It's Crusade Vs Jihad

By J ahangir Mohammed, Director of the centre for Muslim Affairs, UK.

Now that the Crusade against Islam has been extended to the Muslims of Iraq, Muslims need to undergo a soberingreality check. Unfolding events since 911, seem to be revealing a number of messages, almost as an answer fromAllah (swt) to confused Muslims.

The first message is to all secular Muslims. You may consider yourself a secular Muslim or a moderate one. You mayeven be opposed to Muslim "extremists", but the enemies of Islam consider you Muslim and a legitimate target.Saddam Hussein, his regime, and his army (just like most of the Bosnian Muslims) are secular, but that did not sparethem from attack.

The second message is to all those who like to "sleep with Satan", and believe that by being an ally of a world powerlike the US it will spare them, and their nation. Saddam was a favoured dictator for a while and did the West's bidding,killing innocent Muslims. Now, the very nation he used against other Muslims is being totally destroyed. In particular,this is a very potent message to all the rulers in that region, and especially America's current favourite dictatorMusharraf. This pathetic little man has dismantled his country's first line of defence and strength, the Mujahideen inAfghanistan and Kashmir, thus weakening his country, just like Saddam. And his time will surely come too.

The third message is to all those who consider Muslim regimes and leaders, who side secretly and openly with non-

believers, as Muslim. They are not. From a Quranic, and practical point of view we are not to consider them as one ofus, but one "of them".

"O you believe! Take not the Christians as Auliya (protectors or guardians), they are but Auliya to one another. And ifany amongst you takes them as Auliya then surely he is one of them. Verily Allah guides not those people who areZalimun (oppressors)". Al-Maidah 51

The failure of the Mujahideen in Afghanistan to treat the Pakistani army and the ISI as one of the other after 911, asinstructed by the Quran, has caused untold damage. We witness the consequences with the handing over of Muslimsto the US by the Pakistani military and intelligence services. Muslims unfortunately have always been willing to acceptthe rule of those who are illegitimate "Muslims". This is in direct contradiction to a fundamental principle of Islam, ofnever recognising illegitimate rulers or rule. As Karbala in Iraq, comes under attack we should reflect on the essentialmessage of that land, the refusal of Imam Hussein to give recognition and legitimacy to the rule of Yazid even thoughmost Muslims accepted the rule of Yazid.

The fourth message is to all those that believe in democracy, voting and joining the British and American politicalsystems. Your theory of democratic influence has just been demolished. If 219 British MP's, and the majority of thepopulation of this country are not enough to stop this war, then how will a handful of Muslim parliamentarians (maybeas many as 20 in 50 years time) be of use? Neither did the 600 billion dollars of Saudi investments in the UnitedStates have any influence. To those Muslims in the Labour and Conservative party whose leaders say this war is amatter of principle, conviction and belief; we ask you where are your principles and belief? Your leader and Party towhom you give allegiance are murderers of Muslim civilians. How do you reconcile your conscience with this? Whatwill you say to Muslims when next you canvass for their votes - "vote Labour - kill more Muslims". The Liberaldemocrats are no better; they supported the war against Afghanistan.

The fifth message, is to all those who believed that the good old democratic tradition of demonstrating in the streetscould stop the war. When the socialists stop singing, and the demonstrators see no more political mileage in

protesting, or have simply lost interest, you will find that the Muslims are alone on the battlefield, dependent only onAllah (swt), the method of the Prophet (saw) and the committed members of his Ummah." and whosoever takes Allah, his Messenger, and those who have believed, as protectors, then the party of Allah willbe victorious". Al Maidah 56

The sixth message is for all those that believe in the rule of man made international law and the United Nations. Sincewhen did international law ever protect or assist Muslims? Not now, not ever. So why do you sit at this body giving itlegitimacy and funding? Which international law is protecting Muslims in concentration camps in Cuba. The UnitedStates has dumped international law and conventions, so thankfully you are no longer obliged to bother yourself with ittoo. From now on the only laws and rules you need follow are those defined by Allah (swt) instead, including the rulesof J ihad.

