This is a short translation of the first part of “Rationalization of Jihad Operations”, I took out fragment from the original document such as quotes, references and I did my best to make as brief and short as possible.
Words from the author
I am not a mufti nor a scholar in Sharia, and my book is not a fatwa but simply to transfer the knowledge to the people.
The difference between the two [knowledge and fatwa] is that knowledge for all people in all times and places just like our ancestors wrote and we still learn from their books, fatwa is the appropriate selection of this knowledge that can be given to certain people in a particular place and time.
I am not writing this document to criticize a group or individuals, but to alert the Muslims of serious irregularities committed in the name of Jihad and for the sake of Allah.
Introduction
God sent His Prophet Muhammad as guidance to bring the light which created the State of Islam from scratch and become a great Islamic nation stretching from the east in Bangladesh to Andalusia in the west.
However, after toppling the weak Ottoman Caliphate in the late nineteenth century, European countries divided most of this Islamic nation, plundering its wealth and kept the people in a state of poverty and underdevelopment, imposing military occupation; then these European countries, established a state for Jews (Israel) in the heart of the Islamic world.
Many Muslims were alert about this danger, called for solution and felt that is to return to basis law of Islam and Sharia is good for their countries and people.
There were several ways Muslims took to respond and stand against world’s super-powers, some of them clashed with these countries in the name of jihad, these clashes spread in different countries from the extreme east to the remote west, in these clashes many illegitimate actions were committed against civilians such as murder because of the color of the skin or the color of the hair, religion murders, the killings of Muslims and non-Muslims, using human shields to expand the circle of murder, property damages.… etc.
Although Jihad is a duty for Muslims, bloodshed and destruction brings God’s outrage, and this is a betrayal to Muslims duties. Therefor we write this document
to rationalize and explain the law of Jihad to jihadi groups in various parts of the world.
We write this with the confirmation and recognition that Jihad everywhere is a noble cause.

I certainly agree with this short soundbyte, and would go further to say that if anyone has been killed due to the color of their skin or hair, than it can’t possibly be jihad. More importantly, such claims are not very accurate, as the bulk of jihad today is geared towards a defensive war against those who are the agressors. It is not an offensive jihad, and the ones who get the most news coverage are in fact the ones who are fighting jihad properly — meaning for the sake of God and no other gods, idols, or man-made creations. When one mixes such polytheism with jihad (such as nationalistic or even sectarian resistance), thats when one is most likely to commit some of the transgressions listed in this short article. I think those transgression nevertheless, are a tiny minority, and not indicative of the overall modern-day jihadi movement. The Vietnamese resistance was a noble one, even if I disagree with them on philosophlical matters, and jihad was not a feature of their resistance. So I’m not condemning all types of resistance against an occupation, I’m just stating honestly what Jihad should mean, and that Muslims who carry out this duty are the ones to recieve the most negative press, themost number of baseless accusations, and the are given the greatest amount of scrutiney by the zionist-controlled global mass media. So they must be doing something right.
One should always take care to put things in balance, and realise that racism, divide and conquer tactis, mutilation, imprisonment, torture, and genocide are the charecteristics of rich and powerful nations as well as those who are secular or tribal, as opposed to those who wage jihad and call for a khalifah (and no one is perfect).
Again, I comment only on this short excert as opposed to the entire book from which this excert originates from. I’m sure we have more to agree on as opposed to what we may disagree on.

Those claiming to fight a holy islamic war are, whether knowingly or not, making things terrible for Iraq and helping the baath.
By the same token, I would say that those who fight in the cause of their nation (in contrast to say Vietnam), contradict their own religion allowing outside parties to more easily step in and create division (fitnah) and weaken the ranks.
The ones making things terrible for Iraq are the ones who established its fake borders and boundaries to being with. The ones who used Iraq to contain the Iranian revolution. The ones who used to support that revolution and call America the great satan, but now act as the front line for the US (meaning the Shiite). The ones who want to establish their own state based on ethnicity (whether that be kurdistan or the pan-arab Baathist state), the ones who slaughtered more than 1 million poor infants in Iraq through UN sponsored and US enforced sanctions. The ones whose intelligence agencies act to separate jihadi factions. The ones whose countries were used as a launching pad for this and other wars. Those are the ones who are doing terrible things to Iraq…NOT those who say that there is but 1 creator, and He has no partners or associates, and He is the only reason worth fighting for. Allahu Akbhar.
yeah whatever.
How about forgettign about Allahu Akbar for a while, and concentratign on rebuildign roads, schools and hospitals?
How about allowign the population to choose their own representatives?
If your argument is so good, you wouldn’t need to issue fatwas to ban elections, and to use carbombs.
if my argument was so bad, you wouldn’t need prisons to lock up the Muslims, you wouldn’t need bombs to try and eradicate Allahu akbar, you wouldn’t need torture to coerce the Muslims, you wouldn’t need to centralize media control in order to silence the call to Islam, you wouldn’t create imaginary roads and schools that end up being bombed back into the ground a short while later, nor would you need “billions” upon “billions” of dollars (fake currency) to bribe criminals and despots so that they can wage their phony elections (or give fatwas urging ppl to vote a certain way like mr. Sistani of the shiite). The list goes on and on. Patience is one’s provision in the severity of trials.
I wouldn’t need prisons to lock up the muslims?
LOL look at my name again, you will see that I am not the director of prisons or anything like that.
BTW muslims will go to prison if they break the law. No special exemptions.
Why don’t your heroes concentrate on rebuilding the country?
We might not need tha huge expensive contracts from bechtel etc?
How about not bombing queues of voters and bus stops?
Once again, you lose focus of what I am saying. In referring to those who imprison, torture, oppress, silence, slaughter, and bomb Muslims, I am referring to Baathist-controlled Iraq, or the Safawid empire in Iran (where no Sunni Mosque stands), or occupied Palestine, or Kashmir under the rule of the cow-worshipers, or Atheist Russia’s assault on Chechnya, or the governments of Jordan, Egypt, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and indeed, the United States and Britain (among others).
Yet, you ask why Muslims aren’t rebuilding their countries (lol). Do you want a situation similar to Palestine, where the CIA helps build schools, roads, and government buildings, and then those institutions get bombed right back into the ground by the Israeli military? This cycle then continues over and over again. Iraq will not be rebuilt nor will it have a functioning civil society until the occupation is kicked out — and there is no negotiating with the American/Israeli/Safawid occupation.
I don’t care about muslims rebuilding their couontries.
i was askign you about why the muqawada are bombing hospitals and schools, instead of rebuildign infrastructure and pursuing the baath.
Don’t say the US will bomb the schools etc. The US want a stable government, and an honourable exit so their investments can mature.
