IRAN’S HIZB’ALLAH SLEEPER CELLS

Hizb’allah plans to activate its sleeper cells in the United


States and elsewhere when America attacks Iran. Hizb’allah
sleeper cells had been uncovered in America: Mahmoud
Youssef Kourani surreptitiously entered the United States via
the U.S. / Mexico border on February 4, 2001 and took up
residence in Dearborn, Michigan, where worked on behalf of the
Hizb’allah. His brother, Haidar Kourani who was the Hizb’allah
Chief of Military Security for Southern Lebanon, oversaw his
activities. In the United States Kourani employed “taqiyah” 1 while conducting his
work.2 Mahmoud Youssef Kourani had pleaded guilty in August 2003 to charges
of harboring another illegal alien. 3 A superceding indictment accused him of
providing material support to a so-called terrorist group – he was sentenced to
five years in prison after pleading guilty to one count. Nabih Ayad represented
him.

IRAN AND PALESTINIAN ISLAMIC JIHAD

Palestinian Islamic Jihad began with a group of Palestinian students from


the Gaza Strip who were enrolled in universities in Egypt in the 1970s.
Disillusioned by defeat of the Arab armies in 1967, these students turned to
radical Islam as a political philosophy. While studying medicine at Zagazig
University in Egypt, the future leader of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Fathi Shiqaqi
met other disenchanted radical Islamic Palestinian students. During their
university studies radical Islamic fundamentalists from the Egyptian Islamic Jihad
influenced these students. They were further influenced by the 1979 revolution
that established an Islamic Republic in Iran. Fathi Shiqaqi turned pro-Iranian and
published a book titled Khomeni: The Islamic Solution and the Alternative. Fathi
Shiqaqi's advocacy of a Palestinian Islamic Republic, similar to the Islamic
Republic of Iran, became a corner stone of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad -
Shiqaqi Faction ideology. Fathi Shiqaqi, Bashir Nafi, Sami Al-Arian and Sheik
Abd Al Aziz Awda, a Palestinian cleric from the Gaza Strip, founded the
Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Sheik Abd Al Aziz Awda is widely viewed as the
spiritual leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The written and stated goal of the
Palestinian Islamic Jihad is the extermination of the State of Israel and the
establishment of an Iranian-style Palestinian Islamic Republic over all lands of
Palestine between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River by violent and
immediate struggle. In 2006, despite a unilateral cease-fire declared by Hamas,
Palestinian Islamic Jihad continued the armed struggle.

The founders of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad left Egypt in the early 1980's
as a result of the purge of Islamic radicals by Egyptian authorities following the

assassination of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. Sheik Omar Abdul Rahman
also fled Egypt during this same time period. Shiqaqi and Sheik Awda fled to the
Gaza Strip and the Occupied Territories where they were ultimately imprisoned
by Israeli authorities because of their activities. Shiqaqi was arrested for
weapons smuggling; defendant Sheik Awda for inciting riots. Shiqaqi was
released and deported to Damascus, Syria where he operated the Palestinian
Islamic Jihad world headquarters under the protection of the Syrian government.
Sheik Awda returned to the Al Qassam Mosque in the Gaza Strip. Bashir Nafi
fled to Egypt in the early 1980's and moved to London, England where he
became the head of the European cell of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and a
member of the WISE Palestinian Islamic Jihad front organization in Tampa,
Florida run by Sami Al-Arian the Elder.

BROTHER SAMI Al-ARIAN

Brother Sami Al-Arian was born in Kuwait and entered the United States
with an Egyptian passport on a student visa to attend North Carolina State
University in August 1978. Dr. Sami Al-Arian arrived in Tampa, Florida in
approximately 1986 after he accepted employment teaching computer
engineering at the University of South Florida. Between 1988 and 1992, Dr. Al-
Arian established Islamic Committee for Palestine also known as the Islamic
Concern Project (ICP), WISE, and Islamic Academy of Florida (IAF) as vehicles
to raise funds for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and to provide cover for so-called
“terroristic” activities. Sami Al-Arian became a permanent resident alien of the
United States on March 27, 1989. On December 27, 1991, in Chicago, Illinois,
Sami Al-Arian, Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, and Ramadan Abdullah Shallah
attended the Fourth Annual Islamic Concern Project Conference. Sheik Omar
Abdul Rahman advised the participants at the conference to focus on the armed
struggle and that they should not fear accusations of terrorism or extremism.
Sheik Omar Abdul Rahman visited Sami Al-Arian at his residence in Tampa and
spoke at his mosque.

IRAN AND PALESTINIAN ISLAMIC JIHAD

INS Agent William D. West read a newspaper article about Sami Al-
Arian’s connection to WISE. When reviewed Sami Al-Arian’s N-400 immigration
form he found that Dr. Sami Al-Arian had not listed this affiliation, nor had he
listed the Islamic Concern Project. Agent West also discovered that when
Ramadan Abdullah Shallah, a professor whom Sami Al-Arian had helped bring to
Tampa and appointed head of WISE, abruptly left Florida he re-emerged in
Damascus as the new head of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, after the Mossad
assassinated Fathi Shiqaqi. Agent West commented, “Your affiant knows, based
upon his training and experience concerning terrorist organizations, the
individuals do not become leaders unless they have been a member of that
organization for a considerable period of time and the individual has established
himself within that organization.” West did another document search and

2
discovered Brother Shallah’s connection to Dr. Sami Al-Arian. When he put Dr.
Sami Al-Arian’s name through the system he found Sami Al-Arian was linked to
Bashir Musa Mohammed Nafi’s H-1 visa. West soon learned that Nafi was a
leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. This caused him to have the FBI check
Sami Al-Arian’s telephone records, and he discovered that his phone number
was “associated with known alien terrorist suspects, including Fawaz Damra and
Siraj El-Din Yousif, subjects identified in the World Trade Center bombing
investigation and who are associates of the individuals who were indicted and
convicted in that case. Additionally many of these phone calls were made to the
Embassy of Sudan and Iran. FBI Agents Barry Carmody and Tom Habib
confirmed Dr. Sami Al-Arians connection to Palestinian Islamic Jihad with a
Cooperating Witness.

The FBI opened an intelligence investigation in 1993 and a criminal


investigation of Sami Al-Arian in 1995, and put a FISA tap on Al-Arian’s various
telephones and facsimile machines taping some 470,000 calls. In these
telephone intercepts, the Brothers communicated in Arabic and frequently relied
on code words. For instance, they referred to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad as
“The Family”, its operatives as “the youth” or “the Brothers”, Fathi Shiqaqi as “the
Man”, the West Bank and Gaza as “the inside” or “the interior” and Iran as "the
North." The words “magazines,” “rabbits,” “shirts” and “yellow ones”, frequently
referred to money transactions. The calls concerned the identification of infighting
within the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hamas and the need to resolve their
differences and strategies for dealing with Iran that provided the funding for the
Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The telephone intercepts also revealed that from 1994
forward, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad in the United States communicated with
each other and with other Palestinian Islamic Jihad operatives about numerous
Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hamas attacks shortly after they occurred, detailing
who committed them, who organized them, what types of explosives were used,
the total cost of the operations, and who had been arrested as a result of these
acts.

On February 10, 1995 Sami Al-Arian noted that that the link with the
Brothers in Hamas was very good and improving, and there were serious
attempts at unification and permanent coordination. The next day Sami Al-Arian
spoke with Brother Bashir Nafi about the Rahman Unindicted Co-Conspirator
List. In late February Sami Al-Arian received a facsimile that indicated the Iranian
government had met with representatives of Palestinian Islamic Jihad and all had
gone well. On March 19, 1995, Sami Al-Arian received a facsimile at WISE/ICP
in Tampa, Florida, which contained a recently published interview of Fathi
Shiqaqi. In the interview, Fathi Shiqaqi described the relationship of the
Palestinian Islamic Jihad with Hizb’allah, Iran's financial assistance to the
Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the impossibility of the co-existence of Israel and a
Palestinian state. On April 9, 1995 a suicide bombing against a bus in the Gaza
Strip killed the American Jew, Lisa Flatow. The Brothers in the United States
raised and provided financial assistance to the surviving family members of the

3
martyrs and detainees in the Occupied Territories who carried this God
sanctioned act. On April 16, 1994, Al-Arian had a telephone conversation with
Bashir Nafi who was in England, in which they discussed the upcoming
Palestinian Islamic Jihad meeting and whether Al-Arian should travel to the
meeting via the “North,” Iran, and whether officials in the “North” would speak
Arabic. On April 24, 1994, Al-Arian had a telephone conversation with Brother
Samir Khalil in which they discussed an announcement that Hamas and Arafat
had reached a unification agreement. During another of these telephone
conversations Al-Arian and Bashir Musa Mohammed Nafi disagreed to the extent
Iran needed to be notified of the results of al-Arian’s financial audit of the
Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Nafi suggested that an appropriate response should
not include confronting the Iranians and telling them strongly that disbursement
of Palestinian Islamic Jihad funds was none of their business. Nafi was worried
that Palestinian Islamic Jihad members would succumb to Iranian pressure
because everyone in the Palestinian Islamic Jihad needed money. Al-Arian
suggested the Palestinian Islamic Jihad borrow $250,000.00 to $500,000.00 from
Hamas. On January 25, 1995 the United States Justice Department designated
the Palestinian Islamic Jihad as a “terrorist” organization and barred all financial
transactions with them. After this the Brothers in the United States communicated
with Brothers in Syria and Iran about the possibility of procuring encrypted
communications equipment to facilitate information sharing. On February 9,
1995, WISE sent a facsimile that included published interviews of Fathi Shiqaqi
and Sheik Awda regarding the escalation of violence by the Palestinian Islamic
Jihad and the association of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad with Iran and Syria. On
February 10, 1995, Dr. Sami Al-Arian wrote a letter to a Kuwaiti legislator asking
for money for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. In this letter he noted that the
Palestinian Islamic Jihad's relationship with Hamas was strong and improving
and that serious attempts to unify and permanently coordinate with Hamas were
underway.

Federal authorities had been investigating Sami Al-Arian since 1993 on


suspicion that he used WISE and a related Islamic charity funneled $650,000
raised in the United States to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Seven years later
Israeli officials claimed they had evidence that some of the money was sent in
1993 to an account of another man at the Bank Leumi in Tel Aviv and that the
man later transferred $8,000 from that account to the families of four men who
were convicted by Israel for their roles in an attack by the Palestinian Islamic
Jihad in 1992.

A document stolen during a 1995 raid of Al-Arian’s home, detailed a “vast


covert intelligence and training operation spread throughout the United States”
and two drafts of the Islamic Jihad’s fiery manifesto. An affidavit of FBI Special
Agent M. Barry Carmody stated:

Located and seized at the residence of Sami Al-Arian on November


20, 1995, was a letter written by Sami Al-Arian in which Al-Arian is

4
soliciting funds for the Islamic [Jihad] Movement in Palestine. This
solicitation letter states that despite obstacles, the Islamic [Jihad]
Movement operates at a time when combined scores of Arab
armies fail to accomplish its goal, and the Hamas Brothers continue
improving. This letter also appeals for support for the Jihad so that
the people will not lose faith in Islam.

The FBI also found “A communiqué between the Palestinian Islamic Jihad
and Hamas entitled, “The Pact of Brotherhood and Cooperation” and a document
entitled the “Charter of the Center of Studies, the Intelligence and the
Information,” which set forth a detailed description of the structure and operation
of a hostile intelligence organization in the United States and elsewhere. Sami Al-
Arian spoke to Bashir Musa Mohammed Nafi about 170 people who were listed
as coconspirators in a New York terrorism prosecution being conducted by
"Zionist circles."4

The document included organizational structure, duties, responsibilities,


espionage methods, targets, precautionary measures, methods of reporting and
a cipher system to make the hostile intelligence organization appear to be
affiliated with a university. The Charter provided for the establishment of an
Intelligence and Monitoring Apparatus, part of which would be responsible to “to
watch the individuals who oppose the Movement and the Islamic actions. To
watch them, monitor them and to make files on them.” Members of the Group
should be able to “infiltrate the sensitive intelligence agencies or the embassies
in order to collect information and build close relationships with the people in
charge in these establishments.” They should also use every opportunity to
“collect information from those relatives and friends who work in sensitive
positions in the government, to perform special studies such as purchasing and
retaining arms and training on these arms. The situation of the camps and the
training locations should be studied. Another study should be conducted
regarding matters of exporting arms in special ways in relation to the source of
these arms and the implications of exporting it. Also, a study should be
conducted to follow up on the scientific development relating to spying
operations, the intelligence agencies and its tools. 5

The FBI came into possession of a typed letter, addressed to a Saudi


Arabian company that inquired about buying a fertilizer that investigators said
could be used in explosives. The letter was sent in 1996, a year after the search
of Al-Arian’s house. It was not signed but had a
section stating that it was from Al-Arian. Al-Arian told
the FBI Mazen Al-Najjar, his brother-in-law, who was
trying to help with a business venture, had sent the
letter. The Brothers indictment stated: “On or about
October 18, 1996, Al-Arian sent a facsimile to the

Abdul Latif Jameel Company, Ltd. in Saudi Arabia, and inquired about obtaining
pelletized urea fertilizer in fifty kilogram bags suitable for ocean transportation.” 6

The FBI confronted Al-Arian with these documents and then foolishly took
no action other than bring Al-Arian before a Magistrate, 7 as the Clinton Justice
Department did so many other times despite the fact that Sudanese strongman
Hassan al-Turabi, whose diplomats were in touch with our Brooklyn / Jersey City
cell, had visited the University of South Florida campus under Al-Arian’s watch. 8
Sheik Rashid El-Ghanoushi, who had been convicted in 1989 of the attempted
assassination of the president of Tunisia and the overthrow of the Tunisian
Government, then having escaped and fled to England, had unsuccessfully
attempted to enter the United States to attend another conference sponsored by
Dr. Al-Arian. Despite this, Al-Arian went to a June 2000 meeting at the White
House under the Clinton administration. Perhaps the reason for the FBI’s inaction
stemmed from the fact that Al-Arian had been, or rather pretended to have been,
an FBI informant.9

Al-Arian, a Republican, was a leader in Tampa’s small


Muslim community and was photographed with President Bush
during the 2000 campaign. He got out the vote in the Muslim
community for Bush, in a very close election and was part of a
group from the American Muslim Council that went to the
White House in June 2001 to meet with President Bush. The
American Muslim Council fervently opposed both Clinton and
Bush anti-terror initiatives both before and following the victory
th 10
of September 11 . Meanwhile the FBI was tapping the telephones of Sami Al-
Arian and his associates and discovering they were still raising money for the
cause that included killing Shoshana Ben-Yishai, who was executed on
November 4, 2001 in Jerusalem. On December 5, 2001 Al-Arian received a letter
from the Benevolence International Foundation. In 2002 he received numerous
items of correspondence from the Global Relief Foundation. 11

19, 2003. On October 19, 2002 the Treasury Department designated the Global Relief Foundation as a “terrorist
organization” because it received funding from a top al-Qaeda financier and because Rabih Haddad, the founder of
Global Relief, had worked for years for Bin Laden’s Makhtab al-Khidamat, which supported the tens of thousands of
Brothers who rushed to Afghanistan to join the anti-Communist Jihad there. Haddad was incarcerated without trial for
nineteen months, beginning on December 14, 2001, based on alleged visa violations. He ultimately was deported to
Lebanon but was never charged with a crime. The Treasury Department also alleged that the foundation had connections
to and has provided support for the al-Qaeda network and other so-called terrorist groups, and the director of Global
Relief’s Belgian affiliate was in close touch in the late 1990s with Wadih el-Hage, “Bin Laden’s personal secretary”
according to the Treasury Department. (Office Of Public Affairs Treasury Department “Statement Regarding the
Designation of the Global Relief Foundation” http://www.ustreas.gov/press/releases/po3553.htm) Roger C. Simmons, the
attorney for Global Relief, disagreed: “The Treasury Department’s rationale for first freezing then designating GRF an
SDGT was, in part, based on secret record. That record has not been made available to me. Grand juries were convened
in early 2002 to investigate GRF and other charities. To date, not one single employee or officer of GRF has ever been

6
Mazen Al-Najjar, Al-Arian’s brother-in-law and WISE colleague, was
arrested for having overstayed his student visa. Al-Najjar appealed, but was held
without bond on secret government evidence of links to us. But Federal Court
Judge R. Kevin McHugh wrote: “Although there were allegations that WISE was
a ‘front’ for Palestinian political causes, there is no evidence before the Court that
demonstrates that either organization was a front for the [Egyptian Islamic Jihad].
To the contrary, there is evidence in the record to support the conclusion that
WISE was a reputable and scholarly research center.” 12 Al-Najjar was freed
before the September 11th Raids brought a change of heart to the American
government. It was only then that the State Department named WISE as a front
organization that raised funds for militant Islamist-Palestinian groups such as
Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hamas. 13 On November 24, 2001 Al-Najjar was
arrested then deported in August 2002 because he had established ties to so-
called “terrorist” organizations and had held leadership positions in WISE. 14 In
late September 2002 Al-Najjar was kicked out of Lebanon. He had been dropped
off there by American immigration authorities. He is now in Iran.

In February 2003 the Americans charged Al-Arian with being a member of


the governing body of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. “We are very concerned that
the government would bring charges after investigating an individual for many
years without offering any evidence of criminal activity,” said Omar Ahmad,
chairman of CAIR in Washington, in regard to the Al-Arian affair. The first witness
to testify for the Brother was Dr. Agha Saeed, National Chairman American

accused of any charity-related wrong.” (Letter from Roger Simmons to Marty Stollar November 14, 2003 found in USDC
EDNY 02CR901 USA v. Alla Al-Saadawi) On November 14, 2002, Israelian authorities seized Dr. Kahleb Diab an ex-
employee of GRF employed by the Palestine Red Crescent, solely because he once worked for GRF. He was released 12
days later. The Palestinian Red Crescent has allowed its offices and ambulances to serve as cover for Palestinian fighters
shooting Israeli soldiers and civilians or to ferry gunmen to the site of skirmishes. Some ambulances are used to transport
rocks to friction points in Gaza and the West Bank. (ADL Urges American Red Cross to Press IRC to Stop Use of
Palestinian Ambulances as a Tool for Attacks Against Israel.” The Anti-Defamation League Press Release November 7,
2000.) Another Brother who the Treasury Department connected to Global Relief was Alaa El-Saadawi. El-Saadawi was
arrested after his parents were apprehended smuggling over half a million dollars to Egypt in Ritz Cracker and Baby-
Wipes boxes. By his own admission, Al-Saadawi “was recruited by the presiding officers of Global Relief to travel around
the United States giving speeches and raising money on their behalf” from May 2000 to late 2001. El-Saadawi had
worked at the Al-Tawheed Islamic Center in Jersey City, New Jersey, that, although it has no connection to the Al-Salaam
Mosque, is in close touch with it as it is located only several blocks away. Coincidently, two men who carried box cutters
and booked flights on September 11th (The so-called terrorists used only one box cutter according to Sara Kehaulani Goo
and Dan Eggen “9/11 Hijackers Used Mace And Knives, Panel Reports” Washington Post Staff January 28, 2004; Page
A01) were worshippers at the Al-Salaam Mosque. (Toby Eckert “Experts say Jersey City is a breeding ground for terrorist
cells” Copley News Service The San Diego Union-Tribune September 20, 2001.) El-Saadawi had personally met Rabih
Haddad and Dr. Kahleb Diab, whose role was to supervise the distribution of money outside the United States. A few
seconds later El-Saadawi said that the GRF did not send money overseas, but determined what items were needed
abroad, such as medicine, and would purchase the items in the U.S. for shipment overseas. El-Saadawi told the FBI that
he passed some of the money collected by Al-Tawheed to a GRF courier in a men’s room at the Chicago airport, under a
bathroom stall. El-Saadawi was asked about his association with Sheik Magdi Wardah, who had left the United States. He
said that Wardah rejected the terrorist views of Usama Bin Laden and said he refused to believe that Wardah told the FBI
that he (Wardah) had counseled Bin Laden. He also refused to believe Wardah told the Bureau he did not view the men
who carried out the September 11 th attack as terrorists. (USDC EDNY 02CR901 USA v. Alla Al-Saadawi Department of

Dr. Al-Arian was acquitted on eight of the 17 charges against him in


December 2005 after a six month trial with three co-defendants. On April 14,
2006 al-Arian pleaded guilty to a single count of conspiracy to provide services to

MEETING OF THE ELDERS IS ADJORNED

The enmity between the Jews and us goes back far in time and is deep
rooted. There is no question that a war between the two of us is inevitable 16 Only
by destroying Israel can we put an end to the suffering of the Palestinians who
have been living in concentration camps for more than fifty years and at the
same time remove this cancer of Western culture that has expanded like a
malignant tumor. Then we shall regain the land of two Mosques from the puppets
of America and the West and thereby receive a fair price from our natural
resources. Once this is accomplished a new Caliphate will not be far off.

We are a secret army whose plans are impossible to understand by using


honest methods. Cunning is our approach and mystery is our way. “And Allah’s
enemies plotted and planned, and Allah too planned, and the best of planners is
Allah.”17 America can kill or arrest our leaders. But if they want to get rid of us,
they must get rid of the factories that are creating us. And they can’t do it,
because that factory is the Qu’ran. Victory over the Zionists and Crusaders or
death!

STRUGGLE

HAMAS TAKES OVER PALESTINE

In Palestine, al-Qaeda is essentially Hamas, an abbreviation of the


“Islamic Resistance Movement” and an Arabic word meaning valor and courage.
Although Hamas denies it has any connection with Al-Qaeda Hekmatyar has
nothing but praise for this organization:

Undoubtedly, the success of Hamas is the result of its policies and


jihadi activities. I hope that the brave mujahideen of Hamas will

prisoners continue to be held at that time. Whether and when it would be open to this Court to find that a war though
merely formally kept alive had in fact ended, is a question too fraught with gravity even to be adequately formulated when

continue their Jihad with even more [fervor]. It is not possible to
liberate Palestine without Jihad. If there were another way other
than Jihad to liberate Palestine, Palestine would have already been
liberated without a doubt. The truth is that the…sacrifices by
Hamas led the government to crush the Jihad resistance. The
Zionist forces will withdraw from all occupied lands…. The
Americans [will be] routed and [forced] to withdraw from
Afghanistan and Iraq.18

For a brief period in 2006 Hamas declared a Huda, a temporary ceasefire


during which one can build up military strength. Although Hamas is not sending
shaheeds into Israel during this period, when Palestinian Islamic Jihad did
Hamas termed it legitimate resistance to occupation. Hamas was founded in the
territories of occupied Palestine at the beginning of the Intifada, on the
organizational and ideological basis of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood
Movement. It defines itself as the Palestinian Wing of the Brotherhood. Unlike the
modern Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas is very active in both subversive and so-
called “terrorist” operations.19 Like the Muslim Brotherhood it is involved in
extensive social-civilian activities pervading all areas of life. Its list of priorities is
topped by Jihad, the sole strategic option for the liberation of Palestine. It rejects
any negotiations or agreements with Israel that involve giving up any of the
Islamic land. In the words of Hamas leader Sa’id Badarna, “I recommend that all
Jews convert to Islam or emigrate.” 20 It was outlawed by the Zionist entity in
1989. An organization whose activities are mostly clandestine, Hamas is very
careful in the spirit of taqia21 a principle inherited from the Muslim Brothers. Due
to this caution and carpartmentation, the Zionists knowledge of Hamas’ covert
activities is quite limited.22

Sheik Ahmad Yassin, May The Peace of Allah Be


Upon Him, lived in Gaza after the Zionist aggression of 1948,
where he taught Arabic and Islamic education was the
creator and spiritual leader of Hamas until the Zionist
murderers assassinated him on March 21, 2004. The Sheik
spoke with a distinct high-pitched voice. A childhood injury
left him paralyzed. He was essentially blind, and suffered
from a number of respiratory and inflammatory diseases
incurred while in Zionist detention.

Sheik Ahmad Yassin the Elder founded Hamas after Ariel Sharon
deported the jihadi of the Palestinian Liberation Organization to Tunisia in the
early 1980’s. Sharon hoped that the Palestinians in the occupied territories would

forget Yassir Arafat and touted Islamists as a “lesser evil.” Hamas was expected
to turn Palestinians away from the national liberation struggle! He was a
vegetable even back then! Arafat the Elder claimed the Israelians sold 26,000
weapons to Hamas, hoping that they would use them against the PLO. 23 The
Mossad established contacts with Hamas in 1982-1983. In the beginning Hamas
was occupied with philanthropy, opening mosques, hospitals, kindergartens and
libraries. Sheik Yassin launched a weekly Israeli television program devoted to
Islam. The program faulted Arafat’s gang, the so-called Tunisian mafia for “living
it up in luxurious hotels and drinking much alcohol.”

This peaceful Islamic propaganda, subsidized by the Jews themselves,


was only a ploy to allow us to organize, a Huda. When first intifada broke out in
1987 Hamas was ready. Sheik Yassin created a military division of Hamas, and
the Qur’anic idea of martyrdom for faith was declared as our secret weapon.
Arrested in 1983 and sentenced to 13 years in prison by a Zionist military court
on charges of possessing weapons and inciting anti-Zionist military action and
organization, Sheik Yassin was released in 1985 as part of a prisoner swap deal,
only to be rearrested in 1989 and sentenced to life in prison for his role in
founding Hamas, and inciting the kidnap and murder of Zionist soldiers. Sheik
Yassin was finally released in 1997 in a deal between Jordan and the Zionist
entity in exchange for Jewish assassins arrested in Jordan. The Sheik was a
fighter until the end and in February 2003 the Sheik stated: “Muslims should
threaten Western interests and strike them everywhere. The envious West and
the U.S. first among them. As they fight us, we have to fight them.”

Mohammed Abu Ataya described a typical early Hamas action, before


Hamas and others began the War of the Buses:

Yasser and Bashir told us that there are two Jews who are the
owners of a vegetable factory in the El Kubeh area, and we need to
go out and kill them. This was towards the end of June 1992... They
are there all the time, and we have to go to them the following day
in the afternoon in order to kill them. We agreed to this. On the next
day, at about 1:30 p.m. we went in a White Peugeot with Bashir
driving and he had with him a Karlo rifle. Yasser sat next to him and
in his hand he had a knife. Talal had a knife in his hand and sat in
back together with me, and I had in my hand a pistol, which I had
received from Yasser -- it was a 9 mm American with a magazine
and it was a black color. I also held a knife. We went out from the
direction of the warehouse, which was our hiding place, and went to
the factory ... When we got to the factory, we went in with our car
and Talal and Yasser and I got out, while Bashir stayed in the car
with the motor running. We hid the knives in our clothes, while
Bashir guarded us from the car with the Karlo rifle. Then Yasser
and I asked the workers whether they had vegetables for sale? And

where is the aluminum industry? Then we saw the Israelis. One
was standing and the second was far away from the first one. Then
Yasser approached the Israeli and after he got close to him, Yasser
told the Israeli that he wants vegetables and he made a movement
as if he were taking money out of his back pocket ... Then he took
the knife out of his pocket and started to stab the Jew in his chest.
Then I, together with Talal also took out our knives and started to
stab in Jew in the stomach and chest. He started to shout the name
‘Ami Ami’. Then he fell and the second, the Jew named Ami,
started to run towards us, and then Talal and Yasser ran to the
second and started to stab him all over his body. And after I saw
the first one was dead, I ran to help Talal and Yasser in order to kill
the second one. He kept shouting, but I don’t know what he was
shouting. Bashir guarded us with the Karlo rifle and warned the
workers that no one should move. After we saw that the two Jewish
Israelis were dead, we fled from the place.

In August 2003 Hamas member Raed Abdul Hamid Misk an Iman and
teacher from a mosque in Hebron, married with two young children, who dressed
in the clothes of an ultra-Orthodox Jew, boarded a double bus packed with
families and young children and set himself off with a chest pack of 40 pounds of
explosives. He looked in their faces and murdered 21 men, women and children -
six babies. One hundred and fifty were wounded, some maimed for life, including
many children and pregnant women. In videotape made before the attack Misk
said that he did not care if he killed children, as they would grow into older Jews
who would oppress them. Despite this sort of activity looked down upon in some
Western quarters, the European Union, thank Allah, waited until September 6,
2003 to declare Hamas a “terrorist” outfit. The United States waited until October
8, 1997 to designate Hamas as such. Terrorist? Hamas took control of the
Palestinian legislature through the electoral process! The European Union also
decided to suppress a report titled “Manifestations of Anti-Semitism in the
European Union” because of its inflammatory nature since the report concluded,
“Muslims and pro-Palestinian groups were behind many of the incidents it
examined.”24

DR. MOUSA ABU MARZOOK: THE LEADER OF HAMAS IN AMERICA

The life of Mousa Mohammed Abu Marzook mirrors the


Palestinian experience so closely that its story is always worth
re-telling. Mousa Marzook was born in 1951 under a tent in the
Gaza strip refugee camp of Rafah. Marzook grew up in the
midst of a period of violent and dangerous change for the
people of Palestine. His parents had married in 1934, raising
four sons and one daughter on the family homestead in Yebna, in central
Palestine, where Mousa’s father grew vegetables and fruit. Their displacement

came suddenly one day, without warning or explanation, during the tumultuous
events of 1948 when the newly constituted state of Israel expelled by force
Palestinians from cities, villages and farms from within Palestine, the Gaza strip
and the West Bank.

As related to him in his youth by his parents, one-day soldiers came to the
house his family owned and had always lived in, on the farmland they had always
cultivated, and ordered them out. They were allowed to take with them a few
pieces of clothing and a small amount of wheat flour, but nothing else. Leaving
behind everything they owned and their ancestral home, Mousa’s parents and
their five children set off on a four-month odyssey in the desert, covering more
than 150 kilometers on foot with many of their neighbors from the village and
surrounding farms, constantly harried by Israeli “defense” forces.

In the first day they walked some twenty kilometers from Yebna to Isdoud,
where they stayed one day before Israeli troops bombed the city. From there
they struck out for El Majdal, ten kilometers away, where they stayed for five
days before soldiers drove them on like so much cattle. From there, they were
pushed into the Gaza, to Khan Yunis, where they would spend three months.
Throughout the whole trip the children were too young to walk by themselves and
had to be carried. Mousa’s brother Yusef, the youngest of the boys, grew very ill
from the difficult walking in rugged, dry country, suffering from dehydration and
exposure. If not for the kindliness of another family with a donkey they allowed
the boy to ride on, Yusef may have died on the road. Everywhere they went on
this forced march, they slept on the ground without any cover but an occasional
tree, in the cold desert nights. Finally, the Abu Marzook family walked the last ten
kilometers to Rafah, where they found tens of thousands of dispossessed
Palestinians thrown together.

From a stable, productive family owning a small farm to stateless refugees


penned up in the desert took only a few months and some 150 kilometers; but for
the Abu Marzook family, like many others, their social, economic and
psychological displacement could not be measured simply in weeks and meters.
Many years later Mousa Marzook would finally see the house and farm that
should have been his birthright, when in 1985 he visited the Israeli town now
renamed “Yevna.” Today Jewish settlers from Yemen live in the house and, till
the soil, but the trees his father planted still thrive and bear fruit.

When the Abu Marzook family arrived in a U.N. refugee camp in Rafah,
they did not know then that the land and home they had lost would never be
recovered. What awaited them in their new lives as refugees only sharpened the
loss - unending years of crowded conditions, with two large families sharing a
single canvas tent, with almost no sanitary facilities or conveniences, and with
their free movement controlled. At the time of Mousa’s birth, the refugee camp at
Rafah had a steady population of more than 100,000 ousted Palestinians. The
Egyptian government oversaw the camp’s administration and supplied the

12
guards; food, health care and education were the responsibility of the United
Nations.

