang Danuri said both men were involved in religious violence in Poso that has claimed more than 2,000 lives since 1999.

Ms Jones said Husna was the leader of a JI faction that strongly supported violent tactics against Christians in Poso, but was critical of indiscriminate terrorist attacks on Westerners, believing they had exposed and weakened the organisation.

"He's not non-violent," she said. "Husna was opposed to Noordin but very much committed to rebuilding JI as a clandestine organisation."

If they talked, Husna and Purwanto could provide information on virtually every aspect of JI, she said.

"Certainly it will be a treasure trove of information about changes in structure since the arrest of Abu Dujana, on funding, on JI schools and lots of other aspects."

As a member of JI's central command, Husna was head of its education program, running a network of more than 20 radical pesantrans producing potential recruits.

Ms Jones warned the arrests could embolden radicals within JI aligned to Top, giving them a sense that "there is nothing to lose by pulling out all the stops".

With Top on the run and his key bombmaker shot dead by police, JI has not launched a major attack since 2005 and there are questions over his ability to launch another large scale bombing.

Ms Jones said Purwanto took aver as JI leader in Poso after his predecessor was arrested for the beheading of three Christian schoolgirls in 2006.

The arrest would weaken JI, Ms Jones said, although "we saw how quickly new people moved into position following earlier arrests, but sooner or later you have to think they are going to run out of senior leaders."

Mauritania raids 'al-Qaeda house'

Mauritanian police have stormed a building in the capital Nouakchott, searching for fighters suspected of links with al-Qaeda, according to security forces.

However, the suspects managed to escape the raid on Tuesday at what police said was an "operational bomb factory".

The raid followed a gunfight between police and fighters on Monday night at the same house.

Police had earlier said that a man wanted for the murder of four French tourists was among those captured in the shootout.

However, police said that Sidi Ould Sidna, one of three men charged with the December 24 killings, may have been one of the people who escaped from the building.

An Associated Press news agency reporter at the scene said that two men were killed, including one police officer.

Suspects escaped

Police surrounded the building on Tuesday believing the fighters were still inside, before moving in supported by soldiers at 7.30am (0730 GMT), witnesses said.

"There was nobody there, just ammunition and a few personal effects," a source told the AFP news agency.

Security sources said a car with five or six people managed to get away during Monday night's clash under the cover of fire from men inside the house. Officers later found a wounded man in the abandoned car.

A security official originally said the captured man was riddled with bullet wounds and police had been "80 per cent sure" he was Ould Sidna.

Ould Sidna escaped from a courthouse last Wednesday after an interrogation session, tricking guards who believed he was inside a bathroom.

Another Akhi Escaped

2008-02-29T01:36:00.000+08:00

Allahu Akbar!
Allahu Akbar!
Allahu Akbar wa lilla hil hamd…

Alhamdulillah syukur ke hadrat Illahi saudara kita Mas Selamat Kastari
telah berjaya melepaskan diri dari cengkaman polis Singapura petang
semalam. Negara yang sering mendabik dada dengan teknologi yang
canggih dan tahap kawalan yang ketat akhirnya lumpuh juga dengan ketua
Jemaah Islamiah Singapura itu yang diberitakan berjalan tempang. Ini
adalah suatu berita baik buat semua pencinta jihad dan mohon kiranya
kita semua berdoa agar beliau dapat diselamatkan dari diburu
anjing-anjing pemerintah Singapura dan dapat melarikan diri ke
Indonesia atau Malaysia.

Singapore hunts escaped JI suspect
Al Jazeera

Mas Selamat Kastari, alleged to be commander of the Singapore wing of
JI, escaped from a detention centre on Wednesday, the home affairs
ministry said.

"Extensive police resources have been deployed to track him down," it said.

The ministry said the 47-year-old walks with a limp and was not
believed to be armed.

Wong Kan Seng, Singapore's home affairs minister, apologised for the
"security lapse".

"This should never have happened. I am sorry that it had," he said,
adding that security at the centre had since been stepped up.

"An independent investigation is under way and we should not speculate
on what and how it happened."

Wong said Mas Selamat was being taken to see his visiting family when
he asked to use the washroom and made his escape.

Asked why the public was informed only four hours after the escape,
Wong said the escape posed no "imminent danger to the public" at the
time.

Military personnel were mobilised on Thursday to reinforce police who
had set up roadblocks and combed the area throughout the night.

The alert also went out to all border checkpoints, the coast guard,
and even taxi companies, urging cab drivers to look out for the
suspect.

The Internal Security Department's Whitley detention centre is located
in a quiet, wooded area just a few kilometres from Singapore's main
shopping district.

Homes and several schools are within walking distance and the centre
has no watch-towers, unlike other prisons in Singapore.

Several schools near the detention centre were searched and ringed by
police as classes continued, but many parents took their children out
of school for the day, Singapore's Straits Times newspaper reported.

Singapore, a close ally of the US, was named an al-Qaeda target during
alleged al-Qaeda operative Khalid Sheikh Mohamed's tribunal at
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, last year.

The Singapore government says the Indonesian-born Mas Selamat plotted
to crash an aircraft into the country's airport and was involved in
plans to attack Singapore government buildings and the US embassy
there.

He avoided a 2001 dragnet in Singapore that netted 13 JI suspects.
Indonesian authorities detained him in February 2006 for carrying
false identification papers and handed him to Singapore in March.

Singapore has held him since under its Internal Security Act, which
allows indefinite detention without trial.

Another 27 people are being detained under that law for alleged
involvement in terrorist activities.

Another 31, most of them former JI members, have been released from
detention but remain on Restriction Orders which limit their
activities.

The Taghout Kingdom

2008-02-09T02:06:00.000+08:00

I just watched this kuffar Hollywood movie The Kingdom about an FBI team investigating an attack on US citizens in Saudi Arabia. The usual pro-US story prevails in the movie. The mujahidin are shown as monsters who kill women and children right from the start of the show. Of course the movie did not touch on how the Western forces have committed atrocities on women, children and the old in Iraq and Afghanistan. The taghout Saudi police are shown as heroes together with the Americans. This is typical of the Western portrayal of those who defend our Deen and those attack it. There are "moderate" Muslims - but these are actually munafiqin who side with the enemies of the ummah. The kuffar are in Saudi Arabia at the invitation of the taghout government to wage war on us. The Americans are there to extract and protect the oil, and without that oil the biggest representative of Syaitan would be weak economically, politically and militarily, and therefore not a menace as it is now to all believers. The Saudi government has in their power to cripple the kuffar US, but they are accomplices instead forgetting that Jews and the Christians are allies and enemies of Islam.

"Never will the Jews or the Christians be satisfied with thee unless thou follow their form of religion." (2:120)

The only truth in the whole movie was at the end of the show. When the FBI agent said that he would kill them all, referring to the mujahidin, and a young Muslim boy who also said the same thing about killing all the kuffar after his bomb-maker grandfather was murdered by the FBI. Since the kuffar will not stop their aggression towards the ummah, Insya Allah, there is only one end.

"And fight them on until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah altogether and everywhere; but if they cease, verily Allah doth see all that they do." (8:39)

Nah lihat saja gambar ini, betapa orang-orang Islam diperbodohkan dan kelihatan seolah-olah mempersetujui tindak tanduk anjing-anjing tentera Amerika.

Kafir Amerika Masih Berdegil

2007-12-15T00:38:00.000+08:00

Sehingga ini Kafir Amerika masih tetap keras berdegil dengan kesombongan diri yang ingin menjaga keamanan di Iraq. Terlalu ramai tenteranya dibunuh di sana, namun mesejnya tetap tidak sampai ke benak mereka. Semuanya kerana kerakusan dan sifat mendabik dada bahawa merekalah negara paling terkuat di dunia. Namun mereka lupa bahawa ada kuasa yang lebih hebat dan kuasa inilah iaitu Allah SWT yang telah menunjukkan pada mereka kesombongan ini hanya merugikan diri... Allahu Akbar!!!

4 Tentara Kafir AS Tewas dan Terluka dalam Serangan di Salahuddin
Jum'at 07 Des, 09:19 AM

Iraq (armnews) - Dua tentara AS tewas dan dua lainnya terluka dalam serangan terhadap tentara penjajah Amerika di propinsi Salahuddin, Rabu (5/12).

Tentara AS dalam pernyataannya menyatakan: “Dua tentara Amerika tersebut tewas akibat luka yang disebabkan serangan menggunakan bahan peledak dan senjata ringan dalam operasi militer di propinsi Salahuddin.”

Menurut data Kementrian Pertahanan Amerika (Pentagon), dengan kematian dua tentara AS tersebut, jumlah tentara yang tewas menjadi 3885 orang, menambah daftar kerugian tentara penjajah AS di Iraq sejak invasi Maret 2003.

Akan tetapi, jumlah kematian yang dipublikasikan Pentagon tersebut banyak diragukan oleh para pengamat independen. Mereka menganggap jumlah kerugian yang dialami oleh AS jauh lebih besar dibanding pernyataan mereka, apalagi dengan semakin meningkatnya serangan-serangan yang dilancarkan oleh para Mujahidin Iraq.

Tentara AS dalam pernyataannya Selasa (4/12) menyatakan, seorang tentaranya tewas dan dua lainnya terluka dalam ledakan kendaraan militer yang terjadi hari Senin di propinsi Anbar di barat Iraq.

Sebelumnya, tentara AS menyatakan bahwa mereka melakukan kesalahan dengan menembaki mobil sipil dalam operasi terhadap Al Qaeda dekat Tarmiyah, utara Baghdad. Yang menyebabkan satu orang sipil tewas dan 3 lainnya terluka.

Abu Zaid Ali Ghufron @ Mukhlas’ Letter To All…

2007-12-12T02:09:00.000+08:00

From an akhi at gurobabersatu.

Akhi Mukhlas has just released a letter to inform us that he is fine and healthy and hope that we are in a good stead of health ourselves. Most importantly, he is at peace with himself and have not felt better than before. To quote a great mujahid, Syaikhul Islam Ibnu Taimiyah “What is being done by my enemies to me are nothing as Paradise is in my heart and its gardens are etched deep in my chest. Wherever I go, they are in me. My prison cell is my solitude, to kill me is to make a Syahid out of me and to exile me is to make me go on a tour…” Akhi Mukhlas said that his brother Amrozi and Imam Samudera are also at peace with themselves. This explained why they were smiling when photos or footage of them on television were being showed of late in the local media.

They want to show to the world that this threat of execution hanging on their heads will not scare nor deter them and for others to follow their lead. It might be a test of epic proportions to any normal human being but not them. At first it sounded daunting to even think of imprisonment but the execution decision was something sweet to the ears. This peaceful state of mind would not have occurred had it not been for the kind prayers and goodwill showered upon them through their supporters.

In his letter, akhi Mukhlas hits out at Ustaz Luqman Ba’abduh for his work on “Mereka Adalah Teroris” and for having support from the authorities. He said that Ustaz Luqman and those against them are only brave enough to come out with literary works with no substance nor having the gumption to meet for a debate. The only way to differentiate the truth and the lies is when both sides leave the world and see how many would accompany the cortege to the cemetery and pray for their souls. This would end all debates as to who is right in their understanding of Islam. Even though Ustaz Luqman and others might think badly of them, Mukhlas still regards them as brothers in Islam who are wayward and misguided.

Release the Imprisoned Muslims, Stop the Carnage In Lebanon!

2007-12-03T01:07:00.000+08:00

From our brother at almuhajirun.com.

All praises to Allah and may His blessings upon Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), the other prophets before him, his family and friends.

As we all know by now, Islam is a religion of mercy, of good deeds, of good moral values and to apply the goodness of it is to warn its followers from using evil in any form of revenge, discussion and debate and to ensure its followers call out to Allah Almighty as the following surah had decreed:

“Invite all to the way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in many ways that are best and most gracious: for thy Lord knoweth best, who have strayed from His Path, and who receive guidance.” (An-Nahl, 125)

The situation in Lebanon now sees the fight between Sunni Muslims and the government. Our brethren are arrested, tortured, humiliated and killed and segregated by force, just to make foreign government agencies happy or satisfy sectarian groups in the name of rewards, bonuses and personal vendettas.

Amidst all these carnage and chaos, questions are being raised on the motives of these senseless perpetrators. Why are the Sunnis being targeted? What benefits do they gain from these evil acts? And who is interested in the number of Sunnis being caught?

Those who are swayed by this call of “War Against Terror” by the Americans and their allies, whose distorted aims are actually to wage a war against Islam and its people, and these people choose to join forces and be involved, in turn have declared war against their own Muslim brethren with their own personal propagandas, to satisfy their dictator’s needs.

