Wars waged by the west are barbaric, not Jihad (religion of nice terrorists alert)

At times of war the concept of Jihad is attacked as being bloodthirsty, barbaric, and evil. The Mujahideen are labelled as men only after one thing, the bloodthirsty killing of western forces and their ultimate enslavement. The western media, in contrast portray the wars initiated by the west to be ‘liberating’ and the western soldiers to be sincere to the cause of the people whose army they are fighting against. This was also the case with the war in Afghanistan.

The western media portray a one sided view of the war in Iraq because they represent and advocate the western colonialist agenda. Ironic as it sounds, the U.S. and British troops never make any mistakes in this war and they are seen as heroes by killing Muslims of the Iraqi army as well as innocent civilians. The reality which the western media hide is that the true terrorists and acts of barbarism are carried out by the US and British troops.

The U.S. and British troops arrest innocent Muslims, they treat them as inhuman, they tie them and cover their heads in a way even animals are not treated, they have forced Muslim women to remove their clothes at their checkpoints, and they arrest old men and women, scare them and humiliate them. Bush said on 12 April, “The people of Iraq are seeing their compassion as our military provides food, water and medical treatment to all in need, including captured Iraqi soldiers. As Army Master Sergeant Howard Kutcher, of Delaware, said of his service in the Middle East, "I am not here to conquer. I am here to help.” Even if these words were repeated a thousand times, the people, especially Muslims would not believe them because of the west’s propaganda to clothe itself in the false garbs of ‘liberators’. Besides, Bush lives in a sheltered world where war is surgical and his soldiers are angelic beings who shower children with sweets rather than bullets.

This attitude of barbarism, extremism and hate towards the Muslims is deeply rooted in the western political circles. When Jack Straw was asked at a press conference recently about the killing of innocent civilians, he acknowledged that there would be innocent Muslims killed. But he justified these killings by saying that the amount of Iraqi lives they would save as a result of removing Saddam would be far greater than those killed in the war. If this is not a barbaric attitude then what is? Although the disbelievers may feel high and mighty, Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’aala) tells us that at the end nothing will avail them;

"Verily, those who disbelieve spend their wealth to hinder (men) from the Path of Allah, and so they will continue to spend it; but in the end it will become an anguish for them. Then they will be defeated". [Al-Anfal:36]

This is a world apart from Jihad, which is the method to convey Islam to humanity and to remove the oppression of man made rule. Jihad is the fight against the kufr armies who stand in front of the army of the Islamic Khilafah State as an obstacle to spreading Islam. Amongst the many rules of Jihad are the following; not to kill innocent people who do not stand as an obstacle to the Islamic army, not to kill the farmers working in the fields and even cutting down trees is forbidden. Indeed the idea of Jihad and its method is the just manner in which wars are fought, not the barbaric manner in which the west wage wars and then try to hide them with their deceiving media reports. The reality of the west and their hatred for the Muslims is no surprise as Allâh (Subhanahu Wa Ta’aala) has told us;

"O ye who believe! Take not into your intimacy those outside your ranks: They will not fail to corrupt you. They only desire your ruin: Rank hatred has already appeared from their mouths: What their hearts conceal is far worse. We have made plain to you the Signs, if you have wisdom." [Aali-Imran 3:118]

The western media portray a one sided view of the war in Iraq because they represent and advocate the western colonialist agenda.

Obviously you have never watched CNN.

Ironic as it sounds, the U.S. and British troops never make any mistakes in this war

Seemed like we goofed a bit on the friendly fire incidents...

and they are seen as heroes by killing Muslims of the Iraqi army as well as innocent civilians.

No, they're seen as heroes for protecting free people and killing those who seek to keep people from being free.

The U.S. and British troops arrest innocent Muslims,

Name one innocent muslim who was arrested. Kind of hard to do, isn't it, considering that the people we arrest were commiting crimes against innocent muslims, or aiding those who did.

they treat them as inhuman,

Untrue- we treat them as human even when they behave worse than animals. Incidentally, we treat our animals better than you treat your fellow muslims.

they tie them

Last time I checked, being tied up was not an indicator of whether or not you are human. Both humans and animals need to be tied up if they are a threat or an escape risk if left untied. It's just common sense. Care to discuss how you muslims chained up Danny Pearl, the Burnhams in the Philippines, Jessica Lynch, or all of those Iraqi people that the Iraqi regime imprisoned for speaking their mind?

and cover their heads in a way even animals are not treated,

You muslims were pretty good at falconry at one time. Covering a falcon's head is a traditional manner of keeping the falcon calm during transport, so that it won't get hurt flapping around, or end up hanging from its jesses. Evidently muslim falconers see nothing wrong with hooding animals, so I suspect you are just making this stuff about muslim virtues up as you go. Covering the head happens to work well with human prisoners too.

Care to discuss the Islamic burqa that some of you Muslims demand that women wear to enable Muslim males to avoid the burden of responsibility for their own lustful behavior?

they have forced Muslim women to remove their clothes at their checkpoints,

That's because muslim males have chosen to use their women as suicide bombers. Those who strap explosives on their woemn have no business griping about it when their women must be viewed with suspicion. First you complain about us making prisoners wear hoods, then you complain when we make people take off veils and other coverings. Go figure!

and they arrest old men and women, scare them and humiliate them.

You must have confused us with your own Arab governments. That's your modus operandi, not ours. Although your governments typically take things much farther than scaring and humiliating people. Lopping off hands, chucking big rocks at bound prisoners, whipping people, jabbing peoplew ith cattle prods, etc, are all things seen in your part of the world.