Physical conditions in the camp were miserable. Only one toilet existed for
approximately every one hundred residents, and open ditches filled with sewage
moved between the tents. There was no clean, running water anywhere in the
desert camp, so Mousa’s father regularly collected the rainwater that came
through leaks in the tent’s canvas during the wet months. The Abu Marzook
family lived in the tent with a neighboring family from Yebna for the first two
years, and with Mousa’s birth, their household numbered more than a dozen
people. The family had no privacy over the long months--the living space was
undivided, and for the first few years everyone slept directly on the ground, until
U.N. relief workers built jail-style cots. For cooking, they burned scraps of wood
gathered around the camp, and these small cook-fires were the only source of
heat, the unvented smoke filling the tent. In the winter, it was often so cold that
their hands and lips would bleed, and the children fell ill repeatedly. There was
only one hospital in all of Gaza, and in the Rafah camp only a small First Aid tent
could give immediate attention to the sick. Mousa passed his first year in the tent,
until in 1952 the U.N. built small single-family cinder block structures for
temporary housing, without improving sanitary conditions. That “temporary”
housing remains home for hundreds of thousands of Palestinians more than fifty
years later.

The Abu Marzook family continued to grow after Mousa’s birth, with the
arrival of four more sisters over the next dozen years. Mousa was six years old
when he first attended the U.N. Rafah Refugee School, which was staffed by
Palestinian teachers working for the U.N. His first day at school, Mousa wore his
older brother’s pants, cut off at the knee, because he had no pants of his own.
For a book-bag, his mother used an old shirt, sewing up the trunk and
improvising a strap from the sleeves. At school the teachers regularly cut the
boys’ hair, and forced them to drink powdered milk. When not at school, there
was little for the boys and girls in the camp to play with -- Mousa remembers his
first toys were stones he collected; later, the boys would play soccer with a ball
made of rags bound together. When the weather was hot, they would sometimes
swim in the Mediterranean. In the camps, the company of thousands of other
boys made Mousa’s early childhood years as a refugee relatively happy ones.
But the troubles would soon intensify.

The year 1956 brought new upheaval and terror to Mousa’s family with the
outbreak of the Suez crisis. After Egypt’s defeat Israeli forces occupied the Gaza
Strip, effectively annexing the territory, with IDF troops over-running the refugee
camps. At five years of age, Mousa witnessed the events firsthand, and today he
vividly recalls watching through cracks in the door as soldiers took all the
Palestinian fathers and older boys, and lined them up. Many of the fathers were
beaten and some killed, their bodies thrown in the back of a truck. Mousa
watched as Hasen Salam, a refugee neighbor, kissed the body of his son who

13
had been shot by the Israeli soldiers. Suddenly, the soldiers shot Hasen Salem,
too; the bodies of both father and son were thrown onto the truck like so much
cattle.

The Marzook family looked back at the past and wondered why their
leadership had failed them? The Grand Mufti 25 of al-Quds, Amin el-Husseini had
done all he could to help in the extermination of the Jews and had promised the
Abu Marzook family and many other families like them that the Zionist army
would be repelled and all of the property of the Jews would be seized and divided
up among the native Palestinians. But it was not the Mufti’s empty promises that
turned them into refugees; it was fear of retaliation by the Israelis.

Mousa Marzook was able to attend an Egyptian University, where he was


recruited into the Muslim Brotherhood. He left Palestine for the United States in
1973 where he earned a degree in engineering at the University of Louisiana
then moved to Virginia. Mousa never forgot his past and raised millions of dollars
for Hamas freedom fighters in Palestine, funneling the money though
organizations such the Holy Land Foundation. (The FBI devils uncovered a
personal donation of $210,000 to Holy Land from Dr. Marzook).

In 1990 Dr. Marzook won a Green Card in a United States Government


lottery. In 1993 he took up residence in Jordan but was deported in June 1995 as
a result of Zionist-Crusader pressure. He then worked out of Iran and Syria, a
country that has granted sanctuary to many Brothers in the past.

Secular Syria has supported the Hizb’allah (in many ways the Shi’ite
equivalent of Hamas) militarily and financially for many decades. When the traitor
to Islamism Jamal Ahmed al-Fadl was asked, “Were there any groups within al-
Qaeda from the country of Syria?” he responded, “Yes, Jamaat e Jihal al-Suri. Its
leader was Abu Musab al-Suri.”26 Al-Suri or “The Syrian” was indicted in Spain in
September 2003 for his connection to al-Qaeda’s Madrid train attack that took
place in March 2004. He is the author of the 1,600-page, “The International
Islamic Resistance Call.” On November 18, 2004, the U.S. State Department
offered a $5 million for information leading to his arrest. In November 2005 al-
Suri was arrested in Pakistan.

In 1995 after traveling to the Sudan and meeting Usama bin Laden then
visiting many other countries, Marzook and his wife were questioned and
searched by the INS upon visiting the United States. Mrs. Marzook said that she
did not have an address book with her but a body search uncovered one. FBI
Special Agent John Hummel reported: “After the translation of Marzook’s
telephone/address book, the contents were reviewed and analyzed by FBI
personnel with expertise in Hamas and other terrorist organizations. This review
and analysis of the telephone/address book shows that it contains entries for a

number of documented and suspected terrorists and terrorist organizations
including, but not limited too the following:

a. Hasan al-Turabi, leader of Sudan’s National Islamic


Movement. The Sudan is on the United States’ list of state
sponsors of terrorism. In addition, al-Turabi and the Sudanese
government have provided safe haven for a number of radical
terrorists, including members of Hamas.

b. Ahmed Mohammed Yousef, a former member of the


Sudanese Mission in New York, who, in the spring of 1993,
provided assistance to conspirators involved in two terrorist
initiatives: a plot to assassinate Hosni Mubarak, the president of
Egypt, and a plot to bomb the United Nations. Specifically,
evidence developed in connection with United States vs. Abdel-
Rahman, indicates that Yousef provided the conspirators in that
case with information regarding President Mubarak’s itinerary and
with information concerning, and access to, the United Nations.

c. George Habash, secretary general of the Marxist splinter


group known as the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine,
which has carried out numerous attacks against Israeli and
moderate Arab targets;

d. Coded references to Yassir Arafat; and,

e. The Islamic Call Society in Islamabad, an organization


utilized to channel funds to terrorists [with headquarters in Tripoli,
Libya].

Brother Marzook’s attorney, Stanley L. Cohen, whose Zionist cousin was


killed by Hamas in a jihadi attack, had this to say about S.A. John Hummel’s
analysis of the telephone/address book:

Interestingly, but not surprisingly, the Hummel Affidavit mistakenly


refers to the presence in the book of the name Ahmed Mohammed
Yousef, who it is claimed is a Sudanese who ‘provided assistance
to conspirators involved in two terrorist initiatives.’ Put simply, I
have searched carefully a copy of the entire telephone/address
book as provided by the FBI in an effort to locate the name Ahmed
Mohammed Yousef, but to no avail. While there are two entries for
the not unusual Arabic name of Ahmed Yousef, contrary to the
sworn affidavit of Hummel, neither of them includes the middle
name of Mohammed!

Hummel responded:

15
In paragraph 10(b) of his affirmation, Marzook states that
neither of the persons named Ahmed Yousef - who are listed in his
telephone/address book is, the Ahmed Mohammed Yousef referred
to in paragraph 22 (b) of my affidavit dated October 2, 1995. As set
forth in my earlier affidavit Ahmed Mohammed Yousef is a
Sudanese national employed at the Sudanese Mission. There are
two telephone numbers listed for one of the individuals named
Ahmed Yousef in Marzook’s telephone/address book. One of the
telephone numbers is the main phone number for the Sudanese
Mission in New York City, where Ahmed Mohammed Yousef is
currently employed. At first glance the other telephone number
listed in Marzook’s telephone/address book for this entry is an
internal phone number for Chemical Bank. However, if two of the
digits are reversed in this second telephone number, the phone
number then becomes the non-published home telephone number
for Ahmed Mohammed Yousef.”

As far as the Hassan al-Turabi entry in the address book,


Brother Muhammed Abdul Hamid Khalil Salah had this to say:
“Following the deportation of Hamas activists in December 1992,
Hassan al-Turabi, President of Jama al-Islamiyya in Sudan,
initiated a meeting between Hamas and al-Fatah in Tunis.
Representing Hamas in this meeting was Musa Marzook. Arafat
and the Executive Council of the PLO participated in these talks.
The following points were agreed upon:

1. The establishment of a joint committee that would handle


deportees’ affairs.

2. The establishment of a joint committee that would check out the


matter of Hamas participation in the Palestinian National Congress.

After this agreement al-Turabi, who is the foremost Muslim personality,


declared he agreed with Security Council Resolution 242 [that called for the
withdrawal of Zionist forces from the territories].” 27 In 1995 a PLO – Hamas
understanding was reached wherein Hamas agreed to refrain from military
activity in PLO controlled areas in return for the PLO recognizing Hamas and
Palestinian Islamic Jihad as loyal opposition, whose differences with the PLO
were inconsequential. Arafat then attempted to pressure Israel into releasing
Sheik Yassin.

Brother Marzook was held in a seven-by-eight-foot cell in the Metropolitan


Correction Center in New York City for 18 months, but was never charged with a
crime or even granted a hearing in a U.S. court until ordered extradited to the

Zionist occupation authorities! In January 1997 the Zionist occupation authorities
decided not to receive Dr. Abu Marzook fearing a series of revenge attacks by
Hamas, an action they regret, for it did not appease our yearning for vengeance
and for Jewish blood. The American authorities were forced to deport Marzook to
Jordan in May 1997.28 Many years ago the FBI had proof that Marzook had
designated the Holy Land Foundation as Hamas’ main U.S. fund-raising arm. An
informant described a conference of the Muslim Arab Youth Association at a Los
Angeles hotel from December 30, 1994, to January 2, 1995. The informant said
Holy Land Foundation President Shukri Abu Baker, introduced at an earlier
meeting as a Hamas official, attended the Los Angeles session. Sheik
Muhammed Siam of Hamas gave the keynote address at this conference. 29

Meanwhile back at the FBI, the Radical Fundamentalist Unit had already
been created in March 1994 to persecute Islamists. This Unit handled other
counterintelligence matters, and was responsible for the coordination of
extraterritorial intelligence operations and criminal investigations targeted at
radical fundamentalist “terrorists,” yet it failed to move on Hamas. The Clinton
Administration was convinced the “Middle East Peace Process” would soon
make all of this moot. This was its policy – no proactive terrorism investigations.
Brother Marzook and his wife, Nadia Elashi, were finally indicted in December
2002. Neither Marzook, who the government labeled a “specially designated
terrorist” nor his wife have been arrested. They are in Syria and senior Justice
Department officials said they are fugitives. The couple was charged with
concealing Marzook’s investment in Infocom Incorporated, and payments made
by Infocom to Marzook, who, as a designated terrorist, could not invest in a
company that was founded by the Holy Land Foundation in 1987. 30 On August
20, 2004 Marzook and Muhammed Abdul Hamid Khalil Salah were honored by a
superceding indictment for the work their work that spanned fifteen years.

MOHAMMED SALAH: HAMAS IN AMERICA

“Specially Designated Global Terrorist” Muhammed Abdul Hamid Khalil


Salah, a respectable Bridgeview, Illinois, resident and member of the Muslim
Brotherhood since 197831 was second in command of Hamas’ American main
branch office. Salah was a humanitarian who distributed money collected in the
U.S. to needy West Bank Palestinian families – families who were in need of
weapons and explosives. U.S. law enforcement had Brother Salah under
investigation or surveillance prior to 1993 but it was the Israelis who arrested
him.

In 1993, Zionist intelligence detained Salah on suspicion of transferring
hundreds of thousands of dollars to Hamas for guns and ammunition. 32 In 1994,
at Salah’s secret military trial in the Zionist entity, Naser Hidmi, formerly a student
at Kansas State University stated in an affidavit that he accepted Salah’s
invitation to a four-day “retreat” at a camp in the Chicago area in June 1990. At
the camp, he studied Hamas philosophy and received explosives training. 33 In
1991 Salah served as a financial agent for Hamas, opening accounts at a
number of Chicago-area banks.34 Salah was interrogated and tortured. The
transcripts of these interrogations:

Shin Bet Agent: And if they [Hamas] murder how does this help
you? Namely what is the purpose of murdering many people?

Salah: For the moment I am talking as a Hamas leader. The


purpose is that you should get out of here.

Shin Bet Agent: Namely if you kill many people do you think that
the Jews will decide to get out of here?

Salah: Aha (yes).

Shin Bet Agent: Is this your opinion?

Salah: No (Interrupted).

Shin Bet Agent: So easily?

Salah: No - but slowly slowly - namely there is a struggle. With time


you will get out. If the West bank becomes like Gaza (interrupted).
Namely you will-decide to get out.

Shin Bet Agent: Why? On the contrary from this point of view it
prolongs our stay here, it adds a reason for our staying here. Don’t
you understand? (Do) you know what people whom want us to get
out of the territories say? They say that we should get out of there.
What do we need the territories for? What are the people there
building for? Others say, What are you mad? Will we get out now?
If we get out now - when we get out it will be more ... (corrects)
more difficult?

Salah: (Do) you know what is the thing that frightens us the most?
The settlements. When we see that settlements are being built and
that people live in them, we say: Enough – These Jews do not want
to get out. (PAUSES) The subject of Jerusalem affects us very
much. [Do] you know that Jerusalem is in the heart of every
Muslim. Namely, not Hamas - not the Arabs and not ‘Abu Amar’
can say to you: ‘Here you are Mister Jew you can have Jerusalem
when we see how you focus on Jerusalem whose width and length
have become sixteen k.m.’ The first thing this makes you feel is it is
impossible that the Jews will leave it.

Shin Bet Agent: Of course they will not leave it. Why? Do you think
that the Jews will leave Jerusalem? Even if a million people are
killed will the Jews leave Jerusalem?

Salah: Yes, but you must leave al-Aqsa.

Shin Bet Agent: Al-Aqsa is another matter. You talked about


sixteen k.m. What are you talking about? About the mountains
around Jerusalem or are you talking about al-Aqsa?

Salah: No. The whole of Jerusalem. Jerusalem as a capital must be


divided or it will be international (interrupted) but under Jewish
control it is difficult. I am talking now realistically.

Shin Bet Agent: Namely you want to take the Wailing Wall once
again.

Salah: No. The Wailing Wall is yours.

Shin Bet Agent: If so why should we not live together? You can
enter the Temple Mount and we’ll be able to... (interrupted).

Salah: There is no objection to that (interrupted). I am talking to you


realistically.35

Judith Miller was allowed to observe Salah on closed circuit television on


February 11, 1993, and the government of Israel provided documents to her, and
Judith Miller produced documents and/or recordings pursuant to her observation
of Salah that are maintained by either the United States government or the
government of Israel. Miller was a witness at Salah’s latest trial. It was on
interrogations such as this and reports of a neo-con agent that press releases
were issued by the government of Israel asserting that Salah was a collaborator
and cooperating with the Israelis. The government of Israel immediately released
false information to the press portraying Salah as a collaborator to put Salah in

added fear for his personal safety inside the detention facility and created a
psychologically coercive atmosphere calculated to heighten his feelings of
isolation and dependence.

In 1995, Salah pleaded guilty to funneling funds to Hamas and served


about five years in an Israelian prison before being released and deported to the
U.S. Muhammed Salah returned to the Chicago area and has worked as a
computer analyst for the Quranic Literacy Institute. Saudi Brother Yassin al-Kadi
contributed much money to the Quranic Literacy Institute and sent $27,000
directly to Salah in March 1992.36

In 2002 Muhammed Salah applied for a job as a part-time lecturer on


computer systems at City Colleges of Chicago's Olive-Harvey College, but he
was fired in 2003 for failing to disclose the fact he had been a political prisoner in
Israel. Muhammed Salah also worked for a time as a substitute teacher for the
Chicago Public Schools and was removed from the list of approved substitutes at
the same time he was fired by Olive-Harvey College. In August 2004 Muhammed
Abdul Hamid Khalil Salah was charged with racketeering conspiracy for allegedly
joining with 20 others since at least 1988 to conduct business for Hamas. His
attorney, Michael A. Deutsch, a Jew and a member of the Communistic National
Lawyers Guild, is fighting to have the statements Salah made while being
tortured by the Israelis deemed inadmissible but he might not have a problem
because of the atmosphere in America has turned against terrorism convictions.
In fact in September 2006 the Justice Department dropped the charge that he
gave material support to “terrorists,” a move that surprised defense lawyers.
Prosecutors gave no explanation in court and declined to comment afterward.
Salah remains charged with racketeering conspiracy and lying by denying
membership in Hamas.

ABORTED HAMAS NEW YORK CITY SUBWAY OPERATION


AN UNREALIZED AMBITION

Al-Qaeda was determined to detonate an explosive device on a Jew York


City subway train in 1994. Abdul Hakim Murad related,

Sometime in November 1994 Yousef went to the Philippines. And


in the event of the bombing of an underground railroad in New
York, Yousef, who was then in Manila called up the subject in
Dubai and instructed the latter to make a phone call to the US
Embassy in Oman and make an announcement claiming the
responsibility over the said bombing incident. The Subject’s
announcement goes as follows: This is the Liberation Army. We are
claiming responsibility over the bombing of the underground-
railroad in New York City.37

After Ramzi Yousef, was, shall we say, unavoidably detained, Hamas took
over where he left off.

ABU MEZER / HARD CORE HAMAS

Brother Gazi Ibrahim Abu Mezer along with his


roommate Lafi Khalil 38 were used in the “underground
railroad” project, however, Abu Mezer was only twenty-five
years old and was more adept at the tactics of the Intifada
than at certain essential security procedures. In the early
1960’s Zionist authorities had expelled Abu Mezer’s family
from their home and businesses in Tel Aviv. They had
nothing but the clothes on their backs. Before Abu Mezer
was born, his father and older brothers were detained as
suspected “terrorists” and the Israelis used this as an excuse to seize the rest of
the family’s property. After Abu Mezer's birth in 1971, the family continued to
suffer. Abu Mezer's family lived in abject poverty. During his early childhood, his
mother was ill with breast cancer and frequently hospitalized. His father
encouraged his family to learn about Palestinian culture at the local mosque,
where he met many people who were hardcore Hamas members. When he was
only three years old, his mother died, causing the family a great deal of suffering.
After this, Abu Mezer basically lived like an orphan, cared for by everybody and
nobody. He would go to school with his sister before he was old enough to be
attending school. When he was old enough to attend school, the message was
given to schoolchildren by Hamas to demonstrate in the streets against the
Israelis rather than attend school. Abu Mezer thus came to realize that violent
street protests were an appropriate expression of political beliefs. Eventually,
because of Hamas activities Abu Mezer's school was closed for five or six years.
Many of Abu Mezer's friends were shot and killed during these protests. As a
result of these experiences, Abu Mezer was radicalized. Abu Mezer suffered a
deprived and traumatic childhood growing up in Hebron in the West Bank of
Israel during great political turmoil. On multiple occasions, Israeli soldiers
violently broke into the family's home late at night to question Abu Mezer's
brother about his protests against Israel. On one such occasion, Abu Mezer
witnessed the soldiers' humiliation and torture of his father, whom he loved
passionately, in front of the whole family. They threatened to kill his father,
placing a gun to his head and a knife to his throat. In the 1980’s Abu Mezer's
father's latest successful commercial enterprises were burned and destroyed.

In 1987, at age fourteen, he participated in the Intifada, and since that


time, Mezer engaged in other protests and demonstrations seeking the return of
Palestinian lands. In 1989, while he was participating in a celebration honoring
“Abu Jihad,” an Israeli soldier shot off part of a finger on his right hand. While
incarcerated in Israel as a teenager, Abu Mezer suffered greatly. He was kept in

38
. USDC EDNY 01-Civ-2525-Raggi; 97-Cr-804-Raggi

21
prison for three months and subjected to excruciating tortures. During his initial
interrogation, he was made to stand chained for hours in one position with no
sleep or food and forced to urinate and defecate on himself. When he collapsed
or even moved slightly, he was beaten severely and threatened with electric
shocks. After the first week of interrogation, Abu Mezer was regularly whipped
with wires and caned, and his body still bears the scars of this ordeal. After his
release he was still tortured by the Israeli soldiers. On one occasion, he was
beaten with a gun until his bones broke. On other occasions, he was tied to the
front of an Israeli jeep and used as a shield to discourage protesters from
throwing stones or shooting at the jeep. On occasions he was driven around for
an entire day chained to the front of a jeep.

Israel admitted it detained Mezer for 42 days in 1990 for a security charge
and for 88 days in 1990 to 1991, based on an “administrative” charge. During
these detentions, he suffered physical and psychological torture, as well as
sexual harassment and abuse. Abu Mezer tried to commit suicide by hanging
himself, only to be thwarted by the Israeli authorities. He was also accused of
being a member of Hamas based on his participation in student union protests.
From March 1991 to about March 1992, Zionist authorities gave Mezer a green
identity card that identified him as a security risk, and restricted his travel and
residence to Hebron. Zionist soldiers beat and harassed him, raided his home,
continually accused him of being a member of Hamas. Abu Mezer's brother and
other siblings managed to survive this horrible period. Abu Mezer's brother
became a successful Islamist movement lawyer and sent Abu Mezer to Canada,
to be cared for by Brothers, where he would reside until receiving further
instructions from Hamas. There, Abu Mezer married a Polish woman named
Esther and they had a son. His wife refused to convert to Islam and his marriage
ended.

Brother Mezer claimed that in June 1996 he was on a mission to


assassinate Clinton the He-Goat. He told a Brooklyn federal jury “I failed to
assassinate President Clinton in Seattle, Washington.” The Immigration and
Naturalization Service apprehended Abu Mezer trying to enter the United States
on June 26, 1996 and then on June 29, 1996. President Clinton was in Seattle
addressing the 64th Annual Conference of Mayors on June 22, 1996. Either he
had gone back to Canada after making earlier attempts to enter the United
States or he was lying.

After Abu Mezer’s third detention on January 14, 1997, the INS began
formal deportation proceedings against him, but Abu Mezer was freed on bond
while the proceedings were pending. INS Agent Mark Essing decided to notify
the FBI about his apprehension of Abu Mezer. INS Agent Mark Essing stated in a
memorandum after Mezer’s arrest in Brooklyn that he might have referred Mezer
to the FBI as a “possible terrorist.” After his release, Abu Mezer filed an asylum
application stating that he suffered from a fear of persecution if he were deported
to Israel because the Israeli government wrongly suspected that he was a

22
member of Hamas. Abu Mezer withdrew this asylum application, representing
through his attorney that he had left the United States.

Abu Mezer became an illegal and moved to Brooklyn, New York, where he
was to strike the New York City subway system. Abu Mezer was to carry out this
attack shortly after a Hamas action in Jerusalem, striking fear in the heart of
every Jew as they would come to the inescapable conclusion that they were not
safe anywhere! Mezer assembled a deadly anti-personnel Improvised Explosive
Device and was about to detonate it on a crowded subway car filled with Jews
when on July 31, 1997, police officers from the New York City Police Department
raided Mezer and Khalil’s Brooklyn apartment due to a tip from a third roommate
and alleged conspirator, Abdelrahman Mosabbah.

MOSABBAH

Abu Mezer knew Abdelrahman Mosabbah less than a month, yet he


confided his plans to this possible Egyptian intelligence agent who had once
worked for the Egyptian Government’s radio station known as The Voice of the
Arabs. Abdelrahman Mosabbah traveled from Egypt to the United States on July
14, 1997. Initially he stayed at the sleazy Carter Hotel on Times Square and said
he planned to go to Jersey City however he went to an Arab-owned store and
began to make inquiries as to what neighborhood was inhabited by Muslims. He
was told to go around Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn. When he arrived at Atlantic
Avenue he met a gentleman known only by the name of Mohammed.
Mohammed took him to 248 Fourth Avenue. He stayed there that day and night.
The following night Abu Mezer arrived from North Carolina carrying a backpack
and another bag and the two became roommates. Later that evening, it was
decided that Abdelrahman Mosabbah and Abu Mezer would share the bedroom
previously occupied by Abdelrahman Mosabbah alone. During the two weeks
that they were together Abdelrahman Mosabbah observed Abu Mezer bringing in
batteries, flashlight, bulbs, long pieces of wire, pieces of pipe and also some
black bags. On July 23, 1997 Mosabbah was going to a photocopy store to make
copies of his resume and other documents. Abu Mezer gave Mosabbah a yellow
paper that was folded many times and contained one word written many times on
the back, and asked Mosabbah to copy it. Mosabbah agreed and later provided
Mezer with the copies. This document was later identified as the letter attached
to the IED. A copy was also sent to the United States Department of State Hero
Rewards Program along with a matchstick in the envelope in which it was mailed.

MEZER CONFIDES IN MOSABBAH DESPITE HIS LACK OF BONA FIDES

Mezer asked Abdelrahman Mosabbah to assist him on three separate


occasions. First, Mezer brought out a battery, a bulb and some wire and asked
Mosabbah to help him light the bulb. Second, Mezer replaced the bulb with
matchsticks and, using the wire, ignited the matchsticks. On a third occasion,
Mezer again brought out the battery, wire and a can containing “gray granules or
tablets.” Using the wire, Mezer ignited the granules and told Mosabbah that it
was gunpowder. During his trial Mezer tried to implicate Mosabbah in the
manufacture of the bomb:

Q. Did you bring any of the pipes and wires and things back from
North Carolina with you?

A. Yes, I bring some. I purchase some stuff from there.

Q. Did you and Abdelrahman Mosabbah do anything with those


things when you were in the apartment here in New York?

A. Yes, we did. We did make a bomb.

Q. What did you do and what did Mosabbah do?

A. We -- first thing, I am the one who supposed to be making the


bomb, but Mosabbah tell me during his military in Egypt he knows

24
how to use all kinds of guns, and he told me that he knows how to
make the bomb, so he give me some certain ideas to be safe when
we make the bomb.

Q. What specifically do you remember did Mosabbah tell you about


how to make the bomb?

A. He was very interested for making of the bomb. He give some


advices, like to be worry about when we making the bombs and we
use the small lights to test it before we know that the bomb is good
communication -- good electric goes very good there…When
Mosabbah asked me, “What will you do with this gunpowder,” I
responded, “I will burn the Jews like this. I will kill as many Jews as
possible!”

In a letter to Judge Rena Raggi Abu Mezer explained: “Regarding me


taking the stand. I was trying to tell the jurors and explain to them about the role
of Mosabbah in the bomb. After I had told Mosabbah about having bomb making
material with me he started to influence me and using religion and making me
excited about the Jewish people who are killing Muslims in Palestine…I been
used Ms. Ragge…” At Mezer’s trial he was asked:

Q. Why did you come to New York City particularly?

A. After I finish seeing president Clinton in Seattle, Washington.

Q. Did you come to New York because it had a large Jewish


population?

A. Because of the mosque massacre, the one I cited in my asylum


application.39

Q. There are a lot of Jews on the B train, would you agree?

A. I heard one time Mr. Selim said when we are with me and Mr.
Selim and Mr. Mosabbah was saying and we came from downtown
traveling, walking around and then there is some Jews on the B
train and they started looking at us. They knew that we are Middle
Eastern. Mr. Selim goes we should bomb this train. I said why you
want to blowup this train. This is the B line. All the Jews are using
this line.

Q. So you believed that that would be one place that you could use
the bomb and kill Jews, correct?

39
. A reference to Baruch Goldstien was found on Mezer’s computer.

25
A. Not really.

Q. When you came to the United States you were treated pretty
well, weren't you?

A. They only follow the law. They don't do something from the
heart. They kill you by the law.

Q. You don't like Yassir Arafat do you?

A. No, I don't. He's a traitor.

Q. You have worked for a free Palestine, correct? You support


people who work for a free Palestine, correct? Such as Ramzi
Yousef?

A. Yes.

Abu Mezer told Abdelrahman Mosabbah that he had learned bomb


making in Israel and was in a continuous Jihad because his land been stolen. At
the end of July another amateur jihadi, Lafi Khalil arrived at the apartment from
North Carolina and greeted Mezer warmly. Lafi Khalil then began staying at the
apartment, sleeping in the bedroom with Abu Mezer.

On the morning of July 30, 1997 Abdelrahman Mosabbah awoke and


found himself alone with Abu Mezer in the apartment. Later, Mezer became
agitated and informed Abdelrahman Mosabbah that the radio had broadcast a
story about an incident in Jerusalem. Mezer then began reading from a yellow
paper -- the letter -- in English, telling Mosabbah that this “is the first message of
mine.” Mezer then brought Mosabbah into the bedroom and showed him a
backpack containing four pipes surrounded by nails and batteries, saying, “This
is the second message which is the bombs.” Mezer then explained to Mosabbah
that he intended to place the bag containing the bombs in a subway car on a
subway line in Brooklyn, New York, frequented by orthodox Jews and stay near
the door of the car. When the doors were near closing, Mezer intended to ignite
the switches and leave the train. Mosabbah testified:

The truth is, he told me he will take these bombs and explode them
in a subway or in a bus or any bus, or any gathering. He said in
reference to the subway, he will come to station and a door will
open. The people will exit and people will enter. He said that he will
be among the people or one of the people who enter and he will be
near the door. He will put the bag and the switches in his hand, and
during the closing of the door or near the nearness to the closing of
the door, he will pull the switches of it, and the train will move in
one direction and he will walk in the opposite direction. I said to

26
him, actually commented that: You will be the first one to die. His
answer was, he said: If I die, I consider myself to be a Shaheed.
And if I do not die, whoever obstructs me from among the people,
after all I will try to exit, anybody who will actually oppose me while I
was exiting, I will also pierce him with this dagger.

Abdelrahman Mosabbah informed a Long Island Railroad policeman of


the plot and was taken to the local precinct house. The police returned to the
apartment and entered without a warrant. During the raid Mezer and Lafi Khalil
tried to grab the weapons of the police and detonate their explosive devices.
They were both seriously wounded. Abdelrahman Mosabbah was asked why he
turned his Brother in:

Because there are two reasons. The first reason is it’s a human,
very human reason. I am about to see a crime against innocents,
and I had a chance to save as much as I could. Because I imagine
myself one among those innocent people. The second reason is it's
personal. Because I have learned about a crime and about the
person about to explode bombs and my keeping quiet which mean I
would be an accessory to a crime.

MEZER FIT THE PROFILE OF A HAMAS/Al-QAEDA SOLDIER

Despite the Kahane assassination, despite the bombing of the World


Trade Center, despite the unearthing of our plans to paralyze New York City by
destroying its bridges and tunnels and despite a confession and incontrovertible
evidence that Abu Mezer was connected to al-Qaeda through the Hamas
network the Justice Department treated him and Brother Lafi Khalil as loners.

Stanley L. Cohen said that Moussa Abu Marzook told him that the
suspects were “cowboys who were probably upset by the conditions of the
Palestinian people. It’s ridiculous and a total lie that Hamas had anything to do
with these guys wanting to plant pipe bombs.” 40 Marzook was covering up for the
Brothers and the FBI believed him. The Brooklyn Subway (aborted) Underground
Railroad Operation bore all of the trademarks of a joint Hamas - al-Qaeda
operation although the principals had never been trained in Afghanistan. Abu
Mezer followed the rules set forth in al-Qaeda handbook and cut his beard and
wore no skullcap, he rarely attended religious services and when he did it was at
the Al-Farooq Mosque where Sheik Omar Abdul Rahman had preached. Before
he was tried and sentenced Mezer had tried to escape. While he was going to
court he slipped out of his cuffs and attempted to make a run for it and when he
was in court he stood up on the witness table and pushed the tiles in on the
ceiling of the courthouse. When he felt Lafi Khalil was thinking about cooperating
he attacked his co-defendant in the courthouse men’s room. Mezer had a book
by Sheik Omar Abdul Rahman and he was a follower of Sheik Omar Abdul

40

27
Rahman, he claimed to have been involved in a plot to kill Clinton just as Ramzi
Yousef was and he expressed sympathy for Ramzi Yousef.