To those who have been brainwashed by this distorted ideology, the people who satisfy their top brass in arresting Sunni Muslims in Lebanon as an offering to the Americans, using imprisonment, shooting them etc, we promise in the name of Allah SWT that we will counter accordingly, where there are no restrictions in doing so. We will not receive any humiliations towards our religion or compromise on our principles and most definitely we will not keep quiet at the detention of our Ulamas, Syuykhuk, Du’at etc. You have only tricked yourselves to believe that you are doing good but this country will never rest thinking of the atrocities you’ve done.

We declare that we are at peace through what you deem as carnage and evil, and whoever is behind it will not stop till the fires of destruction and atrocities end and till this country and community is freed from them. And Allah is Most Powerful.

From the Press Room of Syekh Omar Bakri Muhammad, Tripoli, Lebanon.

Presiden taghout Pakistan, Pervez Musharraf kemungkinan akan hilang kuasa. Saya tidak mempunyai sebarang rasa belas atau kasihan terhadapnya. Dia adalah sekutu Amerika laknat dan sentiasa memburu pejuang-pejuang mujahidin di sempadan Afghanistan-Pakistan. Masih ingat lagi tentang serangan di Masjid Lal beberapa bulan lalu? Serangan itu dilancarkan oleh seseorang yang bergelar dirinya seorang Muslim. Adakah orang yang bergelar Muslim itu akan melakukan serangan terhadap rumah Allah? Para mujahid mesti mengambil tindakan untuk melemahkan lagi Musharraf dan sekaligus menggulingkannya. Negara Islam seperti Pakistan tidak harus diketuai oleh seorang munafik!

An Internet Jihad Aims at U.S. Viewers

2007-10-16T02:22:00.001+08:00

Alhamdulillah Our akhi still blogs on at http://worldclash.wordpress.com/

An Internet Jihad Aims at U.S. Viewers

When Osama bin Laden issued his videotaped message to the American people last month, a young jihad enthusiast went online to help spread the word.

America needs to listen to Shaykh Usaamah very carefully and take his message with great seriousness," he wrote on his blog. "America is known to be a people of arrogance."Unlike Mr. bin Laden, the blogger was not operating from a remote location. It turns out he is a 21-year-old American named Samir Khan who produces his blog from his parents' home in North Carolina, where he serves as a kind of Western relay station for the multimedia productions of violent Islamic groups.

In recent days, he has featured "glad tidings" from a North African militant leader whose group killed 31 Algerian troops. He posted a scholarly treatise arguing for violent jihad, translated into English. He listed hundreds of links to secret sites from which his readers could obtain the latest blood-drenched insurgent videos from Iraq.

His neatly organized site also includes a file called "United States of Losers," which showcased a recent news broadcast about a firefight in Afghanistan with this added commentary from Mr. Khan: "You can even see an American soldier hiding during the ambush like a baby!! AllahuAkbar! AllahuAkbar!"

Mr. Khan, who was born in Saudi Arabia and grew up in Queens, is an unlikely foot soldier in what Al Qaeda calls the "Islamic jihadi media." He has grown up in middle-class America and wrestles with his worried parents about his religious fervor. Yet he is stubborn. "I will do my best to speak the truth, and even if it annoys the disbelievers, the truth must be preached," Mr. Khan said in an interview.

While there is nothing to suggest that Mr. Khan is operating in concert with militant leaders, or breaking any laws, he is part of a growing constellation of apparently independent media operators who are broadcasting the message of Al Qaeda and other groups, a message that is increasingly devised, translated and aimed for a Western audience.

Terrorism experts at West Point say there are as many as 100 English language sites offering militant Islamic views, with Mr. Khan's — which claims 500 regular readers — among the more active. While their reach is difficult to assess, it is clear from a review of extremist material and interviews that militants are seeking to appeal to young American and European Muslims by playing on their anger over the war in Iraq and the image of Islam under attack.

Tedious Arabic screeds are reworked into flashy English productions. Recruitment tracts are issued in multiple languages, like a 39-page, electronic, English version of a booklet urging women to join the fight against the West.

There are even online novellas like "Rakan bin Williams," about a band of Christian European converts who embraced Al Qaeda and "promised God that they will carry the flag of their distant brothers and seek vengeance on the evil doers."

Militant Islamists are turning grainy car-bombing tapes into slick hip-hop videos and montage movies, all readily available on Western sites like YouTube, the online video smorgasbord.

"It is as if you would watch a Hollywood movie," said Abu Saleh, a 21-year-old German devotee of Al Qaeda videos who visits Internet cafes in Berlin twice a week to get the latest releases. "The Internet has totally changed my view on things."

An Internet Strategy

Al Qaeda and its followers have used the Internet to communicate and rally support for years, but in the past several months the Western tilt of the message and the sophistication of the media have accelerated. So has the output. Since the beginning of the year, Al Qaeda's media operation, Al Sahab, has issued new videotapes as often as every three days. Even more come from Iraq, where insurgents are pumping them out daily.

That production line is the legacy of one man: Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the former leader of Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia who was killed in June 2006 by American bombs.

Mr. Zarqawi learned the power of the Internet in prison, according to a former associate who was imprisoned with him in Jordan a decade ago. Mr. Zarqawi's jailhouse group of 32 Islamists sought to recruit other prisoners by handwriting a newsletter, Al Tawheed, when it discovered a larger audience.

"We sent them outside, to brothers in Europe and England," who posted the newsletters on militant Web sites, the associate said, asking not be identified because he said he is involved with Islamist activities.In Iraq, Mr. Zarqawi embraced the video camera as a weapon of war. "He made the decision that every group should have a video camera with them, and every operation should be taped," said a Palestinian militant who went to Iraq in 2005 to teach foreign fighters from Morocco and parts of Europe how to build bombs and stage roadside attacks.

Two Lebanese intelligence officials confirmed that the Palestinian, who goes by the nom de guerre Abu Omar, had worked with Mr. Zarqawi in Iraq, and he played a video of foreign fighters in Iraq for reporters of The New York Times.

Abu Omar, 37, a muscular man who carried a Glock 21 pistol tucked into the belt of his camouflage pants during an interview at his home in Lebanon, said Mr. Zarqawi also had him tape his bombmaking classes so his expertise would not be lost if he were killed.

"We had two cameramen, people who learned how to do this before they came to Iraq," Abu Omar said. "And after filming, we had different houses in the area where we made the videos."

Dahia al-Maqdassi, 26, a Palestinian who said he produced insurgent videos in Iraq two years ago, said, "In every city in Iraq they had a little office where someone did film operations." He described his "media section" as a house near Falluja where 6 to 10 people worked. "We finished the film and then sent it to jihadi Web sites," Mr. Maqdassi said.

Propaganda Rap Video

One of the most influential sites is Tajdeed, which is based in London and run by Dr. Muhammad Massari, a Saudi physicist and dissident. Over lunch at a McDonald's near his home, Dr. Massari said Mr. Zarqawi's insurgent videos from Iraq inspired local productions like "Dirty Kuffar," the Arabic word for nonbeliever. The 2004 rap music video mixed images of Western leaders with others purporting to show American troops cheer as they shot injured Iraqi civilians.

Dr. Massari, who helped promote the video, said similar crossover productions soon followed and made their way to his Web site.

"I never touch the videos that are on my forums," said Dr. Massari, who wears a long white Arabic robe. "Someone with Al Qaeda uploads them, probably at Internet cafes, to password-protected sites. Then they call a friend, say, in Australia or Brasília, and say, 'Hi Johnny, your mom is traveling today.' That is the code to download the video. It goes up and down like that a few times, with no trace, until someone posts a link on my site."

Last spring, Al Qaeda made what analysts say was a bold attempt to tap potential supporters in the United States. In a videotaped interview, Ayman al-Zawahri, a bin Laden lieutenant, praised Malcolm X and urged American blacks and other minorities to see that "we are waging jihad to lift oppression from all of mankind."

The tape quickly found an audience. Mr. Zawahri "cares about black people," wrote a blogger with Vibe, the American hip-hop and urban culture magazine, which claims 1.6 million visits a month. "At least, I think that's why he's quoting Malcolm X in his latest mix tape, which dropped last weekend."

Umar Lee, a 32-year-old Muslim convert from St. Louis, offered a stinging critique of Mr. Zawahri on his blog for Muslim Americans, criticizing "the second-class status many blacks live in right in the Arab World." Soon, Mr. Lee's blog churned with commentary on the parallels between Arab and black American radicals.

A four-minute version of the hourlong Qaeda video, entitled "To Black Americans," has logged more than 1,800 views on YouTube in the four months since it was posted.

Among those who posted a link to the YouTube version was Mr. Khan, the North Carolina blogger who said he was struck by the simplicity in the messages of both Al Qaeda and Malcolm X. "They are geniuses for having the ability to mold their ideology into simple yet influential messages that can reach the grass-roots level," he said.

Mr. Khan produces his blog anonymously, but was identified by The Times through the e-mail account he used in previous online discussions. (Pictures he had posted online helped The Times distinguish him from another, unrelated North Carolina resident, about 10 years older, who has the same name.)

In an interview at a local mosque, where he sat on a prayer rug wearing a traditional Arabic robe, Mr. Khan traced his increasing militancy.

His blog has attracted enough notoriety that vigilante groups opposed to jihadi sites have gotten him shut down a few times in recent months. He said he was somewhat surprised he had not been confronted by government authorities, although, he said, "I've never told anybody to build bombs."

His early postings, beginning in 2003, promoted strengthening Islam in North America through nonviolent confrontations. But with the escalating war in Iraq, bloodshed became a recurrent theme.

He described his favorite video from Iraq: a fiery suicide-bomber attack on an American outpost.

"It was something that brought great happiness to me," he said. "Because this is something America would never want to admit, that they are being crushed."

Asked how he felt living among people who had sent soldiers to Iraq, Mr. Khan said: "Whatever happens to their sons and daughters is none of my concern. They are people of hellfire and I have no concern for them."

A Teenage Transformation

Born in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, Mr. Khan was 7 when his family moved to New York City and settled into the Queens neighborhood of Maspeth.

He mirrored his teenage peers, from their slang to their baggy pants, until August 2001 when, at age 15, he said, he attended a weeklong summer camp at a mosque in Queens, which was sponsored by a fundamentalist but nonviolent group now known as the Islamic Organization of North America (IONA).

"They were teaching things about religion and brotherhood that captivated me," Mr. Khan said. He said he went back to school knowing "what I wanted to do with my life: be a firm Muslim, a strong Muslim, a practicing Muslim."

He prayed more regularly. He dressed more modestly. He stopped listening to music except for Soldiers of Allah, a Los Angeles hip-hop group, now defunct, whose tunes like "Bring Islam Back" continue to have worldwide appeal among militant youths.

He also befriended members of the Islamic Thinkers Society, a tiny group that promotes radical, nonviolent Islam by leafleting in Times Square and Jackson Heights, Queens.

After moving with his family to North Carolina in 2004, Mr. Khan said, he attended a community college for three years and earned money selling various products, including kitchen knives.

But he began spending chunks of his days on the blog he created in late 2005, "Inshallahshaheed," which translates as "a martyr soon if God wills." The Internet traffic counter Alexa.com , which rarely is able to measure the popularity of blogs because they do not have enough readers, ranked his among the top one percent of one hundred million Internet sites in the world.

If Mr. Khan's extreme rhetoric has won him a wider audience, it has caused him problems at home. Last year, his father tried to pull him back to the family's more moderate views by asking an imam to intervene.

"I tried to bring arguments from the Koran and scholars, and said, 'Whatever you are thinking it is not true,'" said Mustapha Elturk, a family friend and the leader of IONA, the Islamic organization that first inspired Mr. Khan. But Mr. Khan did not budge, he said.

Mr. Khan said he separated from IONA over one matter: the organization would not support violent jihad without the endorsement of a Muslim nation's leader, which Mr. Khan argues is unnecessary.

Mr. Elturk said, "His father and family are really scared that he might do something."

Attempts to Shut Down Blog

From time to time, Mr. Khan said, his father also cut off his Internet access and, to placate him, Mr. Khan recently added a disclaimer to his blog disavowing responsibility for the views expressed on the site.

He has also been fending off citizen watchdogs who are working to knock sites likes his off the Internet. Twice in September his blog went dark when his service provider shut him down, citing complaints about the nature of his postings.

Mr. Khan has now moved his blog to a site called Muslimpad, whose American operators recently moved from Texas to Amman, Jordan. Their larger forum, Islamic Network, is the host of discussions among English-speaking Muslims. One of their former employees, Daniel Maldonado, was convicted this year in federal court of associating with terrorists at their training camps in Somalia.

