ALBAWABA.com - The Middle East Gateway: "IRANIAN CLERIC CALLS IRAQIS TO LAUNCH SUICIDE ATTACKS AGAINST U.S. FORCES" (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A leading Iranian conservative cleric said the Iraqi people have no other choice but to rise up against occupying US troops and stage suicide attacks to force them out of Iraq. "The Iraqi people are finally coming to understand that the solution is an uprising, and they have no other choice but to rise up and stage martyrdom operations," said Ahmad Janati, secretary general of the Guardians Council, in a sermon during Friday prayers. "This is the only solution; they are learning from the experience of Palestine," he added. "What we want from them is unity, taking sanctuary in mosques, following the clerics' path and making continued efforts to drive the enemy out of Iraq," he said. Janati charged that the Americans want to "feed (Iraqis) democracy from their gun points and if they fear from death, they will have to surrender."") (May 5, 2003) (Read More...)

ISLAM ONLINE.net - Fatwa Applications - Ask The Scholar - Question from a person from Canada - Topic: "JIHAD AGAINST THE U.S. LED FORCES: MASS SUICIDE?" (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Dear questioner, we commend your pursuit of knowledge and we earnestly implore Allah to bless your efforts in this honorable way. First of all, we would like to state that perhaps the US and its allies have attained some benefits by invading Iraq. However, this does not mean that they managed to defeat Islam. Hence, Muslims have to resist the invading forces by all possible means. They must not ever yield to pessimism and desperation and submit to the authority of those invaders as some authors in their works encourage Muslims to do nowadays. Sticking to the Islamic teachings, Muslims will defeat all evil forces and Allah will give them victory over their enemies. But let Muslims exert their best efforts. Responding to your question, Sheikh Faysal Mawlawi, Deputy Chairman of the European Council for Fatwa and Research, states the following: “It is improper for a Muslim to say that fighting against the invading enemy is mass suicide, for this accordingly means to submit to the enemies of Islam who are stronger than Muslims. In fact, fighting against the enemies who are invading Muslim countries is a legal obligation, and whoever gets killed in the course of such fighting is a martyr or shahid in the Cause of Allah. Muslims are enjoined to prepare whatever they can to resist invading forces, not to refrain from jihad until they prepare an army comparable to the enemy forces. Referring to this, Allah Almighty says: “Make ready for them all thou canst of (armed) force.” (Al-Anfal: 60) In this Qur’anic verse, Allah Almighty directs Muslims to the fact that by preparing all possible means of resistance, they will dismay the enemy. The rest of the foregoing verse says: “Make ready for them all thou canst of (armed) force and of horses tethered, that thereby ye may dismay the enemy of Allah and your enemy.” (Al-Anfal: 60)" (April 24, 2003)
With only 7 percent of immigration and 2 percent of visits to the USA coming from Islamic countries, yet providing 100 percent of our terrorism problem - why in the name of G-d, hasn't this relatively small, totally optional, flow of aliens been ended?