Time Magazine had this to say about the Brothers:

The FBI has linked two suspects in a Brooklyn suicide-bombing plot


to the militant Mideast group Hamas. Palestinian security officials
think the two suspects could be members of a new group, financed
by Saudi dissident Usama bin Laden, which takes its orders from
Hamas or another Islamist group.

In an opening statement Mezer’s attorney admitted she was not sure of


the name of the Islamist organization Abu Mezer was accused of belonging to:
“He will claim that he talks to Abu Mezer and their talks lead to Abu Mezer
launching into all sorts of anti-Israeli harangues. He talks about Abu Mezer
having built a bomb and writing a letter on behalf of some organization called it is
almost not pronounceable -- the El Hal -- something like that, and how parading
around with the pipes in a bag and inviting Mosabbah to sit through three
demonstrations involving wires and batteries and gun powder.” The Justice
Department’s annual report on terrorism stated: “By the years end the FBI was
unable to establish a direct nexus between the subjects and any terrorist
organizations, including radical extremist groups.” 41

FBI Agent Anticev questioned Abu Mezer, as Abu Mezer lay gravely
wounded in the hospital and Abu Mezer admitted his membership in Hamas.
Mezer’s attorney tried to deal with her client’s statement even though the United
States Justice Department was determined to ignore it: Mezer’s attorney, the
court appointed Jew Jan Rostal said this during a suppression hearing:

MS. ROSTAL: One of the concerns that we have on the Hamas


statement, I know from the colloquy we had and other discussions I
had with the government, they do not believe, and in their very
extensive investigation, that Mr. Abu Mezer is in fact a member of
Hamas, and we would want to bring that out.

THE COURT: That they do believe he's a member of Hamas?

MS. ROSTAL: That he's not a member, that there's no evidence to


suggest he's a member of Hamas. Is the court going to allow me to
inquire of Agent Anticev, who is part of the Terrorist Task Force,
whether he was able to confirm or not whether Abu Mezer is a
member of the Hamas, whether he was able to confirm the truth of
that statement?

41
. FBI Terrorism In The United States 1997 http://news.findlaw.com/hdocs/docs/fbi/fbiterror97.pdf

28
AUSA MIRAGLIOTTA: My anticipation is that Agent Anticev has no
knowledge of that.

THE COURT: I was told that the sole purpose you wanted to put in
this statement was because you thought you would explore with
Agent Anticev the fact that your client was being compelled to make
these statements, and that doesn't sound like what your interest is.
I would not admit it.

During the trial Jan Rostal had this exchange with Judge Raggi:

MS. ROSTAL: The first question is it appears that he was asked if


he belonged to a group, and he twice stated he is a supporter of
Hamas. Upon further inquiry, he then stated he was with Hamas.
Which would suggest that he started out by saying he is a
supporter, they continued persisting him with questions, and at the
end of that inquiry was that he said ‘Yes, okay, I'm Hamas.’ Which I
think would be consistent with the argument we would make to the
jury that these statements are induced by his medical condition,
partly by the suggestion of inquiring agents. So we would obviously
want that in order to make that argument. Whether he is or isn't with
Hamas isn't the issue. So it is not if it is true, but rather the
chronology of the questions and answers.

THE COURT: I find this curious. I mean, I thought that the


government was not contending or going to try to paint your client
to the jury as a member of some terrorist organization, and you're
telling me you want to put before the jury his admissions that he is
a member of Hamas. I just want to make sure that at ten after six I
understand that it is the defense that wants it before the jury that
Mr. Abu Mezer says he is a member of Hamas.

MS. ROSTAL: All government investigation would indicate to the


contrary, and I think that's the point: that the argument I made in
opening is that the statements that you are going to hear about at
5:50 P.M. are the product of fantasies, really.

THE COURT: How did you intend to prove that he is not a member
of Hamas? Because as far as I know, the FBI is not empowered to,
like, give out certificates for who is or who is not a member of an
organization. I gather the government has not characterized the
defendant that way at trial because they don't think they have to
prove that he is a member of a specific terrorist organization so
they are not adopting a burden beyond what the charges are. Miss
Miragliotta, do you have a real problem with putting this in as part of

29
the whole statement if the defense is bound and determined to
have it before the jury?

MS. ROSTAL: When he was stating he belongs to a group, it twice


states he is a supporter of Hamas… Upon further inquiry, then, he
is led by the agents into saying that he is a member of Hamas.

THE COURT: I won't hold either side to this. We are articulating the
issue and I will hear everyone finally on Monday, but the defense is
going to oppose your excluding that part, so you decide how much
you think it matters whether it comes in or not.

AUSA MIRAGLIOTTA: Obviously, the part that we are seeking to


exclude, and the reason I'm seeking to exclude it because there is
no basis for admission of it, is the second part of the statement
about whether he had any additional support and whether it was his
own idea. Of course the only reason the defense is trying to
introduce the Hamas statement is to introduce that latter statement
which is improper and there is no basis for it. So they are going to
introduce a statement just to impeach it, which makes no sense.

THE COURT: Is that right? Is it that you want to impeach the other
statement with the statement the government's excluding?

MS. ROSTAL: You mean the second statement, about not having
any support?

THE COURT: Right. That therefore how could he possibly be a


Hamas member if he doesn't have any support?

MS. ROSTAL: No. As I told you at the beginning, the 806 argument
is one I'm not prepared to make at this moment.

During the trial Anticev was cross-examined about what he


was told:

Q. Now, Abu Mezer also told you, when you were speaking to him,
that -- well, you asked Abu Mezer when you were speaking to him if
he belonged to any group, right? And he said what?

A. He said he's the supporter of Hamas.

Q. Now, what is Hamas?

A. I'm not too familiar with Hamas, but it is guess I will call it a
terrorist organization.

30
Q. And when you first asked him he said he's a supporter, he didn't
say he was part of Hamas?

A. He said he was a supporter, I believe he said that twice.

Q. So he says I'm a supporter of Hamas, I'm a supporter of Hamas


and you asked him another question, you further inquired about his
ties to Hamas, then he said that he is with Hamas?

A. Correct.

Q. Now, after he changed from being a supporter of Hamas to


being with Hamas, what else did he say on that subject?

A. I believe he said that all Palestinians are with Hamas.

Q. In your experience with the Terrorist Joint Task Force, is it true


that all Palestinians are with Hamas?

A. No, it is not true.

Q. In your experience with the terrorist task force and involvement


in this investigation, is it true that Mr. Abu Mezer was with Hamas?

AUSA MIRAGLIOTTA: Objection.

THE COURT: Sustained.

Q. Did Mr. Abu Mezer say whom he was working with in Hamas?

A. He said he was working by himself.

When Abu Mezer took the stand in his own defense he was asked:

Q. After you were operated on, after they put on the mask -- you
remember putting the mask on, you remember talking to or any
other FBI agents?

A. There's too many around. I couldn't know.

Q. Do you remember anything about the conversations that you


had with them, what they said to you and what you said to them?

A. No.

31
Q. Do you know what Hamas is?

A. Yes, I know.

Q. Are you a member of Hamas?

A. No. But I support Hamas.

Q. The question is, are you a member, are you or have you ever
been a member of Hamas?

A. No.

MEZER’S BROTHER NUR WAS A LEADER OF HAMAS

Abu Mezer often telephoned his brother Nur Mezer from phone booths in
a nearby Laundromat and grocery store in his Park Slope neighborhood. Lafi
Khalil told the FBI that Abu Mezer insisted that he needed money to call his
brother. Khalil went into a store and purchased a stolen telephone card for $9 or
$10. Mezer telephoned his brother Nur in the West Bank using this card. Lafi
Khalil stated that when he had his immigration problem solved, he was going to
go to Kuwait and Mezer wanted to send a money order to his brother Nur through
Lafi Khalil. Mosabbah was asked about Nur:

Q. Mr. Mosabbah, did you ever hear Mr. Abu Mezer talking about
his family? You heard him talking about his brother in the West
Bank?

A. Yes.

Q. And you know that he called him a number of times, correct?

A. He used to tell me that he phoned him once or something like


that.

Q. And he seemed to think highly of his brother, right?

A. Yes. He did speak about a brother of his who was over there
who is a big personality or a large personality. But the truth is I did
not hear him speaking to him or dealing with him.

Q. Did he ever talk about taking responsibility for any past acts of
violence, such as the T.W.A. bombing or the World Trade Center?
Did he ever talk about that with you?

A. No. I don't recall anything like that.

32
At Mezer’s sentencing his attorney said: “Nur Mezer claims to be working
for peace in a more diplomatic fashion.”

MEZER’S HAMAS HELPERS: THE INSTRUCTION BOOK

After he arrived in the United States via Canada Abu Mezer was given
detailed instructions on how to construct an Improvised Explosive Device. Here is
an excerpt from it:

Anything that can be done for testing to assure that it is operating


properly. The electric circuit can be opened and closed easily. The
battery chosen depends on the number of pipes. If you are using
one pipe, you should use the right size battery. Then, the wires can
be stretched as far as you like, all you have to do is be far away,
and connect the wires anyway you like. If you need to test it,
connect the wires somewhere outside the city, in the mountains.
Place nails around the pipe because nails can fly once the wires
are connected. Learn and try to use anything. The pipe can be
placed on top of a propane gas cylinder for a more powerful
explosion. You need a pipe of five pieces, it could be prepared. The
whole thing is a pipe threaded at both ends. A pipe threaded from
the inside + a pipe threaded from the inside, of a width similar to the
first pipe + iniftah at both ends to seal the pipe. The hairdryer wire
in the middle of the pipe, filling the pipe with gunpowder through
one miftah while having the other sealed. I will call you to explain
further.” Mezer was asked:

Q. Now, you told Agent Anticev that you didn't have any written
instructions, is that correct?

A. Yes. I throw it in the garbage.

Q. And on that written instructions someone says they are going to


call you, is that correct?

A. On the instructions?

Q. Yes. Yes or no. Doesn't it say that someone is going to call you
if you have any questions?

A. I got no phone to call me.

Q. But maybe you're calling them?

A. Yes.

33
THE COURT: Don't argue with the witness. Ask him a question.

Q. And you didn't tell Agent Anticev anything about those written
instructions, is that correct?

A. I said I ripped it like four days -- I thought they pick up the


garbage. In fact, in my house there is none.

Q. But it is in the garbage outside?

A. Yes. They supposed to pick up the garbage every day. I don't


know it took every four days for them to pick up the garbage.

Q. Also in those instructions they told you about what pipes to buy
and told you what size they should be?

A. Correct.

Q. You knew all of that when you went into Lowe's to buy the pipes,
correct?

A. Yes, I know it already.

Q. Those instructions that you had were written in Arabic, correct?

A. Yes.

Q. You didn't write them, did you?

A. No, I did write.

Q. You were going to call yourself, is that correct?

A. No. I going to call somebody.

According to the jailhouse snitch Salami, when news of a bombing on


Atlantic Avenue came on, our Brother “Ahmad Suleiman explained to me that the
nails that were used for that bombing were big nails, they were supposed to have
used smaller nails.”

A PASSPORT FROM HAMAS

Mosabbah was asked:

Q. Had you ever seen Mezer’s passport?

34
A. I did not see it from the inside but he has one produced to me,
an American passport. He said to me this is an American passport,
it belongs to me.

Q. Was Amir's picture in that passport?

A. No.

THE COURT: This is a passport in the name of Jeffrey Katz.

AUSA MIRAGLIOTTA: Right. All the witness recalls is seeing a


United States passport that Mr. Mezer told him was his, but he
noted the picture was not Mr. Abu Mezer's picture on the passport.

After he was wounded during his arrest in the United States Abu Mezer
told nurse Berlia Brown he had been to Canada and had five passports, that he
was into various criminal activities, namely credit card scams, drugs and stolen
cars. (Mezer forgot to mention his arrests for alien smuggling and sexual
misconduct). He also told her he had $200,000 put away to give to his mother,
more like $20,000 that was given to the families of Hamas Shaheeds by Iraq
around this time.

THE PHONE NUMBER OF MEZERS HANDLERS

Mosabbah testified that Mezer wanted him to contact his handlers after
the attack: “He asked me, did you have dinner? I said no. And we sat together for
a while. And after that he started talking, telling me, imagine by tomorrow I will be
a Shaheed. I tried to look normal although I was suffering from a shock inside
me. After that he asked me or requested from me another request. He brought a
piece of a matchbook and he wrote on it a telephone number and he told me
after the execution or after the happening of the matter that I am going to
undertake, you contact this number, and tell them about what has happened to
me.

Q. How did he tell you to identify yourself to the person you were
calling?

A. The truth is he told me talk to them about what happened to


Amir and if he asks you who are you and how come you know tell
him he reminds you of the Hyatt Regency.

Q. What do you recall about the telephone number that Amir gave
you?

35
A. It was a number; I believe it was international, because it had
many digits.

Q. Did you ask Mr. Abu Mezer what was meant by that?

A. I asked him what this Hyatt Regency means?

Q. Didn't you think that was a little odd for him to make that request
of you?

A. What do you mean, strange or odd?

Q. I am asking you. Did you think it was strange of him to make this
request that you call a total stranger and tell them about what
happened?

A. Yeah. But as from the moment of the bombs, everything that


was happening was strange.

Q. But you thought, didn't you that the Hyatt Regency note might
have something to do with someone involved with the bombs? Is
that fair to say?

A. The truth is I didn't think that much about that.

Q. But when you called Agent Mikalic a month or so later, you told
him about it because you thought it might be relevant to their
investigation?

A. He asked me what could this mean? I told him, this could be


important. What does this mean to him? I told him this could be
important to me. It could be also that it could be a regular -- not a
regular person, that is also a possibility.

Q. Now, the night of July 30th, when you went to the police, you
didn't mention anything about the Hyatt Regency note, correct?

A. Yes, sir.

Q. And do you have that note still? The Hyatt Regency note?

A. The paper which has the number?

Q. Yes.

A. No.

36
Q. Where is it?

A. I threw it away as soon as I left the apartment.

ISLAMIC JIHAD

Detective Palermo, who questioned Mosabbah testified: “He was afraid


and he was upset because Mezer told him that he was very angry because of
what happened between Jerusalem and Palestine and also the day prior on July
29th he received a summons for jumping a turnstile. He also stated that maybe by
doing this incident that he would become a member of the Islamic Jihad. Mezer
claimed just the opposite was true:

Q. Now, during the time that Mr. Mosabbah was living in the
apartment with you, what if anything did you discuss with him?

A. We discuss making Jihad in United States.

Q. Well, what did you say and what did he say?

A. His expression is he want -- Mosabbah, he want to be to be


member of Jihad organization.

SHEIK RAHMAN

Brother Mezer was a follower of Sheik Omar Abdul Rahman and attended
the Al-Farooq Mosque, where the Sheik had preached. Agent Anticev was
asked:

Q. Now, at some point in your interview you asked him if he had


ever been to the Al-Farooq Mosque?

A. I believe Special Agent Dew asked that question.

Q. So both of you were asking questions of him during this


interview?

A. Both of us were, right.

Q. And Agent Dew then asked him if he had ever been to the Al-
Farooq Mosque and he first said what?

A. He first stated that he was not.

37
Q. And Agent Dew then asked him again whether he had been to
the Al-Farooq Mosque, correct? And after he was again pressed on
the Al-Farooq Mosque question he said that he had been there,
right?

A. Correct.

Mezer had attended Jumma prayers the Al-Farooq Mosque, a violation of


the rules set forth in the al-Qaeda handbook, but he never wore a skullcap or
beard and he attended no political meetings.

Abu Mezer’s lawyers felt that any mention of Sheik Omar Abdul Rahman
would be prejudicial, however, the Assistant United States Attorney disagreed:

AUSA MIRAGLIOTTA: Mr. Mezer expressed great pride in the


Sheik and that he thought his views about violence were
appropriate and ones that he supported. Your Honor, as we said in
our papers, we believe that's important because those are views
expressed in the letters sent to the State Department that was
found with the bomb and, also, that individual, the Sheik, was
mentioned in that letter.

MS. ROSTAL: Judge, we would object to the admissibility of,


obviously, the book [written by Sheik Omar Abdul Rahman]. We
think that –

Mezer was asked about the reference to the Sheik in his ultimatum:

Q. Did there come a time when a letter was written that started off
in English with "In the Name of the Gade"?

A. We write this letter and Mosabbah said that Sheik Omar Abdel
Rahman is from Egypt and we should release him from jail.

Q. You said you talked about Sheik Omar Abdul Rahman and said
that he is from Egypt and he should be mentioned in this letter?

A. Mosabbah said that when he was in Egypt he was a member of


Gama’a al- Islamiyya.

Q. And did Mosabbah help you write this letter in any other way?

A. Yeah, we put it.

Q. What else if anything did Mosabbah do with respect to this


letter?

38
A. He brought the address where we supposed to send the letter.

Mosabbah was asked about Abu Mezer and Sheik Omar


Abdul Rahman:

Q. You mentioned that Amir was reading from a document. What


tone of voice did he use when reading from that document?

A. He was so acute as if he was actually addressing a group of


people trying to encourage them to do something.

Q. What did Mezer tell you that he was going to do with this
document?

A. He said he will distribute it to the news agencies.

Q. What do you recall about what Mezer read from that document?

A. I do not recall anything but some of the names stuck to my


memory, like Omar Abdel Rahman.

Q. Had you ever discussed Omar Abdel Rahman with Mezer before
that day?

A. Yes.

Q. When did that occur?

A. Once I found a book that Hesham brought over about the trier of
Abdel Rahman in person, about his person.

Q. What did Amir say about Abdul Rahman at that time?

A. He considers him to be one of the greatest or among the


greatest of mujahedeen.

Q. What does that mean?

A. It's a question for me? You want the meaning of it? I understand
the meaning when it is said to me. I don't have to comment
because I understand the meaning.

Q. What did you understand it to mean?

39
A. He used to consider Omar Rahman the one who had people
with violence.

Mezer’s attorney cross-examined Mosabbah and attempted to


convince the jury that Mosabbah was making this story up:

Q. And at any time between midnight on the 30 th and 4 p.m. the


next day, did you mention that Gazi was reading from a document
that had the Sheik Rahman's name in it, that you recognized?

A. I do not recall that, but in that period that I have [said many
things].

The press reported that police found a portrait of Sheik Omar Abdul
Rahman, may be peace be upon him, in the home of these Palestinian patriots
when it reality it was a book with his photograph on the back of it. 42

KHALIL: AN INNOCENT BYSTANDER?

Abu Mezer’s friend and roommate, Lafi Khalil, was also in the United
States illegally. He had overstayed a transit visa that he obtained by claiming he
had to travel to Ecuador via New York City from the Middle East. He was granted
a C-1 transit visa that he presented to the INS immigration inspector at JFK
Airport in New York in December 1996. The inspector, however, mistakenly
admitted Khalil under a six-month B-2 tourist visa! In August 2003 America made
it mandatory to obtain a visa (if you live in a country where a visa is required to
enter the U.S.) even if you are just passing through the United States in transit to
another country.

The FBI reported:

An address book in the possession of defendant Lafi Khalil


contained the name of a member of a known terrorist
organization…Abdel Abid was the person who assisted the attorney
who worked on Lafi Khalil's immigration papers. Khalil stated that
his name and beeper number are in his personal telephone book.”
Was Abid this “known terrorist?

Lafi Khalil had helped purchase the materials for the IED in North Carolina
and was part of an attempt to secure a North Carolina Driver’s license for Mezer
so that he could purchase a firearm. At trial, Jennifer Meeks testified that she
worked at the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) on July 10,
1997 from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Although she was not able to identify Mezer or
Khalil, she recalled that two men with small builds and dark hair, who appeared
to be of “Iranian descent,” came into the DMV that day. One of the men
42
. USDOJ/OIG Special Report March, 1998 “Bombs in Brooklyn: How the Two Illegal Aliens Arrested for Plotting to Bomb
the New York Subway Entered and Remained in the United States.”

40
presented a social security card and alien registration receipt card, but the two
quickly left the DMV with the cards after Meeks questioned their validity. In
addition to the aborted DMV visit that day, Khalil and Mezer went to Lowes
hardware store in Greenville, where they purchased various items to build the
pipe bomb, including, the pipes, wiring, batteries and tape. However, in an effort
to avoid detection of their scheme, they split up the purchases. The Lowes'
register receipt for the first purchase reflects that it was made at 3:39 p.m. on
July 10, 1997. At that time, nails, Duck brand duct tape, 4 galvanized nipples (4
inch length of pipe), 6-volt batteries, 24 feet of white lamp cord and super glue
were purchased. Approximately fourteen minutes later at 3:53 p.m., a second
purchase was made at the same register through the same cashier at Lowes. At
that time, blue wire nuts (to connect wires), 8 galvanized couplings and 8
galvanized plugs were purchased. All of the items obtained in these separate
purchases were used [to build the bomb].

But perhaps the most damning evidence against Lafi Khalil was supplied
by New York City Police Department Emergency Services Unit officers David
Martinez and Joseph Dolan, who headed towards the room where the bombs
were being kept. They heard rustling as they approached. Martinez entered first.
Only the light on Martinez’s gun illuminated the room. Martinez saw two men
lying on the ground. He kept shouting, “Police! Don't-move! Get down!” But the
man on the right (Mezer) immediately jumped up and grabbed for his gun. Officer
Martinez fired. The man continued to struggle with him, and he fired again. Then
the man tried to tackle him, grabbing him about the legs and tried to pull him.
Officer Martinez fired two more times. Officer Martinez then angled towards his
left. This gave his partner, Joseph Dolan, the opportunity to just get into the
bedroom. Dolan also was shouting, “Police! Don't-move! Get down!” But that
individual on the right was still moving, and he was moving towards a black bag
that was near Officer Dolan's feet, the bag that Officer Dolan and Officer Martinez
had heard contained the ex-explosives. Officer Dolan fired two more times, and
the individual stopped moving. Meanwhile, Officer Martinez had turned to the left
because the man on the left (Khalil) was also moving, also moving towards the
black bags. Officer Martinez fired at this individual two times, and he prevented
him from getting to the bag. Mezer was asked:

Q. You also told Agent Anticev, didn't you that you wanted to blow
yourself and the police up when they came into your apartment that
morning, correct?

A. Yes. If I had the chance.

Q. And you knew they were police you said when they came in,
correct?

A. Yes. When they started shooting on you they said they are
police.

41
After he recovered from his wounds Mezer swore that he never told Lafi
Khalil about the bombs and that he had purchased the components on his own.
Judge Raggi did not believe him and refused to dismiss the conspiracy charges
against Lafi Khalil: “With respect to Lafi Khalil, the evidence is more than
circumstantial tying him to the July 10th purchase at Lowes. They were together
that entire day. The evidence has shown they were -- items purchased at Lowe's.
Mr. Ferebee, yes, might have been vague on his time, but he did acknowledge,
when interviewed by the FBI, it was two or three weeks before, which would put it
July 10th, he recalls over 20 feet of wire purchased, which is what is on that
receipt in which all of the other items that were made up the bomb were
purchased. In addition, the photograph that was just highlighted to the jury
showing Lafi Khalil with the drill and the coupler that would then be drilled -- the
end plugs that would be drilled, had it in the picture right there with him, which we
believe at the time he and Mr. Mezer were in North Carolina building this device.
But I think the evidence is sufficient on all of those counts. On Count Two, with
respect to Mr. Khalil, he's charged with aiding and abetting there, that's his help
with the pipe bomb, and purchasing those items facilitates the ability to make the
threat charged in Count Two.”

Partially as a result of the reluctance on the part of the Justice Department


to pursue the Hamas / al-Qaeda connection an anonymous Brooklyn jury
acquitted Brother Khalil of all the conspiracy charges lodged against him.

The United States Attorney’s Office asked for an upward departure in Lafi
Khalil’s sentencing. Judge Raggi refused: “A more serious and difficult question
is presented by whether or not the Court should upwardly depart because of the
defendant's involvement in the making of a pipe bomb. The defendant stood trial
on this charge and was acquitted. This Court can consider acquitted conduct, but
it must be satisfied by a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant did
engage in the criminal activity and I'm not certain that in the end I can say that.
My difficulty is really one that is on the very edge of this question. I am satisfied
by a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant knew of his co-
defendant's plan to build a pipe bomb. What I cannot say, I'm satisfied by a
preponderance of the evidence that having such knowledge, that he assisted in it
in a way that demonstrated his own intent to see this scheme succeed. With
respect to the question of his knowledge, if I were to consider only a few facts,
and I don't mean to exhaust everything that the government developed at trial, I
would be satisfied by preponderance. For instance, the defendant's time in North
Carolina with the co-defendant covered the period when the co-defendant
acquired most of the parts that ultimately went into this bomb. A photograph that
the government introduced at trial made plain that the co-defendant did not seek
to conceal these parts, but rather had them not only exposed, but partially
assembled at a time when a photograph of the defendant here, Mr. Khalil, was
taken, and so regardless of whether or not Mr. Khalil went to the store to help
purchase the items, whether he was an actual purchaser, I would be satisfied

42
from what is shown in that photograph that he knew that his confederate was in
the process of assembling a bomb. Now, knowledge is something that can rarely
be proved directly. Circumstantial evidence may be considered. There is no
doubt that Mr. Khalil was sharing a bedroom with Mr. Abu Mezer, at a time when
the bomb was assembled within that bedroom. I know from other evidence in this
case that Abu Mezer was hardly reticent about speaking about his plans. He was
proud of them. He shared these with another roommate. It is very difficult for me
to fathom that he would not have [shared the information with Khalil].” Judge
Raggi said she believed Khalil knew about the bombing plans but was not sure if
he was part of the conspiracy so she refused to upwardly depart from the
sentencing guidelines. In a post 9/11 world, the Learned Elders of Islam are
certain she regrets this.

Even though he had tried to murder at least two police officers by


attempting to detonate the Improvised Explosive Device, Lafi Khalil spent only
about 2½ years in prison on a immigration violation! Neither of these Brothers co-
operated. Lafi Khalil - because doing so would have involved him in the plan -
and Mezer - because he was righteous and because it would have meant rolling
over on his Brother, Nur.

A LIFE SENTENCE

Brother Mezer had this to say upon receiving a life sentence: “The
Palestinians are fighting because their land being stolen by the Jews. They don't
fight for nothing. The Palestinian find himself as a victim of this aggression of the
Israeli ever since 1948. The Israeli occupation for the land of Palestine left
suffering and destruction to every family live there and it's known since the Bible
time as area of unstable, always war. We look at the history we see how much
they care to control the Holy Land. They don't care how. The Jews we are talking
about today, they are the same Jews who tried to crucify different prophets, like
Prophet Jesus [PBUH], 2000 year ago, and they tried, and they killed Prophet
Zachariah and his son, and they try to kill the Prophet Mohammed [PBUH] and
who they are killing the Palestinians, Muslims and Christians in the Holy Land.

The history of the Jews is well-known by all religions, what they did
to put down God on the earth. They deport over 15 million
Palestinians. They become refugees 1948 and 1967 wars, and
confiscated their houses, land, businesses, everything belong to
them, these refugees. They become even refugees in their own
homeland, too. My family, myself, my sisters, my brothers, my
neighbors, we all become refugees collect each other in the camps.
My family lost house and the land for the Jews who come in secret
immigration from Europe. We suffer more during the Intifada. I have
seen the Israeli Army kill my friends. They arrested me when I am
16-years-old and I been interrogated for forty-five days for first time;
harassed, beaten, putting on the walls for days, no sleep, no food.

43
They use all kind of physical violence and mentally want me to tell
on my friends who throw rocks in my neighborhood. I got arrested
again two month after that arrest. They put me in the desert for
three month, they spray gas on us, and after I got released I get a
green identity card that I can't leave the city for security reason. The
weapons they use, it's United States making weapons from gas,
from bullets, from bombs, plastic bullets, everything, rubber bullet,
all made in the United States and we could look when somebody
get shot, we see the bullet said made in United States. United
States Government does not only give weapons, they also give four
billion dollar every year from taxpayer money to Israel; to every
Jews live there thirty, forty thousand dollars goes to him to his
pocket. The United States care more about the Jews who live in
Israel than what they care about their own citizens.

The Jews be crying about what Hitler did to them, we all see that in
the medium, in the Holocaust. There is nothing for the Holocaust.
They use this as excuse to cover their massacres of the
Palestinians. They said that Hitler killed six million Jews. That's a
lie. Three years after that, they went with a big army, with the help
of the British, and killing and massacring the people of Palestine.
They destroy over 250 villages and 150 city and change the names
to the Hebrew names after they kill the people or deport them from
that land. Real Holocaust is what is happening in the streets of
Gaza and West Bank right now. If there is a justice in this world, the
Israeli leaders should be tried as war criminals and charged with
genocide for killing over half million Palestinians since 1948.

In June 2003 Mezer wrote this letter to Judge Reena Racci (sic). It was a
far cry from what he told Judge Raggi at his sentencing:

I want to explain to you some of the things that happen in my life to


where I coase my self and other’s a problem’s. I want you to know I
am not part of any terrorist group and I have nothing to do with
terrorism. Maybe this look unbelievable to you but that’s the reality
and I have to write you what exactly happen to wher I am right now.
When I left my country I was quite happy that I felt good that I have
a better life in Canada. I will make money, get citizenship and forget
about the suffering that the Jews had caused me and my family to
where we lost everything to them and become so poor. I felt I am
responsible for the family to get them happy life by sending them
money on every opportunity I had. I worked in everything. I never
care what I worked at, God Bless me to establish a good income
but I felt exhausted living in Canada and everybody say that the
U.S. is better economy and I can make better money to sent to my
family so after 3½ years in Canada I decided to move to U.S. I

44
came also twice to the U.S. before through Canada but I always go
back to solve my immigration problems. The third time the Canada
refuse to take me back so I bail with $5,000 I borrowed from my
uncle and I came to New York to work but life in New York is harder
than I expected and its even hard to make money so I become
depressed day after day and my life become more deteriorated
after my lawyer told me that I should leave the country in 2 months.
Those two months was like hell to me. I felt that I am a loser. I lost
my immigration papers in Canada I come to the U.S. I couldn’t
make it. I am tired of being treated by my own people as slave
working in their stores. I don’t have money. I live in bad home. I
didn’t know how to face my family if I was deported what to tell
everyone that I am failure man. All my friends and country who
came to this country they was able to do good life. Open business
and work and get their immigration papers. I felt so bad about my
life so I decided to commit suicide. I thought about drink poison or
throw myself under passing car or truck or the subway. I start to
think seriously about ending my life then I knew that if I kill myself
my family will be shamed from me in my city and the Muslim
mosque will refuse to bury me in the Muslim cemetary. It’s a grave
sin if a Muslim kills himself. So I start asking around what about
those who kill themselves by putting bombs on themselves. I was
informed that those people, because they did it in Jihad fighting the
Jews they are martyrs so I felt this is the best opportunity to me to
kill my self by putting bombs on me and kill Jews and my family be
proud of me and I become hero in Hebron and nobody will know
that I killing myself because of personal problems so I start to think
to create a bomb in crowded Jewish. After the bomb become
complete I start telling people about Jihad and the Jews. I never
exercise secrecy or hid what I want to do. It look stupid. It’s like I
am telling people to go inform on me because inside me I knew I
was not doing the good thing and something I am convinced it was
not right. I told Mosabbah – Hisham Salim – LaFikalil – al-Nizar
Shareef and when I saw two Palestinians commit suicide in
marketplace in Jerusalem market and killed Jewish I put my mind to
commit suicide the next day out of desperation and hopelessness. I
felt I have no choice but to do this evil act because my life is over
because I am failure. The police enter my house shot me and arrest
me and stop me from killing myself and I start to make political
statements after my arrest because I want to tell my people I am for
you for your cause, the cause of the Palestinians. I want to be hero.
I thought I was going to kill myself so what else I can use this media
coverage to do more political statements so I become more
hero…43

WITNESS PROTECTION PROGRAM

The Government’s refused to bring Hamas or Islamic Jihad into the case
none-the-less Mosabbah was placed in the Witness Protection Program. Mezer’s
attorney protested:

There has already been some talk about a terrorist group that I
think they may go into further as part of their case. It almost lends
credence to the fact that there are people out there who would work
on his behalf to threaten this witness. I don't think the witness is
claiming that my client is responsible for these threats. I don't
understand what the Government is saying. I am not sure how him
being in Witness Protection really affects what he is saying here. It
could just as easily be said that the government feels that there is a
reason or he feels there is a reason to be supported by the
government. I don't see why it has to be explained in terms of the
security. Then it raises the implication he is a member of the
terrorist group and there are people out there who are out there
willing to take care of some witness.