The seventh message is to all those moderate Muslims that said violence and the militarisation of the Ummah,represents a perverted and distorted version of the teachings of Islam and is "extremism". Please explain to us howyou will repulse these European Crusaders who use the most awesome military violence against our people?

The eighth message is to all those moderates who lectured Muslims since 9/11 about the rules of J ihad. These ruleswe know say; don't kill civilians, the old, the young, the sick, don't cut trees and pollute rivers or destroy crops anddestroy the means of civilian life. But can they now please, please, explain to us what the rules of J ihad say aboutdealing with an enemy that itself does not follow such rules and terrorizes a civilian population with "shock and awe" amilitary concept first developed by Hitler's Third Reich. This enemy bombs from the skies and destroys bridges, cuts

electricity and hits the economic and other means of civilian life, and imposes sanctions to stop the young, sick andold from getting medicines. P lease also give your British and American friends a lecture or two, since both Blair andBush say their Christian conscience is at ease over this war and presumably they feel their religion allows this.

The ninth message is to all those confused Muslims that say the United States is too powerful to take on. Oneprominent Imam recently said you couldn't expect to beat a top of the range car like a Rolls Royce, with a secondhand motor vehicle. Those that preach this message have failed to understand the very essence of divine revelation.Which Prophet had the equivalent military strength of the superpowers of their time ? Did Imam Hussein have themilitary equivalent of Yazid's army ? These Muslims must be terrified by the threat of "Shock and Awe". But thecommitted Muslims have seen it all before. The mighty Soviet Union whose feared Red Army held Europe and the USarmies back for decades, rolled in like a military giant with thousands of vehicles, only to be driven back out again to aRussia without communism, ten years later. We saw it with Israel, rolling in with their military might in Lebanon, andusing shock and awe against innocent civilians on a daily basis, they were driven back out 10 years later in humiliating

defeat and the Islamic resistance in Palestine has now brought the Zionist State's economy to it knees. In a last ditcheffort to save itself, supporters of Israel have now lured the US and Britain to fight a battle with the Muslim world thatthey know they can't win on their own. In doing so, they have merely sealed not only their own fate, but that of the USand its world order.

We saw it in Chechnya too, where 3000 Mujahideen took on an army of 140,000 Russians. Their "shock and "awetactics destroyed all civilian life in Grozny, but the Mujahideen destroyed them once, and will do so again Insha'allahWe saw it in Bosnia where Muslims took on the Serbs without arms and survived. We see it in Kashmir where a smallforce of Mujahideen have been taking on a modern Indian army of 600,000 for a decade now. Two years down theroad the Mujahdieen are also still taking on the US in Afghanistan. Today, we see the same pictures of the mighty USarmy rolling into Iraq. They will meet the same fate as the others insha'allah. The Iraqi army may well be driven frompower, but in its place will emerge a more powerful J ihad resistance movement consisting of both Shias and Sunnis.

The tenth message is for all those that deny J ihad as the prescribed method of the creator to defeat Zulm oroppression, and choose secular methods instead. The more you deny J ihad, the more Allah (swt) brings the enemyaround you neck, leaving you with J ihad as the only option. When Allah (swt) has declared the only way to fightoppression is J ihad why do you seek solutions elsewhere.

"Fighting is mandatory for you although you dislike it, and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you andthat you like something that is bad for you. Allah knows but you do not know". Al Baqarah 216 The US and Britainhave taken steps that will lead to the inevitable clash between Islam and the West. What they have started is in factthe beginning of the end of Western domination of the world and the inevitable liberation of the Muslim world. Bushand Blair's blind devotion to Israel will ultimately be their own undoing. We can only conclude from now on that it willbe a case of what it has always been between the J udeo-Christian West and the Islamic world - Crusade versus J ihad- and Allah (swt) is the best of planners.