Mr. Khan said that he had dreams about meeting Mr. bin Laden and that he would not rule out picking up a weapon himself one day. In a recent essay, he argued that jihad was mandatory for all Muslims, and he cited three ways to fulfill this obligation: join fighters in Iraq, Afghanistan or Algeria; send them money; or promote militant videos as part of the jihad media.

For now, he said, he is fulfilling his obligations by helping other Muslims understand their religion. Recently he posted a video of a news report from Somalia showing a grenade-wielding American who had joined the Islamists.

"He is an example of a Muslim who follows the Religion of Islaam," Mr. Khan wrote.

Force and Intimidation: Making the kuffar understand

2007-08-30T02:16:00.001+08:00

The kuffar only understand intimidation.

Taliban agree to release all South Korean hostages

GHAZNI, Afghanistan (AFP) - Afghanistan's extremist Taliban said Tuesday they would free 19 kidnapped South Korean aid workers within days, raising hopes for an end to the near six-week hostage crisis.

The militia agreed a deal with South Korean diplomats after Seoul pledged to remove its small military force from Afghanistan by the end of the year as planned and prevent Christian missionary groups from visiting the country.

"We're going to do our utmost to free them as soon as possible," said Taliban negotiator Qari Mohammad Bashir, adding that the hostages would likely be released in the three to four days.

Bashir said it would take time to gather the hostages as they were being held in different locations. The Taliban has previously said the captives were split up into small groups and held in three provinces.

The agreement was reached in talks between Taliban leaders and South Korean officials in Ghazni, 140 kilometres (90 miles) south of Kabul. Indonesian diplomats and tribal negotiators also played a role.

The news was greeted with scenes of joy in South Korea where the crisis has gripped the nation ever since a group of 23 aid workers was kidnapped while travelling by bus from the capital Kabul to Kandahar on July 19. "The good news has arrived and the whole nation is now relieved," South Korean President Roh Moo-Hyun was quoted by his spokesman as saying.

Family members shed tears and embraced one another as they gathered at a church south of Seoul where a vigil has been maintained throughout the 41-day ordeal. They have experienced shifting emotions as the Taliban killed two of the male hostages and then released two women on August 13.

Their spokesman Cha Sung-Min, almost overcome with emotion at a press conference, expressed sorrow the news could not be shared with the two dead male hostages. "We feel very sorry for causing so much concern to the people. It is very regrettable that we cannot share this good news with the relatives of the late Pastor Bae Hyung-Kyu and brother Shim Sung-Min," he said.

The previous round of talks ended in deadlock just under two weeks ago, with the Taliban sticking to a demand that some of its men be freed from jail. But the Afghan government has steadfastly refused to release any prisoners.

The government was criticised in March after it released five Taliban militants in exchange for an Italian journalist but declined to release another prisoner to secure the freedom of his Afghan translator who was later beheaded.

Taliban negotiator Bashir said the militia also wanted all South Korean aid workers to leave Afghanistan by the end of the month, but this demand was not confirmed by other sources. He said Taliban forces had also agreed not to attack South Korean troops before they leave.

Seoul had said it would pull out the troops, mostly engineers and medics, as scheduled by the end of the year. The South Korean government has already passed a legal amendment making unauthorised travel to Afghanistan punishable by a jail term, and told all Christian and other aid groups to come home from the war-torn nation.

The Taliban, linked to Osama bin Laden's Al-Qaeda movement, are also holding a German engineer who was kidnapped a day before the South Koreans. The group has said it wanted 10 jailed Taliban to be freed in exchange for the engineer, who is also said to be sick, and his four Afghan colleagues.

The kidnappings are among a series of incidents blamed on the Taliban, who are waging a bloody insurgency against the Kabul government and its coalition allies that has spiralled in intensity over the past year.

A female German aid worker was kidnapped in broad daylight in the capital earlier this month, but she was later freed in a police raid and authorities said her abduction was a criminal act motivated by money.

Oleh itu, jika kamu berpaling (menderhaka), maka sesungguhnya Allah tidak suka kepada orang-orang yang kafir." (Ali-Imran : 31-32)

Small defeat now but big victory later

2007-08-09T02:31:00.001+08:00

May akhi Rahmat Abdhir be released soon. May Allah (swt) guide him and give him strength. May others be awakened. Setbacks are unwanted but inevitable.

"If a wound hath touched you, be sure a similar wound hath touched the others. Such days (of varying fortunes) we give to men and men by turns: that Allah may know those that believe, and that He may take to Himself from your ranks martyr-witnesses (to Truth). And Allah loveth not those that do wrong." (Ali-Imran: 140)

However, the mujahidin and the ummah should not lose heart. Ultimate victory is guaranteed and it is only a matter of time as we are on the side of Allah (swt).

"As to those who turn (for friendship) to Allah, His Messenger, and the (fellowship of) believers,- it is the fellowship of Allah that must certainly triumph." (Al-Maidah: 56)

Brothers face terror-related charges
By JASON DEAREN, Associated Press Writer Thu Aug 2, 11:32 PM ET

SAN FRANCISCO - Two brothers were indicted Thursday on terrorism-related charges after one allegedly provided money and equipment to the other who was battling troops in the Philippines as a member of a terrorist group, authorities said.

FBI agents arrested Rahmat Abdhir, 43, of San Jose, outside his office in Sunnyvale on Thursday morning, federal authorities said. His brother, Zulkifli Abdhir, 41, remains at large in the Philippines and is wanted on a $5 million reward.

Both were charged in a 16-count indictment that included charges of conspiracy to support terrorists. Rahmat Abdhir also was charged with making false statements and contributing goods and services to a known terrorist, his brother.

It was unclear Thursday whether Rahmat Abdhir had hired an attorney, said Justice Department spokesman Dean Boyd.

Zulkifli Abdhir has been labeled by the U.S. government as a "specially designated global terrorist" since 2003. Prosecutors said Zulkifli Abdhir provided regular reports to his brother of battles between Philippine troops and members of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, a group the government said has ties to al-Qaida's regional affiliate, Jemaah Islamiyah.

Federal prosecutors say the brothers communicated with each other in code in a scheme to have Rahmat Abdhir send his brother knives, two-way radios and backpacks. Their code included using the words "presents" and "prizes" for improvised explosive devices; "dogs" referred to government agents and "iron" for guns, according to the indictment.

Between June 2006 and June 2007, Rahmat Abdhir sent his brother Colt .45 magazines, a rifle scope, camouflage clothing and more than $10,000, according to the indictment.

If convicted on all counts, Rahmat Abdhir faces a maximum of life in prison, while Zulkifli Abdhir faces a maximum of 30 years.

The Lying Race

2007-07-30T18:36:00.001+08:00

From a brother at almuhajirun.com .

The Lying Race

"Lying" is defined as an act of faking information to trick someone or giving the wrong impression to others and deviating away from the truth. In general, lying is deemed as a wrongdoing in terms of moral and religious aspects. It is well known that someone who lies, is someone who cannot be trusted as the lies that spread around would definitely create doubts, chaos and destruction in society. It's not surprising to see the lives of the Western people full of fibs and lies, like being a part of their everyday lives.

Western children are taught to lie as part of their education material. From a young age, they have been nurtured with this flawed value. Children are taught to believe fictitious tales on monsters and imaginary characters that do not have any substance on their mind development. They prefer to believe characters like Dracula and Frankenstein, that do not have any relationship with reality. Children are given a form of idealism that can be seen and watched. The biggest lie of all is Christmas and Santa Claus. They are educated from young to believe and practice them. In reality, Christmas is not only celebrated other than the birth of Jesus but also an extension of the festival celebrated by pagans.

Children are further embroiled in a web of deceit in school where they learn many forms of lies. One notable example is the evolution of man from apes. They are forced to accept the fact that the Earth was created via the Big Bang theory thus making their faiths shift away from the existence of God.

This kind of education is bound to give rise to a generation of liars. Films, drama, comedies and novels are famous examples of lies disguised as a form of entertainment. In time to come, the society will accept this entertainment form even if they know that it's all fiction. The journalistic profession is one industry which is also fond of reporting what they like and leaving out facts as and when they see the need to, just to increase the ratings and sales of their tabloids. People pay a lot of money daily to read these kind of news that have been created by the journalists. In actual fact, the journalists are lying and not reporting true facts for their own personal purposes and the benefit of their governments which they refer to as "black propaganda". Some even pay foreign countries to spread lies.

Frauds and scandals are synonymous to politics as they are meant to support and bring down others. It is no longer strange to hear the likes of Tony Blair and George Bush talking about weapons of mass destruction as justification to attack the Muslims in Iraq as they are the product of a society that was brought up based on these lying values. Through these lies they have closed the truth of killing many innocent people in Iraq, their own soldiers fighting lost causes there, torturing prisoners-of-war, using toxins and chemicals in their warfare and capturing Muslims in secret hideouts, which in turn showed that their intelligence have failed and their failures in Iraq and Afghanistan. And they have not yet spread these ideologies to conquer / destroy the rest of the world if they had the guile as well.

Since birth till they are adults, they were taught to lie and together with other liars, they are entrusted to create more lies. This is normal in their society and an integral part of a society's function. How is it that someone in this society can be trusted? And how can we believe a race that is based on lies?

Islam teaches us that telling a lie is a sin and not a reflection of a pious person. That is why Islamic teachings are meant to give assurances that children are not subjected to life concepts that are useless and do not exist like the Western way. They are not taught stories that do not have any relations to fiction. They are taught from the Syariah's perspective. They are taught based on faith and its role in life. They are taught the history of Islam which is in line with the reality in life and not like those created by Hollywood. They will be taught facts and not wrong ideas. Education in Islam is free from lies and deceit. This will produce responsible individuals who can be trusted and be afraid of no others except Allah Almighty.

A Muslim's personality is someone who is respected and honorable in that he is known to speak the truth. This is why a true Muslim is someone who not only refrains from telling lies, but ensures that the truth is always upheld in his surroundings.

14 insurgent suspects detained in South

14 insurgent suspects detained in South
Bangkok Post

NARATHIWAT – The police detained 14 suspected insurgents and seized weapons in a series of raids in this southern border province on Wednesday.

Pol. Col. Jatuporn Klamphasut led a team to search nine locations in Sungai Padi and Cho Ai Rong districts after receiving intelligence that the places were being used as hideouts for militants.

Police detained 14 suspects and seized a number of items, including six firearms and ammunition, two chain saws, explosive devices, and Malaysian currency worth several thousand baht.

All the suspects underwent forensic tests to determine possible links with earlier insurgent activities. The police will examine the tests and forensic evidence collected from crime scenes, Col. Jatuporn said.

The suspects denied any involvement in insurgent attacks. If the investigation shows that they are not involved in the attacks, they will be released, he said.

However, anyone found to be connected with the insurgency will be sent to an army camp for further investigation, he added. (TNA)

U.S. intel warns al-Qaida has rebuilt

2007-07-13T18:03:00.001+08:00

Allahu akbar!!! Mereka sangkakan Al-Qaeda dan sekutu-sekutunya telah lumpuh. Namun mereka tidak sedar diam-diam ubi berisi. Sama-samalah kita mendoakan agar kebangkitan ini diredhai Allah SWT. Amin! Ya robbal 'alamin…

U.S. intel warns al-Qaida has rebuilt
By KATHERINE SHRADER and MATTHEW LEE,
Associated Press Writers
12 July 2007

WASHINGTON - U.S. intelligence analysts have concluded al-Qaida has rebuilt its operating capability to a level not seen since just before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, The Associated Press has learned.

The conclusion suggests that the network that launched the most devastating terror attack on the United States has been able to regroup along the Afghan-Pakistani border despite nearly six years of bombings, war and other tactics aimed at crippling it. Still, numerous government officials say they know of no specific, credible threat of a new attack on U.S. soil.

A counterterrorism official familiar with a five-page summary of the new government threat assessment called it a stark appraisal to be discussed at the White House on Thursday as part of a broader meeting on an upcoming National Intelligence Estimate.

The official and others spoke on condition of anonymity because the secret report remains classified.

Counterterrorism analysts produced the document, titled "Al-Qaida better positioned to strike the West." The document focuses on the terror group's safe haven in Pakistan and makes a range of observations about the threat posed to the United States and its allies, officials said.

Al-Qaida is "considerably operationally stronger than a year ago" and has "regrouped to an extent not seen since 2001," the official said, paraphrasing the report's conclusions. "They are showing greater and greater ability to plan attacks in Europe and the United States."

The group also has created "the most robust training program since 2001, with an interest in using European operatives," the official quoted the report as saying.

At the same time, this official said, the report speaks of "significant gaps in intelligence" so U.S. authorities may be ignorant of potential or planned attacks.