Mosabbah received a $1 million reward. This was a true American Horatio


Alger success story! The United States Government has paid a total of 9.5 million
dollars to twenty-three informants since it began paying people to turn in our
Brothers beginning in the mid-1980s. Parker got $2 million for giving up Ramzi
Yousef; Emad Salem got more than a million for destroying Sheik Omar Abdul
Rahman; the betrayers of Mir Aimal Kasi got $2 million. That means nineteen
informants divided up $3.5 million after their backgrounds had been closely
examined to determine how many actions they had committed in our behalf.

HAMAS SLEEPER AGENT RASHID BAZ

During the first World Trade Center trial Rashid Baz killed Ari Halberstam,
a Jewish fanatical follower of the Lubavitch Rabbi Schneerson, left Nachum
Sasonkin brain-injured for life and almost killed 14 other young Jews who were
riding in a van near the Brooklyn Bridge. These Jews believed in the concept of
basert, that everything is fated and is the will of their god, so they had that as
their consolation prize. Rashid Baz did a “drive by” shooting and opened fire with
an Uzi knockoff, a street sweeper (a shotgun that housed 12 rounds in a
cylindrical barrel) and with a Glock automatic revolver from his automobile.
Bullets landed at the Criminal Courthouse at 90 Center Street where El-Sayyid
Nosair once worked. Judge Duffy tried to allay the fears of the jury that this was
an act of terrorism connected with the trial: “Suggestion has been made that they
cut somebody off in getting off to get off at the Brooklyn Bridge exit. The people
then came around after them and put a couple of shots in their general direction.
Apparently people were hurt, which I’m very sorry about, but to take that and to
build it into a bias incident is one hell of a great jump. It’s the kind of things, you

46
know, which makes it very difficult for daredevils to jump across Grand Canyon in
two bounces.”

Rashid Baz pretended not take Islam seriously until after his arrest when
his cover was blown as a jihadi. It had taken Rashid Baz sometime to submit to
Allah as Baz’s uncle said that his nephew was the product of a rare union
between a Lebanese Druze father and a Sunni Muslim Palestinian mother. Dr.
Numa Abudabbeh, a forensic psychologist who testified for Baz’s defense, stated
otherwise: “You do understand that he comes from a family that is of two entirely
different religious backgrounds. This is another important factor to in order to
understand his background. His father is Jewish and the mother is a Sunni
Palestinian. And there apparently were a lot of the issues at home.” Baz
converted to traditional Islam and spent his early years in Lebanon where he ran
away from home and took up with a local militia. In 1982 he fought against the
Israelis, the Lebanese and the Phalangists. For target practice he used live cats
and dogs hung from a fence. He came to America in 1992 and married a Puerto-
Rican woman in a Catholic church. After his arrest he claimed he was a drug
dealer to obscure his connection to Hamas. Baz said he was “ripped-off” by other
dealers and so he purchased a small arsenal to protect his drugs and cash. No
drugs or cash were ever found nor did the Brother have an arrest record.
Investigators never determined the identity of the Hamas Brothers from whom
Baz obtained the weapons, or those whom Baz said supplied him with the
ammunition he used during the shooting. The following is an excerpt from Baz’s
interview with ADA Armando Durastanti on the day of the arrest:

D.A.: What about the ammo? Where did you buy that?

Baz: (Laughing.) From friends.

D.A.: What friends?

Baz: I can’t tell you that.

D.A.: Why can’t you tell me that?

Baz: I won’t tell you that.

D.A.: Are they people-I mean are they-who are they?

Baz: (Shakes negatively.)

D.A.: What kind of friends are they?

Baz: You see, I tell you, you ask me anything about me, I don’t
mind.

47
D.A.: All right. But I’m asking you-the reason I’m asking you these
questions is because I think they’re-they’re significant and
important, in that-

Baz: -No. They don’t have nothing to do with it. 33

Rashid Baz repeatedly refused to answer any questions about these


Brothers. An Afro-American arms dealer named Albert Jeanniton was arrested
and convicted after the shooting for illegally selling one of the guns that Baz used
on the Brooklyn Bridge but he was not charged with actually selling the gun
directly to Baz.44 Albert Jeanniton purchased the Glock from a firearms shop in
Homestead, Florida and was a gun trafficker who hired youths to bring his guns
into New York City by car to be resold to customers in Brooklyn - mostly to
Blacks.

The other weapon, a Cobray assault pistol, was assembled from a kit sold
through mail order by Wayne and Sylvia Daniel of Tennessee. The gun had no
serial number because the Cobray M-11/9 had been purchased in parts and
assembled from a mail-order kit. The Daniels sell the Cobray as a $160 kit to
anyone with a phone and a credit card, no questions asked – no waiting period,
no background check to weed out felons, jihadi or other prohibited purchasers –
and without the serial number the law would require if the gun were sold
assembled. The kit comes complete except for one part, a receiver, but the
Daniels’ sell a version of that separately. For just $8.50, the Daniels will provide a
“Fold Your Own Sheet Metal Flat,” that one can bend into the shape of the
finishing receiver. “They’re not guns,” Wayne Daniel told a reporter. “They’re
parts.” These kits are still available, Praise Allah. 45

The Hamas Brothers in Brooklyn took advantage of the immutable


American social landscape – Afro-American drugs dealers and good ole boys
from Tennessee to purchase the guns that were given to Baz. These co-
conspirators were never identified to this day. Dr. Numa Abudabbeh described
Rashid Baz as a desperate man; a loner like Lee Harvey Oswald suffering from
catastrophic post traumatic stress syndrome as a result of his boyhood in war-
torn Beirut, who fired at the yeshiva students because he thought he was back in
Lebanon defending himself: “He told me about a time when his military unit was
taking a village that was a part vigilant part Israeli. And the soldier next to him
was hit either with a high velocity bullet or a rocket grenade. That he had half his
head was blown off. He had blood and brains all over him. He told me about
another incident when an Israeli phosphorous bomb went off. And he felt the
tremendous heat of this bomb. And saw a friend and comrade in the arms of his,
killed by this bomb. Saw his skin literally melt and fall off. He told me about an
incident where his units retook a village from the vigilance and where they found
approximately two hundred bodies thrown down a well. That was in 1983.

“He told me of a time when he saw a female prisoner who had had her
breasts cut off and then nailed onto her chest. A woman who he told me killed
herself a week after that. He told me of having seen prisoners' bodies with
messages and curses and threats written on their skin, into their skin with an
electric drill. He told me of a time when his unit found twenty bodies who had
been taken off a bus and either shot or had their throats cut. One of who was a
sixteen-year-old cousin of his. The bodies had then been thrown into a river. He
told me of times when he was involved in recovering bodies and survivors in the
city of Beirut from buildings that had been bombed and collapsed. And that
sometimes there were dogs eating the flesh of those dead bodies.”

After the shooting Rashid Baz returned to the car service garage where he
worked and ordered Amir Abudaif, an Egyptian Coptic, to help conceal his crime.
Baz pulled out a gun and put it to Amir Abudaif’s head and said, “I told you to fix
the f-ing brakes,” even though there was nothing wrong with them. Amir Abudaif
then started working on the brakes and Baz told his boss, Hilal Abd Al-Aziz
Muhammad, to go get a box. Hilal Abd Al-Aziz Muhammad returned with a box
and then Amir Abudaif observed Baz take two guns out from under the front seat
and a shotgun out of the trunk of the car. Baz placed all three guns into the box.
During that time when Baz was off talking to Hilal Abd Al-Aziz Muhammad, Amir
Abudaif managed to remove the spent shells and live rounds from the front seat
and the floor of the car. He said sometime later Bassam Reyati, the owner of the
car, came into the garage. Hilal Abd Al-Aziz Muhammad went back to the
furnace room and came back with the box containing the guns. He put the box
into the car and then Bassam Reyati drove away with the car and hid the guns in
Rashid Baz’s apartment. Amir Abudaif had heard Bassam Reyati and Hilal Abd
Al-Aziz Muhammad talking that they wanted to get Rashid Baz out of the state or
out of the country sometime after midnight.

Amir Abudaif: “Hilal Abd Al-Aziz Muhammad asked me to bring them


coffee, to bring Hilal and the other customer that was there. So I left the garage
and I called the FBI from the-- from Dunkin Donuts next to the garage. That was
about five o'clock. I didn't call earlier because I didn't have a chance to go out,
and I didn't want to call from the garage. I called the FBI. I told them that I know
where the car is and I wanted somebody to come and meet me down in
Brooklyn. And the guy that I was talking to said, unless you tell me everything
over the phone, I can't come down and meet you. So I said I can't tell you
everything over the phone. He said then tell me your name. I said I can't. So they
said then forget it, and I said all right and then I hang up. Then a few minutes
later while I was going to the garage I stopped and I used another phone and I
called the FBI again, another agent. His name is Tom, and he said he wants to
know where the car is. I told him that I will call him back and tell him where to
meet me and I will tell him. Then I went to the garage and led on while Hilal was
working on a car outside I made another call from the garage and I told Tom to

49
meet me at 11th Avenue and 69th Street at 10 o'clock.” 46 When Tom didn’t show
up Abudaif walked into a local precinct and betrayed Baz. If this attack happened
in the post-September 11 th world, you can be assured that the FBI would have
shown up, and Rashid Baz’s address book and his associates would have been
thoroughly investigated. Instead, the crime was treated as a homicide.

Rashid Baz confessed to the police that he was incensed at the actions of
Baruch Goldstein, who entered a Hebron mosque and killed numerous
worshippers. Before he performed his act of bravery, Rashid Baz attended the
Islamic Society of Bay Ridge Mosque47 in Brooklyn, where he was whipped into a
frenzy by the Imam there: “And then he went to the mosque and according to
Muafaq Askar he heard the Imam say that this takes the mask off of the Jews. It
shows them to be racist and fascist as bad as the Nazis. Palestinians are
suffering from the occupation and it's time to end it.” This was the same mosque
that, on Israel’s fiftieth anniversary a few years later, hosted an event during
which a Brother proclaimed that Jews killed the Muslim prophet and that Jews
harbor an eternal hatred for Muslims. The imam also exhorted the audience to
support Jihad against the Zionist entity and distributed pro-Hamas literature at
the mosque.

The Islamic Society of Bay Ridge played a part in the trial of the loner
Shahawar Matin Siraj, a well-intentioned Brother determined to make Jihad
within New York City. Siraj was going to carry out our long-term plan to bomb
New York City subways but not only did he hook up with a New York City Police
Department snitch who attended 575 prayer services at the Bay Ridge mosque
and another mosque in Staten Island over 13 months, he became friendly with an
NYPD detective, a Muslim who came to America from Bangladesh when he was
7, and testified that he was a 23-year-old college graduate when he was plucked
from the police academy in October 2002 and asked to become a deep cover
spy. He took an apartment in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, where he joined the Islamic
Society of Bay Ridge next door to the Islamic bookstore where Siraj worked.
When the undercover detective began visiting the Bay Ridge mosque in 2002,
the Intelligence Division was governed by a 1985 consent decree stemming from
a civil lawsuit. The decree limited police surveillance of religious services. The
guidelines set by the decree, which were loosened in February 2003, required
that certain paperwork be filed before such an investigation could be conducted.

Gama'a al-Islamiyya stated two days after the Hebron massacre that its
armed units were ordered to carry out attacks for the purpose of avenging the
massacre in Hebron: “We, the Gama'a al-Islamiyya, announce that our military
operations from now until the end of the month of Ramadan will be carried out as
a dutiful revenge to the martyrs of the Ibrahimi Mosque and as a modest support
to the strugglers of Palestine.” The Gama'a called on Hamas, the Palestinian
Islamic Jihad, and Hizb’allah to raise their rifles and take action – but they
already did. Hamas issued a communiqué praising Baz’s action.

Rashid Baz was convicted of murder in the second degree and of 14
counts of attempted murder and was sentenced in Manhattan Criminal Court to
141 years in prison. In prison Rashid Baz has strictly adhered to the laws of
Allah. Abd Al-Aziz Muhammad was convicted of hindering prosecution and was
sentenced to 5 years of probation and a $1000 fine. Bassam Reyati was
convicted of hindering prosecution and sentenced to five years of probation. In
December 2000 the Justice Department reclassified this attack as an act of so-
called terrorism.

from every place: yet was it ungrateful for the favours of Allah: so Allah made it taste of hunger

POIs: PERSONS OF INTEREST, OR PRISONERS OF ISLAM?

In 1987, after the INS attempted to deport eight members of a Los


Angeles Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine support group under the
provisions of the McCarthy-era McCarran-Walters Act that outlawed the
distribution of literature calling for world-wide communism, an INS contingency
plan came to light that called for the interment of Arab-American citizens in a
concentration camp in Oakdale, Louisiana, in the event of war with certain Arab
states.48 Judge Bruce J. Einhorn abruptly canceled the proceeding against the
Los Angeles Eight in July 2005, setting no new date. After the cancellation,
Immigration and Customs Enforcement filed additional charges under the Real ID
Act, passed by Congress in May 2005.49 The charges allege that Michel
Shehadeh and Khader Hamide are still members of the Popular Front for the
Liberation of Palestine. In January 2007 the Jew Einhorn faulted the government
for repeated delays in producing evidence that the two, who with the others
became known as the L.A. Eight, should be deported as a threat to the United
States and dismissed the charges against them.50

The INS unfulfilled desires to round up Arabs were partially fulfilled after
the September 11th Raids. The Center for the Constitutional Rights 51 was geared
up to exploit this racial roundup in order to further the aims of the Communists
and took the case of a Muslim who had no connection with us but none-the-less
was picked up in the post 9/11 sweep, transported in shackles, handcuffs and
waist chains then held in the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn.
When he arrived at MDC he was pulled from the van and slammed against a wall
with an American flag t-shirt draped on it so hard it bloodied his lip. The slogan
on the T-shirt read, “These colors don’t run.” There were numerous bloodstains
on the T-shirt. Some looked like a couple of bloody noses smudged in a row, and
other stains looked like someone with blood in his mouth spit on the t-shirt.

The Correction Officer threatened to kill this Muslim if he spoke. He said a


guard had told him, “You are here as a World Trade Center suspect.” The man,
like the other 9/11 detainees, was put in the Special Housing Unit (SHU) - the
hole - where prisoners who present special disciplinary problems are kept. There
prisoners are confined to their cells for up to 23 hours day and the lights are
always on, making it difficult to sleep. One Muslim suffered severe beatings at
the hands of prison guards, one time to the point of unconsciousness. An Indian
Muslim had his foot slammed against a cell door. A Muslim inmate was ordered
to remove his shirt so that the Correction Officer could use it to shine his shoes.
The Bureau of Prisons’ (BOP) Office of Internal Affairs (OIA) initially conducted
an investigation and provided the Justice Department’s Office of the Inspector
General with a copy of its report that concluded the allegations of this inmate
were unsubstantiated. Because BOP Office of Internal Affairs did not interview
the inmate complainants or the Correctional Officer, the Office of the Inspector
General initiated its own investigation. A BOP witness provided the Office of the
Inspector General with a sworn statement confirming the allegations.
Additionally, Office of the Inspector General investigators interviewed six inmates
who also corroborated the allegations. When the Office of the Inspector General
interviewed the correctional officer, he admitted verbally abusing the Muslim
inmate. The correctional officer also admitted that he was “less than completely
candid” when he originally provided a memorandum to the BOP about the
incident. The Office of the Inspector General presented the results of its
investigation to the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department, which
declined prosecution.52

In a follow-up report it was revealed that though seven camcorders were


purchased for the SHU, over time the camcorders started to disappear. In a
memorandum dated October 5, 2001, an MDC official certified that the in-cell
cameras were installed and operating in 31 cells on the South Tier of the SHU
where the detainees were held. In a later report another MDC official stated the

and Central America. They defended Communists, but generally shied away from defending Islamists, who they rejected
as “sexist,” “theocratic,” and “totalitarian” and most importantly, anti-communist.

cameras were not operative until February 2002. A lieutenant twice ordered
someone to turn the camera off when he was discussing matters with other
officers that he apparently did not want videotaped. A few minutes after giving his
instruction to turn off the tape and apparently not knowing that the audio was still
running, this lieutenant suggested how the officers could break some detainees’
hunger strikes: “We’ll cure them…I want them to stay on a hunger strike. Don’t
cure anybody; let ‘em stay. Let’s get a team. Let’s go with a tube. The first guy
that gets that tube shoved down his throat, they’ll be cured!” He then stated,
“We’re going hard,” to which another officer responded, “Outstanding!” The
lieutenant repeated his statement, “We’re going hard.” 53

Many men were deported. The remaining detainees staged another


hunger strike for several days during the week of May 20, 2002 after guards
harassed them in retaliation for cooperating with an investigation by the Justice
Department’s Office of the Inspector General. These detainees have filed suit
against former Warden Dennis Hasty, who the Learned Elders of Islam know to a
fanatical Christian and truly evil man who favors Jewish prisoners.

As far as we know only one of the Brothers who were picked up in this
roundup was charged with “terrorism.” Only 108 detainees were charged with
any federal crime-primarily violations of anti-fraud statutes. Most of them had no
connection to us. For example, on September 15, 2001, New York City police
stopped a group of three Middle Eastern men in Manhattan on a traffic violation.
The men had the plans to a public school in their car. The next day, their
employer confirmed that the men were working on construction at the school and
that it was appropriate for them to have the plans. Nonetheless, they were
arrested and remained detained as September 11 th detainees. There is no such
thing as a conspiracy in the United States with six hundred and thirty-four
members. But former U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft had to make up for
the FBI’s past lack of vigilance by being “better late than never” and “better safe
than sorry.”

The Learned Elders of Islam have received one favorable judgment from a
United States District Court regarding the detainees: On August 2, 2002 Judge
Gladys Kessler ordered the Justice Department to produce the names of the
Arab detainees and their lawyers within 15 days. On making this determination
the judge attempted to place herself in the role of jihadi, something she was
incapable of doing: “In particular, the Government worries that upon learning that
their members have been detained, ‘terrorist organizations…may refuse to deal
further with [the detainees].’” Judge Kessler believed this was untrue, when it
was true. If al-Qaeda does not know that someone has been arrested al-Qaeda
might inadvertently divulge information to them that will be turned over to the
U.S. Department of Justice if they have decided to co-operate in order to reduce
their sentence. When al-Qaeda determines that a Brother has been detained we

53
will not only refuse to make contact with him but we will not make contact with
those around him for fear the Brother may have co-operated, named them and
they may be under surveillance. Judge Kessler:

The Government worries that upon learning that their members


have been detained, ‘terrorist organizations may threaten them,
thereby eliminat[ing] valuable sources of information.’” It is difficult
to threaten someone once he is locked up. If we feel the Brother is
not strong and possesses valuable information al-Qaeda will not
threaten him or his associates, but threaten his family, who he is
direct or indirect contact with through prison visits. This assumes
terrorist groups do not already know that their cell members have
been detained. The Government has emphasized that the
detainees are entitled to inform whomever they want of their
detention. Given this option of ‘self disclosure’, and given that more
than ten months have passed since September 11 th, it is
implausible that terrorist groups would not have figured out whether
their members have been detained. Defendant has offered no
reason to believe that terrorist groups would not know of the
detentions.

We do not always know when a Brother is taken prisoner. The way our
organization is structured and compartmentalized it is possible that if a cell
controller were eliminated, the existence of the cell he was in charge of would
become unknown even to the leadership of Al-Qaeda.

Our organizations are compartmentalized. Usama bin Laden explained


how this compartmentalization worked in the September 11 th Raids: “[He did not
know about the operation.] Not everybody knew (inaudible). Muhammad Atta
from the Egyptian family54 was in charge of the group. The Brothers, who
conducted the operation, all they knew was that they have a martyrdom
operation and we asked each of them to go to America but they didn’t know
anything about the operation, not even one letter. But they were trained and we
did not reveal the operation to them until they are there and just before they
boarded the planes. (Inaudible) then he said: Those who were trained to fly didn’t
know the others. One group of people did not know the other group.”

Additionally, a captured jihadi cannot inform other members of his cell of


his detention since the Bureau of Prisons monitors and logs his every phone call
and visit. He must work through his attorney or family who are not always willing
to enter into a criminal conspiracy or expose themselves to being charged with
Obstruction of Justice.

Judge Kessler should have joined or infiltrated an Islamist revolutionary


group before making these determinations, but she would have had to convert to

Islam from Judaism first. The Justice Department argued: “Releasing the names
of the detainees who may be associated with terrorism would reveal the direction
and progress of the investigations by identifying where Department of Justice is
focusing its efforts. This could allow terrorist organizations to map the progress of
the investigation and thereby develop the means to impede them. Public release
of names could allow terrorist organizations and others to interfere with the
pending proceedings by creating false or misleading evidence.”

Our open source intelligence works on the mosaic theory. Bits and pieces
of information that may appear innocuous in isolation, when assimilated with
other information will allow Islamists to build a picture of the investigation and to
thwart the government’s attempts to investigate and prevent our activities. There
is an American expression “intelligence is half the battle.” The more al-Qaeda is
kept in the dark the harder it is for us to operate. After assurances from the
Justice Department that it would seek an expedited appeal in the case Judge
Kessler granted a stay in the execution of this order. 55

The Center for the Constitutional Rights and other groups filed a lawsuit
that asked for disclosure of the detainees’ names under the provisions of the
Freedom of Information Act. An Appellate Court dismissed it, although one Judge
Tatel dissented: “Given the government's concession that it may turn out that
these individuals have no information useful to the investigation, the government
gives us no reason to think that releasing the names of these innocent detainees
could interfere with its investigation. Indeed, the government never really asks us
to believe that disclosure of the names of innocent persons having no knowledge
of terrorist activity would in any way impede its ability to gather information from
those who do have such knowledge.” 56 The United States Supreme Court
refused to review this ruling.57

The Center for the Constitutional Rights fights against the Patriot Act, a
great detriment to our activities, and it opposes racial profiling, so that more of
our members can penetrate American security. By weakening America, the
Center believes it can pave the way for secular socialism or communism. The
Center was part of another lawsuit brought by two groups of detainees at
Guantanamo Bay that alleged they should be charged in a civilian court. Federal
District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly dismissed this lawsuit and ruled that U.S.
courts have no jurisdiction over prisoners there and that the POWs have no
Constitutional protections since Guantanamo is not formally part of U.S. The
Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the Guantanamo prisoners have a right
to be represented by attorneys and the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to review the
question of jurisdiction. In June 2006 in a 5-3 vote, with Chief Justice Roberts not
participating in the vote, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Bush the Elder lacked

the authority to conduct military tribunals for detainees held by the U.S. at
Guantanamo Bay. A new law was passed that effectively denied the right of
habeas corpus petitions by detainees that was found to be constitutional by the
U.S. Supreme Court in February 2007.

On January 31, 2005 U.S. District Judge Joyce Green ruled, “the use of
classified information failed to provide any detainee with sufficient notice of the
factual basis for which he is being pro detained and with a fair opportunity to
rebut the government's evidence supporting the determination that he is an
"enemy combatant." She cited this example of interrogation; after the Recorder
read the allegation that the detainee was arrested because of his alleged
involvement in a plan to attack the U.S. Embassy in Sarajevo, the detainee
expressly asked in the following colloquy to see the evidence upon which the
government's assertion relied:

Detainee: ...The only thing I can tell you is I did not plan or even think of
[attacking the Embassy]. Did you find any explosives with me? Any weapons?
Did you find me in front of the embassy? Did you find me in contact with the
Americans? Did I threaten anyone? I am prepared now to tell you, if you have
anything or any evidence, even if it is just very little, that proves I went to the
embassy and looked like that [Detainee made a gesture with his head and neck
as if he were looking into a building or a window] at the embassy, then I am
ready to be punished. I can just tell you that I did not plan anything. Point by
point, when we get to the point that I am associated with Al-Qaeda, but we
already did that one.

Recorder: It was [the] statement that preceded the first point,

Detainee: If it is the same point, but I do not want to repeat myself.


These accusations, my answer to all of them is I did not do these
things. But I do not have anything to prove this. The only thing is
the citizenship. I can tell you where I was and I had the papers to
prove so. But to tell me I planned to bomb, I can only tell you that I
did not plan.

Tribunal President: Mustafa, does that conclude your statement?

Detainee: That is it, but I was hoping you had evidence that you
can give me. If I was in your place - and I apologize in advance for
these words - but if a supervisor came to me and showed me
accusations like these, I would take these accusations and I would
hit him in the face with them. Sorry about that. [Everyone in the
Tribunal room laughs.]

Tribunal President: We had to laugh, but it is okay.

56
Detainee: Why? Because these are accusations that I can't even
answer, I am not able to answer them. You tell me I am from Al-
Qaeda, but I am not an Al-Qaeda. I don't have any proof to give you
except to ask you to catch bin Laden and ask him if I am a part of
Al-Qaeda. To tell me that I thought, I’ll just tell you that I did not. I
don't have proof regarding this. What should be done is you should
give me evidence regarding these accusations because I am not
able to give you any evidence. I can just tell you no, and that is it.

The judge gave us another look at just who has been labeled, “Enemy
Combatant” – “First, although the detainee was alleged to have been indicted by
a Spanish National High Court Judge for membership in a terrorist organization,
the tribunal did not, find any evidence relating to that indictment “helpful in
establishing the detainee's association with Al-Qaeda.” Second, although the
detainee was alleged to have attempted “to board an airplane with equipment
that resembled a homemade electronic device (deleted). Even accepting these
factual conclusions as true, a serious legal question exists as, to whether such
activities would be sufficient to detain the petitioner at Guantanamo Bay
indefinitely without formally charging him with a crime.” 58

The International Red Cross has noted “deterioration in the psychological


health of a large number of the detainees and as a result, 32 of the Brothers
imprisoned there have attempted suicide since the death camp opened in
January 2002. In June 2006 three detainees succeeded.

MOSQUES: OUR BASE OF OPERATIONS

Mosques are a center of Hamas activity: When Brother Barzilai of Hamas


was captured by the Israelis he told his interrogators: “The recruitment of the
people to the Committees will be done via dead letter drops (DLB) and
messages, not face to face, so that if someone is arrested he won’t be able to tell
who recruited him.” Brother Musa Bassar told the Israelis: “My contact with these
areas was done through DLP points for communication that are located in Al-
Rahma Mosque in Khan Yunes and Al-Huna Mosque in Rafah, and the prayer
area Abu Ahmad Al-Nuri in Nusayrat, and Abu Hadra Mosque in Gaza and Al-
Hulfa Al-Rashadin Mosque in Jabaliyah.” 59 In February 2003 an explosive vest
designed for use in a suicide attack was found in a mosque in the Israeli-Arab
city of Taibe. The explosives pack was in a bathroom of the mosque where 1,500
worshippers often attend Friday services. U.S. News & World Report broke the
story of how the FBI has been secretly monitoring radiation levels at mosques
and other Muslim-related sites, primarily in the Washington, D.C., area, but also
around the U.S., without obtaining search warrants or any sort of court orders,
prompting a backlash from Muslim groups.

UNWITTING LOGISTICAL SUPPORT FOR OUR BROTHERS FROM OUR
MOSQUES

The 9/11 Commission pointed its withered finger at


Mohdar Abdullah, a follower of Mohammad [PBUH] who
inadvertently crossed paths with September 11 th Shaheeds
Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Midhar at a mosque in
California. The only thing Mohdar Abdullah was guilty of was
being a Muslim yet in May 2004 the learned men at the 9/11
Commission learned of reports about Mohdar Abdullah
bragging to fellow inmates at a California prison in September-
October 2003 that he had known Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Midhar were
planning a terrorist attack. The Commission however, had to admit that the
stories attributed to Mohdar Abdullah are not entirely consistent with each other:

Specifically, according to one inmate, Mohdar Abdullah claimed an


unnamed individual had notified him that Nawaf al-Hazmi and
Khalid al-Midhar would be arriving in Los Angeles with plans to
carry out an attack. Abdullah allegedly told the same inmate that he
had driven the two al-Qaeda Shaheeds from Los Angeles to San
Diego, but did not say when this occurred. We have been unable to
corroborate this account. Another inmate has recalled Mohdar
Abdullah claiming he first heard about the hijackers' terrorist plans
after they arrived in San Diego, when they told him they planned to
fly an airplane into a building and invited him to join them on the
plane. According to this inmate, Mohdar Abdullah also claimed to
have found out about the 9/11 attacks three weeks in advance, a
claim that appears to dovetail with evidence that Mohdar Abdullah
may have received a phone call from Nawaf al-Hazmi around that
time, that he stopped making calls from his telephone after August
25, 2001, and that, according to his friends, he started acting
strangely.
The 9/11 Commission was willing to take the word of convicted felons who
would implicate their own mothers in 9/11 if it meant being released earlier over
that of a religious man with no priors. As if one of our jihadi would blurt something
out like this? If this were the case we would be calling him, “Abdullah the Blurter.”
As if Brother Hamzi would say anything about our operation on a telephone?
Mohdar Abdullah stopped making ALL calls from his telephone. He did not even
call a local Halal pizzeria to order? Why stop making all calls and not just
sensitive ones? Abdullah was deported to Yemen on May 21, 2004, after the
U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of California declined to prosecute him on
charges arising out of his alleged jailhouse admissions concerning the 9/11
Shaheeds. The Department of Justice declined to delay his removal pending
further investigation of this “new” information provided by the 9/11 Commission.

58
JDL TERRORISTS RUBIN AND KRUGEL PLAN TO BOMB ONE OF OUR
MAJOR BASES OF OPERATION

It was the Imam Fahad Al Thumairy who provided


logistical support to these Shaheeds, not Mohdar Abdullah, but
the 9/11 Commission would absolve Fahad Al Thumairy from
all blame because of his connection to Saudi Arabia Royal
Family as he had worked for the Saudi consulate in Los
Angeles as an accredited diplomat from 1996 until 2003 and
held a post in the Islamic and cultural affairs section of the
consulate. On May 6, 2003, Thumairy attempted to reenter the
United States from Saudi Arabia but was refused entry, based
on a determination by the State Department that he might be connected with so-
called terrorists.60 Aside from his post as a diplomat Al Thumairy was also the
Imam at the King Fahd Mosque in Culver City. In 2001 the King Fahd Mosque,
built with financing from the Saudi government, was a center of our activities and
as a result was the target of a foiled bomb plot by Irv Rubin, a thug who headed
the Jewish Defense League (JDL) after Rabbi Kahane was eliminated. The
Jewish extremist organizations concentrate their intelligence efforts on our
activities and are dangerous to us as they operate, as al-Qaeda does, outside
American law. For example on October 11, 1985, Alexander Michel Odeh was
killed when a bomb exploded at the Office of the American-Arab Anti-
Discrimination Committee in Santa Ana, California. Alex Odeh, who was the
Western Regional Director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee,
was killed when he unlocked and opened the door of the American-Arab Anti-
Discrimination Committee's office at approximately 9:00 a.m. In addition to killing
Odeh, the bomb injured several other people and caused massive damage to the
building. For many years the FBI suspected that the Los Angeles chapter of the
Jewish Defense League, headed by Irv Rubin, had supplied the explosives used
in this murder.

