Confessions of a Jihadist


This is an amazing piece out of MEMRI. It contains the "story" of two different jihadists that joined the jihad in Iraq.

Now, the first account, one by a terrorist by the name of Abdallah Al-Shayi, was publicized weeks ago as an account of a young Saudi jihadist who was "tricked and abused" by al Qaeda. That is the first part of the article and if you've seen it, just skip over it as it is the second account that you need to really read. That second account is by another young jihadist by the name of Muhibb Al-Sunna. He has a very different story. You really should read the whole piece but I've excerpted a number of details from Al-Sunna's story below.

Warning: Do not read below if you have issues with high blood pressure!

Complete article is here from MEMRI.


Two Testimonies by Young Men Who Went to Wage Jihad in Iraq

Muhibb Al-Sunna Al-Iraqi: "My Beloved Brother Abu Muhammad... Asked Me to Help Him with an Operation... I Could Not Turn Him Down, For I Craved [Allah's]
Reward..."

"Oh Allah, You bear witness that I have never met any purer soul, softer heart, or humbler people than the People of the Tawhid, the Al-Qaeda soldiers - [nor have I met people] tougher in their power, strength, and hatred for the idolaters than the Al-Qaeda soldiers. As Allah is my witness... The group with whom I carried out the operation was not Al-Qaeda or Al-Tawhid Wal Jihad. It was another group known in the area.

"This smiling man, this muhajir whom I met, who smiled when setting his eyes on me... was the Amir of the Martyrs, the Imam, the Muhajir, Abu Mus'ab Al-Zarqawi, may Allah accept him in the uttermost [places of] Paradise...

But] he who puts his trust in Allah and his fate into Allah's hands, and remains patient throughout the trial, knows for sure that the primary goal is the [establishment of the] Islamic state... And if the moment of death is brought closer by Allah, the reward (for the Hijrah) is certain...