John Kringen, who heads the CIA's analysis directorate, echoed the concerns about al-Qaida's resurgence during testimony and conversations with reporters at a House Armed Services Committee hearing on Wednesday.

"They seem to be fairly well settled into the safe haven and the ungoverned spaces of Pakistan," Kringen testified. "We see more training. We see more money. We see more communications. We see that activity rising."

The threat assessment comes as the 16 U.S. intelligence agencies prepare a National Intelligence Estimate focusing on threats to the United States. A senior intelligence official, who spoke on condition of anonymity while the high-level analysis was being finalized, said the document has been in the works for roughly two years.

Kringen and aides to National Intelligence Director Mike McConnell would not comment on the details of that analysis. "Preparation of the estimate is not a response to any specific threat," McConnell's spokesman Ross Feinstein said, adding that it would probably be ready for distribution this summer.

Counterterrorism officials have been increasingly concerned about al-Qaida's recent operations. This week, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said he had a "gut feeling" that the United States faced a heightened risk of attack this summer.

Kringen said he wouldn't attach a summer time frame to the concern. In studying the threat, he said he begins with the premise that al-Qaida would consider attacking the U.S. a "home run hit" and that the easiest way to get into the United States would be through Europe.

The new threat assessment puts particular focus on Pakistan, as did Kringen.

"Sooner or later you have to quit permitting them to have a safe haven" along the Afghan-Pakistani border, he told the House committee. "At the end of the day, when we have had success, it is when you've been able to get them worried about who was informing on them, get them worried about who was coming after them."

Several European countries — among them Britain, Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands — are also highlighted in the threat assessment partly because they have arrangements with the Pakistani government that allow their citizens easier access to Pakistan than others, according to the counterterrorism official.

This is more troubling because all four are part of the U.S. visa waiver program, and their citizens can enter the United States without additional security scrutiny, the official said.

The report also notes that al-Qaida has increased its public statements, although analysts stressed that those video and audio messages aren't reliable indicators of the actions the group may take.

The Bush administration has repeatedly cited al-Qaida as a key justification for continuing the fight in Iraq.

"The No. 1 enemy in Iraq is al-Qaida," White House press secretary Tony Snow said Wednesday. "Al-Qaida continues to be the chief organizer of mayhem within Iraq, the chief organization for killing innocent Iraqis."

The findings could bolster the president's hand at a moment when support on Capitol Hill for the war is eroding and the administration is struggling to defend its decision for a military buildup in Iraq. A progress report that the White House is releasing to Congress this week is expected to indicate scant progress on the political and military benchmarks set for Iraq.

The threat assessment says that al-Qaida stepped up efforts to "improve its core operational capability" in late 2004 but did not succeed until December of 2006 after the Pakistani government signed a peace agreement with tribal leaders that effectively removed government military presence from the northwest frontier with Afghanistan.

The agreement allows Taliban and al-Qaida operatives to move across the border with impunity and establish and run training centers, the report says, according to the official.

It also says that al-Qaida is particularly interested in building up the numbers in its middle ranks, or operational positions, so there is not as great a lag in attacks when such people are killed.

"Being No. 3 in al-Qaida is a bad job. We regularly get to the No. 3 person," Tom Fingar, the top U.S. intelligence analyst, told the House panel.

The counterterror official said the report does not focus on al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, his whereabouts or his role in the terrorist network. Officials say al-Qaida has become more like a "family-oriented" mob organization with leadership roles in cells and other groups being handed from father to son, or cousin to uncle.

Yet bin Laden's whereabouts are still of great interest to intelligence agencies. Although he has not been heard from for some time, Kringen said officials believe he is still alive and living under the protection of tribal leaders in the border area.

Armed Services Committee members expressed frustration that more was not being done to get bin Laden and tamp down activity in the tribal areas. The senior intelligence analysts tried to portray the difficulty of operating in the area despite a $25 million bounty on the head of bin Laden and his top deputy.

"They are in an environment that is more hostile to us than it is to al-Qaida," Fingar said.

Apa Ertinya Syahid?

2007-06-21T07:09:00.001+08:00

Telah diriwayatkan oleh Nawawi [dari Sharh Sahih Muslim (1/515) dan Al-Majmu' (1/277)] 7 perkara yang seorang yang mati boleh dianggap Syahid:

1) Kerana Allah & Rasulullah telah menjanjikan kemasukan terus ke Jannah.
2) Kerana dia hidup di sisi Tuhannya.
3) Kerana ribuan para malaikat berderet menyaksikan pengambilan rohnya.
4) Kerana di Hari Qiamat dia akan ditanggungjawabkan disoal jawab ke atas negara-negara.
5) Kerana keteguhan iman dan husnul khatimah yang disaksikan dengan nyata.
6) Kerana darahnya telah menjadi salah satu saksinya.
7) Kerana rohnya dengan cepat melihat Jannah.

Ibn Hajr telah menyebut 14 perkara yang boleh membuat seseorang kecapi darjat itu, diantaranya terbunuh di jalan Allah dan diantaranya bukan. [Lihat Fath Al-Bari (6/43)]

Para ulama' dan imam2 besar juga telah mendefinasikan makna Syahid, di antaranya:

Menurut Mazhab Hanafi:

"Seseorang yang dibunuh kaum musyrikin ataupun terbunuh dalam sebarang peperangan dengan mempunyai kesan luka, di luar ataupun di dalam, seperti darah mengalir dari kelopak mata dan sebagainya" [Al-'Inayah menukil dari pendapat Fath al-Qadeer (2/142) and Hashiyat Ibn 'Abideen (2/268)]

Menurut Mazhab Maliki:

"Seseorang yang dibunuh sewaktu melawan kaum Musyrikin, dibunuh di tanah Islam walaupun dalam keadaan tidak sedar atau tertidur, atau terbunuh oleh seseorang Muslim yang menyalah sangka bahawa beliau seorang Kafir, atau dipijak seekor kuda ataupun terbunuh dengan senjatanya sendiri ataupun mati terjatuh dalam perigi atau dari lereng bukit ketika berlawanan dengan musuh." [Dardeer's Al-Sharh al-Kabeer, (1/425)]

Menurut Mazhab Shafi`i:

"Seseorang yang dibunuh kafir laknat, menghadap musuh dan tidak melarikan diri kerana menegakkan kalimah Allah dan bukan kerana nikmat duniawi." [Mughni al-Muhtaj (1/350) dan Fath al-Bari (6/129)]

Menurut Mazhab Hambali:

"Seseorang yang mati dalam peperangan dengan kafir laknatullah, tidak kira lelaki atau wanita, walaupun dibunuh oleh mereka ataupun terbunuh kerana tertikam diri sendiri, ataupun terjatuh dari kedudukan perangnya, ataupun dijumpa mati tanpa sebarang kesan luka, dengan niat ikhlas." [Kash-shaf al-Qina`, 2/113. Lihat juga Al-Mughni (2/206)]

Definasi Membunuh Diri

Membunuh diri di sini melambangkan membunuh diri sendiri kerana marah, dalam kesakitan ataupun kerana maksud yang berunsur duniawi. Para alim ulama' telah sebulat suara menyatakan bahawa ia diharamkan dan dianggap dosa besar, mendekatkan si pelaku dengan Neraka Jahannam.

"Diantara mereka sebelum kamu, terdapat seorang lelaki yang terluka dan dalam kesakitan. Beliau mengeluarkan pisau dan memotong tangannya. Darah mengalir tanpa henti sehingga lah beliau mati. Allah berkata: Hambaku mempercepatkan ajalnya, maka Aku haramkan Syurga baginya." (Bukhari & Muslim)

"Sesiapa yang mencekik dirinya, dia akan mencekik dirinya dalam Api Neraka, dan sesiapa yang menikam dirinya akan menikam dirinya dalam Neraka juga." (Bukhari & Muslim)

Kesemua ini adalah contoh membunuh diri kerana kesakitan, kesedihan ataupun kurang sabar dan bukan menegakkan kalimah Allah. Kita mengatakan bahawa membunuh diri itu diharamkan kerana kurang iman, manakala seorang Mujahid dalam operasi syahid membunuh dirinya kerana kekuatan imannya. Rasulullah SAW sendiri telah meminta dimatikan dalam perjalanan menuju ke jalan Allah bukan sekali, malah tiga kali. Ini dibolehkan bukan kerana ingin perkara buruk mendatanginya tapi atas dasar keimanan. Sekiranya rasional di sebalik penharaman membunuh diri menjadi lebih jelas, seseorang akan mengetahui bahawa operasi syahid adalah dibolehkan dan boleh dibanggakan kerana menegakkan ugama.

Sinopsis

Kami telah sampai ke konklusi di mana operasi mujahid itu dibolehkan dan seorang Mujahid yang terbunuh sewaktu melakukannya adalah lebih baik dari terbunuh sewaktu berperang kerana ada beberapa darjat dalam kematian syahid berdasarkan beberapa faktor seperti tugas yang dilakukan, kesungguhan dan nekad yang diambil. Kemudian kami telah menerangkan bahawa operasi Mujahid lebih murah dilaksanakan tetapi paling berharga bagi pihak musuh dari segi kerosakan dan korban nyawa. Operasi syahid wajib dilaksanakan sekiranya perkara-perkara ini wujud:

1) Niat seseorang itu tulus dan suci untuk menegakkan kalimah Allah.
2) Seseorang itu benar-benar percaya hasil perbuatannya tidak dapat diraih dengan cara lain yang dapat menjamin nyawanya diselamatkan.
3) Seseorang itu benar-benar percaya bahawa pihak musuh akan merasa amat takut atau ditewaskan ataupun darjat orang-orang Islam dinaikkan.
4) Seseorang itu seharusnya meminta pendapat pakar-pakar strategi perang, kalau tidak dia mungkin akan merosakkan rancangan dan memberi isyarat yang tidak dijangka kepada pihak musuh.

Sekiranya kondisi pertama tidak ditepati, perbuatan ini hanya sia-sia sahaja. Namun sekiranya ia dilakukan tetapi kondisi yang lain tidak ditepati, ia bukanlah yang terbaik. Tetapi ini tak bermakna beliau tidak mati syahid.

Akhir sekali kami telah menyatakan bahawa mengambil nyawa sendiri tidak selalunya dipersalahkan, kerana harus dilihat dari sudut motif dan alasan di sebaliknya. Jadi kita membuat konklusi bahawa sesiapa yang membunuh dirinya atas dasar kekuatan iman, cinta kepada Allah dan Rasulullah (SAW) dan demi menegakkan agama, adalah dibanggakan.

Indonesian police say JI head captured

JAKARTA (AFP) - Indonesian police said Friday they had captured the head of Southeast Asian extremist network Jemaah Islamiyah, blamed for some of the deadliest terror attacks in the region.

They said Zarkasi had been heading the militant Muslim outfit since 2004 and that he had been seized in raids last weekend which also netted the alleged head of a JI special forces unit.

The capture of Zarkasi, who is also known as Mbah which means grandfather in Javanese, is a further blow to JI, an Al-Qaeda-linked organisation that aims to create a pan-Islamic state in Southeast Asia through violent jihad.

"Zarkasi controlled JI operations across the whole of Indonesia," said Surya Dharma, head of the country's anti-terror unit, Detachment 88.

He said the 45-year-old militant was in charge of training JI leaders, controlling weapons and ammunition, and managing assignments for attacks.

Sidney Jones, a JI expert and the Southeast Asian director of the International Crisis Group, told AFP that Zarkasi was from "the real first important generation of JI".

JI is a shadowy organisation and information about who is who within the group, and what roles they play, is scarce.

The anti-terror chief Dharma said Zarkasi was nabbed in Indonesia's cultural capital of Yogyakarta a few hours after the capture of 37-year-old Abu Dujana, named as the head of a special forces unit within JI.

Dujana's capture alone was considered to be a major breakthrough for Indonesia's efforts to curb the activities of the group, blamed for the 2002 Bali bombings, which killed 202 people -- mostly westerners -- and a string of other attacks on western or Christian targets.

Terrorism expert Rohan Gunaratna told AFP that the capture of the two men meant that "the military wing of JI, and JI as an organisation, has suffered very significantly.

" In video footage aired at the press conference, the pair spoke calmly of their roles in the organisation.

A bespectacled and greying Zarkasi said he had become the effective leader of JI in 2004 when it had created a "board" at its peak, while a wiry, moustachioed Dujana said he had headed the organisation's military wing.

Zarkasi said he had only been leader while the organisation searched for "a real leader so that (we) are guided in performing our religion in a good way, either by faith propagation or in jihad (holy war)... "We are continuing to look for a good amir (leader), the real one," he added.