In October 2001 Irv Rubin and his sidekick Earl Krugel


began to connive and conspire to bomb both the offices of one
of our top Congressional defenders, Congressman Darrell Issa
and the King Fahd Mosque. However, these plans were
thwarted when Danny Gillis, an operative of Rubin for many
years, became an FBI informer. There are some reports that Gillis soured on
Rubin when Rubin suggested blowing up a mosque with young children in it.
However Gillis had worked with Rubin in an aborted scheme to blow up another
mosque. Other unconfirmed reports have Gillis charged with stealing government
property while he was in the Navy and “working off the beef” by setting up Rubin
and Krugel. Tapes were made, explosives purchased, and bombs partially
assembled. It was an open and shut case and the pair were arrested in

The Feds had the two Jewish extremists dead to rights and they believed
that Rubin and Krugel could provide first hand testimony in the long unresolved
Alex Odeh case. Rubin knew that the FBI was determined to make him talk, and
when he felt like he might capitulate and testify before a Grand Jury or in open
court, he killed himself by slitting his own throat then jumping off a prison tier.
The Jewish terrorist Rubin committed suicide in prison rather than co-operate
with authorities in the investigation of the assassination of Brother Alex Odeh.

After Irv Rubin’s death Earl Krugel agreed to co-operate, but drew the line
at providing eyewitness testimony against the FBI’s major suspects who currently
reside in the occupied West Bank - but could be extradited to the United States
due to a change in Israeli extradition laws that was retroactive. The FBI had
reason to believe that Krugel had not been fully forthcoming and its suspicions
were reinforced when Krugel, asked about the Odeh assassination during a
polygraph test, showed deception about having eyewitness knowledge of the
transfer of explosives from Rubin to the suspects. As a result the U.S. Attorney
called the plea deal off. Krugel then came up with some additional names that
the Department of Justice already had. Still no deal because the Feds thought
they were being played. All of this maneuvering was later sealed so that the FBI
would not have to reveal the status of its investigation, and Earl Krugel got the
maximum sentence: 20 years. The judge was incensed at this potential hate
crime, the prosecution and the FBI were left with an open case…there is still a
one million dollar reward for information on the Alex Odeh killing.

On November 4, 2005 Earl Krugel died after being hit in the back of the
head with a brick in the exercise yard of FCI Phoenix. There are numerous
federal prisons in California. Why was he sent to one in Arizona where it would
be difficult for his family to visit him? Was it because he co-operated so he was
moved out of the locality where people were affected by his co-operation and
might retaliate? Unlikely, as there are no known JDL members behind bars in the
Federal System. Why wasn’t Krugel placed in Protective Custody? Fox News
reported that Krugel’s attorney Mark Werksman questioned why Krugel was
transferred to a medium-security prison. He had been in protective custody at
Los Angeles' federal Metropolitan Detention Center with Irv Rubin then he was
put in the general population at his own request, as was Rubin. This was in a
federal facility in LA where many pre-trial prisoners are incarcerated for offenses
such as re-entry into the US after having been deported, drugs etc. and there
were no reports of their having been attacked.

Technically Krugel should have been sent to an ADMAX because he was


involved in terrorism. In an ADMAX everyone is in Protective Custody of sorts
and locked down 23 hours a day and prisoners are kept away from one another
so although the conditions of confinement are designed to destroy someone
mentally, there is not the much violence. Krugel would have broken down but it
might have taken years. It looked as if the Bureau Of Prisons was doing him a
favor sending him to a medium security facility. However, there is less

60
segregation of prisoners in a medium. Prison guards can manipulate a situation
so that a prisoner can be put in the proximity of prisoners who the guards know
are likely to attack them. That was the idea. Krugel gets beat up a few times and
then decides to testify. A form of torture that Krugel would have approved of if it
was used against us. However there was a miscalculation on the part of the BOP
and Krugel was killed. This was unintentional since “dead men don’t talk.” David
Frank Jennings was charged with the murder. Jennings was serving a 70-month
sentence at FCI Phoenix for a 2003 bank robbery in Las Vegas, which netted him
$1,040. Because Jennings had threatened the teller during the robbery,
authorities eventually extended his plea bargain sentence from 63 months to 70
months. Jennings, who lived in Oregon before moving to Nevada, has multiple
convictions, but court records did not indicate any association with racist or anti-
Semitic groups in or out of prison.

BOOK TWO:
ISLAMISM AND THE CULTURE THAT IT GENERATES

THE SINS OF ISLAM

Whenever the Muslims hold on to their religion and their culture they
manage to defeat their enemies. But when they are fragmented and disunited
their enemies manage to defeat them, as we were defeated when Ottoman
Empire was vanquished on March 3, 1924 when Kamal Ataturk, the founder of
modern Turkey, abolished the Caliphate after nearly thirteen hundred and fifty
years of existence. After expelling the colonialists, our Islamic nation was afflicted
with apostate rulers who took over in the Muslim nation. These rulers turned out
to be more kafir and criminal than the colonialists themselves and led the Muslim
people astray and into the pre-Islamic world of sin.

SOME OF ISLAM’S SEVENTY MAJOR SHIRKS (SINS)

1. The first sin is to believe that Allah has an equal, or to worship


someone or something other than Him, such as a stone, a tree, a
star, the sun, the moon, or a false prophet, a saint, or an angel.
This is the greatest shirk, about which Allah the Most High says:
“Indeed, Allah doesn’t forgive associating anything with Him, and
He forgives whatever is other than that to whomever He wills.” 61

A controversy has arisen over the years in regard to this shirk, due to
Christian propaganda coming from the Southern Baptist Convention that alleged
we, in fact, worship at least two stones. The polytheists claim that our holiest
shrine, the Ka’bah, was a pagan temple located in Mecca, filled with 365 stone
idols. They say that when Muhammad returned after converting the people of
Medina, he destroyed every idol except one called Allah, which was the god of
the Koreish tribe, of which Mohammed was a member. These pagans claim that

61
. Al-Nisa 4:48 and 116

61
the only thing now left of this idol is fragments of a black stone, the Hajar al-
Aswad. This is a lie. The Hajar al-Aswad was a gift from Allah to the Prophet
Abraham [PBUH] who obtained it from the Angel Gabriel.

The Qu’ran reveals that Mohammed [PBUH] confirmed that the black
stone had the power to take away man’s sins. Prophet Muhammad [PBUH] said:
“The Black stone descended from heaven, when it was whiter than Milk, but
people’s sins have blackened it.” 62 It is the centuries-old tradition of Muslims to
touch and kiss the stone because this was the prophet Mohammed’s practice.
Muslims know that the Prophet taught that if one kissed the stone with conviction
from the heart and walked around the Ka’bah praying to Allah, the stone will bear
witness to one’s supplication on the Day of Judgment, when the stone will be
given vision and the power to talk. He obligated every believer to make a
pilgrimage to the stone at least once in his lifetime. 63 It was narrated that Ibn
‘Abbaas said: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon
him) said this concerning the Stone: ‘By Allah, Allah will bring it forth on the Day
of Resurrection, and it will have two eyes with which it will see and a tongue with
which it will speak, and it will testify in favor of those who touched it in
sincerity.’”64

This is where the trouble arises, Oh


Learned Elders of Islam. Supernatural powers are
attributed to the stone, Muslims travel far to kiss
the stone, yet the stone is not an idol? How do we
answer this? Firstly, the stone is NOT mentioned
in the Qu’ran, only in Hadith. We must quote Zaid
bin Aslam’s father who said: “Umar bin Al-Khattab
addressed the Black Stone saying, 'By Allah! I
know that you are a stone and can neither benefit nor harm. Had I not seen the
Prophet [PBUH] touching (and kissing) you, I would never have touched (and
kissed) you.’ Then he kissed it and said, ‘There is no reason for us to do Ramal 65
in Tawaf66 except that we wanted to show off before the pagans, and now Allah
has destroyed them.’ ‘Umar added, ‘(Nevertheless), the Prophet did that and we
do not want to leave it (i.e. Ramal).’” 67 So kissing it is merely a ritual, despite the
supernatural powers attributed to the stone. We do not have replicas of the black
stone in our mosques. Another rock that is sacred to Islam is found in the Dome
of the Rock. Inside the Dome is an outcropping of the bedrock of Mount Moriah,

Haafiz ibn Hajar in Fath al-Baari, 3/462.
65
. The ritual where male pilgrims are required to walk briskly with their chests thrust forward and with their shoulders
rolling slightly during the first three circuits of Tawaf ul-Qudum (Arrival Tawaf). Ar-Ramal was prescribed for Muslims as
when they carry out this ritual they look like a wide ocean or a huge army; the matter which makes Muslims appear very
strong in the eyes of their enemies. Really, this scene is enough to frighten the enemies of Islam and to persuade them
shun their harm and evil intended for Muslims. Also, may this great scene softens and penetrates the hearts of those
infidels and polytheists and make them surrender to Allah’s Will and thus find nothing better than embracing His True
Religion, Islam.

the “Sacred Rock.” On the rock’s pock marked surface is one indentation which
is the footprint left by Mohammed as he leapt into heaven.

There are other aspects of Islam where stones play a key role. The Hadith
teaches: Ibn 'Umar, May Allah be pleased with them, reported: Allah's
Messenger [PBUH] said: You will fight against the Jews and you will kill them
until even a stone will say: Come here, Muslim, there is a Jew (hiding himself
behind me); kill him. Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:
Allah's Messenger [PBUH] said: The Last Hour68 will not come until the Muslims
fight against the Jews and the Muslims will kill them until the Jews will hide
themselves behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say: Muslim, the
servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the Gharqad
tree will not say this, for it is the tree of the Jews.”69 The American Christian
racists have an expression “find the nigger in the woodpile.” The Elders have
transformed this into, “Find the Jew behind the Gharqad tree.”

At the tent-city in Mina, Hajjis echo Abraham and his family’s stoning of
the devil by throwing 21 stones each at three pillars. At the 2004 event someone
had scrawled the letters USA on the largest of the pillars, making an equation
between Satan and the United States. While great numbers of Hajjis have lost
their lives in fires and stampedes, to die while carrying out the pilgrimage is a
guarantee of going straight to heaven.

It is the Catholic Church, with its Crucifixes, Sculptures, Madonnas,


Saints, icons and idols who are the idolaters. Their religion is filled with sin. The
followers of Allah are still determined to put an end to the head of this Christian
Catholic serpent, the leader of the modern day Crusaders. If al-Qaeda cannot
assassinate him we will attack his houses of worship. Haider Slimane Khalfaoui,
a 27-year-old Algerian Brother, was accused of planning to bomb Strasbourg’s
cathedral two during the festival of Christmas 2000 and was arrested in Paris.
Three other Algerian jihadi were detained in Frankfurt. In addition to weapons
and explosives, the German police officers found on their premises a video
cassette containing traditional music and shots of the Cathedral Our-Lady of
Strasbourg and along with the words: “It is necessary to destroy the temple of the
enemies of God.” In March 2003 the cell members, who could not be
conclusively linked to al-Qaeda were convicted of conspiracy to commit murder,
conspiring to plant a bomb and weapons violations. They were sentenced to
prison terms of between 10 and 12 years. Isabelle Coutant-Peyre represented
them. The Protestant Christians, especially missionaries, must suffer a similar
fate.

2. Not fasting or ejaculating on Ramadan without an excuse.


Aishah70 said: “The Prophet [PBUH] would kiss and embrace [his
68
. Judgment Day.
69
. Al-Bukhari 2926; Muslim, 2921-2
70
. 'Aishah, may God be pleased with her, narrated that the Prophet was betrothed (zawaj) to her when she was six years
old and he consummated (nikah) his marriage when she was nine years old, and then she remained with him for nine
years. (Saheeh al-Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 62, Number 64) The prophet was fifty years old at the time of his

63
wives] while he was fasting, for he had the most control of all of you
over his desires.”71 But for mortals, ejaculation voids the fast even if
it was just due to kissing, hugging, or masturbation, and the day
must be made up.

Additionally it has been proven medically that masturbation causes


numerous illnesses. This is what Sheikh Abdul-Aziz Ibn Baz, the Grand Mufti of
the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the President of the Committee of Major
Scholars and the Center for Knowledge Based Research and Verdicts, one of the
most learned scholars in Islam, wrote on the subject:

a. Masturbation weakens the eyesight and decreases its sharpness


to a great extent.

b. Masturbation causes the private part to become frail and feeble


and it creates a partial or total laxity in it, resulting in the person
becoming more resembling to women, due to the loss of his
distinctive manliness by means of which Allah has granted man
virtue over woman. He is thus unable to get married. And in the
event of him getting married, he will not be able to fulfill the
responsibilities of marriage as required. This will cause his wife to
cast her gaze on other men, resulting in such harms that are
apparent.

c. Masturbation creates a weakness in the nerves and sinews due


to the physical exertion involved in this act.

d. Masturbation disrupts and upsets the digestive system, thus


impeding this process.

e. It creates an impediment in the growth of the body organs, the


penis and testicles in particular, thus they do not grow to their
natural limit.

f. Masturbation causes an inflammation in the testicles resulting in


premature ejaculation to this extent that by mere frictional contact
of the penis, ejaculation occurs.

g. Masturbation causes pain in the vertebral column (spine) - the


place from which sperm originates - due to which crookedness and
bending occurs in the back.

h. Due to constant ejaculation, the sperm no more remains thick


and dense as it normally occurs in males. This results in a
deficiency in sperm and in many cases leaving it faint and thin
engagement.
71
. Bukhari and Muslim.

64
which is not ‘mighty enough’ to impregnate. This is the cause for
such children to be more prone to disease and illness as against
those who are born from natural sperm.

i. Masturbation causes trembling and instability in some parts of the


body like the feet.

j. Masturbation weakens the cerebral glands, thus weakening the


faculty of perception. It also decreases one’s intellect and can even
lead to mental disorders and insanity.72

3. Not performing Hajj, while being able to do so.

Hajj is the highest of all Muslim practices, even if less than 10% of all Muslims
can afford to perform it. In modern times about 2 million Muslims perform the hajj
every year. Saudi authorities have now put regulations on how many can come
to Mecca from each country. One has to apply, and many are turned down. This
is what Sheik Omar Abdul Rahman had to say about how the Saudi’s have
desecrated the Hajj:

The Saudis claim to be Muslims, while Islam disclaims them. Their


king calls himself the protector of the Two Holy Shrines while he is
their destroyer and the desecrator of the Holy Land by permitting in
the country the monkey’s and the pig’s grandchildren, the
Americans and the Jews. At the same time the country is wide
open for those who are cow worshippers and paganists - for the
Christians and the Jews before them. Meanwhile, the Monotheists
who declare no God but Allah, are prevented from entering the land
of the Hijaz. At the same time, it allows the American army to
perform prostitution, drink liquor and import beer from the country of
Dog Uncle Sam…When I went to perform pilgrimage my house was
surrounded by several police cars, they blocked everyone from
going through and whoever attempted to visit me, be it a Saudi or
an Egyptian, was arrested and framed with accusations. If it was a
Saudi citizen, he was accused of dealing with a foreign entity. If it
was an Egyptian, he was deported, his work contract was
cancelled, and he was taken to the slaughterhouse of Lazoughi,
(the Egyptian Ministry of Justice) for more than a month. This
octopus of Saudi family rulers is destroying Islam rather than
serving it…We will meet again with the Saudi family devils, the
butchers of Lazoughli and their masters, the Zionists. 73

In 1987 the Saudis massacred more than 400 Iranian pilgrims when they
took part in a rally in accordance with the command of Allah [subhanahu wa
72
. Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah bin Baaz, Grand Mufti and Head - Department of Islamic Research, Iftaa and Propagation -

. USA v Rahman GE 808T

65
ta’ala]. These men could not fight back because Pilgrims must assume the state
of Ihram, donning white garments, outlawing anger, killing (including insects and
even Jews), scratching, (in case an insect be killed) and sexual relations. Mirrors
and any form of perfume are not permitted. 74 Since, such activities have been
severely constrained, and every effort has been made to prevent other pilgrims
from coming into contact with those from Iran. As far as the Saudis are
concerned, Hajj must not be performed according to the Qur’an’s injunctions;
only a ritual Hajj is permissible.

4. Fornication and Pedophilia: Some have wrongly pointed to this passage from
the Qu’ran to discredit Islam: “Narrated Hisham’s father: Khadija died three years
before the Prophet [PBUH] departed to Medina. He stayed there for two years or
so and then he married Aisha when she was a girl of six years of age, and he
consumed that marriage when she was nine years old.” 75 By marrying Aisha,
Mohammad, who was fifty years old at the time, was not himself a pedophile. In
Islam, sexual relations with children, under the umbrella of marriage of girls from
9 years on, is legal and allowed. But if the sexual partner’s are unmarried at least
one of them must be stoned to death. What is more significant is the fact that this
marriage took place at a time when social customs were radically different than
they are today, if you discount Internet Chat Rooms.

THE DEMON-POSSESSED PEDOPHILES OF CHRISTIANITY

The Christian missionaries point to this marriage as indicative of the


corruption of Islam. But I ask you, my fellow Islamists, how many instances of an
Imam molesting a child do you hear of today? Groups like the Southern Baptists
would have us believe that Christianity is superior to Islam. Christianity is
ministered by demon-possessed pedophiles who had have had so many
encounters with young boys the Learned Elders of Islam are at a loss to recount
them all. The sexual abuse has now spread to nearly every American Catholic
diocese and involves more than 1,200 priests who have abused more than 4,000
minors. 4,268 people claimed publicly or in lawsuits to have been abused by
priests, and many more have remained silent. Roughly two-thirds of the top U.S.
Catholic leaders have allowed priests accused of sexual abuse to keep working,
a practice that spans decades and continues today. Thomas V. Daily, head of the
Brooklyn Diocese, acknowledged that he did nothing in response to
a string of complaints that a Priest named Shanley 76 was giving
speeches outside of Boston that endorsed sex between men and
boys and was attending the formative meetings of the North
American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) along with orthodox
74
. Qu’ran 9:3
75
. Sahih Bukhari Volume 5, Book 58, Number 236
76
. The Cardinal of Boston, Bernard Law knew that priests such as Paul Shanley had 26 accusations of child abuse
against him, dating back to 1966, yet did not report him to the police and did not defrock this evil Christian. Shanley was
indicted on ten counts of child rape and six counts of indecent assault, and was released on $300,000 cash bail, the
source of which remains a mystery. Had Shanley been arrested on drug charges he would have had to reveal the source
of the cash bail. In early 2003 Law was questioned by a criminal grand jury that was trying to decide whether to indict him
and by the spring of 2003 a California diocese sued the Archdiocese of Boston for damages since they hid Shanley’s past
from them and claimed he was not a pervert.

66
Rabbi A. Shneur Horowitz who, after graduating magna cum laude from Harvard
College, receiving M.D. and Ph.D. degrees from Duke University, became a
NAMBLA founding member. Bishop Daily admitted there was no indication that
the archdiocese investigated those or subsequent similar accusations, discussed
them with Father Shanley or did anything to reprimand him. 77 Cardinal Law read
about Father Paul Shanley’s NAMBLA connection in 1985 in a letter from one of
his parishioners. In June 2002 testimony, he first said he probably had seen the
letter then said he had not.78 According to an independent study’s findings
published by the St Louis Post-Dispatch paper a priest or another nun has
sexually abused 40% of nuns in the United States. 4,450 priests have been
accused of sexually abusing minors since 1950.

NO RAPE OR CHILD MOLESTATION IN ISLAM

There is no penalty of rape mention in the Holy Qu’ran. The only reference
to the penalty for rape appears in the Hadith Narrated Wa'il ibn Hujr:

When a woman went out in the time of the Prophet (peace be upon
him) for prayer, a man attacked her and overpowered (raped) her.
She shouted and he went off, and when a man came by, she said:
That (man) did such and such to me. And when a company of the
Emigrants [followers of the Prophet] came by, she said: That man
did such and such to me. They went and seized the man whom
they thought had had intercourse with her and brought him to her.
She said: Yes, this is he. Then they brought him to the Apostle of
Allah. When he (the Prophet) was about to pass sentence, the man
who (actually) had assaulted her stood up and said: Apostle of
Allah, I am the man who did it to her. He (the Prophet) said to her:
Go away, for Allah has forgiven you. But he told the man some
good words (Abu Dawud said: meaning the man who was seized),
and of the man who had had intercourse with her, he said: Stone
him to death. He also said: He has repented to such an extent that
if the people of Medina had repented similarly, it would have been
accepted from them.79

This Saying is not an authentic one, because it didn't come from a Sahih
(authentic in English) source. It came from Sunan Abu Dawud. Sayings of our
Prophet's companions and wives narrated in Sunan Abu Dawud are indeed
authentic. But Sayings from other people such as above are doubtful. The only
volumes that had been double and triple checked and are absolutely authentic to
the Muslims are the Sahih volumes. With Sunan Abu Dawud we have to be extra
careful, for it contains truthful and untruthful narrations about our Prophet peace

be upon him.80 This Saying contains many contradictions. Why are those who
leaving the land characterized as morally superior to its permanent citizens? Why
did the all-knowing Apostle of Allah wrongfully condemn an innocent man to
death? Why did he take the word of one witness when the Qu’ran states, “And get
two witnesses of your own men, and if there are not two men then a man and two women
such as you choose for witnesses - so that if one of them errs, the other can remind
her...”81 It is almost impossible to convict a man of adultery as it requires the testimony of
four pious men. This is why in Pakistan, some 60% of women who file complaints
that they have been raped are later charged themselves with having sex outside
of marriage.82 On September 6, 2001 the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet
reported that “non-Western” immigrants – meaning Muslim, committed 65% of all
the rapes committed in Norway. A University of Oslo professor insisted,
“Norwegians must realize that we live in a multi-cultural society and adapt to it.
They must realize that Muslim men consider their manner of dress
inappropriate.”83 This feeling was reflected when 300 members of the Islamic
Defenders Front trashed the office of Indonesian Playboy Magazine in Jakarta
despite the lack of nudity in its publication. Sheik Taj el-Din Hamid Hilaly, the
mufti of Australia's biggest mosque stated ''If you take out uncovered meat and
place it outside on the street, or in the garden or in the park, or in the backyard
without a cover, and the cats come and eat it,'' he said, according to the
translation, ''whose fault is it, the cats or the uncovered meat? The uncovered
meat is the problem.'' Egyptina born Hilaly glorified martyrdom and calling the
Sept. 11 attacks in the United States the work of God, was an Australian citizen
and could not be deported.84

The Islamic promise of accessing heaven for sexual use of virgin girls is
not in itself pedophilia. It occurs in heaven and not on earth: “God has many
awards for the Shaheed: He is forgiven for his sins with the first gush of blood, he
is given a seat in Paradise and will be decorated with the jewels of faith, he is
married to 72 heavenly brides and he can plead on behalf of seventy people from
his relatives.”85 The fifty-sixth Sura also contains a description of heaven. Those
persons who attain it are in “gardens of delight,” with “inwrought couches”
whereon they could recline as “aye (ever) blooming youths,” and that “flowing
wine” of the best celestial vintage would be brought to them. They would enjoy
their “favorite fruits” and be able to eat whatever birds they long for. “Houris [i.e.,
prostitutes] with large dark eyes” who were “ever virgin,” never growing old,
would supply them with the pleasures of physical love (sex). The September 11 th
Shaheeds were given this promise,

When the storming begins, strike like heroes who are determined
not to return to this world. Glorify Allah because this cry will strike
terror in the hearts of the infidels. Strike above the necks, strike all

5. Lying about Allah and His Messenger or converting to another religion:

Anyone who is shown the truth of the supremacy of Allah and His Messenger
and rejects it is a liar: “Fight against those who believe not in Allah and the Last
Day and forbid what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden -- such men as
practice not the religion of truth, being of those who have been given the Book --
until they pay tribute out of hand and have been humbled.” 86 Anyone doubts the
existence of Allah, questions the word of a sacred text, criticizes laws,
statements, figures, actions within that text has blasphemed. Essentially, any
statement or action that challenges the Islamic faith can be considered
Blasphemy.

Many Muslim Republics follow this rule. In the western


Iranian city of Hamedan, university professor Hashem Aghajari
was sentenced to death for blaspheming Prophet Mohammad
[PBUH]. He was further sentenced to exile in the desert cities of
Tabas, Zabol and Gonabad and banned from teaching for 10
years despite the fact that several major clerics in the religious
city of Qom had refused to confirm that Aghajari’s remarks
constituted an insult to Islamic sanctities. Aghajari was summoned
to court in August 2002 after he called for religious restructuring in Iran. Speaking
at a function to commemorate Ali Shariati, a prominent Iranian intellectual
assassinated by the Shah, Aghajari criticized the Islamic principle of taqlid87 of
religious leaders and called for a “religious renewal” of Shi’ite Islam saying
Muslims “should not blindly follow religious leaders like monkeys.” Aghajari
refused to challenge his sentence saying: “If the death verdict is true, let them
carry it out, and if it is wrong then the judiciary needs to work on its
shortcomings.” Aghajari’s arrest sparked days of demonstrations by students
who erroneously claimed that: “Apostasy has no meaning in the world today,
which favors freedom of speech and opinion.”

Loyal Islamists joined Aghajari in calling for his execution. The Islamist
militia demonstrated against the students. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called for a
review of the case but said of the students: “Those who accuse the Islamic
system of despotism and being against freedom are either the enemy or have
been deceived by the enemy.” Then, following weekly Friday prayers some 1,000
Islamist demonstrators marched outside Tehran University, which has been the
scene of student rallies in support of Aghajari. The demonstrators chanted:
“Hashem Aghajari must be executed,” and “Iran’s Salman Rushdie must be
86
. Sura al-Tawba 9:29
87
. Emulation.

69
executed.” In the Iranian Parliament hard-line member Muhammad Muhammadi
accused Rajabali Mazroui, a pro-reform member, of being a traitor and of
provoking students. Muhammadi threatened to call on the people to “tear him to
pieces.”88 Hashem Aghajari signed a petition denying that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
was the envoy of Allah on earth and was behind student demonstrations in
February and June 2003, while he was awaiting a possible revision of his death
sentence. The Supreme Court overturned his conviction but now the case is back
in a court in Hamedan who upheld the original verdict and sent the case back to
the Supreme Court. As well as the death sentence for apostasy and insulting the
early imams, he received further sentences of a 10-year ban on teaching, eight
years in jail and 74 lashes for lesser offences. 89 This is how one student
described the situation:

During the past few nights, we Iranian youth have been agitating at
great risk to our lives to remove the 24-year-old plague that has
stricken our homeland. Our goal is to topple the theocratic regime
of the mullahs. Our opponents are barbarian vigilante members of
Ansaar-e-Hizb’allah who are backed by heavily armed Iranian riot
police. Westerners may have difficulty imagining what these people
are like. In fact, it's quite easy: Simply remember the Taliban. The
only difference is that they don't wear Afghani clothes. Ansaar-e-
Hizb’allah entered our dormitory and shot tear gas, sending all the
students fleeing to their rooms; then they entered the buildings, and
started kicking in and breaking down the doors...They were
shouting ‘Leader accept this from us.’ Three attackers found an
unlucky student alone in his room. Two held his hands at his sides
while a third sodomized him with a dagger, inflicting a wound 12
centimeters deep. The student was taken to a Shariati hospital and
bled for hours. He is still fighting for his life... 90

Pakistan has passed important legislation, known in the Penal Code as


“Offenses Relating to Religion” that on their surface forbid blasphemy, but in
reality target converts:

295. Injuring or defiling a place of worship, with intent to insult the


religion of any class. Punishment: Two years in prison or fine or
both.

295A. Deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious


feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs.
Punishment: Ten years in prison or fine or both.

295B. The defiling of a copy of the Holy Qur`an in any manner.
Punishment: Life in prison.

295C. The use of any derogatory remarks in respect to the Holy


Prophet [PBUH]. Punishment: Death penalty.

These laws are strictly enforced. Here are some examples: Having
converted from Islam to Christianity, Tahir Iqbal was arrested in December 1990,
in Lahore, Pakistan, accused of desecrating the Qur`an by underlining various
sections and writing in the margins. Iqbal was disabled and was confined to a
wheelchair. Although lawyers fought for his release, he never was granted bail
and died in jail, from accidental poisoning. He had been charged with violations
of Sections 295B and 295C.

Rehmat Manzoor, Manzoor Masih and Salamat Masih, a


13-year-old boy, were Christians charged with blasphemy
under Section 295C for writing slogans on a mosque wall. In
the trial court, all three were convicted and sentenced to death.
An appeal was allowed when it was determined that they were
illiterate. During the appeal process, Manzoor Masih was shot
to death as he left an attorney’s office; the other two were shot
at as well, and were seriously injured, but survived. In March
1995 Judge Arif Iqbal Bhatti acquitted the surviving defendants after they
appealed to the Lahore High Court. Islamists called for the hanging of the two,
who later were smuggled out of the country. In October 1997, as he left the
Lahore High Court, Judge Bhatti was shot to death.

Samuel Masih was jailed on August 23, 2003 after collecting garden
rubbish, which he heaped temporarily against the wall of a mosque in Lahore.
Before he could be tried he contracted tuberculosis and was taken to a hospital
where a Brother working as a policeman beat him to death with a hammer. 91

Blasphemy trials are conducted in accordance with the application of


Islamic tenets, to ensure their integrity. The testimony of a non-Muslim witness is
worth only one-half that of a Muslim witness. Therefore, in criminal cases
requiring the testimony of two (or four) Muslim witnesses, double that number of
non-Muslim witnesses would need to testify, if indeed a kafir is considered
competent at all.

During the trial of the esteemed Elder of Islam, Ahmed Omar Saeed
Sheik, for the beheading of Mossad Agent Daniel Pearl, defense lawyer Rai
Bashir accused prosecutor Raja Quereshi of making statements derogatory to
Islam and to Islam’s prophet Mohammed, but did not reveal Quereshi’s specific
words.92 Quereshi called the allegation baseless. This was a message to

71
vigilante Islamists in Pakistan. When the word “blasphemy” is mentioned it is a
signal to assassinate the person accused of it. In November 2002 Quereshit
resigned as the Advocate General of the Southern Province of Sindh: “Whatever
the reasons are I will tell them to the authorities,” the traitor said.

