first published the below article in June of 2004
- now, as the world is all excited about the latest
fascist to call himself the most powerful man
in the world, it seems fitting to revist this
very insightful text. The new administration of
the U.S is still toting as one of their policies
'the destruction of Al-Qaeda' which any informed
reader will know is total horseshit - Al-Qaeda
does not exist, it is the boogeyman, the perpetual
ememy from Orwell's 1984 - so, I ask you, is Obama
any different?

'Al-Qaeda'
is a Manufactured Intelligence Front
During
the past weeks, two American hostages have been
killed and decapitated in Iraq and in Saudi Arabia.
The media say that these crimes were comitted
by Islamic Terrorists.
I
have never read any Islamic Rule in the Koran
which allows the decapitation of people whether
they are Moslems, Christians or Jews, for any
reason whatsoever.
I
have never read an Islamic Rule which states that
the killing of hostages is allowed. All what I
remember that Islam has to say in this matter
is that somebody who kills a “believer”
unlawfully is sanctioned the same as if he had
killed all the worlds nations. The word “believer”
means "anyone who believes in God" in
this context, not only Muslims.
The
Koran states that the place where faith in God
is held, and equally where the faith in God is
broken, is in the heart. The Koran states that
nobody can read what is in the hearts of others,
or judge them as a believers or disbelievers.
Even if their hearts are cut open, it is not possible
to know if a person is a believer or not. Knowledge
in this matter belongs only to God himself. This
should be understood as meaning that Islam expressly
forbids killing for religious reasons.
The
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) recommended good treatment
for hostages and prisoners during the past Islamic
wars. He said: “You should not kill an old
man, a child, or a woman. You should not cut a
tree or destroy a church...”. Murdering
and killing is outside of Islamic morals and principles,
which are inviolable.
Seen
from a more secular standpoint, an Arabic proverb
says ”Nobody can cut the head of a person
but his Creator”. This means again that
nobody has the right to put an end to anothers
life. While Islam expressly forbids suicide, it
is still more acceptable to put an end to ones
own life than to kill another person.
What
does the word "Al-Qaeda" mean ? In Arabic,
"Al-Qaeda" has a different meanings,
among them “Base", "Ground",
"Norm", "Rule", "Fundament",
"Grammar". The exact meaning is dependent
on the context in which it is used. It depends
on the word which follows “Al-Qaeda”
in the sentence. "Qawa'ad Askaria" is
an Army Base, "Qawa'ad Lugha" stands
for Grammar Rules (the Bases of Grammar).
"Qa'ada"
is the infinitive of the verb "to sit".
"Ma-Qa'ad" is a chair. "Al-Qaeda"
is the base or fundament of something. "Ana
raicha Al Qaeda" is colloquial for "I'm
going to the toilet". A very common and widespread
use of the word “Al-Qaeda” in different
Arab countries in the public language is for the
toilet bowl. This name comes from the Arabic verb
“Qa'ada” which mean “to sit”,
pertinently, on the “Toilet Bowl”.
In most Arabs homes there are two kinds of toilets:
“Al-Qaeda” also called the "Hamam
Franji" or foreign toilet, and "Hamam
Arabi" or “Arab toilet” which
is a hole in the ground. Lest we forget it, the
potty used by small children is called "Ma
Qa'adia" or "Little Qaeda".
Those
who founded the glorious "International of
Islamic Terror, Al-Qaeda, probably knew too little
about common use of Arabic language to know that
by using this name for their organization, they
risked becoming the laughing stock of everybody
who speaks the Arabic "public" language.
To
kidnap, torture and execute people are terrorist
actions which are in no way related to God or
to Islam, and these actions are not rewarded by
paradise as some ignorant Western media figures
would like to believe.
The
terrorist event of New York 11 September 20001,
and the terror event of Madrid on 11 March 2004,
and other terror events commonly connected to
Islam, are clearly not related to Islam if we
consider that the Al-Qaeda terror organization
was established by the C.I.A in the 1980s. Al-Qaeda
is nothing but a conveniently "Islamic"
front which enables the C.I.A. to commit crimes
in the name of Muslims. It is well known that
the Mujahadeen terrorists of Afghanistan were
organized, trained and funded by the C.I.A. using
the Pakistani ISI as a "cut-out" in
order to lure the Soviet Army into Afghanistan
at the end of 1979. The Mujahedeen can be seen
as C.I.A. terrorism with an islamic name and "islamic"
perpetrators. Afghanistan has, for all purposes,
been destroyed by these fanatics in furtherance
of American interests.
The
Al-Qaeda terror organization has caused immense
damage to Islam, to Moslems worldwide and to the
interests of the peoples of all Arab and Muslim
countries. The actions of Al-Qaeda have only served
to promote the interests of the U.S. and Israel,
which are clearly interested in "reshaping"
the Middle East in such a way that they can more
easily rape and plunder the region at will.