Raids in Yogyakarta in March, in which one militant was shot dead and seven others arrested, had led police to charts mapping the structure of JI, which showed that a board governed the group.

At the time, Dharma said, they were sure the board existed but they didn't know who sat on it.

The raids led to a major seizure of bombs and weapons, which police said would have been used in future atrocities.

The anti-terror chief said JI was still in existence -- even though no bombings blamed on them have occurred since October 2005 -- and that members had been "building a network by recruitment, training and stockpiling weapons and ready-to-use bombs."

He said Dujana, whom police announced they had captured on Wednesday, refused to reveal the whereabouts of Noordin Muhammad Top, a Malaysian fugitive.

"Even though (Dujana and Noordin) are in different structures, Dujana will not betray him by revealing his whereabouts," he said.

Noordin is another of Indonesia's most wanted men. He is believed to have formed a splinter group intent on launching more attacks after some JI members were unhappy that some Muslims had been killed in JI operations.

Speaking by telephone from the United States, expert Gunaratna said that it was only "a question of time for Detachment 88 to hunt down other high-value targets" including Noordin.

JI is also accused of carrying out the 2003 Marriott Hotel and 2004 Australian embassy attacks in the capital Jakarta as well as a triple suicide bombing in Bali in 2005.

Singapore busts homegrown terrorists

The Home Affairs Ministry described the arrest of a 28-year-old law student and lecturer as part of a troubling new phenomenon of Internet-inspired individuals who are "self-radicalised" and not recruited by established terrorist groups.

Abdul Basheer Abdul Kader, 28, is part of what the home affairs ministry called a troubling new phenomenon of "self-radicalised" individuals not directly recruited by established terrorist groups.

The Singapore government arrested the former lawyer, who allegedly tried to join the Taliban in Afghanistan, as well as four members of a Southeast Asian terrorist network, a statement said late Friday.

He was detained under the Internal Security Act (ACT), which allows indefinite incarceration without a trial.

After practicing law with a top firm and later becoming a polytechnic lecturer, Abdul Basheer's militant views were shaped by the Internet, the government statement said. He then left for an unidentified Middle Eastern country to learn Arabic to communicate with mujahadeen fighters.

Soon afterwards, he reportedly bought a plane ticket to Pakistan, where he planned to obtain training for a militant jihad, or holy war, and go into Afghanistan.

His alleged plans were thwarted when he was arrested and detained in February this year.

Four Jemaah Islamiah (JI) members were also nabbed, the ministry said. A fifth was given a restriction order requiring him to obtain approval before changing jobs or going abroad.

All five had been on the run since 2001.

The ministry said that in late 2004 Abdul Basheer began developing "the mindset that he had to wage militant jihad in a land where Muslims were under attack."

"His views were shaped by the radical discourse that he avidly looked up on the Internet," the statement said.

There are currently 34 people detained under the ISA for terrorism activities.

Police arrest aide to Indonesia's most-wanted terrorist

JAKARTA (AP): Authorities arrested a close aide to Indonesia's most-wanted terrorist, police said Sunday, shooting the suspect in the leg as he tried to escape a raid on his hide-out.

"Yusron Ahmahmud was wounded, but is in good condition," national police spokesman Sisno Adiwinoto told The Associated Press. "He is being questioned by police."

"I can confirm he is a close aide to Abu Dujana," he said,referring to the alleged leader of the al-Qaida-linked militant group Jemaah Islamiyah.

The arrest occurred Saturday at a rented house in Kebarongan, a village in Central Java province, Adiwinoto said, adding that he hoped Ahmahmud would help lead police to Dujana. "We think we're getting closer," he said.

His wife, four children and two other men staying at the house were also questioned by police, said local police chief Lt. Col. Suherman, who goes by only one name.

Jemaah Islamiyah has been blamed for a string of terrorist attacks in Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation. Twin nightclub bombings on Bali island in 2002, blasts in Jakarta at theJ.W. Marriott Hotel and the Australian Embassy in 2003 and 2004, and the 2005 restaurant bombings on Bali together killed more than 240 people, many of them foreign tourists.

Harokah Shabab Mujahidin Claims Responsibility for the Assassination of Balad Weyn's Chief of Police

In the name of Allah, Most Merciful and Most Kind,

All praises to Allah, God of all lands and galaxies, and praises to our Prophet Muhammad, his family and friends…

Dear brethren,

Your brothers in Harokah Shabab Mujahidin in Somalia, through Allah's strength and blessings, have succeeded in assassinating Shaikh Muhammad Musa Da'ali, the Chief of Police in Balad Weyn, who was controlled by an infidel Government.

This apostate was known for his hatred for Muslims, he had shown his loyalty towards the territorial leader Yusuf Tabi Jaid, who aligns himself with a group called "Terrorism Destroyers".

Your Mujahidin brothers also bombed a police station in the Harwa district and with Allah's permission, succeeded in killing and injuring other Kuffar in the Blak Se area this evening.

And your brothers in Harakah Shabab Mujahidin are still strong in their approach, moving forward and doing Jihad towards colonial rule and the Kuffar so that Allah's words will be exalted without any lies and show that the religion is all HIS.

God is Great!!!

Your brother,

Announcement of Mullah Dadullah's Successor

2007-05-25T00:57:00.001+08:00

The spokesperson of Imaroh Islam Afghanistan, Shohabuddien Atal, announced that the late Mullah Dadullah's replacement is his younger brother Dadullah Mansur. He added that the attacks during the summer will continue without Mullah Dadullah as the mujahidin in Afghanistan do not want his martyrdom to lose their drive.

Mullah Mansur is the mujahidin who was released last March in exchange for Italian journalist Daniele Mastrogiacomo, who was abducted by the mujahidin. Mullah Atal added that the Taliban have captured the mole who leaked information to the accursed Americans which led to the killing of Mullah Dadullah (may Allah be pleased with him). Mullah Atal said that they will execute the mole who was seen with the late Mullah Dadullah before he passed on, but disappeared when the attacks were made by the Americans, only to reappear again much later.

Syukur Alhamdulillah ke atas Tuhan semesta alam dan selawat dan salam bagi junjungan besar kita Nabi Muhammad SAW, serta kaum keluarga dan sahabat handainya sekelian.

Ucapan tahniah diucapkan buat kaum Islam di atas syahidnya salah seorang simbol Jihad yang terulung, yang bukan saja menentang musuh-musuh Islam dengan lidahnya malah dengan senjata. Beliau menjawab seruan Allah, beliaulah salah satu Singa Allah "Mullah Dadullah", semoga Allah mencucuri rahmat ke atas rohnya. Amin…

Siapakah Mullah Dadullah?

Beliau berjuang dalam Jihad Afghanistan pertama menentang penjajah Russia dan juga mempunyai kuasa atasan pabila menentang pejuang-pejuang Crusade di tanah Islam di Afghanistan. Beliau impikan syahid dan dambakan kemenangan di Akhirat bukan di Duniawi.

Semoga Allah menempatkan beliau di kalangan orang-orang yang telah Syahid sebelum ini di dalam Syurga yang berpangkat tinggi… Amin ya rabbal 'alamin…

No Honour Without Islam

2007-04-27T01:48:00.001+08:00

What an akhi wrote, "Tiada Kemuliaan Tanpa Islam"

"No Honour Without Islam "

The 2nd Caliph of Islam, Umar Bin Khattab, one of the Prophet's (pbuh) closest friends, once said, "We are the people who Allah have granted honour through Islam and if we were to seek other sources of honour other than Islam, Allah will condemn us."

The saying basically means there is no honour, strength, power, pride, and exalt without Islam. And for those who sought them other than Islam, then Allah will curse and shame us in the world and hereafter.

Those who are true Muslims are granted special incentives in the hereafter, in that they get to see the beauty and face of Allah. For the non-Muslims and those who proclaim to be Muslims but behave otherwise, their destination is only to the fires of Hell and they will not be able to see what the true Muslims would be seeing.

It is a sad fact seeing Muslims in the West (and the East) continuing to vote and be in awe of non-Muslims in power. They believe hook, line and sinker on the empty promises made by these leaders. Allah has shamed some of these people in power with endless scandals and corruptions, yet they are still held in high regards by the people who vote for their existence.

Are the Muslims going to continue supporting these people in power, exalting them and hero-worship them in the hope of attaining similar wealth and power??? Are they the ones who will lead these Muslims to Paradise in the Hereafter??? Are they fit to be leaders and liberate the other Muslim nations from poverty, war and chaos??? How many mujahidin have suffered at the hands of these people???

Penipuan Di Sebalik Pengeboman Rumah Allah…

2007-04-06T01:43:00.000+08:00

Saya ingin menumpukan perhatian antum semua tentang berita ini. Apabila kita mendengar serangan "terroris" di Iraq, kemungkinan besar pihak orang-orang Kafir yang bertanggungjawab menyebabkan ketegangan. Ambil contoh, askar-askar British menyamar diri sebagai pejuang-pejuang Iraq agar menyebabkan kerosakan. Jadi kemungkinan pengeboman yang berlaku terhadap masjid-masjid orang-orang Ahlussunnah atau Syi'ah adalah perbuatan askar-askar US atau British sebenarnya. Wallahu'alam bissawab...

British special forces caught dressed as Arab 'terrorists'

British soldiers have been caught posing as Arabs and shooting Iraqis in the occupied city of Basra in southern Iraq. A group of them was caught yesterday by Iraqi police. They were driving an Iraqi car, wearing Arab clothing, and carrying weapons and explosives.

The Iraqi police were patrolling the area looking for suspected "terrorists" or "insurgents", and they noticed that the men were acting suspiciously. Suddenly, without warning, the suspicious men started shooting at people, but the new Iraqi security forces managed to capture some of them before they could escape. Obviously, if these men had not been caught, the mass media would now be reporting the incident as just another attempt by evil "terrorists" to create civil war in Iraq.

There have been a number of incidents in this area and throughout Iraq in which police and civilians have been targeted and killed by "terrorists" or "insurgents". But this is the first time that any of those responsible have been caught in the act, and it is now clear that at least some of them are working directly for the occupying forces, as many Iraqis have openly suspected all along.

A few days ago, in a statement unreported in the corporate mass media, Iran's most senior military official specifically linked the instability in Iraq with agents of the US and its allies: "we have information that the insecurity has its roots in the activities of American and Israeli spies."

The post-war violence in Iraq is always been blamed on "Islamic extremists" or "rival ethnic factions". Yet in the history of the country, nothing like this has ever happened before. The problems began precisely when the US and UK seized control.

The Iraqi police arrested the men and put them in prison. Unfortunately the police never had a chance to question the men and find out exactly what they were doing, because within minutes the UK sent in six tanks and an elite SAS unit to break their terrorists out of jail.

During the illegal prison break Iraqi officials were held at gunpoint, much of the jail was demolished, and all of the other criminals and insurgents were set free. The US and UK do not hesitate to use violence and terror to achieve their objectives, no matter what the consequences.

The official explanation for the illegal jail break is that somebody thought the British men might be taken away by a gang of Iraqi resistance fighters and never seen again. This is blatantly nonsense, of course, because the entire prison was entirely surrounded by British tanks and troops. With the full force of the British military at hand, the terrorists were rescued quickly and easily.

As further details emerge, the Western media increasingly presents conflicting reports about the nature and sequence of events, and the official British sources cited without question in mainstream news coverage are indicative of a classic disinformation exercise.

When local people saw what was happening the area began to erupt with angry anti-British protests.

British tanks storm Basra jail to free undercover soldiers

British troops used tanks last night to break down the walls of a prison in the southern Iraqi city of Basra and free two undercover British soldiers who were seized earlier in the day by local police.

An official from the Iraqi interior ministry said half a dozen tanks had broken down the walls of the jail and troops had then stormed it to free the two British soldiers. The governor of Basra last night condemned the "barbaric aggression" of British forces in storming the jail.

Aquil Jabbar, an Iraqi television cameraman who lives across the street from the jail, said dozens of Iraqi prisoners also fled in the confusion.
    ...

In a day of dramatic incidents in the heart of the British-controlled area of Iraq, the two undercover soldiers - almost certainly special forces - were held by Iraqi security forces after clashes that reportedly left two people dead and threatened to escalate into a diplomatic incident between London and Baghdad.

The soldiers, who were said to have been wearing Arab headdress, were accused of firing at Iraqi police when stopped at a road block.
    ...

Muhammad al-Abadi, an official in the Basra governorate, told journalists the two undercover soldiers had looked suspicious to police. "A policeman approached them and then one of these guys fired at him. Then the police managed to capture them."

Keamanan Setelah Masjid Dibom?