Qur’anic verse also states: “If any one desires a religion other than Islam,
never will it be accepted of him, and in the hereafter he will be in the ranks of
those who have lost.”93 Mohammed said “Whoever changes his religion, kill
him.”94 Shari'ah prosecutors in Nigeria, where Shari'ah has been introduced in
many majority Muslim northern states, have sought the death penalty for two
men accused of converting from Islam to Christianity. In Kano State a group of
Shari'ah Vigilantes known as the Hisbah will enforce such laws. In March 2006
Abdul Rahman faced the death penalty in Afghanistan for converting to
Christianity or ridda, the act of renouncing one’s own faith thanks to the
compromise Constitution that Afghanistan adopted in 2004. One passage
declares Islam Afghanistan's supreme law, while another states that the country
grants its citizens religious freedom. Mr. Rahman told reporters: “I am not an
infidel. I am Christian. I believe in Jesus.” Rahman was flown to Italy and granted
asylum there. His escape was “a net of conspiracies” according to one Taliban-
oriented legislator. In Algeria Christian missionaries can be locked up for five
years for convincing a Muslim to commit ridda, i.e. getting ridda Mohamad.95

6. Bearing false witness.

The Elders of Islam have been accused of bearing false witness against Jews
when Islamists wrote about their practice of killing Christian and Muslim children
in order to make Passover matzo and pastry used for the holiday of Purim. On
October 24, 2001, the Palestinian Liberation Organization Mufti, Sheik Colonel
Nader Al-Tamini, said in a television debate on Al-Jazeera that there would be no
peace with the Jews because they suck and use the blood of Arabs on the
holidays of Passover and Purim. Just four days later, the official Egyptian
newspaper Al-Ahram published a full-page article by columnist Adel Hamooda
titled, A Jewish Matzo Made from Arab Blood. It retold the blood libel story in
great detail. Arab children, he wrote, are often found torn to pieces without a
single drop of blood in their bodies. In The Jewish Holiday of Purim, an article
published by the Saudi government daily Al-Riyadh, columnist Dr. Umayma
Ahmad Al-Jalahma of King Faysal University in Al-Dammam, wrote that the blood
of the goyim (non-Jew) was used to produce Purim pastry:

Let us now examine how the victims’ blood is spilled. For this, a
needle-studded barrel is used; this is a kind of barrel, about the size
of the human body, with extremely sharp needles set in it on all
sides. [These needles] pierce the victim’s body, from the moment

94
. Al Bukhari Vol. 9:57
95
. New York Times April 6, 2006 page A9

72
he is placed in the barrel. These needles do the job, and the
victim’s blood drips from him very slowly. Thus, the victim suffers
dreadful torment – torment that affords the Jewish vampires great
delight as they carefully monitor every detail of the blood-shedding
with pleasure and love that are difficult to comprehend. After this
barbaric display, the Jews take the spilled blood, in the bottle set in
the bottom [of the needle-studded barrel], and the Jewish cleric
makes his co-religionists completely happy on their holiday when
he serves them the pastries in which human blood is mixed. 96

Do Islamists honestly believe that Jews perform ritual murder? Some of


the rank and file might but the leadership? Of course we do not. This is merely a
function of the propaganda arm of the generic International Islamic Jihad. We are
at war with the worldwide Jewish community, and are justified in bearing false
witness against them, since Mohammed himself said: “War is deception.” Not
only are we justified in bearing false witness but in some circumstances it is
permissible to drink the blood of the Jew - in the late 1980’s, on the steps of a
Cairo government building, the Palestinian assassin of the Foreign Minister of
Jordan, began to drink the blood of this American puppet. 97

Hitler used the blood-libel myth as justification for the holocaust and it
worked well. The Nazi periodical, Der Stürmer, often published special issues
devoted to allegations of ritual murder by Jews. Hitler had asked that a film be
made of an 1840 Damascus case, in which an elderly Italian monk-priest, Padre
Tommaso, disappeared after having visited the Jewish quarter in the city. Twelve
Jewish leaders were arrested and tortured. Four died from the mistreatment;
most of the rest confessed involvement in a ritual murder. Unfortunately, World
War II ended before this film could be made.

If the blood libel were true it would be the Orthodox who would carry out
this ritual. Drinking blood is not one of the Torah’s 613 commandments. We have
been assured from our allies in the Jewish ultra-orthodox group Naturei Karta
that human flesh is not kosher. If human flesh is not kosher, neither is human
blood. Only the meat and milk of certain animals is permitted. The Torah
identified these animals as having split hooves and ‘chewing their cud’. Actually,
when meat is koshered, all the blood is drained. We know from this that orthodox
Jews do not drink blood, be it animal or human.

7. Not paying Zakat.

In general terms, what remains over and above the meeting of needs and
expenses, and is hoarded for the full span of one year, is liable to Zakat. Zakat is
the right of the poor to the wealth of the rich and is neither optional charity nor
philanthropy. Not paying it is a serious shirk. Jews are stingy. Generosity is an

73
Arab custom and stinginess is a Jewish custom. 98 Islam mandates the
redistribution of wealth but recognizes the fact that there will always be rich and
poor. We humbly hope to lighten the burden of the Muslim underclass. The rising
tide of Islam today is in part a reaction against the failure of Arab socialism that
has destroyed the markets of the Muslim world.

8. Stealing: ‘

A’isha reported Allah’s Messenger [PBUH] as saying: “The


hand of a thief should not be cut off but for a quarter of a dinar
and upwards (second offense: left foot cut off; imprisonment
for further offenses).”99 This is not barbaric for the Old
Testament ordered – “An eye for an eye and a tooth for a
tooth,” however, it is Islam that actually carries this punishment
out – an Islamic court ordered the surgical removal of the left
eye of an Egyptian, Abd al-Muti Abdel Rahman Muhamed, after he was
convicted of throwing acid in the face of another Egyptian, injuring and disfiguring
his left eye. The operation was performed in a hospital in the holy city of Medina.
The Upper Shari'ah of a small town in northern Nigeria ordered that a 45-year-old
man’s leg be amputated as punishment for doing the same to his wife. He cut her
leg off after he accused her of infidelity, after “over exposing” herself to a doctor
to while getting an injection.

Sheik Omar Abdul Rahman commented: “As for implementing Muslim


punishments, they are only performed upon the weak people; beware of
mentioning any individual from the ruling class; the class of hypocrites who are
enchanted by the king and princes and their friends. Those flagrantly ignore the
laws of God.”

In Mauritania a thief is entitled to have his arm anaesthetized before the


amputation after appearing before a tribunal composed of one civil judge and two
military judges. “The accused are not allowed legal representation and are
allowed only a week to appeal to the district chief justice.” In Saudi Arabia there
is no provision for anaesthetization.

In some cases stealing may be permissible. A United States Assistant


Attorney asked Abdel Ghani Meskini:

Q. Did you ever discuss with Mokhtar Haouari whether it's all right
under Muslim beliefs for a person to commit fraud?

A. Yes.

Q. Would you describe that discussion for the jury?

trying to commit bank fraud with 13 names in Flatlands Avenue. I
asked him once, I said, I don't feel right, it's not right using other
people's name and take money, and he said, you know what, you
are supposed to come here, like this country, only thing you
supposed to come here and take from them, it's all right to do it.

Q. And he said something about unbelievers? What was your


understanding of whom he was referring to when he talked about
unbelievers?
A. Anybody who was not Muslim.

Q. Was he talking about people in a particular country in the


context of the conversation that you were having?

A. It would be any country that doesn't believe in Islam.

Q. What did Mokhtar Haouari say to you about committing fraud


where the victims were unbelievers?

A. It was all right to do it, and the only thing that we can do is take
from them, and that's it. We -- you don't have to worry about it.

PROTOCOL 16. THE ENEMIES OF ISLAMIC CULTURE

NO “SHAKIN THAT BOOTY”

Freedom can give an illusion of happiness, but submission to the laws of


Allah is true happiness. Obedience to Allah is incompatible with freedom. Islam is
submission to the will of Allah. It is enough to hand over a people to freedom for
a certain length of time for that people to become corrupted by the varying
degrees of sexual attractiveness of women. From that moment on we get
internecine strife which soon develops into battles between jealous men, in the
midst of which morality burns down and the importance of men is reduced to that
of a heap of ashes. Western women use freedom as an excuse for obscenity in
demeanor and dress. They wear tight jeans, low cut blouses, tank tops, makeup
that causes them to look like prostitutes – for it is written –

And tell the believing women to subdue their eyes, and maintain
their chastity. They shall not reveal any parts of their bodies, except
that which is necessary. They shall cover their chests, (with their
Khimar) and shall not relax this code in the presence of other than
their husbands, their fathers, the fathers of their husbands, their
sons, the sons of their husbands, their brothers, the sons of their
brothers, the sons of their sisters, other women, the male servants
or employees whose sexual drive has been nullified, or the children

75
who have not reached puberty. They shall not strike their feet when
they walk in order to shake and reveal certain details of their
bodies.100

NO “MISS ISLAM” BEAUTY CONTESTS

When the Elders of Islam shall rule, the hijab (curtain), or veil, shall be a
thing of the past. We shall order all women to wear the all-enveloping burqa, 101
this being part of the Eemaan. 102 It shall be worn by all Western Women, so that
only their eyes will be revealed, which shall be downcast, and in this way there
will be no difference between the zeenah, the fair, and the ugly. This is why there
are no beauty contests in Islamic Republics. Beauty queens banded together
ahead of the Miss World pageant in Nigeria in December 2002 to protest this, as
they would all look the same in burkas. This pageant was affront to Islam as it
took place in a country that by all rights would be an Islamic Republic if not for
the presence of the pesky Christian Nigerians. Additionally, fashion writer Isioma
Daniel, who studied journalism and politics for three years at the University of
Central Lancashire, United Kingdom, wrote: “As the idea (of the beauty pageant)
became a reality, it also aroused dissent from many groups of people. The
Muslims thought it was immoral to bring 92 women to Nigeria and ask them to
revel in vanity. What would Mohammed think? In all honesty, he would probably
have chosen a wife from one of them. The irony is that Algeria, an Islamic
country, is one of the countries participating in the contest.” This article set off
rioting during which many believers and unbelievers were killed, and
foreshadowed the future of Nigeria where 50 million Christians and 65 million
Muslims uneasily co-exist. Like Salman Rushdie, the blood of Isioma Daniel can
be shed. It is binding on all Muslims, wherever they are, to consider the killing of
the writer as a religious duty. Isioma Daniel has committed a blasphemy against
our noble prophet. Therefore, any Muslim who finds her should behead her for
the sake of Allah. Daniel fled Nigeria for the United States and is now living in
Norway.

Other women are making up for Isioma Daniel’s blasphemy. In a 2003


fatwa Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawai the (Egyptian) Dean of Islamic Studies at the
University of Qatar, declared that “women’s participation in martyrdom
operations...is one of the most praised acts of worship,” and that furthermore,
blowing themselves to bits entitles women “to the same reward earned by their
male counterparts.” Even further, should a woman feel the call to strap on 50
kilos of TNT, the importance of this call “reaches the extent that a woman could
go out for Jihad even without the permission of her husband.” And, most
importantly “concerning the issue of the hijab (veil)” a woman may, if necessary,
“even take off her hijab in order to carry out the operation. I don’t see any
problem in taking off the hijab in this case.”

76
On March 29, 2002 an 18-year-old Palestinian woman blew up herself and
two other people in a Jerusalem supermarket, the second Palestinian woman to
become a suicide bomber.103 In October 2003 Hanadi Jaradat a 29-year-old
female apprentice lawyer told her sister that if she hears of an attack in Israel,
she should pass out candies to celebrate, and that it would be in revenge for the
killing by Israeli forces of her brother in Palestinian Islamic Jihad and her
cousin/fiancée. Sister Hanadi’s father lost his job in Haifa after the Zionists
closed the borders due to our activities and he was unable to go to Rambam
Hospital for treatment of his liver disease, as he would have ordinarily done. 104 A
few days later Hanadi Jaradat shot a guard at a popular Haifa restaurant then
detonated a bomb that had been strapped to her by the Brothers of Palestinian
Islamic Jihad. Nineteen were killed including four Christian Arabs. 105 Women can
also atone for the sin of adultery by becoming suicide bombers. After Reem
Salah Riashi killed four Israelis at a checkpoint her family refused to speak with
reporters or set up a mourning tent for her. Although Riashi said, “It was always
my wish to turn my body into deadly shrapnel against the Zionists and to knock
on the doors of heaven with the skulls of Zionists,” she had carried out this action
to preserve her family’s honor.106

No matter how women distinguish themselves as jihadi the Qu’ran


understands that men are more valuable than women: “When news is brought to
one of them of (the birth) of a female (child), his face darkens, and he is filled
with inner grief. With shame does he hide himself from his people, because of
the bad news he has had? Shall he retain it on sufferance and contempt, or bury
it in the dust?”107 Islamists admit it’s a toss up but unlike the Hindus, we must not
kill her. This is why Islamists severely criticize women’s participation in public life.
Since the 1980’s, Islamist preachers have singled out the behavior of women as
being responsible for the disintegration of society. The Learned Elders of Islam
stress women’s essentially natural and God-given domesticity. We glorify her
status in Islam and predict a certain, terrible fate for the Muslim world if women
desert or they are lured away from their traditional place in society. To us, the so-
called liberation of women is one characteristic that shows that Muslims have
strayed from the teachings of Islam. Women’s emancipation is a deviation
borrowed from the materialist West where its features are adultery, illegitimate
children, and women so hardened by professional competitiveness that their
reproductive organs have gone into a state of recession where they are unable to
conceive. The Taliban denied women medical care and schooling. Now the
remnants of this once powerful group are targeting Afghanistan’s Ulema-u-Shura,
the Council of Islamic clerics, who have capitulated to the kuffar occupiers, and
allow women these forbidden rights.

Of course in public Islamists proclaim that all of Allah’s laws are blind to
gender but it must be recognized that there are differences between the sexes.
The standards of morality for men and women differ just as the bodies of men
and women differ. For a man to be convicted of adultery under Islamic law, he
must either confess to the judge in an Islamic court, or else four Muslims must
have witnessed the actual act. It is much easier to convict a woman of the same
offense - a Nigerian Islamic court sentenced a woman to death by stoning for the
crime of adultery. Safiya Husaini was not married, but as a divorcee, she was, of
course, still considered to have committed adultery, and not the lesser crime of
fornication that applies only to women who have never been married, and carries
the lenient punishment of about 100 lashes. A judge ruled that because the act
had taken place before Shari'ah was introduced, her case should be dismissed.

In August 2002 an Islamic high court in northern Nigeria rejected an


appeal from a single mother sentenced to be stoned to death for having had sex
out of wedlock. The man she accused of fathering her child was not charged, as
there were no witnesses to the act. No DNA test was performed, as there is no
reference to such a test in the Qu’ran. As a result Amina Lawal, 30, was to be
stoned to death sometime in 2004, once her baby was weaned. She appealed
the judgment and the Katsina State Shari'ah Court of Appeals overturned her
conviction in September 2003 on the basis of the sleeping embryo theory of
Islamic science wherein an embryo can be in gestation for up to five years,
meaning that Ms. Lawal's baby could have been fathered by her former
husband.108

The best deterrent is the death sentence, for people to see what happens
to an adulterer. Most of the time it is the woman who is stoned to death due to
Shari'ah. They wouldn’t want it to happen to them, they would not want a starring
role in a snuff film. So it definitely is a deterrent. By ridiculing our religion and
preventing us from employing stoning as a punishment, the West is helping to
spread AIDS in countries like Nigeria, where 3.5 million people are already
infected. In the predominantly Muslim countries of northern Africa, AIDS is seen
as a divine punishment for the adultery of sinners and the infection rates are
much lower than in sub-Saharan Africa. People need the stern laws of God, not
the laws of man, to guide them. May He give you many sons to pray for you and
remember your name.

PROSTITUTION IN IRAN

Prostitution must be stamped out in the Islamic Republic of Iran and the
application of Shari'ah is the only answer. On August 10, 1994, in the city of
Arak, a woman was sentenced to death by stoning for prostitution. According to
the ruling of the religious judge, her husband and two children were forced to
attend the execution. The woman urged her husband to take the children away,
but to no avail. A truck full of stones was brought in for use during the stoning. In

78
the middle of the stoning, although her eyes had been gouged out, the prisoner
was able to escape from the ditch and started running away, but the regime’s
guards recaptured her and shot her to death. In October 1989 in the city of Qom,
a woman who was being stoned managed to pull herself out of the hole, only to
be forced back into it and stoned to death. In justifying the execution, Qom’s
Chief Religious Judge, Mullah Karimi, elaborated: “Generally speaking, legal and
religious decrees on someone condemned to stoning call for her stoning if her
guilt was proven on the basis of witnesses’ testimonies. Even if she were to
escape in the middle of the administration of the sentence, she must be returned
and stoned to death.” 109 On June 24, 2001 a woman was stoned to death in
Tehran’s Evin prison for appearing in obscene films. Despite the secular nature
of Iraq under the rule of Saddam Hussein, the Fedayeen beheaded prostitutes
and it is only since the American occupation that this decadence has resurfaced.

Before the Islamic revolution of 1979, prostitutes were only allowed in


certain neighborhoods such as the Shahr-e-no area of Tehran. But the Islamists
demolished the area. There are still 300,000 prostitutes in Tehran and some
religious leaders wish to open brothels to get them off the streets. Ayatollah
Muhammad Moussavi Bojnourdi: “I would not have supported chastity houses
had it not been for the urgency of the situation in our society. If we want to be
realistic and clear the city of such women, we must use the path that Islam offers
us.” The judiciary and religious leaders would administer the brothels. 110

Some Iranian “feminists” regard mut’a 111 a form of temporary marriage


practiced by Shi’ites where the woman has few rights, as akin to prostitution.
Under mut’a, it is possible to be ‘married’ for as little as half an hour. Women who
participate in mut’a are called musta’jara, or ‘rented woman’. Mut’a is considered
a kind of ‘rental’ because a man’s basic aim in this kind of marriage is the sexual
enjoyment of a woman, and in return for his enjoyment the woman receives a
certain amount of money or property. 112 The persons who make the declaration
and acceptance must be worthy of the contract of mut’a. This means that those
who conclude the contract must be the man and woman themselves, or they’re
representatives, or their fathers. It is permissible for the father to say: “I give my
daughter in mut’a with her agreement.” If the man has a free, permanent wife, he
cannot contract a mut’a without his wife’s permission. If the musta’jara becomes
pregnant the child belongs to the husband, even if he performed coitus
interruptus. The couple can engage in any activities that they like, in any manner
and in any position. Allah rewards such activities as surely as he punishes sinful
activities. The Qu’ran says, “Women are your fields. Go then into your fields as
you please.”113 The only prohibitions in Islam are vaginal intercourse during
menstruation and anal intercourse. Oral sex should not lead to any naajis
(impure) substance being swallowed otherwise “anything goes” as long as its
done within the confines of one’s home. An anti-Public lewdness and

THE ANTITHESIS OF ISLAM: THE COUNTERCULTURE

Obscenity, immodesty and revelry are rampant these days. Young boys
and girls have taken to blind imitation of people of other religions such as Zen
Buddhism and cultures such as hip-hop and rap. They drown themselves in the
flood of licentious behavior and obscenity and live merrily, as if they were in a
video on MTV. They believe it to be a sign of progress to dance, to play music
and to blindly ape others. To their eyes the free mixing of sexes is modernism.
Their main occupation is living aimlessly like hippies.

MUSIC: WHISTLE AND YOU SHERK

An early sign of hippyism is attraction to music. Music is a useless activity


that puts one in a state of total passiveness. Such inactivity did not escape the
attention of our religion. The benefit and pleasure taken from music involves a
meaning of deep slavery in passion. Since Islam is the sworn enemy of
passiveness and slavery in passion, there can be no music other than that which
sings and extols the virtues of Allah. This was apparent to others: The Nazis
realized that a deep-rooted understanding of the Jew and his culture underlay the
forms of jazz and swing. Swing was a component of modernism, the refuse of a
rotting society. Jazz was used by the Jews to corrupt the Aryan race through
musical race defilement. Jazz and swing were immediately banned when Hitler
took power in 1933.

Let those who refuse to obey Him beware lest calamity strike them,
or a painful torment. The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him
peace) said: “Allah the Mighty and Majestic sent me as a guidance
and mercy to believers and commanded me to do away with
musical instruments, flutes, strings, crucifixes, and the affairs of the
pre-Islamic period of ignorance…On the Day of Resurrection, Allah
will pour molten lead into the ears of whoever sits listening to a
songstress…Song makes hypocrisy grow in the heart as water
does herbage…This Ummah will experience the swallowing up of
some people by the earth, metamorphosis of some into animals,
and being rained upon with stones.” Someone asked, “When will
this be, O Messenger of Allah?” and he said, “When songstresses
and musical instruments appear and wine is held to be lawful…
There will be peoples of my Ummah who will hold fornication, silk,
wine, and musical instruments to be lawful.

80
In plain Aramaic, never! All of this is explicit and compelling textual
evidence that musical instruments of all types are unlawful. 114 In a 1996 interview
with the journal Sobh Ayatollah Khamenei wrote that children should not be
allowed to play music. ''Teaching music is not in accordance with the Islamic
establishment, and teaching music to schoolchildren brings corruption,'' he said.
The partially blinded Mullah Muhammad Omar followed these mandates and
banned all non-religious music in Afghanistan. Omar never appeared in public.
Most Afghans had no idea what he looked like because of an edict issued by him
that banned photographing humans.

Mullah Omar left Kandahar in December 2001. In January 2007 Mullah


Omar said that he had not seen or tried to contact Usama the Elder. ''We have
never felt the need for a permanent relationship in the present circumstances.
But they have set Jihad as their goal, whereas we have set the expulsion of
American troops from Afghanistan as our target. This is the common goal of all
the Muslims. Foreign troops should leave Afghanistan and then the institutions
they have created should be dismantled. Unless that happens, the war will heat
up further. It will not decrease. The people themselves have risen up to fight the
Americans. Nobody can tolerate this kind of subjugation and sacrilege of their
culture and religion. It would be humiliating for anybody to think that the nation
does not want to evict American forces. No nation can accept the dictates of a
handful of dollar-greedy and treacherous people. We could have formed a real
government had we achieved full and total control over the whole country, and
we did manage to run the government in an organized manner with the blessing
of Shariah and divine laws. But if there were problems, those were largely
because of the conspiracies of the infidels and foreign enemies, for instance, the
impositions of sanctions on Taliban, organizing anti-Taliban forces and preparing
them to fight the mujahedeen.” This was a reference to the Northern Alliance. 115

In Taliban led Afghanistan the Ministry of the Promotion of Virtue and


Prevention of Vice arrested musicians, burned instruments, shredded tapes,
smashed VCRs, and banned both public and private performances. Cruising
Afghanistan’s main cities in pickups with dark windows, the Ministry of the
Promotion of Virtue police patrolled streets and homes looking for offending
citizens. They arrested anyone listening to music but were most concerned about
rock music as it has ungodly themes of rebellion, drugs, sex, and demons. It’s
musicians set an un-Islamic lifestyle example of deep sin. It was no accident that
two female Chechnyan Shaheeds bombed a rock concert in Moscow in July
2003.116

“The Jews seem neither to respect God nor his Creation. Their own holy books
contain the curse of God brought upon them by their prophets on account of their
disobedience to Him and mischief in the earth. We have seen the disrespect for
religion displayed by those who consider themselves to be God's Chosen
People." – Cat Stevens

The rock music of Muslim convert Yussef Islam,


formerly popular singer Cat Stevens, is an exception to this
rule, and his music will not be banned, because Yussef is
an Islamist: On January 13, 2005 Yussef Islam was denied
entry to the United States because of money he had given
to terrorist linked groups, a U.S. official said. "If you
contribute to terrorist organizations, I'm sorry, but you're not welcome in the
United States... And that's what happened to Cat Stevens," said Robert Bonner,
customs and border protection commissioner. The Zionist media reported, “News
reports several years ago linked a Web site and charitable foundation he heads
to the Palestinian militant group Hamas, and to the "Blind Sheikh" -- Sheik Omar
Abdul Rahman, convicted of involvement in a terrorist plot in New York city a
decade ago.”117 Islam considered doing a benefit concert for Sheik Omar Abdul
Rahman – SheikAid – and was going to visit his Eminence in prison. The Iman
Mohammed Bakri stated that Cat Stevens had been an intimate of Omar Abdel-
Rahman on the Arab Street. When Rahman would visit Britain, "Yusuf Islam used
to sit near to him and ask him whatever he want [sic]." Bakri also stated that Cat
Stevens helped support Abdel Rahman's family financially. He also claims that
Yusuf Islam knowingly sent money to the families of "the mujahideen" in Egypt. 118

83
Yousry: He collects money for Chechnya…

ABDEL RAHMAN: Uhm. [Pause] Okay?

Yousry: Yes, sir.

Yussef Islam has worked as a courier and the Zionist entity suspected that
he delivered money to Hamas when he visited Israel in 1988. As a result, when
he tried to return in 1990 Islam’s name appeared on a list of people banned from
entering the settler state. “I never knowingly gave any terrorist group money. I’ve
given to poor people and hospitals. I’ve helped to buy ambulances in the Holy
Land,” he insisted to the press, “I have no affiliation with any organization such
as Hamas.” Islam has directed that half of the proceeds from the sale of the box
set of his collected works will go to the September 11 th Relief Fund. If this was
simply talk remains to be seen. El-Sayyid Nosair was a fan of Yusef Islam and
had his audiotapes Jihad and Islam and My Life. Yussef has taped lectures with
Bilal Phillips. Soon Bono will convert to Islam – he already has spoken up for
Taliban Brother David Hicks, now being held at Gitmo: “We're calling for David
Hicks to be brought back to Australia to face fair trial here.” What about the other
prisoners who are not converts to Islam but are Arabs and born Muslims? Should
not they be returned to their native lands? Should they be left to rot because they
are not white like Bono and Hicks? America’s answer to Bono came in February
2007 when Hicks was charged with providing material support to jihadi however
this “crime” occurred before the anti-jihadi law was passed. 119

RUSHDIE TO JUDGMENT

On February 14, 1989, Ayatollah Khomeini issued this fatwa in regard to


Salman Rushdie, author of the blasphemous Satanic Verses: “I inform proud
Muslims all over the world, that the author of the book The Satanic Verses, which
is inclined against Islam the Prophet [PBUH] and the Qu’ran and everybody
connected knowingly with the book’s publication is hereby condemned to death. I
challenge all Muslims to execute these persons wherever they may be found.” In
February 2004 Iran’s Revolutionary Guard confirmed that the fatwa was still in
effect since it was irrevocable.120 Yussef Islam supported Khomeini’s edict and
publicly announced: “If someone defames the prophet, then he must die.” 121 The
Rushdie fatwa was not an empty threat. We had already struck in the heart of
America. After Captain Will Rogers III shot down an Iranian passenger plane,
agents of Islam planted a bomb under his van on March 10, 1988. Not only was
Roger’s wife almost killed, she lost her job as a teacher by school officials who
feared for the safety of the children. Federal investigators, in denial as was their
custom, believed someone with a grudge against Captain Rogers, not a revenge-
minded Islamist, might have bombed the van his wife drove. 122 Three weeks later

the Iman and his aide of the Brussels Mosque were killed for coming to the
defense of Rushdie on Belgian television. 123 After these actions Rushdie
embraced Islam and refused to authorize a paperback edition of the Satanic
Verses.

The Rushdie affair was not an isolated incident, not the only time that the
publication of a book caused rioting: The Egyptian newspaper Al-Sha’b’s attacks
against the book Banquet for Seaweed by Syrian author Haidar Haidar triggered
student riots at Al-Azhar University. The People, newspaper of the Islamist
“Labor Party,” joined the campaign with a rabid, sermon-like front-page article
headlined “Who Pledges to Die with Me?” Pointing to a phrase in the book that
followed the word “Qur`an” by “sh-t,” it pronounced Haidar “sinful, obscene,
lewd,” called on Muslims to rise in defense of their faith and demanded the
Minister of Culture’s head along with the heads of those responsible for having
published the novel.124

Brother Yousry read this communiqué from Al-Gama’a al-Islamiyya leader


Rifa’i Ahmad Taha dated May 14, 2000 to Sheik Omar Abdul Rahman on May
19, 2000:

As we confirm our support for the Al-Azhar students, and its


scholars in their stand against the attempts to change the face of
our Muslim Egypt and rip out its beliefs and (UI), we emphasize our
call on Al-Azhar scholars and students to regain their dignity and
leadership status in the nation. This will not be accomplished
unless they exercise their right to choose their leadership. The
scholars and students of Al-Azhar are the ones to count on when
selecting presidents and emirs. It is a crime, it’s oppression, it’s
tyranny, to have soldiers impose leaders and sheikhs. The Egyptian
regime wanted to rip out Al-Azhar’s message, and role to change,
when it appointed as its head a sheikh who receives a Jewish rabbi
and a Zionist ambassador, whose hands are covered with the blood
of our martyrs in Palestine and whose filthy feet desecrate Islamist
Palestine. We are sure that Al-Azhar with its haughtiness, history,
leading revolutions, bringing forth Sulayman Al-Halabi, its Jihad
against the French and British kuffar who occupied our Egyptian
Muslim lands and others, is able to re-assume its role and regain
the mission God assigned to the scholars, the descendants of
prophets. On this occasion, we call on our Muslim youths of Egypt
in universities, institutes, and factories, to follow the example of
their Azhar colleagues and break the bonds and ties imposed on
them. May their word be loudly heard to achieve victory on behalf of
God and His Prophet [PBUH], victory on behalf of the wounded
people, victory on behalf of the youths they hang, the youths who
died while defending religion and confronting criminals. (UI) It is not

unusual to sentence Mujahid Sha’baan Hiraidi (PH) of the Al-
Gama’a al-Islamiyya to death (UI) and to have the sentence
endorsed by the Mufti of Al-Azhar, the government man, after they
barred Al-Azhar sheikhs and scholars who call for the word of truth.
[Nodding] Truth. [Reading] Truth. We call on the Muslim youths of
Egypt not to get discouraged by the haughtiness of tyrants,
arrogance of aggressors or (UI). [Brief pause] You would think that
all this scum is something, but it soon gets washed out by roaring
waves, i.e., our youths’ strong faith in God, and their holding on to
the truth they believe in. In the name of God, Most Merciful, Most
Compassionate. [Continues reading] “For the scum disappears like
froth cast out; while that which is for the good of mankind remains.”
His Majesty God is truthful. A nation whose scholars interact with its
future causes is a strong one; one that is capable of assuming its
leading role among nations.

This author who started the incidents and provoked people’s


feelings is but a sign of sickness of the nation’s body as they
rendered it helpless, (UI) the laity and atheists. It became a must
for Muslim scholars to take the lead. (UI) added to atheists are (UI)
thinkers, writers, and authors to the point that we got so many of
them like Faraj Foda and others. Since they bar our religion and
impose on us a different identity, we won’t be (UI). Haidar, Haidar
will not be the last one, the same as Faraj Foda was not the first.
We are sure that the revolution of our Muslim youth will one day
uproot the Egyptian regime which barred religion… We are sure
that the revolution of our Muslim youths will one day uproot the
Egyptian regime because it barred religion, detained the most
sincere, and promoted perverts like his Minister of Culture, who
endorsed the decision of the so-called “Nobel Review Committee”
disregarding the opinion of the conscientious People’s Council
members. We are sure that they have no future on our land and
that they will not be accepted by the sons of our Muslim people.
God will complete His light even though the unbelievers may
detest. God hath full power and control over His affairs; but most
among mankind know it not. [pause]

Yousry: Lynne says this is great. Okay, Sir. [Reading] “The Final
Result of Al-Azhar Massacre of 2000.” Would you like to know the
final result of Al-Azhar massacre? You may be able to recall the Al-
Azhar incidents of the 18th Century, when the French soldiers’
horses broke into it; they trampled on the defenseless worshipers
and on the Qu’ran and killed the people prostrated in prayer. The
pure blood was shed in Al-Aqsa nave and on sheets of paper. At
the pillars where students were having their lessons, body parts
scattered around with the Qu’ran in hands. Yes, the same thing

86
happened again, yes, its bloody scenes recurred in Al-Azhar
University. But this time, there is no Bonaparte nor Kleber. There
are soldiers, (UI) Israeli men who don’t consider sacred religious
law, education, respect for Muslim sisters, nor innocent students.
Their rubber bullets went through bodies and eyes. May God be
your resort, you honorable sisters and heroes of Al-Azhar. You
offered your bodies, (UI) and eyes to protect our sanctities at the
time teenagers were absorbed in ethical problems, debauchery and
homosexuality. The Israeli (UI) assumed the role of the Minister of
Culture (UI) agent of the West. Egypt was suffering under a savage
rule which abused, imprisoned, detained, desecrated and killed
without trial. You, males and females, came at the right difficult time
when (UI) alleged peace; when the worst oppressive campaign to
bar the nation’s religion, change its (UI) God’s sake and defile its
sanctities. God was cursed, the Qu’ran was defiled, and the
Prophet [PBUH] was called names openly, in the name of art! Dear
Messenger of God, how can we apologize to you? One day, you
came for us, transcending all barriers of (UI). Among the tribal
shepherds you evoked a wisdom-bearing nation, a nation (UI)
paganism to the width of monotheism and freedom, as the late
martyr Sayid Qu’tub said. How come the lowly people of the nation
try to annihilate its brains, history and sanctities? You came for us,
for us, beloved Messenger of God...