Bush said on 12 April, “The people of Iraq are seeing their compassion as our military provides food, water and medical treatment to all in need, including captured Iraqi soldiers. As Army Master Sergeant Howard Kutcher, of Delaware, said of his service in the Middle East, "I am not here to conquer. I am here to help.” Even if these words were repeated a thousand times, the people, especially Muslims would not believe them because of the west’s propaganda to clothe itself in the false garbs of ‘liberators’.

Those Muslims who do not believe these things are the sort who need to ask their imam for permission to breathe, and don't have any more capacity for independent thinking than they do for developing their own civilizations above the 12th century level.

Besides, Bush lives in a sheltered world where war is surgical and his soldiers are angelic beings who shower children with sweets rather than bullets.

Nah, he lives in a nation which has decided to direct its efforts towards progress rather than towards suicide bombing. It just peeves you off that we love your children more than you do, and care for their well-being, while you only think of ways to use them as bombs, or sell them off.

This attitude of barbarism, extremism and hate towards the Muslims is deeply rooted in the western political circles.

Actually, we wouldn't even know Muslims exist if it wasn't for your unerring ability to draw attention to yourselves by being insanely violent in a fruitless albeit persistant effort to look more masculine than you are. That you pick fights over some of the dumbest and most unnecessary things is an added attention-getter.

When Jack Straw was asked at a press conference recently about the killing of innocent civilians, he acknowledged that there would be innocent Muslims killed. But he justified these killings by saying that the amount of Iraqi lives they would save as a result of removing Saddam would be far greater than those killed in the war.

And he was right.

If this is not a barbaric attitude then what is?

Barbarism is doing nothing and letting people die or live in misery under the tyrannical rule of an Arab despot in the name of mythical and racist "Arab unity."

Although the disbelievers may feel high and mighty, Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’aala) tells us that at the end nothing will avail them;

Yeah, your Allah might have said that, or at least you believe he did, and every sect of Islam has their own interpretation on what he meant, and you all fight amongst yourselves so much that if it weren't for you having us to hate, you would kill eachother off all by yourselves and there wouldn't be but one muslim left over.

Console yourselves with dreams of revenge if you will, but the fact remains that we won, you lost. You'd be better off if you get over it.

We don't spend our wealth to hinder men from the path of Allah- if anything we enable men to choose to travel the path of Allah or even to travel some other path, as they will. And that's what you don't like- you can't stand it that we enable people to choose any path they please, and that means you can't deny them all other roads but yours.

This is a world apart from Jihad, which is the method to convey Islam to humanity and to remove the oppression of man made rule.

If that's what jihad is supposed to do, how come you Muslims have done such a lousy job of it, while us Juseo-Christian types have done a much better job of removing oppression? Muslim countries are the poster boys for inept man-made rule.

Jihad is the fight against the kufr armies who stand in front of the army of the Islamic Khilafah State as an obstacle to spreading Islam.

Ah, so jihad really isn't about freeing people from man-made rule- it is all about ruling and all about a global oppressive theocratic state, isn't it?

Amongst the many rules of Jihad are the following; not to kill innocent people who do not stand as an obstacle to the Islamic army,

Translation- anyone who is not Islamic - or not Islamic enough- and won't become "pure Islamic" is not seen as innocent and may therefore be killed. To put it bluntly, Muslims like you think that murder is OK merely if a person's OPINION is in opposition to yours.

not to kill the farmers working in the fields

Generally speaking, everyone thinks that killing farmers isn't a bright idea except for communists, who do it as a matter of routine in order to redistribute their wealth and property to the poor in exchange for political support.

and even cutting down trees is forbidden.

If that is true, how come Muslim countries have so few trees? Could it be because of your third-world lifestyle and insistance on raising ungodly quantities of the most destructive species - the king and queen of overgrazers- sheep and goats- on communal lands? The tragedy of the commons has turned Muslim lands into wastelands... where only the most tenacious scrub and trees can grow.

Instead of focusing on not cutting down trees, you should have focused on PLANTING things. Instead of seeking to cling to a sorry status quo, you should be focused on improving things and making the land prosper. You've taken God's gifts and shoved them in mason jars for safekeeping instead of investing them and growing them. In the end, you have done nothing but artificially limit your opportunities.

Indeed the idea of Jihad and its method is the just manner in which wars are fought,

What's just about deliberately attacking pizza parlors, or forcing people to convert at the point of a sword, or putting women to death because some man raped them?

not the barbaric manner in which the west wage wars and then try to hide them with their deceiving media reports.

You only think it barbaric because you aren't able to do it. If you had the ability to wage war like professionals, you would still reject it because it wouldn't be bloody enough to suit your tastes. We make smart bombs in order to reduce the risk of killing noncombatants by increasing accuracy- and when we can choose a smaller and less destructive bomb to do a job we will; if Muslim terrorists had smart bombs, they would frustrated because the wouldn't be destructive enough- mulsims would choose the larger bomb when a smaller one would do.

The reality of the west and their hatred for the Muslims is no surprise as Allâh (Subhanahu Wa Ta’aala) has told us;

Give me a break... as enemies you aren't even worth hating. You rate about as much hatred as a tick on a dog's hind leg.

These are the same words any liar would offer to keep a victim from seeking the truth, as a liar knows his words cannot withstand the blazing light of truth. "Don't listen to anyone but me!" says the liar. "Close your eyes and focus only on me; don't weigh my words against another's."