In
fact the C.I.A is using the terrorist actions
of its proxy Al-Qaeda in order to give the U.S.
an excuse to extend their power into and invade
the Arab countries, first countries with rich
plunder (Oil) like Iraq, Iran, Saudia Arabia,
and second any country which is a "threat"
to Israel, or more exactly which Israel dislikes
for whatever reason. The third objective for which
the C.I.A. is using its proxy Al-Qaeda is to engender
fear and hate of Islam and Muslims worldwide.
This corresponds to an old and tried ploy of colonizers:
to slander and denigrate the target population
so that it is acceptable and even called for to
commit genocide against them. The peoples of Ireland,
Africa and the Americas have all suffered this
tragedy, and these regions have been colonized.
The next obvious victims are Arabs and Muslims
by extension because they live in geographic areas
rich in oil and other resources, and because Muslims
as a collective are not white enough to be respected
as full humans by the criminals in London, Washinton
and Tel Aviv.
The
immediate question is then: What purpose is the
U.S pursuing in Saudi Arabia with the decapitation
of Paul Johnson ? Is this crime related to their
plans in the region in any way, or is it just
one more sideshow related to the upcoming elections
in the U.S. designed to distract the american
public from some very embarassing information
leaks which could endanger the reelection of President
Bush ? Will there be a new decapitation every
time something embarassing or dangerous for the
Bush administration leaks to the media, in the
same way as there was a very well timed suicide
bomber in Israel every time Sharon would have
otherwise been forced to make peace with the Palestinian
side ? In a strange coincidence, the murder of
Paul Johnson was made public last Thursday or
Friday.
The
pictures of Johnson's decapitation were widely
shown in the mainstream media. At the same time,
last Thursday, two American officers testified
before the Commission investigating the 911 crime
according to the article by Tom Fiocco linked
above. This was conveniently ignored by the mainstream
media. If the 911 Commission had chosen to ask
these two officers hard questions related to the
weirdness of that day, they could probably have
been found more than just weirdness and chaos.
A pertinent question would have been: could "Al-Qaeda",
without the very opportune "weirdness"
around the actions of these two officers, been
able to kidnap and fly four airplanes for hours
through the USA, to crash them into buildings
in two separate cities ? Whatever the answer to
this question, the two officers named in the linked
article, Navy Captain Charles J. Leidig, Jr. and
Brigadier General Montague Winfield have since
been promoted by President Bush according to the
article of Tom Fiocco.
A
strange coincidence around the murder of Paul
Johnson is that the Saudi Police apparently cooperated
with those who abducted him. Why would a security
service trained by American and British C.I.A.
fronts like the Vinnell Corporation, cooperate
with "Al-Qaeda", their purported enemy
? This is the second time during the last weeks
that Saudi security forces have cooperated with
"Al-Qaeda. If this starts happening regularly,
it would suggest either a very grave instability
in the Kingdom or that the Saudi security forces
are run in accordance with American interests
And,
why was the body of Paul Johnson, just like Nicholas
Berg before him, clothed in an orange Guantanamo-style
overall ? Does "Al-Qaeda" go shopping
at Guantanamo Bay, or is there something else
behind this "coincidence" ?
During
the second Palestinian Intifada, the Israeli intelligence
tried to create an "Al-Qaeda" organization
in the West Bank and and Gaza using the American
know-how and experience gained creating Al-Qaeda
and Mr. Osama bin Ladin. The Israeli Intelligence
services were using the damaged Palestinians economy
to lure in unaware Palestinian youths. They provided
several Palestinians with machine guns and thousands
of dollars to kill Israelis under the name of
Al-Qaeda. When the game was discovered by the
Palestinians intelligence, the Israelis scurried
away and stopped their disgusting "Al-Qaeda"
game with Palestinians. Only last week the media
carried news of an Israeli (not Palestinian) arrested
in the Phillipines for being a member of "Al-Qaeda"
As
an example of how different things can be when
the USA wants, in April, 1992, the airplane of
President Arafat made a forced landing in the
desert during a trip between Lybia and Sudan.
He was found almost instantly by Israel and America,
and brought to safety on the next day. Why is
the USA not able to find Osama bin Laden in the
same way with all the resources they have ?
On
behalf of my people I would like to say that we
deny that the terror practices of Al-Qaeda represent
Islam and Moslems in any way. We are against the
instrumentalization of Islam and all Moslems by
the C.I.A through their front organization Al-Qaeda.
This disgusting criminal gang has already caused
too much death and suffering for innocents of
all creeds in many lands. We reject the Al-Qaeda
announcement to killing innocents people under
the name of Islam for revenge of the injustices
comitted against Palestinians. We reject all Al-Qaeda
practices as these crimes are against humanity.
These crimes are all steered from Washington by
the C.I.A. and they only represent U.S. policy

After
I was forced by the Israeli occupation forces
to leave my home in Palestine, I fled to Vienna,
Austria, where I currently live as a refugee.
I started my online diary in October 2001 while
still living in Palestine, where I worked as a
journalist.