Stewart: What was the thing that sparked the students, again?

Yousry: There was eh, a novel by a writer, a Syrian writer, Haidar,


Haydar.

Stewart: Oh, yes, I do remember (UI).

We must not forget the case of the Egyptian Naguib Mahfouz, a Nobel
Prize winning author who was stabbed in the neck by one of our Brothers after
his book, Children of Gebelawi, which blasphemed the Prophet [PBUH], was re-
issued. Sheik Omar Abdul Rahman issued a fatwa in 1989 calling him a heretic,
“Islamic law calls on these people to repent and if they do not they will be killed. If
this sentence had been passed on Naguib Mahfouz when he wrote Children of
Gebelawi Salman Rushdie would have realized that he had to stay within certain
bounds.”125

choke what the Occident has of greater value that does not exist in
any Moslem country: freedom to think and to express oneself. Islam
tries to impose its rules on Europe: opening of swimming pools at
certain hours exclusively with the women, prohibition to caricature
this religion, requirement of a particular diet of the Moslem children
in the school cafeterias, struggle for the wearing of the veil at the
school, charges of Islamophobia against the free spirits. How does
one explain the prohibition of the string bikini at Paris-Beaches, this
summer? The argument advanced was strange: risk “disarray with
law and order.” Did that mean that bands of frustrated young
people were likely to become violent ones with a display of beauty?
Or did one fear Islamist demonstrations, via the Brigades of Virtue,
with access to Paris-Beaches? However, the lack of prohibition of
the wearing of the veil in the street is, because of trouble that this
support for oppression against the women causes, is more likely “to
disturb law and order” than the string bikini? Is not one moved to
think that this prohibition represents an Islamization of the spirits
into France, a tender more or less conscious agreement with the
dictates of Islam or, at the very least, that it results from the
insidious Moslem pressure on the state of mind. Islamization of
thought: Those who protested against the inauguration of a Jean-
Paul-II Square in Paris do not oppose to construction mosques.
Islam tries to force Europe to yield to its vision of the man. As was
formerly with Communism, the Occident is found under ideological
monitoring. Islam arises, with the image of late Communism, like an
alternative to the Western world. Like the Communism of old, Islam,
to conquer the spirits, play on a sensitive cord. It is prides itself on a
legitimacy that disturbs the Western conscience, caring about
others: to be the voice of the poor of planet. Yesterday, the voice of
the poor claimed to come from Moscow, today it would come of
Mecca! Today again, of the intellectuals who are incarnate of this
belief of Qu’ran, as they incarnated the belief of Moscow yesterday.
They advocate excommunication for Islamophobia, like yesterday
for anticommunist. With identical passion of Communism, Islam
holds generosity, the broadmindedness, the tolerance, softness,
the freedom of the woman and manners, the democratic values,
are marks of decline. These are weaknesses that he wants to
exploit with the means of useful idiots, that good consciences
imbues with finer feelings, in order to impose the Qur’anic order on
the Western world itself. The Qu’ran is a book of amazing violence.
Maxime Rodinson in the Universal Encyclopedia, states, some
important truths that are taboo in France. On the one hand,
Muhammad reflected the unsuspected qualities of a political leader
and of a military chief (...) He resorted to private war, the current
institution in Arabia (...) Muhammad sent small groups of partisans
to attack the caravans mekkoises, thus punishing unbelievers and

88
at the same time acquiring the rich person spoils. In addition,
Muhammad benefited from this success to eliminate from Medina,
by making a massacre, the last Jewish tribe that remained there,
Qurayza, because it showed suspect behavior. Lastly, after the
death of Khadijah, he married a widow, a good domestic, Sawda,
and also a child Aisha, who was only ten years old. His erotic
inclinations, contained a long time, were to make him contract ten
marriages jointly. Exaltation of violence: chief of war pitiless,
plundering, massacre of Jews and the polygamous, such appears
Mahomet through Qu’ran. In fact, the Catholic Church is not free
from reproaches. Its history is strewn with black pages, on which it
made repentance. The Inquisition, hunting for the witches, the
execution of the philosophers Bruno and Vanini, these badly-
thinking epicureans, that, in full XVIIIe century, of the knight of the
Bar for impiety do not plead in its favor. But what differentiates
Christianity from Islam appears: it is always possible to turn over
the evangelic values, the soft person of Jesus against the currents
of the Church. None the faults of the Church finds its roots in the
Gospel. Jesus is non-violent. The return to Jesus is recourse
against excesses of the institution connected with the church. The
recourse to Mahomet, on the contrary, reinforces hatred and
violence. Jesus is a Master of love, Mahomet a Master of hatred.
The stoning of Satan, each year in Mecca, is not only one
superstitious phenomenon. It does not only exhibit a panorama of a
hysterical crowd flirting with cruelty. Its range is anthropological.
Here is indeed a rite, to which each Moslem is invited to subject
itself, registering violence like a duty crowned in the middle of
believing. This lapidation, being accompanied annually of death by
trampling by some faithful, sometimes several hundreds, is a ritual
that broods antiquated violence. Instead of eliminating this
antiquated violence, with the imitation of the Judaism and
Christianity, by neutralizing it (the Judaism starts with the refusal of
the human sacrifice, i.e. the entry in civilization, Christianity
transforms the sacrifice into Eucharist), Islam makes a nest to him,
where it will grow with the heat. When the Judaism and Christianity
are religions whose rites entreat violence and denigrates it, Islam is
a religion that, in its text crowned even, as much as some of its
banal rites, exalts violence and hatred. Hatred and violence live in
the book by which any Moslem is educated, the Qu’ran. As in the
times of the cold war, violence and intimidation are the ways used
by an ideology with hegemonic ambition, Islam, to pose its lead
cover on the world. 126

There is no question that this man must die.

NO MALES WITH PONY TAILS

“We are cutting hair that hangs over the


forehead because when you pray it gets in the way of
your forehead touching the ground; the devil stands
between you and God,” said Maulawi Abdul Rashid
Darkasti of the Taliban’s religious police. A newspaper
correspondent from the Saudi government daily Al-
Watan was arrested by the Authority for the Promotion
of Virtue and Prevention of Vices and taken to its
Riyadh office. Inspector Abu Abd Al-‘Aziz asked the prisoner to remove his
Kaffiyeh, and after he had done so, told him, “Your hair is long and we want to
cut it... Such long hair is proper only for the third sex [i.e. homosexuals].” The
correspondent refused to allow his hair to be cut, but the investigator threatened
to cut his hair by force. A barber then entered and cut the correspondent's hair.

DANCING IS FORBIDDEN

Sheik Mitwalli al-Sha`arawi stated that, “all female dancing is bad.” 127 The
Learned Elders of Islam agree, however, there are some exceptions. When
thousands of kuffar were killed it was permissible for women to dance and men
to observe the dancing. In Nablus, Beirut, and eastern Occupied Jerusalem
thousands of believers celebrated the September 11 th Manhattan / Arlington
Raids, by dancing and chanting “Allahu Akbar” and distributing candy to
passersbys, even as their leader, Yassir Arafat, pretended he was horrified. In
December 2002 Arafat the Elder said: “I believe that the founder of al-Qaeda has
adopted the Palestinian campaign in a cynical ploy to gain support in the Islamic
world. I’m telling bin Laden directly not to hide behind the Palestinian cause. Bin
Laden never helped us. He was working in another completely different area and
against our interests. These kids in Gaza don’t really know who bin Laden is.”
This was merely a ploy to confuse his enemies: In April 2002, the Israeli troops
who invaded his Ramallah offices found documents that revealed that as far back
as 1995, the Palestinian leader and the heads of his security agencies were in
continuous communication with senior al-Qaeda officers through go-betweens in
Bosnia. Abu Abbas made an almost identical statement. 128

DRUGS AND ALCOHOL

“You are a nation that permits the production, trading and usage of
intoxicants. You also permit drugs, and only forbid the trade of them, even
though your nation is the largest consumer of them.” - Dr. Ayman Zawahiri

Behold the alcoholic animals, bemused with drink, the right to an


immoderate use of which comes along with freedom. It is not for us and ours to
walk that road. The peoples of the West are bemused with alcoholic liquor; their

youth has grown stupid on whiskey and these same youth grow up to be the
intelligence agents of the West. This degeneracy is so universally accepted that
America was willing to go to war on the word of an alcoholic, the Iraqi National
Congress puppet, Curveball:

[The] traffic in the CIA’s Directorate of Operations began to


suggest some possible problems with Curveball. The first CIA
concerns about Curveball’s reliability arose within the Directorate of
Operations in May 2000, when a Department of Defense detailee
assigned to the Directorate of Operations met Curveball. The
purpose of the meeting was to evaluate Curveball’s claim that he
had been present during a BW accident that killed several of his
coworkers by seeing whether Curveball had been exposed to, or
vaccinated against, a BW agent. Although the evaluation was
ultimately inconclusive, the detailee raised several concerns about
Curveball based on their interaction. First, the detailee observed
that Curveball spoke excellent English during their meeting. This
was significant to the detailee because the foreign service had, on
several earlier occasions, told U.S. intelligence officials that one
reason a meeting with Curveball was impossible was that Curveball
did not speak English. Second, the detailee was concerned by
Curveball’s apparent “hangover” during their meeting. The detailee
conveyed these impressions of Curveball informally to CIA officials,
and WINPAC BW analysts told Commission staff that they were
aware that the detailee was concerned that Curveball might be an
alcoholic. This message was eventually re-conveyed to Directorate
of Operations supervisors via electronic mail on February 4, 2003—
literally on the eve of Secretary Powell’s speech to the United
Nations.”129

In mid-July 2006, a 27-year-old man was sentenced to 40 lashes for


drinking at a beachside stall fainted on the seventh stroke of a rattan cane from a
hooded man in the yard of a mosque in Banda. The caning was televised
nationally, with an announcer reporting that the man would receive the remainder
of his punishment once he had recovered.130 Had Curveball undergone such a
program he would have stayed sober and realized the consequences of his lies.

Not only do we do not drink alcohol, we do not touch it with our hands.
Muslim visitors are to refuse anti-bacterial gel: British hospitals offer dispensers
with anti-bacterial gel outside wards so that visitors can be sure not to bring in
such infections as MRSA and PVL. But the gel contains alcohol, prompting
Muslims to refuse to use the hand cleansers on religious grounds.

This use of alcohol proved to be a gateway to the early use of drugs and
addiction, addiction into which the kuffar have been inducted by our unwitting

Americans and their allies - civilians and military - is an individual duty for every
Muslim who can do it in any country in which it is possible to do it, in order to
liberate the al-Aqsa Mosque from their grip, and in order for their armies to move
out of all the lands of Islam, defeated and unable to threaten any Muslim. 131

Narcotics’ trafficking is permissible only when it helps the Islamist cause.


In November 2002 two Pakistanis Syed Mustajab Shah and Muhammad Abid
Afridi and an American Ilyas Ali were charged with plotting to trade heroin and
hashish for four Stinger antiaircraft missiles. The men are accused of telling FBI
undercover agents in Hong Kong that they were planning to sell the Stingers to
al-Qaeda.132 Two of these men pleaded guilty and agreed to testify against the
third. They admitted in their plea agreement that they conspired to supply
terrorists with four Stinger missiles through the sale of 5 metric tons of hashish
and 600 kilograms of heroin. Ilyas Ali received 57 months, Muhammad Abid
Afridi nearly 60 months.133 Syed Mustajab Shah was supposed to be sentenced
on June 19, 2006 but this hearing appears to have been postponed. In
December 2003 the USS Decatur intercepted nearly two tons of hashish that was
to be sold on the European market. The proceeds of this transaction were to be
used to make up for the loss of some Saudi funds that were no longer being
131
. That was why, when Afghan territory was under Taliban control, it was the largest producer in the world of illicit
opium. The tax that the Taliban imposed on its production helped to finance its holy mission. On December 7, 2000 a
United Nations Security Council Resolution called on all parties in Afghanistan to observe the existing international
conventions to work for the elimination of illicit cultivation of opium poppy. Normally, the Taliban would have ignored this
unenforceable order however Afghanistan faced a serious food crisis as a consequence of severe drought for the second
consecutive year that intensified its economic problems. Mullah Mohammad Omar banned the cultivation of the poppy
plant in July 2000, and in 2001 poppy production fell by 74 tons. Then the United States became the biggest donor to help
Afghanistan in the drought. Secretary of State Colin Powell announced a $43 million grant to Afghanistan in additional
emergency aid to cope with the effects of it. The poppy was eradicated on more than 75,000 hectares, but the opium
stocks were not destroyed. The stocks alone represented three years of production and had a retail value close to four
billion dollars. Before the prohibition, a kilo of Afghan opium was U.S. $44. A few months later, the price jumped to U.S.
$350 to U.S. $400 a kilo. So our Afghani Brothers were able to obtain an additional $43 million from the enemy and
continue to export opium, and collect more tax on it. Now that the American puppet Karzai government rules Afghanistan
it once again leads the world in poppy production. In 2002 it will produce 3,700 tons of opium, a huge increase over the
185 tons produced when Mullah Muhammad Omar issued his edict declaring the practice illegal. The United Nations
Office on Drugs and Crime now claims we are making Jihad in Afghanistan with drug trafficking money, and in some
places forcing farmers to grow opium poppies. In December 2004 Karzai promised to destroy all the fields within two
years. By the year 2006 80% of the cultivatable land was being used for poppy production.

Communists in Afghanistan Brother Mohammad Naser ran a multi-million dollar
heroin ring from his restaurant in Manhattan and sent the money to the
mujahedeen.135

For the Islamists, there is no compromise whatsoever regarding illicit


drugs and alcoholic beverages; they are called “abominations and the work of
Satan.”136 Under Shari'ah the minimum penalty for drinking wine or any other
intoxicant is 80 lashes. The word Islamists use for intoxicants is khamr, from the
root word khamara, which means, to cover. Thus anything that covers or hinders
the mind is prohibited. This includes ecstasy, Special K, marijuana, 137 heroin,
cocaine, alcohol, hashish and anything else that affects the mind. There is no
use of these substances even in a medical context - “They ask you about
intoxicants say, ‘In them there is a gross sin, and some benefits for the people,
(alcohol in medicine for example, cocaine in anesthesia and pain medications).
But their sinfulness far outweighs their benefit.’” Some of our jihadi stationed in
America have succumbed to the temptation of drugs. When police searched the
home of Mohammed Salameh they found “Five glass tubes, metal spoon, white
powder, aluminum foil and plastic bag. Traces of cocaine were identified on the
five glass pipes. The folded aluminum foil contains .94 grams of cocaine. The
additional white powder is baking soda.”

The lying ex-wife of Moharam, Joan Donovan, claimed, “Rahman is the


biggest jerk I ever saw in my whole life. He’s a knucklehead. You tell me Rahman
didn’t have his Johnny Walker and I’ll tell you you’re crazy. I’ve been there. I’ve
been at the Woodbridge apartment where he did his little preaching. I drove him
in the limo and he told me that I’m not a good American. Like you’re a good
Muslim you’re drinking Johnny Walker and you tell me I’m not a good American?
‘If you were in Egypt you would die,’ he said. I said ‘We’re in America and I ain’t
gonna die!’ We didn’t trust each other terribly. Mahmud Abouhalima, he is the
nicest guy in the world, I know this is a horrible thing to say. They wouldn’t let me
say anything. He was not in that van in 1993 he was doing a limousine run with
me. He had a part in it; he deserved to be in jail. But the day it exploded in 1993
he was with me.”

OUR UNWITTING ALLIES: THOSE BEHIND THE WAR ON DRUGS

In 1973, the FBI reported that there were 328,670 arrests for drug law
violations. In 2000, that number rose to 1,579,566. Why? One reason was that in

. In 1994 Colonel Qaddafi stated, “Israel grows marijuana in Palestine and exports large amounts to Arab nations in
order to conquer them with drugs instead of arms. Each soldier using drugs is lost to the cause against the western
enemy, and must be related to as a traitor because he is carrying out the plot of the Zionist enemy.” – Jewish Press
February 25, 1994 – “Libyan Ruler Accuses Israel of Ruining Arabs with Drugs.” The Taliban took a less harsh view:
According to a review of the Taliban penal code by New York Times reporter Amy Waldman, Article 6 of the penal code
specified the following penalty for pot-growing: “A person who cultivates marijuana will be jailed until his family members
get rid of the plant.”

93
1992 Bush the Elder’s U.S. Attorney General William Barr announced that he
was shifting the priorities of approximately three hundred FBI agents to the
nation’s War on Drugs. Barr cited a decrease in tensions with the Soviet Union
and the Eastern Bloc, as the reason for allowing the FBI shift from
counterintelligence to anti-drug work. Between 1992 and 1998 Federal drug
convictions increased from 1,925 to 3,253 per year -- a 69% jump. In 1998 the
FBI adopted a 5-year strategic plan that established the FBI investigative
priorities in a 3-tier system. Tier I priorities were "foreign intelligence, terrorist,
and criminal activities that directly threaten the National or Economic Security of
the United States." Tier II priorities were "crimes that affect the public safety or
undermine the integrity of American society: drugs, organized crime, civil rights,
and public corruption." Tier III priorities were "crimes that affect individuals and
property such as violent crime, car theft, and telemarketing scams…” On another
level, “On March 15, 1999, shortly after Director of Central Intelligence George
Tenet asserted the U.S. Intelligence Community was declaring war on Usama bin
Laden and al Qaeda, FBI Headquarters established national level priorities within
its Counterterrorism Program. Bin Laden and al-Qaeda, along with the bin
Laden-allied Egyptian Islamic Jihad (EIJ) and al-Gama'at al-Islamiyya (IG), were
designated as “priority group one" for the FBI's counterterrorism efforts. 138

But this was not followed: When the Department of Justice studied the
case of Nawaf al-Hazmi and al-Midhar in San Diego the chronology revealed no
appreciable shift in resources by the FBI's San Diego Field Office in response to
these changed priorities. It found that prior to the September 11 th Raids, the
actual investigative priority for the San Diego Field Office was drug trafficking.
According to former San Diego Special Agent in Charge William Gore, the
highest concentration of FBI agents and resources in San Diego was directed at
combating drug trafficking based on the FBI's process and procedures used each
year to set priorities in its field offices. He said that white-collar crime was the
office's second priority, and violent crime was its third priority. Counterterrorism
was only the fourth priority for the San Diego FBI office. The counterterrorism
efforts in San Diego were directed primarily at Hamas and related groups and the
majority of San Diego's counterterrorism investigations targeted activities related
to the indirect support of Jihad conducted by those groups.

It is clear that the major reason al-Qaeda was able to effectuate the
September 11th Raids was because the FBI was busy pursuing the Drug War, not
the so-called War on Terrorism. According to an external review of the FBI, by
2000 there were twice as many agents devoted to drug enforcement matters as
to counterterrorism. On September 11, 2001, only about 1,300 agents, or six
percent of the FBI’s total personnel, worked on counterterrorism. On May 10,
2001, the Department issued guidance for developing the fiscal year 2003
budget that made reducing the incidence of gun violence and reducing the
trafficking of illegal drugs priority objectives. 139 The American Government
reported, “Prior to the terrorist attacks of September 11, national security,
138

94
including counterterrorism, was a top-tier priority for the FBI. However, this top
tier combined national security responsibilities with other issues, and the FBI’s
focus and priorities were not entirely clear. According to a Congressional
Research Service report, the events of September 11 made clear the need to
develop a definitive list of priorities. In June 2002, the FBI’s director announced
10 priorities. The top 3 priorities were to (1) protect the United States from
terrorist attack (counterterrorism), (2) protect the United States against foreign
intelligence operations and espionage (counterintelligence), and (3) protect the
United States against cyber-based attacks and high-technology crimes (cyber
crime). White-collar crime ranked seventh in the priority list and violent crime
ranked eighth. Drug crimes that were not part of transnational or national criminal
organizations were not specifically among the FBI’s top 10 priorities.” 140

Our intelligence operatives in the United States have informed us that


before September 11th the FBI went after even minor violations of drug laws and
obtained numerous convictions. What happened was that al-Qaeda was left to do
the work of Jihad while FBI drug referrals, prosecutions, and convictions shot up.
The FBI followed drug suspects, tracked down fugitives who had been at large
for decades, and ran up many additional agent hours in cases where this sort of
attention was not merited. Instead of relying on investigatory work, the United
States Attorney’s Office and the FBI bureaucrats sat back in their offices, waiting
to hear from their Field Agents that another suspect was willing to give up his
confederates in return for a downward departure from the Minimum Mandatory
Sentences Congress had legislated for drug offenses. The federal secret police
were after seizures of cash and property so that they could point to this should
the Zionist-controlled Congress tie their purse strings any tighter.

The Clinton Administration was happy with the FBI and Justice
Department’s agenda because money-grubbing Jews totally controlled the
Government. After Clinton left the White House it came as no surprise that
Clinton said he wished to study Hebrew and spoke before numerous Jewish
pressure groups. But since he had no principles, he accepted $267,000 for a 40-
minute speech before a group of Saudi businessmen. Yet, according to Ahmed
Rami of Radio Islam Clinton’s Jews 141 far outnumbered the Jews appointed at the

beginning of the Bush Administration since there were no Jews in the President’s
initial cabinet. 142 Now there are two Jews - Homeland Security Secretary Michael
Chertoff and Energy Secretary Samuel Wright Bodman.

The question arises, with so many Jews in the Clinton Administration why
did it pressure the Zionist entity, in 2000, into agreeing to hand back 97% of the
West Bank, partial sovereignty over Jerusalem, the right for Palestinian refugees
to return to the seceded lands and $30 billion in resettlement money? The reason
is because the Jews were willing to bend over backwards to show the world that
they have no dual loyalty, and do not show favoritism to their own people. The
reality of the Zionist Occupation Government must be kept well hidden. Clinton
was unwilling, however, to allow Chairman Arafat to declare a Palestinian State,
even though this agreement would have created one de facto. This was because
Clinton’s wife was running for Senator in the Jew-controlled State of New York,
and she might have lost the election had he done this! A converse question
arises in relation to Bush. Why with so few Jews in the Bush Administration does
his policy so blatantly favor Israel? At first Bush did not appoint any Jews to his
cabinet so that the world could not say they were controlling him, when in reality,
this is precisely the case!

In the year 2000 the federal police were proud that there was more than
$2.7 billion in the federal government’s Asset Forfeiture Fund. This was what
their minds were focused on. For this fixation with drugs and money, the
Americans paid a great price. Economists for the International Monetary Fund
estimated that the September 11th attacks cost the United States $21 billion,
based only on property losses and insurance costs. The Federal Reserve Bank
of the United States estimated the attack cost the city $33 billion to $36 billion in
lost wages and business, property damage and cleanup.

Another factor came into play that worked in our favor: During the Clinton
years the number of FBI intelligence officers almost quintupled, jumping from 224
in 1992 to 1,025 in 1999. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act physical
break-in warrants climbed from 484 in 1992 to 886 in 1999. But these additional
intelligence officers and warrants produced very few court actions. In 1998, for
example, only 45 of the FBI’s 12,730 convictions involved what the department
classified as “internal security” or “terrorism” matters. In 1999 the FBI had more
special agents and support staff than at any time in its entire 90-year history,

more than at the height of the Cold War, yet it was unable to stop us, because it
was concentrating on arresting drug dealers as images of brains frying like eggs
replaced sugarplums and fairies in the minds of the kuffar.

Brent Scowcroft contended that the best FBI agents worked criminal
cases, not counterterrorism cases that were not linked to traditional criminal
work. The criminal vs. intelligence investigation took on a greater and greater
significance and even provided an excuse not to act. For example when the FBI
finally concluded that Khalid al-Midhar was a Brother and a “risk to the national
security of the United States” the Joint Committee on Intelligence reported, “That
communication precipitated a debate between FBI Headquarters and New York
Field Office personnel as to whether to open an intelligence or criminal
investigation on Khalid al-Midhar. A New York FBI agent tried to convince
Headquarters to open a criminal investigation, given the importance of the search
for Khalid al-Midhar and the limited resources available in intelligence
investigations, but Headquarters declined to do so. An e-mail exchange between
Headquarters and the New York agent described the debate, “If al-Midhar is
located the interview must be conducted by an intell agent. A criminal agent CAN
NOT be present at the interview. This case, in its entirety, is based on intell. If at
such a time as information is developed indicating the existence of a substantial
federal crime, that information will be passes over the wall according to proper
procedures and turned over for follow-up criminal investigation.” From the New
York agent, “Whatever has happened to this – someday someone will die – and
wall or not – the public will not understand why we were not more effective and
throwing every resource we had at certain ‘problems.’ Let’s hope the FBI’s
National Security Law Unit will stand behind their decisions [about the ‘wall’]
then, especially since the biggest threat to us now, Usama bin Laden, is getting
the most ‘protection.’”

THE RESULTS OF THE WAR ON DRUGS

The United States points to the Islamic Republics and declares to the
world that our people are not free, that America is the “land of the free.” But
carefully observe the numbers of people imprisoned in Western dominated
countries and compare them to the numbers imprisoned in Iran. U.S. 2.00 million,
China: 1.41 million, Russia: 1.01 million, India: 230,000, Ukraine: 210,000, Brazil:
170,000, South Africa: 140,000, Iran: 100,000. Between 1972 and 2000, the
number of people behind bars in the United States rose from 330,000 to nearly 2
million. Seventy percent of these were non-violent drug offenders. In the latter
year, the number of adults under “correctional supervision” - behind bars, on
parole or on probation - reached 6.47 million, equaling one in every 32 adults. Six
countries - the United States, Yemen, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Iran -
accounted for all the executions of juvenile offenders since 1990. But the United
States accounts for half of these executions. 143 For Muslims, freedom is

submission, for Americans it is imprisonment. Alhumdulallah, and may His divine
wisdom reign eternally!

HOW THE BLOATED PRISON POPULATION WORKS IN OUR FAVOR

As of July 2006, the BOP reported an inmate population of 191,224, an


increase of 70 percent from 1996 when the population was at 112,289. The
number of high-risk inmates who have been identified as needing heightened
security monitoring, such as gang leaders, gang members, so-called international
and domestic terrorists, also has increased over the last 10 years by
approximately 60 percent. As of July 2006, the BOP had identified 19,720 such
inmates. During this same 10-year time period, the number of BOP staff grew at
a more modest rate of 14 percent, from 30,212 to 34,655. Praise God, the BOP
lacks a sufficient intelligence capability to adequately analyze inmate mail, visits,
and telephone conversations to detect jihadist activity. The SIS offices in BOP
institutions have more experience with intelligence gathering to detect and deter
traditional criminal activity than so-called terrorism. The SIS staff have
implemented investigative techniques and established relationships with other
law enforcement agencies that assist SIS staff in gathering and analyzing
information about criminal activity in BOP institutions, such as drug introduction
and gang violence. However, the methods used by SIS staff to analyze
intelligence for traditional criminal activity are not sufficient for detecting our
activity.

NEW FBI POST 9/11 PRIORITIES CAUSE BIG PROBLEMS FOR ISLAMISTS

Between the FBI’s preoccupation with the War on Drugs, and Clinton’s
preoccupation with fornication, we were able to inflict great pain on a civilization
characterized by an advanced, complex and dense infrastructure. The current
situation has made it much more difficult for us to pursue the pillar of Jihad. The
FBI has reorganized. Further, the FBI's intelligence budget has been rationalized,
with an initial realignment of this funding enacted in 2006. Now the FBI focuses
on preventing acts of terrorism and, where prevention fails, responding to and
investigating acts of terrorism; countering foreign intelligence activities and
investigating acts of espionage including economic espionage. The FBI admitted
that drug fighting has taken the biggest hit. The FBI drug budget skyrocketed
76%, from $278 million in 1993 to $489 million in 2001. But the budget for the
War on Drugs in 2002 has plunged 35%, to $320 million, back to 1994 levels. 144
In 2002 21% of the FBI’s resources were devoted to drugs and organized crime
gangs, by 2003 this figure dropped to 14%. In the same period resources
devoted to counter-terrorism rose from 26% to 36%. 145 The FBI has no choice but

98
to redirect experienced narcotics agents to the fight on Islam. It would take years
to train new agents to conduct such sophisticated investigations; rookies typically
track stolen cars across state lines and catch bank robbers, who are the
stupidest of criminals.

In 1999 there were a total of 28,192 FBI employees: 11,646 agents and
16,546 support staff. In September 2002, 900 new agents were hired. The
Counter Terrorism Division was expanded, adding 14 new “sections” and “units”
specializing in trying to forestall the inevitable Islamist world revolution. Five
hundred and eighteen agents were reassigned to counter-Islam operations from
within the agency. Of them, 400 came from the anti-drug crimes division, 59 were
shifted from white-collar crime divisions and another 59 were transferred from the
violent crime-fighting sections. Indeed, the FBI has transferred even more agent
positions than it originally announced and has augmented those agents with the
short-term assignment of additional field agents from drug and other law
enforcement areas to work on counterterrorism. Before leaving office former
United Snakes Attorney General John Ashcroft said American law enforcement
agencies have now created a “most wanted list” of 54 drug organizations that
must be toppled here and abroad, and this is what they will focus on.

After the September 11th victory the number of agents working narcotics
cases dropped 45%, bank fraud cases dropped 31% and bank robbery
investigations dropped 25%. As would be expected, the number of newly opened
drug cases has fallen in relation to the decline in the number of field agent
positions allocated to drug enforcement. None-the-less senior FBI officials
believed that most of the FBI’s 56 field offices still were not shifting from their
focus on solving traditional federal crimes like bank robberies, drug trafficking
and kidnappings, and concentrating on our activities.

The Domestic Security Enhancement Act of 2003 hinted that the law
enforcement and intelligence communities were finally realizing the extent of our
destructive power: “Defendants in federal cases who are accused of certain
crimes are presumptively denied pretrial release. The list of crimes currently
includes drug offenses carrying prison term of ten years or more but it does not
include most terrorism offenses. Thus, persons accused of many drug offenses
are presumptively to be detained before trial, but no comparable presumption
exists for persons accused of most terrorist crimes…Terrorism is at least as
dangerous to the United States' national security as drug offenses.” And at most
it is much more dangerous.

Every major FBI office in the country is monitoring our activities. This
involves 24-hour monitoring of our telephone calls, e-mail messages and Internet
use, as well as scrutiny of our credit-card charges, our travel and our visits to
neighborhood gathering places, including mosques. A new FBI program calls
upon the FBI’s 56 field offices to count the number of mosques and Muslims in
their areas. The information is to be used by the FBI to gauge the number of

99
investigations and FISA warrants – that is establish a quota - that a field office
could reasonably be expected to produce in the area it is assigned to monitor. If
the numbers don’t compute that will trigger an automatic inspection from
headquarters to figure out why they aren’t living up to that so if the Field Office is
unable uncover our activities, they might have to invent some.

