A Critical Evaluation of the Post 9/11 Al-Qaida Literature
Abstract
Al-Qaeda is an institutionalized organization which was championed by
Osama Bin Ladin and is currently lead by Ayman Mohammed Rabie alZawahiri. It has its own guidelines regarding friendship, war, and
reconciliation for Ahle-Kitab and non-Muslims. They viewed that the 9/11
attacks it orchestrated, according to the record are deemed legal. They claim
that the action has compatibility with Quran, Hadiths, Seerat-e-Nabavi,
followers of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and Imams of the four sects.
Al-Qaeda regards the attacks as retaliations of US' cruelties on Muslim
Ummah around the world. It asserts US and allies have inflicted severe injuries
on the Muslims in Sudan, Palestine, Libya, Afghanistan, Sheehan, Kashmir,
and Iraq. Muslims are martyred by the US and coalitions through air-strikes,
ground action, and naval actions. The children are made orphan and the wives
are made widows. It further asserts that Muslims economic development
resources are occupied. US targets the innocent Muslims wherever it sees its
interests are in danger. Despite truce and reconciliation agreements, US flouts
the agreements and waged wars on the Muslims. Having kept in view this
abysmal condition of the Muslim, one would resort to what a common course
of action in such circumstances.
Al-Qaeda's literature considers war on US, allies, and non-Muslims as legal in
the context of their cruelties. What name may be given to the barbaric action it
had taken against Japan in the World War-I by throwing nuclear bombs on
Japan? The Al-Qaeda organization regards suicide attacks on non-Muslims,
war on US, and Jihad as obligatory. The organization even considers the
killing of the civilians and innocent also legitimate if these hit.According to AlQaeda's conviction if Muslims are employed as shelters by the Non-Muslims
in such conditions they are martyred, if they are hit in the suicide attacks.