2007-03-18T03:13:00.000+08:00

Mereka sangkakan bahawa dengan mengebom masjid di Yaha di wilayah Yala, penduduk-penduduk Islam di sana akan mudah memakan janji-janji untuk meleraikan ketegangan dan memberi keamanan di sana. Mereka sangkakan rumah Allah yang suci itu ibarat sebuah bangunan biasa yang boleh dilunturkan begitu saja. Selagi tiada yang mahu bertanggungjawab atas serangan itu, Selatan Thailand akan tetap menjadi medan pertempuran antara kaum Muslimin dan pemerintah kafir.

Thailand says killings won't derail peace push
by Boonradom Chitradon

Thailand's premier on Thursday warned of escalating bloodshed in the Muslim south following the brutal deaths of 12 people, as the military imposed a curfew in two of the most violent districts.

Surayud Chulanont conceded that the deaths Wednesday of three Muslims in a bomb attack and nine Buddhists, shot execution-style after an ambush on their bus, marked a deterioration of the situation in the south.

But he vowed to push ahead with his non-violent approach to the separatist conflict, which has killed at least 2,000 people in the Muslim-majority provinces bordering Malaysia since January 2004.

"I predict that the violence will get worse ... but we cannot solve the problem with anger," the prime minister told reporters.

"I will not reconcile with the ones who broke the law, but I will talk with reasonable people. We will solve the southern unrest only with peaceful means."

The massacre of nine Buddhist commuters in Yaha district, Yala province, and the bombings there of a mosque and a teashop, which killed three Muslims and injured 22, prompted the authorities to slap a curfew on the area.

"Curfew has been declared from 8:00 pm to 4:00 am in the districts of Yaha and Banang Sata, and effective today," army spokesman Colonel Acar Tiproch said.

Both districts are in Yala province, which has suffered the brunt of recent attacks.

Authorities also imposed restrictions on residents throughout three troubled provinces of Yala, Narathiwat and Pattani, banning civilians from using walkie-talkies or dressing in clothes that resemble military uniforms.

The worsening insurgency by Islamic separatists has provoked outrage across Thailand, with groups holding protests over the recent attacks.

The violence continued Thursday, with a Buddhist man shot dead at a rubber processing plant in Narathiwat province.

Some 2,000 people, mostly Buddhists, rallied in front of Narathiwat provincial hall to denounce the minibus slayings and offer support to the relatives of the victims.

In Yaha district, about 100 Muslim women and children protested outside a police station to urge authorities to hunt down those behind the mosque bombing.

Prime Minister Surayud, installed after a coup overthrew Thaksin Shinawatra last year, said Interior Minister Aree Wongariya, a Muslim, would visit the south to help improve relations with residents.

The premier has made mending relations and finding a peaceful way to end the unrest a priority, apologising to Muslims for past abuses and offering to hold talks with rebels -- a reversal of Thaksin's heavy-handed tactics.

One of the main problems the government faces is the shadowy nature of the insurgency. No rebel group operating in the south has claimed responsibility for any of the attacks or laid out any specific demands.

Surayud admitted that the government still had little idea about who was behind the violence.

"I cannot say how many of them there are since we don't know who are the leaders or masterminds," he said.

Kenyataan Terbaru Sheikh Al-Zawahiri

2007-02-16T18:18:00.000+08:00

Ternyata bahagian yang baik apabila beliau mengatakan Bush seorang pemabuk, kaki pembohong dan kaki judi. Sifat pembohong ini sememangnya telah kita ketahui apabila beliau cuba menipu rakyatnya tentang kemenangan mereka di Afghanistan dan Iraq. Dia disifatkan "Kaki Judi" kerana bermotivasikan pertaruhan merugikan sehingga beliau muflis, sama juga seperti keadaan di Iraq di mana setiap nyawa askar Amerika dibunuh oleh para Mujahidin di sana. Sheikh Al-Zawahiri memberi amaran kepada Bush dan sekutu-sekutunya bahawa mereka bukan memerangi individu atau sebarang kumpulan tetapi intifada jihad dari api kemarahan ummah, dan kini telah tiba kedatangan era Jihad dan Mujahidin. Sheikh Al-Zawahiri juga mengirim salam ke atas singa-singa Islam di Filipina dan Indonesia. Beliau juga berterima kasih kepada pihak media Jihad Islamiyah kerana melunturkan penipuan dari pihak Kristian dan Yahudi sekaligus menyatukan ummah.

Tremendous Lessons and Events In the Year 1427 AH

by Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri

As-Sahab Media

Muharram 1428 AH / February 2007 CE

In the name of Allah, and all praise is due to Allah, and may peace and prayers be on the Messenger of Allah and on his family, companions and allies.

Muslim brothers everywhere: peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.

A year has passed and a new year has arrived in the emigration of the Chosen One (peace be upon him), and I ask Allah, the Most High, the One who Decrees, to make it a year of conquest and victory, with His help.
The past year has witnessed tremendous lessons and events, and the Muslim Ummah’s awareness has increased due to the realities which have been revealed to it and the masks which have fallen away before its eyes. And perhaps the beginning of the new year provides an opportunity for us to focus on some of the important events of the past 12 months.

Among the most important of these events is Bush being forced to admit his failure in Iraq and admit the escalation and growth of the Students’ Jihadi resistance in Afghanistan, after continuing to be stubborn as usual and repeating the lie which he became addicted to, that he is winning in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Bush suffers from an addictive personality, and was an alcoholic. I don’t know his present condition (Americans know best about that, as they are experts in alcohol and addiction to it), but the one who examines his personality finds that he is addicted to two other faults: lying and gambling. As regards lying, his record is well known, and he has gone down in history as one of its most notorious liars. As for his addiction to gambling, it motivates him to continue to place losing bets until he goes completely bankrupt, which is the obvious psychological motivation behind his Iraq policy. And were the Americans to leave him alone, he would continue to send their forces to Iraq until the Mujahideen kill the last one of their soldiers.

And if Bush is addicted to drinking, lying and gambling, then the American people are the ones who chose him twice, out of greed for the Muslims’ treasures and in animosity to them. That’s why the intelligent person does not absolve them, the British people and all peoples of the Crusader Alliance from responsibility, for they are the ones who elected Bush, Blair and their allies, and supported them in their aggression against Afghanistan and Iraq. However, I call their attention – if they are paying attention – to two critical matters which have imposed their presence on the ground, by the Grace of God.

The first matter is that you are not facing individuals or organizations, but are facing the Jihadi Intifada of the angry, alert Muslim Ummah. Therefore, you are just wasting your time and effort by claiming to seek to eliminate this person or that or such-and-such group or organization.

And the second matter is that the era of your allies has passed, and the era of Jihad and the Mujahideen has dawned. And if you continue with your current policies, you shall – God willing – be defeated in Afghanistan and Iraq in the near future, which will alert the Mujahid Muslim forces to escalate their confrontation of you. And with every delay you make in resorting to wise and realistic policies, your losses will increase and you will continue to place the losing bets which will lead – God willing – to total bankruptcy and failure. And you will then resemble the stubborn patient who, stricken with cancer, refuses to heed the advice of the surgeon, and with every day he delays, his chances for recovery decrease. And who knows? Perhaps this stubbornness and insistence on losing gambles is God’s punishment of you for your crimes against humanity. The Truth, Exalted is He, says, “If Allah decrees misguidance and punishment for someone, you can be of no help to him with Allah.” (5:41)

So pay attention before it’s too late, and beware of Bush’s losing gambler’s lie which claims that he, with the corpses of your killed and limbs of your wounded, is spreading democracy around the world. I and millions like me are witnesses to the atrocities of America and its agents, witnesses to the torture, political and financial corruption, rigging of elections, moral degeneration, theft of resources, and indeed, combating of Islam which America’s democracy is spreading in our countries.

As for the Democrats in America, I tell them:

The people chose you due to your opposition to Bush’s policy in Iraq, but it appears that you are marching with him to the same abyss, and it appears that you will take part with him in the defeat and certain failure, with God’s permission. And the American people shall discover that you are all one side of the same coin of tyranny, criminality and failure; that failure which – by the grace of God – has neutralized the endeavors of the traitors who entered Kabul and Baghdad on the backs of American tanks, and has dashed their hopes as they see the Mujahideen come closer and closer to victory, which has led them to urgently appeal to America for help and implore it to continue to occupy their lands and raise the banners of the Cross over their heads.

These traitors in Iraq and Afghanistan must face their inevitable fate, and face up to the inescapable facts. America – which was transformed from the “Great Satan” into the “Closest Ally” – is about to depart and abandon them, just as it abandoned their like in Vietnam.

If the Mujahideen have – by the grace of God – broken the back of America, will its agents hold their own against them in the absence of America? And if tanks and planes were of no help to America, what, for the traitors, will take the place of the foreign aid and backing?

As for the states which colluded with the Crusaders in their invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, they must reap their bitter harvest, as it has become clear to the Muslim Ummah the extent of the hypocrisy and deceit which they repeated and the extent of the treachery they committed as they stabbed the Muslim Ummah in its back in pursuit of cheap booty and illegitimate earnings, and so incurred Divine punishment. The Exalted says, “Verily, Allah does not allow the deeds of those who make mischief to prosper.” (10:81)
And these countries must know that America doesn’t thank anyone for serving it, and there is a lesson for them in the fate of the Shah and final days of Arafat.

Everyone who participated with the Americans in their Crusade, whether hirelings, religion-traders or rulers, must be aware that they won’t be facing the lions of Jihad in Afghanistan and Iraq only, but are about to face – with Allah’s permission – a Muslim Ummah revitalized by Jihad, and a Muslim Ummah angry and flaming with rage after it was shown their betrayals and crimes.

The long beards, huge turbans, majestic titles, purported lineages and popular myths are no substitute for the truth and cannot conceal the crimes of cooperation with the Crusaders, loyalty to the infidel invaders and killing of the Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan; those crimes which the Muslim Ummah knows who committed and which shall detonate a volcano of Islamic rage against the charlatans who claim to defend Islam.

And as part of their charlatanism in the name of Islam – and out of desire for illegitimate earnings from America – some have tried to differentiate between the crimes of America in one region and those in another. Thus, in one place, America is called the “Great Satan”, while elsewhere, they consider it to be the “Great Ally” and beg it not to withdraw its troops. As for the people of faith and Jihad, the people of steadfastness and Ribat, and the people of sincerity and loyalty, they are confronting America’s Crusade in every corner of the Islamic world, with Allah’s help and power. They are confronting it in Chechnya, the Philippines, Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon, the Arabian Peninsula, Egypt, Somalia, Algeria, and everywhere the Crusaders and Zionists have desecrated the lands of Islam with their feet.
And they are following the statement of the Truth, Glory to Him, “And fight the polytheists all together as they fight you all together. And know that Allah is with the God-fearing.” (9:36)

And they are acting on His statement, “You shall not find any people who believe in Allah and the Last Day loving those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, even if they be their fathers, or their sons, or their brothers, or their clan. For such He has written faith in their hearts and strengthened them with a spirit from Himself. And He will admit them to Gardens beneath which rivers flow, to dwell therein for eternity. Allah will be well pleased with them, and they with Him. They are the party of Allah. Truly, it is the party of Allah that will achieve success.” (58:22)

The American project in Lebanon is the same as the American project in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the Gulf states, Algeria and Somalia. There is no difference. And those who cooperate with the Zionist Crusade in Lebanon is a traitor to Allah, His Prophet (peace be upon him) and his righteous companions and purified family (with whom Allah was pleased). And the same goes for those who cooperate with them in Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Egypt, the Peninsula and elsewhere. There is no difference between treason here and treason there, except in the minds of those who seek to deceive the Ummah and demand it to surrender to America and Israel, to comply with dubious deals and acquire sinful earnings.

And the ones who claim that confronting the Zionist Crusade in Lebanon is Jihad whereas confronting it in Iraq is strife and foolishness are the real instigators of strife: “Verily, they have fallen into sin.” (9:49). The ones who stirred up strife in Iraq are those who colluded with, agreed with, plotted with and cooperated with the Americans before, during and after the invasion; waged war in defense of them; fought the Mujahideen under their cross; and killed the Muslims to please them. These are the instigators of strife in Iraq and other Islamic lands, who have for so long done business in Islam and shed crocodile tears for it and wept, wailed and lamented, until, when the Crusader/Zionist enemies of Islam attacked their sons and lands, we find them under their banners and in the first ranks with them, attacking, fighting and killing the sons of Abu Bakr, Umar, Ali, Hasan and Husayn (Allah was pleased with them all).