CAIR responded: “This is obviously an indication to FBI field agents that


they have to view every mosque and every Muslim as a potential terrorist.”
Jewish Representatives Jerrold Nadler of New York and Senator Russell
Feingold of Wisconsin said in a letter to former Attorney General Ashcroft that the
survey is in reality ethnic and religious profiling and “is just the latest episode in
what seems to be an unconstitutional abuse of power.” These Jews must want to
die.

Under pressure to secure more “terrorism” convictions, the Justice


Department misclassified 46% of its “terrorism” convictions in 2002. The General
Accounting Administration of the United States reported: “The overall accuracy of
the remaining 156 convictions is questionable because, at the time of our review,
under the Government Performance Results Act of 1993, the Executive Office of
U.S. Attorneys had not validated the reliability of the terrorism-related conviction
data for United States Attorney Office districts that reported less than four
domestic or international terrorism-related convictions or convictions involving
terrorism-related hoaxes or terrorist financing. Thus, we have concerns about the
overall accuracy of the Executive Office of U.S. Attorneys conviction statistics to
be included in the Department of Justice’s fiscal year 2002 Annual Performance
Report.” Many hoaxes were reported as attempted terrorist acts. 146

In 2003 Federal and state courts authorized the use of wiretaps and other
electronic surveillance in 1,442 criminal cases 147 while the FBI reported the
number of FISA warrants jumped to more than 1,700. 148 The number of
warrantless taps ordered by President Bush under the Emergency War Powers
Act far exceeded this so no conversation was safe.

homosexuals have been executed by the mutaween 150 in Iran since February
1979 just a drop of scum in the bucket. Just ten public executions of
homosexuals were performed in Afghanistan by the Taliban army. During its
reign in Kandahar, the Taliban, in February 1998, used a tank to push a brick
wall on top of three men, two accused of sodomy and the third of homosexual
rape. The first two died; the third spent a week in the hospital and, under the
assumption that Allah had spared him, was sent to prison. He served six months
and fled to Pakistan. “We have a dilemma on this,” one Taliban leader explained.
“One group of scholars believes you should take these people to the top of the
highest building in the city, and hurl them to their deaths. (The other) believes in
a different approach. They recommend you dig a pit near a wall somewhere, put
these people in it, then topple the wall so that they are buried alive.” The Learned
Elders of Islam are undecided on which approach is best, but tend to favor the
highest building method, as it is less costly. The so-called American Taliban,
John Walker Lindh converted to Islam as revenge against his homosexual Irish
Catholic father, Frank Lindh, who had declared himself gay, left his wife and his
job at the Reagan Justice Department in Washington, to move in with a
homosexual bar owner in San Francisco. Marilyn Walker wandered into
paganism, euphemistically termed New Age spiritualism. In 1999 she divorced
Frank.151 John Walker Lindh knew that Islam meets out the most severe
punishment for sexual deviants - a court in Qunfuda, Saudi Arabia sentenced
nine Saudi transvestites to prison terms of six years and 2,600 lashes, and
another four were sentenced to five years and 2,400 lashes. The floggings
reportedly were to be carried out in fifty equal sessions, with a fifteen-day hiatus
between each punishment. And for some this was far too lenient, as they could
have fooled many a Brother in their modest dress and caused them to commit an
unforgivable sin that occurs infrequently in the Ummah, unless you believe the
Los Angeles Times when one of its reporters wrote that a significant percentage
of men in Kandahar, Afghanistan have sex with men and boys. He quoted Mullah
Mohammed Ibrahim, a local cleric: “Ninety percent of men have the desire to
commit this sin, but most are right with God and exercise control. Only twenty
percent to fifty percent of those who want to do this actually do it.” Following the
mullah’s math, this suggested that between eighteen percent and forty-five
percent of men in Kandahar engage in homosexual sex. We are not a nation of
closet-case sissies and Muslims, especially Palestinians, enjoy a very high birth
rate. God told Hagar, the mother of Ismael: “Come, lift up the boy…for I will make
a great nation of him.”

therefore, which, in case of any fault, will be immediately impounded. With such
measures this instrument of thought will become an educative means in the
hands of our Islamic world government, which will no longer allow the mass of
the Ummah to be led astray in by-ways and fantasies about the blessings of
freedom of expression. These phantom blessings are the direct roads to foolish
imaginings that give birth to anarchical relations of men among themselves and
towards authority. Internet access is only available to 1.6 percent of the
population in Arab countries.152 We have concluded that the NSA now monitors
all email traffic coming out of any public access computer anywhere in the world
and al-Qaeda will revenge itself on librarians like Kathleen Hensman who told the
FBI that September 11th Shaheed Mohlad Alshehri and his Brother came into the
Delray Beach library late one afternoon and aroused her suspicions. Hensman
said the men seemed nervous and used the computers for about an hour: “They
kept staring at the computers and then staring at me. They left shortly after a
third Middle Eastern man arrived and spoke to them.” After her report became
public her superior reprimanded her for violating the Brothers privacy. 153

FREEDOM OF SPEECH A DIRTY LIE IN AMERICA

Listen to the words of Sheik Omar Abdul Rahman: “And please, you owe
the world to not believe what America is declaring when it says freedom of belief
and freedom of speech, and what it declares in its Constitution, in its First
Amendment. This is empty talk and there is no truth in it and nobody could
believe it. I was put in jail because of the words. There is no freedom of word or
freedom of speech. And I cannot practice my prayers in jail. There is no freedom
of belief, and those who look after the human rights, instead of going as far as
Africa and Asia, should come instead to America and its jails, to see how rights
are lost and the word is prohibited.”

PROTOCOL 17: THE SUPERIORITY OF ISLAMIC SCIENCE

The Arabic peoples have lost the habit of thinking unless prompted by the
suggestions of our specialists. Therefore they do not see the urgent necessity of
what we, when our kingdom comes, shall adopt at once, namely this, that it is
essential to teach in national schools one simple, true piece of knowledge, the
basis of all knowledge – the law of Islam, no matter how much it contravenes
science and modernism.

Abdul-Aziz Ibn Baz wrote a book that stated that the earth was flat and
still. The book is full of references to Hadith: “If the earth is rotating as they claim,
the countries, the mountains, the trees, the rivers, and the oceans will have no

bottom and the people will see the Eastern countries move to the west and the
Western countries move to the east. Those who claim that the earth is round and
moving around the sun are apostates and their blood can be shed and their
property can be taken in the name of God.” 154 In 1975 the Islamic University of
Medina, a prestigious university in modern Saudi Arabia, published this book.
The Royal Family introduced Abdul-Aziz Ibn Baz to a Saudi Astronaut who told
him what he had seen from space. Abdul-Aziz Ibn Baz then issued this fatwa,
“Therefore, it (the Earth) has been made flat for us in regards to its surface, so
that people can live on it and so that people can be comfortable upon it. The fact
that it is round does not prevent that its surface has been made flat. This is
because something that is round and very large, if it is made flat (its surface),
then its surface will become very vast or broad (i.e. having a flat appearance).
Yes."155

Sheik Saleh Ibn Fawzan al-Fawzan, the author of the Saudi kingdom's
religious curriculum, a member of the Council of Fatwa and Research, the Imam
of Prince Mitaeb Mosque in Riyadh and a professor at Imam Mohamed Bin Saud
Islamic University, Saudi Arabia's main center of learning for the strict
Wahhabism justly blamed the Tsunami on "homosexuality," "fornicators," "sexual
perversions," and other sins and sinners in a declaration on
Saudi Arabia's al-Majd TV on December 31, 2005. This was
a reference to homosexual-ridden Thai resort town of Phuket
(an apt name) and other South East Asian tourist resorts
where the cleric said, "corrupt people from all over the world
come to commit fornication and sexual perversion. These
great tragedies and collective punishments that are wiping
out villages, towns, cities, and even entire countries, are
Allah's punishments of the people of these countries, even if they are Muslims."
The holyman and Professor Al-Fawzan, is a leading opponent of curriculum
reform, opposes elections and demonstrations as Western influences, is against
Arab women marrying non-Arab Muslims and has issued a fatwa forbidding the
watching of television. He has threatened to behead a Saudi writer and scholar,
Sheik Hassan Al-Maliki, for his blasphemy of Wahhabism. Al-Maliki was fired
from his position with the ministry of education after writing a 50-page paper
criticizing Al-Fawzan's book Al-Tawheed.

The Qu’ran explained embryonic development: “We created man from an


extract of clay. Then we made him as a drop in a place of settlement, firmly fixed.
Then we made the drop into an alaqah (leech, suspended thing, and blood clot)
then we made the alaqah into a mudghah (chewed substance).” 156

The Hadith quotes the Prophet [PBUH] as saying: “Illnesses are cured by
means of three things: a drink of honey, a cut of cupping and cauterization.”

103
There is no doubt about the usefulness of honey for curing illness. The Prophet
[PBUH] describes it in the Qu’ran as a curative drink. He says: “There issues
from within these (bees) a fruit of different colors, in which there is cure for
people.” The other two methods need a little explanation: Cupping is a method
used for letting out blood either from one’s hands, legs, head or other spots. It
was extensively used, as people found it highly useful. The Prophet [PBUH]
himself was cupped and on one occasion it took place while he was fasting.
Cauterization, on the other hand, involved the use of a red-hot piece of iron to
stop the bleeding from a bad cut. If a soldier lost an arm or a foot in battle, the
surest way of stopping him bleeding to death was to resort to cauterization.
Cauterization is also used to stop bleeding in female circumcision, or as it termed
in the West, Female Genital Mutilation, FGM. Circumcision is a Sunna a tradition
of the Prophet Mohammed [PBUH], and hence unquestionable. 157

There is nothing barbaric about this practice. This is how it is performed:


The little girl, entirely nude, is immobilized in the sitting position on a low stool, by
at least three women. One of them has her arms tightly around the little girl’s
chest. Two others forcibly hold the child’s thighs apart, in order to open wide the
vulva. The child’s arms are tied behind her back or immobilized by two other
women. The traditional operator says a short prayer: “Allah is the greatest and
Muhammad is his prophet. May Allah keep away all evils.” She then spreads
some offerings on the floor to Allah (split maize, or, in urban areas, eggs). Then
the old woman takes her razor from top to bottom of the small lip, and scrapes
the flesh from inside the large lip. This nymphectomy and scraping are repeated
on the other side of the vulva. Elisabeth Rosenthal of the New York Times
reported, “The first large medical study of female genital cutting has found that
the procedure has deadly consequences when the women give birth, raising by
more than 50 percent the likelihood that the woman or her baby will die.” Of
course Rosenthal is a Jewish name.158

After a thorough study of Islamic scientific knowledge, the peoples of the


Western World will voluntarily submit to its authority and accept such position as
once seemed absurd to them. In the present state of knowledge and the direction
we have given to its development, modern science, intended to mislead and to
breed ignorance will be recognized as a blind hatred towards all conditions which
it considers to be unacceptable.

PROTOCOL 18. WE MUST PROTECT THE TEMPLE MOUNT

157
. Islamists in Egypt argue that female circumcision is an Islamic practice condoned by the Qu’ran that has been
practiced by Muslims for fourteen centuries. Approximately 90% of Egyptian girls and women are circumcised. A July
1996 decree by the Egyptian Health Ministry banned the procedure from being performed by publicly funded doctors and
health care workers. On June 24, 1997 this decision was overturned on the grounds that the government did not have the
authority to restrict doctors’ rights. The doctor’s syndicate, chaired and led by the Muslim Brotherhood, took a position in
support of circumcision. In 1998 the Higher State Council overturned this ruling because it found nothing in the Qu’ran
authorizing female circumcision, and no clear guidance in the Hadith. The Higher State Council was motivated by politics,
not religion. The Egyptian government was embarrassed by a film on this practice shown at a human rights conference in
Cairo.

We count upon attracting all Muslim nations to the task of erecting the new
fundamentalist world structure, the project for which has been drawn up by us.
This is why, before everything, it is indispensable for us to arm ourselves and to
store up in ourselves that absolutely reckless audacity and irresistible might of
the spirit which, in the person of our active workers, will break down all
hindrances on our way with thousands of Iranian-supplied missiles launched by
Hizb’allah into Israel from Lebanon and Gaza, waves of genocide bombings,
kidnapping of soldiers. This will strengthen the hand of the religious right in the
Zionist entity and make the issue that unites all Muslims, not the plight of the
Palestinian people, but the Western domination of the Al-Aska Mosque and the
Dome of the Rock, in a land occupied by Zionist terrorists who wish to destroy
both of these holy structures and blaspheme Islam: When the Jews conquered
the Holy City in 1967, they stood on the threshold of Al-Aqsa and proclaimed:
“Mohammed is dead, and his descendants are all women!”

In April 1984, the Zionist police arrested members of a Jewish terror group
who were suspected of murdering several students from the University of Hebron
and of carrying out attacks against Palestinian mayors. The organization was
making the final preparations to blow up the Dome of the Rock on Al-Haram Ash-
Sharif. During the interrogations conducted by the Shin Bet secret police one of
the arrested said: “The destruction of the mosques would have enraged millions
of Muslims all over the world. Most likely, their fury would have caused a war,
which would have escalated and resulted in a world war. Such a war, with its
enormously high death rate would have pushed the redemption process of the
Jews and the Land of Israel forward for at that moment all Muslims would have
vanished and thus everything would have been ready for the arrival of the
Messiah.” Stanley Goldfoot is the international secretary of the Temple Mount
Faithful, a group that wishes to hasten the coming of the Messiah by removing
the Mosque from the Mount. As a member of the Stern Gang and also the Irgun,
Goldfoot was responsible for planting the bomb at the King David Hotel in
Jerusalem on July 22, 1946 that killed 100 British soldiers and officials. The
Zionist religious fanatics are trying to tell us something by his appointment. If
Goldfoot fails in his plan to blow up the Al-Aska Mosque and the Dome of the
Rock, the Muslim population of the world should be reminded that the Zionist
entity has plans to create artificial earthquakes triggered from afar, to undermine
the foundations of these shrines and destroy them, in order to establish the
Temple its place.159 While he worked for the spy agencies of the Zionist entity,
Avishai Raviv joined the Temple Mount Faithful, however, Raviv’s attempt to
wrest control from the founder of the group led to his expulsion.

NETUREI KARTA: OUR PARTNERS IN THE DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL


ITS SCRIPTUAL FOUNDATION

In 1937 Rabbis Amram Blau and Aharon


Katzenelbogen, Hungarian Jews who had moved to

159
. Al-Hayat Al-Jadidah, October 26, 1997 - The Palestinian Authority’s official newspaper

105
Jerusalem to study Torah founded Neturei Karta. Neturei Karta, which means
Guardians of the City (Jerusalem) in Aramaic, started out as an umbrella group
of Torah scholars living in Safat who moved to Meah Shearim in the Old City
because of natural disasters and Muslim attacks. In order to survive in a hostile
environment, Neturei Karta members transformed itself into a group of fervently
Orthodox Jews who opposed Zionism ostensibly on theological grounds. Neturei
Karta cites this passage from the Bible to justify its belief that Israel should not
exist: "It will be that when all these things come upon you, the blessing and the
curse that I have presented to you, then you will reflect upon it among all the
nations where HaShem your God has scattered you. And you will return to
HaShem your God and you will obey His voice according to everything I have
commanded you today, you and your children with all your heart and with all your
soul. And HaShem your God will bring back your remnants and have mercy on
you, and He will gather you in from all the peoples to which HaShem your God
has scattered you. If your dispersed will be at the ends of the heavens from there
HaShem your God will gather you and from there He will take you. And HaShem
your God will bring you to the land your fathers inhabited and you shall
inhabit it, and He will be good to you and you will increase even more than your
fathers. HaShem your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your
offspring to love HaShem your God with all your heart and with all your soul that
you may live. HaShem your God will place these curses upon your enemies and
upon your haters who pursued you. And you will return and listen to the voice of
HaShem and you will do all His commandments which I have commanded you
today." (Deuteronomy 30)

What this means to the Learned Elders of Islam is that the false God of
the Jews will gather up every scraggily exile from the most remote corners of the
earth and dump them in Palestine and place curses upon the non-Jews already
inhabiting that region. Nowhere does this passage forbid the establishment of the
Zionist settler state, but it is a promise to every exile to bring them back to the
“Promised Land” and exacerbate an already Islamically unacceptable situation by
polluting our God-given land with more Jews. But the Neturei Karta theologians’
exegesis proved most expedient, as it made them much less of a threat to the
Muslim population and insured their safety to a point. Ironically, the founders of
Neturei Karta were descendants of the students of the Vilna Gaon, the Lithuanian
anti-Haredi160 who regarded Hassidism as heresy. In accordance with the Vilna
Gaon's wishes, three groups of his disciples and their families, numbering over
500, immigrated to Palestine between 1808 and 1812. This immigration is
considered to be the beginning of the modern settlement of the Zionist settler
state.

Neturei Karta also cites the Talmud, 161 which teaches that that god
foreswore Jews with three oaths - One: that Jews are not to go up en mass to the
Land of Israel. Two: that Jews are forbidden to take up arms against any nation.
Three, we should not attempt to bring about the redemption before its proper

time. In order to better understand these Jews the Elders had its scholar’s
translate the Tractate, “(1) the Jewish people must not ascend from the nations
of the Exile to the Land of Israel, forcibly, en masse; (2) the Jewish people must
not rebel against the nations of the Exile; and (3) the nations of the Exile must
not overly persecute the Jewish people (111a). However, in a messianic
reference to the future ingathering of the Jewish people to, and the resurrection
of a sovereign Jewish nation-state in, the Land of Palestine, the Midrash (a
method of exegesis) of a Biblical text warns that if the gentile nations should
overly persecute the Jewish people in violation of the Three Oaths, then "they
cause the End of Days to come prematurely." 162 For some, the holocaust might
qualify as “over persecution” for the Elders no such concept exists.

RABBI BLAU’S BLUES

The Elders have observed that many of Neturei Karta leaders have
evidenced bizarre behavior, as one must have a degree of mental illness to
advocate what is ultimately one’s own extermination. When Rabbi Amram Blau
urged Orthodox females to commit suicide rather than accept conscription some
began to wonder about his sanity. Ruth Ben David who was born in Calais,
France, of Catholic parents brought Rabbi Blau’s psychosis in the public eye.
Ruth was an actress who married during the war and had a son, then got
divorced and entered the French Resistance. In 1951 she and her son converted
to Judaism. After her son went to study in Israel she secretly visited Hebron,
which was part of Jordan, a daring journey for a Jew at that time. In 1961 it was
arranged that Ruth Ben David would marry the Rabbi Amram Blau. By this time
he was 65 years old, was widowed and had ten children, the majority already
married and she was 45. Why did he choose her for a bride? In the 1950s, during
one of the anti-Israeli demonstrations, Blau suffered a blow to his testicles that
rendered him sterile. There is a biblical commandment that forbids a man with
permanent damage to his genitals to marry a daughter of Israel, but marriage to
a convert is permissible. During a very long period, many obstacles prevented
this marriage: such a union, with one of the leaders of the Hasidic community,
was indeed startling for the Jews of Meah Shearim who did not swallow the
broken testicles story.163 A beautiful French convert to Judaism who had been an
actress and a resistance fighter against the Nazis marrying a decrepit old Jew?
Blau's two grown sons opposed the match. They argued that such a marriage - to
a foreigner who was also an actress - was inappropriate for a public figure. The
couple was married in 1964. They endured stonings and were forced to take
refuge in the city of B’nai Berak for a year until tempers cooled. 164 Ruth Blau
continued to act as her own independent wing of Neturei Karta even after her
husband died in 1974.

107
Joel Teitelbaum, the Satmar Rebbe, was
inspired by the ideas of Neturei Karta. In 1928
Teitelbaum was a Rabbi at Satu Mare, Romania.
During the holocaust in 1944, he was saved in the
rescue train arranged through Rudolph Kastner, and
instead of going to the Bergen-Belsen concentration
camp he reached Palestine. Zionism saved the life of
the anti-Zionist Teitelbaum. The Learned Elders of
Islam pray there were more Jews around like Kastner, a Zionist who worked with
the Jewish Agency Rescue Committee in Budapest. Kastner signed a secret pact
with Adolf Eichmann to “settle the Jewish question” in Hungary. The pact sealed
the fate of 800,000 Jews. The agreement entailed the saving of six hundred
prominent Jews on the condition that silence was maintained about the fate of
Hungarian Jewry. In 1947 Rabbi Ben-Zion Weberman, a fundamentalist who was
one of the early Hassids in New York City, brought Teitelbaum to America.
Teitelbaum settled in Brooklyn, New York and in 1953 became rabbi of the
Neturei Karta community in Occupied Jerusalem 165 although he remained in New
York and only visited Israel every few years. Later his ties with the Neturei Karta
weakened but his book Vayoel Moshe is still extensively quoted: “Everyone
ignores the fact that it has been these Zionist groups that have attracted the
Jewish people and have violated the Oath against establishing a Jewish entity
before the arrival of the Messiah. It is because of the Zionists that six million
Jews were killed. The fact is that this is the bitter punishment stipulated in the
Talmud that results in the payment of a spiritual and physical debt from the
Jewish People...if we place all the immodesty and promiscuity of the generation
and the many sins of the world on one side of the scale, and the Zionist state on
the other side of the scale by itself, it would outweigh them all. Zionism is the
greatest form of spiritual impurity in the entire world. They are polluting the entire
world. They have polluted the Jewish people with their heresy, Heaven help us. It
is no surprise why God's anger comes down from heaven. It is necessary to
repent and escape from them more than from a lion who is chasing a person to
kill him. It has been explained that before the coming of the Messiah this regime
will come to an end, as Messiah cannot come any other way, since the Zionist
state holds up the redemption of the world. We need God's mercies that divine
intervention should bring about the end of the state. May God have mercy on us
all."

APPEASING HITLER

If Zionism is the greatest sin on earth because it is preventing the return


on the Messiah than the Jewish illegitimate State of Israel must be wiped off the
map. But some Jews must be saved, namely the non-Zionists. Neturei Karta
believes it has immunity from jihadi attacks. This was generally the case however
residents of Meah Shearim were saved in March 2001 from a huge explosion
from a bomb planted in a parked car that was dismantled before it could explode.

This was the fourth such incident in two months. The first bomb was neutralized
on Shivtei Yisroel Street, the second on Shomrei Emunim Street. The third bomb,
placed in a car in the Beis Yisroel neighborhood, actually exploded, but
unfortunately there were no casualties. 166 Neturei Karta leader Rabbi Yisrael Meir
Hirsch explained, "That was Hamas. I called up then Hamas political leader Dr.
Abdel Aziz Rantisi after it happened. He said it was a terrible sin, a mistake. He
said that he didn't mean to do this to the Jews. We have contact with Hamas.
Although lately, there doesn't seem to be anybody in charge! If I had been alive
at the time, I would have gone to Hitler. He got enraged when the Zionist leaders
called for a boycott of him…This boycott hurt Germany like a fly attacking an
elephant – but it brought calamity upon the Jews of Europe. At a time when
America and England were at peace with the mad-dog Hitler, the Zionist
‘statesmen’ forsook the only plausible method of political amenability; and with
their boycott incensed the leader of Germany to a frenzy. He banged on the table
and said, 'I'll show those Jews!' What if we had tried to appease him, instead?”167
The Neturei Karta run paid advertisements in Nazi publications denouncing
Zionism in the belief that if the Nazis come to power again they will be spared.

APPEASING IRAN

After he husband died Ruth Blau cultivated a friendship with the Ayatollah
Khomeni. When four rabbis from Neturei Karta visited Iran in the late 1980’s
some of them said that the thirteen Jews on trial there for espionage had been
duped by the Zionist entity, which tantamount to saying that they were guilty.
Rabbi Yisrael Weiss, the head of the delegation, told Yusef Hamadani-Cohen,
the leader of Iran’s 30,000-strong Jewish community, the thirteen suspects had
been “tricked” by the Zionist entity into collecting sensitive information on Iran.
“Zionism is separate from the Jewish faith, and whoever becomes involved in
Zionism ends up the loser,” Rabbi Weiss said.

Neturei Karta leader Rabbi Moshe Hirsch stated. "We say Iran is an
autonomous state; why shouldn't they be a nuclear power? Why is it permissible
for France and not for them?" Hirsch was born in New York’s Lower East Side
but has lived in Israel for most of his sixty years calls himself a Jewish
Palestinian and writes Palestine as his country of residence. He was designated
a cabinet minister and Yassir Arafat’s advisor on Jewish affairs 168 when Arafat
arrived in the West Bank city of Jericho in 1994 after Arafat signed interim peace
accords with Israel. Hirsch, now in his seventies, wears a glass eye, blue like his
good one. About ten years ago, a Kahanist attacked him after he left morning
prayers. Rabbi Cohn was asked about an upcoming Holocaust Revisionist
Conference that was being planned by the Government of Iran, “I don't find it
offensive at all. If people want to debate the details of the Holocaust, they're

welcome to. We happen to know. We were involved." 169 In December 2006 the
Iranian Government held the conference in Tehran.

APPEASING FARRAKHAN

Weiss met with Brother Louis Farrakhan and told him that Judaism and
Zionism are diametrically opposed. After this Weiss said that Farrakhan never
maligned Judaism publicly again except at Saviors Day in March 2006: “These
false Jews promote the filth of Hollywood that is seeding the American people
and the people of the world and bringing you down in moral strength…It's the
wicked Jews the false Jews that are promoting Lesbianism, homosexuality. It's
wicked Jews, false Jews that make it a crime for you to preach the word of God,
then they call you homophobic!" When the Jewish Defense Organization held a
demonstration against Farrakhan on the very Saviors Day during which Brother
Farrakhan made these statement Neturei Karta staged protests in the U.S.
against critics of Farrakhan such as the Jewish Defense Organization.

The Neturei Karta attend every anti-Zionist demonstration as well as


Holocaust Revisionist conferences. Where does the money come from to run
these ads and others in publications like the New York Times? It comes from the
PLO.170 It also comes from a percentage of the money Neturei Karta smuggles to
Hamas from Britain, France and the U.S. Neturei Karta Rabbi Cohen stated:
“First of all, the FBI always comes and makes videos of our movements, and we
stood up by trials for the Palestinian people in the U.S. who were to be deported,
and we stood up, and they said: These are righteous people. They are just
standing up against Zionism. And they showed clips of our demonstrations, so
we are being watched. The FBI has approached us, but we always say: “We are
an open book.” We are just... We are doing what God wants, we are speaking up
against Zionism, and we are not afraid to speak up. 171 In the Spring 2006, Rabbi
Weiss was in Lebanon, where, dressed in full ultra-Orthodox garb and hosted by
the Hezbollah, he toured a refugee camp and then lit memorial candles for the
victims of the Sabra and Shatila massacre.

NETUREI KARTA MEMBERS WILL NOT BE GRANTED THE STATUS OF


DHIMMITUDE FOR IT IS AN OUTDATED ISLAMIC CONCEPT

In the past, where Islam has conquered, Jews and Christians who did not
fight against the forces of Allah were deemed dhimmi, meaning subject people
who live under the dhimma, which is the pact or treaty granted by the Prophet
Muhammed [PBUH] to the Peoples of the Book. They were not enslaved like
others captured during war. The regime of dhimmitude did, however, require
Jews and Christians to wear distinctive clothing. In the ninth century, for
example, Baghdad’s Caliph al-Mutawakkil designated a yellow badge for Jews,
setting a precedent that would be followed centuries later in Nazi Germany. The

Taliban172 leadership in Afghanistan forced Afghan Hindus to wear labels on their
clothing to differentiate them from Muslims as a way to protect the Hindu
population in that country.173 “It is only to differentiate between Muslims and non-
Muslims. The Hindus should put a yellow piece of cloth the size of a thumb inside
their pockets,” said Abdul Wali, chief of the religious police, officially known as
the Minister for Fostering Virtue and Suppressing Vice. 174 Abdul Wali was
honored by being listed in the Sheik Omar Abdul Rahman Unindicted Co-
Conspirator List in the U.S.A. v. Rahman case that was released to the public by
United States Attorney General Mary Joe White in February 1995.

Dhimmitude excluded Jews and Christians from any access to the law
whereby they might seek to subvert Shari'ah. Dhimmis, on pain of death, were
forbidden to mock or criticize the Qur`an, Islam or Muhammed, to proselytize
among Muslims or to touch a Muslim woman (though a Muslim man could take a
non-Muslim as a wife). Dhimmis were excluded from public office and armed
service, and were forbidden to bear arms and paid special tax. They were not
allowed to ride horses or camels, to build synagogues or churches taller than
mosques, to construct houses higher than those of Muslims or to drink wine in
public. They were not allowed to pray or mourn in loud voices - as this would
offend Muslims. Now they are also forbidden from riding trains, buses,
automobiles and airliners. Other than this, they are free to do as the wish. The
reason the enemy has forfeited its right to dhimmitude, even collaborators like
Neturei Karta, as put forth by the Prophet [PBUH] is because the distinction
between civilian non-combatants and combatants has become blurred and its
exemptions grow fewer and fewer.

Until al-Qaeda becomes powerful enough to wage nuclear Jihad it should


be remembered that Allah has condemned the Jews for their actions, as it is
written in the Holy Qu’ran. They are described as liars, cheats and conspirators
with hearts harder than rocks, and not only that, but a large number of them were
turned into apes and swine, as punishment for their conspiracy to violate the
command of God. They, the disobedient Jews, are sentenced to a life of misery
and homelessness and debasement for their acts.

WE’VE HADITH WITH THE JEWS

Ibn 'Umar, May Allah be pleased with them, reported: Allah's Messenger
[PBUH] said: When the Jews offer you salutations, some of them say Al-Samu
'Alaikum (death be upon you). You should say (in response to it): Let it be upon
you. Abu Hurairah, May Allah be pleased with him, reported:
The Messenger of Allah [PBUH] said: Let Allah destroy the Jews for they have
taken the graves of their Messengers as places of worship.

BAN THE QU’RAN?

Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri stated, “Part of the Congressional report on the


September 11th Events, which the U.S. Government banned its publication,
included a recommendation to ban the Saudi Government from printing and
distributing the holy Qu’ran. Why? Because it includes verses that call for hating
Jews and Christians.”175 Not only does America suggest banning the holy Qu’ran
- then change their minds - they have their soldiers flush it down an excrement-
filled toilet, when this book is not even supposed to touch the floor, then claim
that the story about this in Newsweek Magazine was in error.

Remember this always, Israel, Judaism and Jews challenge Islam and the
Muslim people. For it is written that as punishment for their sins, Jews have been
changed into apes and pigs, 176 and at The End of Days, the Muslims will destroy
them, for our next attack Insha’allah will be with biological weapons. It will be an
innovative attack, in the sense that it will be completely unexpected, and
impossible for the West to even think about or picture its way of action, for it is
unimaginable in the normal way.

THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES

In a two-page bulletin, dated December 8, 2006 the FBI reported to


federal intelligence officials that Sheikh Abdel-Rahman had been rushed from
prison to a Missouri hospital two days earlier for a blood transfusion. There,
doctors discovered a tumor on Sheikh Rahman's liver. But U.S. Bureau of
Prisons spokeswoman Tracy Billingsley said Abdel-Rahman's condition had
stabilized, and he has since been moved back to prison. As His Eminence’s
health deteriorated the “terror alert” increased. In January 2007 Ayman Zawahri
proclaimed,

As for my Muslim Ummah I tell it, it is the duty of every Muslim


today…is responsible for the efforts to liberate the Muslim captives
foremost of whom is Sheikh Omar Abdel al-Rahman from the
prisons of the crusaders and their helpers and we reaffirm to the
families of the Guantanamo captives who are demonstrating these
days in Cuba, that we “with God’s permission, have not and will not
forget our captives and that their liberation is a debt on our necks
and that the Americans must expect to pay the price for everything
they have done to them.”