He who claims that the fighting in Iraq is an American plot to create warring sectarian mini-states fools no one with such claims. The entire world knows who it is who cooperated with the Americans in their Crusade, before, during and after the invasion. And everyone knows that the traitorous religion-traders and secular Kurdish parties are the ones who are implementing America’s project to divide the lands of Islam, and that the Mujahideen are the ones who spoiled this plot with Allah’s help, and that the Mujahideen’s Jihad and fighting for Allah’s Word to be supreme is what has defeated America, with Allah’s power and strength, and thwarted the efforts of those who beg it to stay.

My Muslim Ummah: there are doctrinal and legal taboos which, if committed, call into question the legitimacy of any group claiming to belong to Islam.
Agreeing to the rule of something other than Shari’ah; helping the invading enemies of Islam and participating in the entities they create to protect their interests; fighting the Muslims under their banner and in defense of them; accepting the resolutions and accords which tear away parts of the Islamic lands, or prohibit Jihad and allow the presence of foreign forces in the lands of Islam: any one of these crimes calls into question the legitimacy of any group which commits it.

We, as a Muslim Ummah, must be aware of these pitfalls and beware of those who call to or approve them. And we must confront the international resolutions which are meant to impose on us the will of the Zionist/Crusader West. We must reject all of those resolutions which cut off parts of the lands of Islam and hand them over to its enemies, starting with the resolution to partition Palestine, continuing with Resolution 244, the Camp David, Wadi Arabah, and Oslo accords, and the resolutions to occupy Afghanistan and Iraq, and finishing with Resolution 1701 and the Security Council resolutions for the intrusion of trespasser forces into Darfur and Somalia. All of these resolutions are null and void, and we must confront them and disown those who agree to or approve them.

That’s why I ask my brothers in Islam and Jihad in Lebanon not to give in to Resolution 1701, nor accept the pushing back of the Lebanese border 30 kilometers, nor accept the presence of the international Crusader forces in the south as a barrier between them and Occupied Palestine, even if that resolution is agreed to by all official political forces licensed by the Lebanese government, on the basis of international balances and foreign connections.
The Muslim Ummah and its Mujahid vanguard in Lebanon must be aware that they are standing alone in confronting the Zionist/Crusader project, and they must work to reject Resolution 1701 in word and practice. I know that everyone will stand in their way, because all the official, licensed forces have their foreign connections which steer them as they wish. But the Mujahideen remain by themselves, and they only have Allah. “And Allah is sufficient as a protector, and Allah is sufficient as a helper.” (4:45) I know that the path ahead of them is long, and the mission difficult, but they must begin working now. We can’t possibly accept a resolution which pushes back the Lebanese borders 30 kilometers, imposes the international Crusader presence in Lebanon, outlaws Jihad against the Jews in Palestine and isolates the Mujahideen in Palestine from the Mujahideen outside it.

And as part of the charlatanism in the name of Islam – and out of desire for illegitimate earnings from America – some have claimed that the governments of Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan are protectors of the people of the Sunnah [Prophetic way]. Allah suffices us and He is the best of protectors. Since when are those who helped America to blockade Iraq and kill a million of its children protectors of the people of the Sunnah? Since when are those who supplied the American forces with provisions and materiel, and provided them with bases, airports and storerooms to help them in their attack on Afghanistan and Iraq helpers of the people of the Sunnah? From where did the planes which bombed Afghanistan and Iraq take off? From where did the forces which invaded Iraq set off? Who was it who agreed to the international resolutions to occupy Afghanistan and Iraq? Who was it who recognized the puppet regimes of apostasy and treason in Afghanistan and Iraq? Who was it who pursued and combated everyone who wanted Jihad in Afghanistan and Iraq? Who was it who recognized Israel and approved its usurpation of Palestine? Who is it who tortures and punishes the Mujahideen and sets up secret prisons for America? And who, and who, and who? Yes, they are protectors of the American way, Crusader way and Zionist way. As for the way of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), they are its enemies and the ones who combat it.

The Truth, Blessed and Exalted is He, says, “Let not the believers take for allies unbelievers instead of believers: and whoever does that has no relation with Allah except [if done verbally only] as a precaution to guard yourselves from them. But Allah cautions you [to fear] Him; and the return is to Allah.” (3:28)

And Allah, the Exalted, says, “Let the Hypocrites know that there is for them a grievous chastisement; those who take for friends unbelievers rather than believers. Is it honor they seek from them? Nay, all honor is with Allah.” (4:138-139)

And Allah, the Exalted, says, “O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors: they are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them [for friendship] is of them. Verily Allah guides not a people unjust. You see how those in whose hearts is a disease run about among them, saying, ‘We fear lest a change of fortune bring us disaster.’ But it may be that Allah will give you victory, or a decision from Him, then they will regret the thoughts which they secretly harbored in their hearts. And those who believe will say, ‘Are these the men who swore their strongest oaths by Allah that they were with you?’ All that they do will be in vain, and they will become losers. O you who believe! If any from among you turn back from his faith, Allah will soon produce a people whom He will love as they will love Him; humble with the believers, mighty against the rejecters, fighting in the way of Allah, and never fearing the blame of a blamer. That is the grace of Allah, which He bestows on whom He pleases. And Allah is greatly possessing of grace, All-Knowing. Your allies are Allah, His Messenger, and the believers, those who establish regular prayers and pay Zakat and bow [in worship]. As to those who ally themselves to Allah, His Messenger and the believers, then it is the party of Allah that is triumphant.” (5:51-56)

Among the positions promoted by some is that the Arab states must rush to help the Arabs in Iraq. This is a position which is contradictory for two reasons. The first is that these states have helped no one, Arab or otherwise. And if they really wanted to help the Arabs of Iraq, they would have helped them before the invasion and during it, but instead, they helped the Americans against all peoples of Iraq, Arab and non-Arab, each in his own way. The state from which forces and aircraft didn’t set off had missile launchers set up on his land, while he whom the Americans didn’t honor with that provided their fleets with fuel. And whoever wasn’t honored with this nor with that approved the resolution for the occupation of Iraq and recognized the governments of apostate hirelings there. And their Arab League became a museum for mummified Arab dignity and a home for special occasions whose secretariat exhausts itself merely by trying to bring together their leaders in one room for picture-taking and distribution of smiles.

This is as far as the condition of those states is concerned. As for the point of view of doctrine and Islam, the Muslim Ummah and its Mujahid vanguard do not make alliances and hold animosities on the basis of tribalism and nationalism, nor to help the Arabs against the Persians, or the Kurds against the Arabs, or the Amazight against the Arabs. Rather, Islam commands us to fight for Allah’s Word to be supreme. We ally ourselves to the helpers of Islam, even if be they Afghans, Persians, Turks or Kurds, and we are hostile to its enemies who collude with the Crusaders and Jews, even if they be pure-blooded Hashemite, Qurayshite Arabs. These are the scales of Islam.

The Truth, Blessed and Exalted is He, says, “O mankind! We created you from a male and female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know each other. Verily, the most honored of you in the sight of Allah is he who is the most righteous of you. Verily, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware.” (49:13)

And the Truth, Blessed and Exalted is He, says, “O you who believe! Take not for allies your fathers and your brothers if they prefer infidelity to faith; and whoever of you take them as allies, they are the wrongdoers. Say, ‘If it be that your fathers, your sons, your
brothers, your mates, or your kindred; the wealth that you have gained; the commerce in which you fear a decline; or the dwellings in which you delight, are dearer to you than Allah, His Messenger, or Jihad in His cause, then wait until Allah brings about His decision. And Allah guides not the rebellious.’” (9:23-24)

And the Prophet (peace be upon him) says, “Allah, the Glorious and Great, has removed from you the arrogance of the Time of Ignorance and its pride in forefathers. [Now there is either] a pious believer or a wretched evildoer. The people are sons of Adam and Adam is from earth. Those peoples who take pride in men must abandon it or they will be worth less to Allah than the same number of scarabs which push the dung with their noses.” (Ahmad #8381)

And the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, “O people, verily, your Lord is One and your father is one. Verily, there is no superiority to an Arab over a non-Arab, nor to a non-Arab over an Arab, nor to a red over a black, nor to a black over a red, except through piety.” (Ahmad #22391)

And Jabir, with whom Allah was pleased, said, “We went on an expedition with the Prophet (peace be upon him), and with him came many of the Emigrants. Among them was a very playful man. He slapped the behind of one of the Helpers, and that Helper became very angry, to the extent that they summoned one another. The Helper called out, ‘O Helpers,’ and the Emigrant called out, ‘O Emigrants.’ The Prophet (peace be upon him) came out and said, ‘What is with these calls of the people of the Time of Ignorance?’ Then he inquired, ‘What is the matter with them?’ He was informed of the slapping of the Helper by the Emigrant, then the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, ‘Abandon [these calls], for they are evil.’” (Bukhari #3257)

And the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, “O people, fear Allah, and if a mutilated Abyssinian slave is appointed as emir over you, listen to him and obey him, as long as he applies for you the Book of Allah.” (Tirmidhi #1628)

The Muslims espoused allegiance to the Ottoman state, which was Turkish, and before that, they espoused allegiance to Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi, who was Kurdish, and before him, Nur ad-Din bin Zanki, who was Turkish. And the Muslims in the Maghreb espoused allegiance to Yusuf ibn Tashfin, who was a Berber.

And we – by the grace of Allah and His guidance – have pledged allegiance to the Commander of the Believers, Mulla Muhammad Umar, who is an Afghan.
That’s why I ask my Muslim brothers in general and the callers and Mujahideen and their media organizations in particular to highlight the concept of Islamic brotherhood and disown all partisanship, loyalties and animosities based on nationalism, and I ask them not to allow the wrongdoing of a faction or entity motivate them to speak evil of that party’s entire people or race.

The Truth, Blessed and Exalted is He, says,

“And let not the hatred and animosity of a people to you make you transgress and abandon justice. Be just, for that is closer to piety.” (5:8)

The one who takes a look at the condition of the Arab nationalist and leftist movements finds that most of them – if not all – have sunk to extreme lows.
They have given up Palestine, the most important nationalist cause, and agreed to relinquish most of it and recognize Israel’s usurpation of it for the sake of an imaginary peace. And they agreed to appease the Arab governments and seek protection in the shade of international legitimacy.
It is enough that the nationalist movement in the most important Arab cause is dominated by a clique made up of the likes of Mahmoud Abbas and Muhammad Dahlan. If this is the state of the nationalist movement in the most important nationalist cause, then what about the rest?

Mahmoud Abbas and Muhammad Dahlan aren’t merely two corrupt individuals in a virtuous and upright organization, but rather, hold the reins of leadership and don’t just represent themselves: no, they represent a class of corrupt secularists who cooperate with America, sell Palestine, surrender to Israel and make war on Islam.

For this reason, I call on all who fight under the leadership of Fatah to ask themselves, “In the path of what are we fighting?” If they want fighting in Allah’s path, then Fatah began as a secular national liberation movement fighting not for the establishment of an Islamic state, but rather, for the establishment of a secular state in Palestine, and Islam has forbidden us from fighting unless it is for the supremacy of Allah’s Word. It is related that Abu Musa (with whom Allah was pleased) said, “A man came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, what is fighting in Allah’s path? Some of us fight out of anger, and others out of partisanship.’
Upon this, he raised his head to him, because the man was standing, and said, “The one who fights for the supremacy of Allah’s Word is in Allah’s path.” (Bukhari #120)

And in the same way, Islam forbids us to fight out of patriotic bias. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, “He who is killed under an ambiguous banner calling to partisanship or aiding partisanship has died the death of the Time of Ignorance.” (Muslim #3440)

And if they want to fight for the liberation of the homeland, then the leadership of Fatah has surrendered the homeland, for whose liberation it used to claim that it was fighting Israel, and has relinquished 80% of it and now calls it “Historic Palestine”: i.e. the Palestine which has been frozen in the museum of oblivion.

I’m not asking them to join HAMAS, Islamic Jihad or al-Qaida, but rather, I’m asking them to return to Islam, in order to fight for the establishment of an Islamic state over all of Palestine, and not for the establishment of a secularist state which will please America on crumbs of Palestine.

It is regrettable that some of the brothers in Palestine consider Mahmoud Abbas to be a brother of theirs’, even as this “brother” Abbas sends his thugs to kill the Mujahideen and invade the mosques and kill their Imams. This “brother” Abbas unleashes “brother” Dahlan to arrest the Mujahideen and torture them in order to find out where the Israeli captive is and tell Israel that he will find him and that there is no need to negotiate with the Palestinians to exchange prisoners.

My brothers in Palestine, the demonstrations which were held in Gaza to shout, “Oh Haniya, trample on the spy Dahlan,” would have better been used to disown the government of the secularist Palestine-selling “brothers” and declare animosity to them for Allah’s sake, because on the scales of Islam, they are criminals, not brothers.

Brothers in Jihad, martyrdom-seeking, and Ribat in Palestine: how have you benefited from agreeing to rule by the constitution and secular laws? Here you are: placed under embargo, all sorts of pressures applied against you, your leaders targeted for killing, and the blood of your Shaykhs spilled in the mosques by the secular, Palestine-selling spies and “brothers.”

For the sake of what have you abandoned ruling by Shari’ah? For the sake of a government whose president cannot come in until he is searched at the Rafah crossing, prevented from entering and made to sit on the pavement in the winter cold as he awaits the mediation of the Egyptians (also “brothers”) with the Israeli defense minister so he can be permitted to enter? Is it for the sake of this farcical government that you abandoned the rule of Shari’ah and killed the Islamic doctrine of loyalty and disloyalty?

Brothers in Jihad, Ribat and martyrdom-seeking, freedom and a sovereign government will only be achieved if you liberate Palestine from the Jews and their agents, and only if you set up a government which rules by Shari’ah. Otherwise, the soap opera of embargoes and pursuits and killings and denunciations will just go on and on.

Because I hope that the nationalists and leftists will return to the truth, I call on all of them to ask themselves: who is today confronting America and Israel? Who spoiled their criminal plans in Afghanistan and Iraq? Isn’t it the Mujahideen? And because I am eager for them to avoid losing out in this world and the next, I call on all of them to return to Islam and join the march of Jihad in Allah’s path against the fiercest Crusade in history. And I emphasize to them that they will only find honor in Islam and Jihad.

My Muslim Ummah, the duty of each one of us today is to fight in Allah’s path and bear arms. And the one who is unable to bear arms must serve those who bear arms, fulfill their requests, and deafen his ears to the sayings of the promoters of demoralization and desertion, who enjoy official protection.

And on the basis of the facts I know, I call on my Muslim brothers to go forth to Afghanistan, Iraq, Algeria and Somalia, because your brothers the Mujahideen are in need of men, money, materiel, opinion, expertise and information.

Is it right that the people of the Cross summon each other from all corners to combine their forces and funds in Iraq and Afghanistan, while there emerges from us those who seek to come between the Muslims and their going to help their Mujahid brothers? Haven’t they heard that Bush is determined to send 20,000 more troops to Iraq, even if Congress opposes him? So what is our reply to him? Allah suffices us and He is the best of protectors.

Regrettably, when these demoralizers found it easy to be silent about the presence of Crusader forces in their lands, and found it easy for these forces to set out from their lands to strike the Muslims without them moving a finger, and indeed, found it easy to justify their presence and daub it with legitimacy, they found it even easier to prevent their people from going to help their neighbors.

So O Muslim brothers, go forth, and don’t be of those who stay behind. Go forth, and don’t be of those who refrain. Go forth, and don’t be of those who tarry. The Truth, Blessed and Exalted is He, says, “O you who believe! What is the matter with you, that, when you are asked to go forth in the cause of Allah, you cling heavily to the earth? Do you prefer the life of this world to the hereafter? But little is the comfort of this life as compared with the hereafter. Unless you go forth, He will punish you with a painful punishment, and put others in your place. But Him you would not harm in the least, for Allah has power over all things.” (9:38-39)

And the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said on the day of the Conquest of Makkah, “There is no emigration [from Makkah] after the Conquest, but rather Jihad and intention, so if you are called up, then go forth.” (Tirmidhi #1516)

As I close my talk, I ask Allah to bless the lions of Iraq who broke America’s back and spoiled its plans, and are today confronting the Crusaders and their aides, the religion-traders and secularist collaborators of the Jews and callers to partisanship who deceive their Kurdish brothers by telling them that the Mujahideen are their Arab enemies. Allah suffices us against them and their slander. And I ask Allah to unite the Mujahideen – Arabs, Kurds and Turkmen – on the word of Tawheed and on Jihad in Allah’s path against their enemies, the Crusaders and Zionists. And I ask Him to bring together the hearts of the Mujahideen in Iraq on the heart of one man, lest they fail and their strength depart. And I ask Him to aid with His help and guidance the fledgling Islamic State of Iraq, and to guide its Mujahid Amir, Abu Umar al-Baghdadi (may Allah protect him), to what He loves and is pleased with, and to consolidate this state so that it unites all our Mujahid and Muslim brothers in Iraq and so that it sets up over Iraq of the Caliphate a Mujahid Islamic state which will proceed to liberate Jerusalem and take steps towards the reestablishment of the Caliphate state which the Crusaders and their helpers toppled.

I also send my greetings to the lions of Islam in Somalia, and I ask Allah to strengthen their hearts, bestow on them tranquility and resolve, and grant them victory and conquest. And I congratulate them on the appearance of the good omens of victory, for here are the Ethiopian forces – slaves of America – beginning their flight from Somalia, the den of the lions of Islam. And I call on them to be resolute on the truth, and not to concern themselves with the propaganda of the Crusaders and their lackeys, and to consider what was attributed to our honorable brother Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed (may Allah free him) as mere propaganda meant to discourage them from Jihad. These statements, even if confirmed, have no legal validity, for the captive is considered to be under duress and lacking choice and competence. We ask Allah to free him and all Muslim captives soon.

I also send greetings and a message of support to our brothers, the lions of Islam in the western garrisons of Islam, who stand – with their resolve, sacrifice and constant giving, by the grace of Allah – as an impregnable dam in the face of the treasonous sons of France who are trying to spread Crusader domination to Algeria of Islam, Jihad and Ribat, and who are trying in vain to exonerate France’s hunting dogs who bit the flesh of the Muslims with their plan to make peace with the Mujahideen. I ask Allah to make firm your feet, to guide you to obey Him and to bestow on you His aid and victory, so that you liberate the Maghreb of Islam and raise the banner of Jihad and Islam to flutter in victory over its land, and so that Allah favors you to stand with your washed feet on stolen Spain – soon, Allah willing.

I also call on our Muslim Ummah in the Maghreb of Islam to stand with its righteous sons who are defending its religion and sacred things, and I call on it to confront with everything in its power the treasonous rulers who sold us out for seats of power. And I call in particular on our people in Mauritania of Ribat and Jihad, Mauritania of knowledge and faith, and Mauritania of Arabism and Islam, to make a sincere Jihadi stand in the face of the treasonous rulers who recognized Israel and betrayed the Ummah in one of its most holy places and most serious issues. I call on every sincere and jealous Mauritanian, young or old, man or woman, scholar or thinker, inviter or Mujahid, to aid Allah and His Messenger (peace be upon him). I call on them by the right of La Ilaha Illa Allah and love of the Messenger of Allah to hurry to aid Islam in their land, and to expel from it the embassy of the trespasser Jews, and to apply in it the laws of the Noble Shari’ah and suppress in it every enemy of Islam and Muslims.

I send to dearest Mauritania
A Salaam like a fragrant perfume
A greeting of a loving advisor of yours
Who sees that his advice is sound
So don’t lay down your weapon, for in it
Your people of religion play a part
By your defending his dear ones from disaster
When they find no one to reply to them
And don’t keep for Zion an ambassador
In Shinqeet, as a bad neighbor and a wolf
And heed a call from the land of al-Aqsa
A call of one long sad, suffering and distressed
And treat from its pulpits a bleeding
Which covers the earth in a bloody cascade
So will help be found in your sense of honor?
And will a reply be found in your bravery?

I also greet the lions of Islam, the Murabiteen in the garrisons in Chechnya, the Philippines, Indonesia, Kashmir and all frontlines of Islam in defense of Islam and Muslims.

I also greet my brothers in shackles everywhere, chief among them our perseverant, reward-seeking Shaykh Umar Abd al-Rahman and all our patient brothers in Guantanamo, America’s secret prisons, and the dungeons of its agents in our countries, and I call on them to be patient, because liberty is at hand, Allah willing. And I ask Allah to protect them and steady and strengthen them in the face of the carrot-and-stick policy of America’s slaves, who want them to join the caravan of the lost and misguided backsliders. I ask Allah to steady us and all our Mujahid and captive brothers and all Muslims on the truth which He is pleased with, so that we meet Him unchanged.

I also send my greetings and those of my brothers to the Murabit lion of Islam, our Amir and Amir-ul-Mumineen Mulla Muhammad Umar, may Allah protect him and aid him against His enemies, the Crusaders and their aides, the CIA employee Karzai and the killer of Muslims and destroyer of mosques in Islamabad, Musharraf.

I also call on the Muslims in Afghanistan and its neighbors, especially in Pakistan, to discharge their duty towards the Mujahideen and come to their aid with money, manpower, opinion and expertise, to confront the Crusaders’ assault on the Muslims, and to obey their Lord, the Glorious and Exalted, who commanded them thus: “Go forth ,[whether equipped] lightly or heavily, and strive and struggle with your goods and your persons in the cause of Allah. That is best for you, if you but knew.” (9:41)

I also thank my brothers working in Islamic Jihadi media for their blessed efforts which have deprived the Crusaders, Zionists and their aides of sleep. And I call on them to continue their blessed giving with Allah’s help, and to combine their efforts and concentrate on the critical issues, especially the issue of the treasonous religion-traders who sell the lands of Islam to the Crusaders in the name of Islam and in pursuit of illegitimate wealth. I also call on them to encourage the Ummah to go forth with men and money to the fields of Jihad, and to reveal to their Ummah just how ugly the crimes of the corruptive rulers really are; those rulers who neither respect in us kinship nor covenants in order to please their masters in Washington and Tel Aviv.
And I ask Allah to protect our brothers in media, take care of them and guide them, and to give victory through them to His religion, Book and believing slaves.

And our final prayer is that all praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may peace and prayers be on our master Muhammad and upon his family and companions.

The kuffar are doing a good job of uniting the ummah against them

Canada offers $8.9 million, apology to torture victim
Man wrongly IDd as extremist was sent to U.S., then Syria

The prime minister of Canada apologized and offered $8.9 million in compensation Friday to Maher Arar, a Canadian software engineer who was mistakenly deported by U.S. officials to Syria in 2002 where he was imprisoned and tortured for a year.

After being wrongly identified by Canadian police as an Islamic extremist in information shared with U.S. authorities, Arar was detained by American agents during a stopover at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport. They held and interrogated him for 11 days, then sent him to his native Syria, where he was tortured into making false confessions that he was involved with al Qaeda.

The compensation, valued at $10.5 million in Canadian dollars, was announced by Prime Minister Stephen Harper in a televised news conference. It was recommended last fall by a Canadian judicial inquiry, which cleared Arar of terrorist links and determined that the Canadian government had passed on faulty intelligence and did not make adequate efforts to correct it.

The United States has refused to remove Arar from a terrorism watch list, however, and Harper said he had asked President Bush to clear him.

"We were clear, we don't believe Mr. Arar should be on the watch list," he said. "We will not drop this matter just because there is a disagreement and they don't like our position."

Harper also formally apologized to Arar, his wife and two children.

"On behalf of the government of Canada, I wish to apologize to you, Monia Mazigh, and your family for any role Canadian officials may have played in the terrible ordeal that all of you experienced in 2002 and 2003," said Harper at a televised news conference Friday.

The settlement includes $1.1 million to cover Arar's legal fees.

"We cannot go back and fix the injustice that occurred to Mr. Arar. However, we can make changes to lessen the likelihood that something like this will ever happen again," he said.

Arar accepted the apology at a separate, emotional news conference, saying the official acknowledgment of his innocence "means the world to me."

"The struggle to clear my name has been long and hard," he said, with 10 Canadian flags behind his back and his lawyers at his side. Arar said he would like to use the compensation money somehow to help ensure that others don't end up in the same situation he did.

"This struggle has taught me how important it is to stand up for human rights," he said. "I feel proud as a Canadian, and I feel proud of what we've been able to achieve."

Arar's case has become one of the best-known examples of extraordinary rendition, a covert U.S. practice of sending terrorism suspects to third countries for detention and interrogation. Often those countries have more relaxed rules regarding the use of torture than the United States.

U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff have told Canadian officials that Arar will remain on the U.S. watch list because of independent information about him obtained by U.S. authorities. Arar's wife and children also are on the list, and all are banned from flying into or over U.S. territories.

But Canada's minister of public safety, Stockwell Day, reviewed the confidential U.S. file and said it contains "nothing new" that would justify continuing to treat Arar like a terrorist.

Arar tried to sue American officials and agencies over his detention and deportation, but the U.S. District Court of Appeals dismissed his suit in February, ruling that the action was protected on national security grounds. Arar is appealing the decision.
