Al Qaeda is thought to be operating an expanding global network of Islamist militants across the Middle East, Europe, Northand East Africa, and in the Americas. Separated ideologically from their females, the males are culturally indoctrinated into hero cults of boys/men.  Daily Islamist drills train them to love death, believing death for jihad (i.e., any struggle to expand the domains of Islamism; holy war) is the only path to a

hero's life - in Paradise.

Daily Islamist drills inculcate, in the earliest childhood formations of self-consciousness of children, a certainty of an Islamist after-life.

In life, they are pledged soldiers in the Army of Paradise.

They are the Ikwan! Warriors of God and His Prophet!

By the time life-loving beings actually become aware of the hungry, many-headed beast that preys upon them, it is often too late.

   DOGMA:    from the Latin < Greek, dokein, to seem, to think > dogmatikos > Latin, dogmaticus > English, dogmatics.

 Dogma is principle, belief or code of beliefs, doctrine or corpus of doctrines asserted as absolutely authoritative and true. Such principles, doctrines or beliefs are proclaimed without proof or reasonable justification and are ultimately based on “faith” in divine revelation in the case of some religious systems of beliefs.

 These theological tenets, dogmata, core beliefs, etc., which are based on ancient pre-Enlightenment, authoritative and arrogant assertions of unproved and unprovable principles, doctrines and beliefs, must be upheld in an unthinking and conformist fashion by the adherents of fundamentalist so-called "Abrahamic" religions — Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

 In the most radical congregations of these religions, the doubting individual’s membership in the faith is put into question and the individual’s well being, liberty and life are put at risk by clerical authorities as he is accused of the dogmatic crimes of infidelity, heresy and/or apostasy if he refuses to recant his disavowal or disputation of the faith.

ISLAMISM: Arabic: ‘ISLÂMIYYA.

Islamic revivalist movements of

regenerative and/or militant fervor.

Characterized by political militancy, zealous

preaching and an intense dissemination of dogma.

—Islamists operate from the principle that the Qur'an (al-Qur'án, presented to humanity by Muhammad as divine relelation), forbids division between religion and government;

—The Qur'an is by faith the unquestionable and immutable word of Allah and so, criticism or reinterpretation of the Qur'an are considered

 blasphemy, punishable by death. If a Muslim converts to another religion, he is guilty of apostasy,

and subject to the penalty of death.

—Beliefs are shaped by moral conservatism, literalism and strict dogmatism in faith and principles passed down by a clerical class through centuries in conjunction with despotic monarchies;

—Jihad operations (Jihadiyya/Holy War) are obligatory for believers and intended to implement (fundamentalist) Islamist values, culture and doctrines throughout the world and in all spheres of life, covertly and overtly, beginning in the Middle East.

Abu Mus'ab Al-Zarqawi was the nickname "nom de guerre" of Ahmad Al-Khalayla, a Jordanian from the city of Al-Zarqaa in Jordan and head of al-Qaeda in Iraq, thought to have been based somewhere in the Al-Anbar province of that nation.

Zarqawi was killed in a U.S. airstrike on a "safehouse" in Hibhib, Iraq on June 7, 2006

On May 18, 2005, Al-Zarqawi released an audiotape address or fatwa* posted on Islamist message forums by ”the media department of Al-Qaeda in Iraq.” The following includes verbatim extracts (in quotes) from that address. *A fatwa is an authoritative opinion or explanation of Islamic law by a Muslim scholar. MEMRI Special Dispatch 917, June 7, 2005

In all Arab nations, and in all the lands of the world, ruling associations of Muslim scholars have issued countless fatwas on almost all political, social and religious matters yet, to date, not one has put forth a single fatwa declaring haraam (forbidden by Islam) the killing of Shiites, of non-Muslims, of innocents, and not one declaring Saddam, bin Laden, Al-Zawahiri or Al-Zarqawi to be infidels for sponsoring such killing.

The whole world bears witness.

STEALTH ASSAULTS ACCELERATE

Bomb blasts rocked popular tourist areas on the island of Bali on Saturday night, October 1, 2005, killing 26 beings of light and injuring some one hundred and thirty, mostly Indonesians, the government and television reports said.

Vest bombs or backpacks carried by Islamikazis in the name of Allah exploded simultaneously and demolished three resturants, two at Jimbaran beach and the third at a shopping center in Kuta, in a patterned operation pointing to well trained operatives of the al Qaeda-linked Jemaa Islamiyah of Indonisia. The explosive devices were packed with nails, glass, etc. for killing people after the model developed in Palestine.

Facilities were crowded at a peak evening dinner hour. Three detached heads were found, presumably of the terrorists, giving hope to investigators for identifying them. Photos of the heads circulated in newspapers.

The Bali tourist industry has been recovering from a terrorist attack near Kuta by this organization in October 2002 which killed over 200.

ATTACKS ON THE INNOCENTS

The summer of 2005 C.E. saw an escalation in the overt operations of the Islamist operatives and assassins (warriors of political Islam) in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere.  After striking in London in two coordinated attacks (the last of which failed) they struck Egyptian seaside resorts at Sharm al Sheikh in the evening of July 22, 2005 with a series of 4 to 7 car bomb attacks in a line from the Old Market area. It was a Friday night packed with tourists of many nations, of whom over 60 died and over 200 were wounded. The attack came just 24 hours after the landing of the U.S. Secretary of State in this, an area of the world undergoing a chaotic phase of political transformation. These bombings follow an October 7, 2005 al Qaeda strike of three bombers at resorts on the Red Sea, including the Taba Hilton, near the border with Egypt in the northern Sinai. Thirty four beings of light died in the explosions, including a large percentage of Israelis. In another event, 100 or so died in Syria when a busload of armed men opened fire on crowded cafés and restaurants in the Mount Qassioun resort overlooking Damascus. Syrian officials have not been forthcoming with details.

Also, a major plot to inflict heavy damage at oil terminals on the Jordan-Iraqi border was thwarted, supposedly by the Jordanians. These terminals are the major and critical points on the main energy lifeline from Jordan to the American fortress-hub called the Green Zone in Baghdad, and to its satellites. 

Also in Jordan in November 2005, al-Qaeda claimed responsibility for suicide attacks on three international hotels, setting off anti-al-Qaeda demonstrations in the streets. (Click to See Jordon in the World of Qur'an).

A rise in electronic "chatter" and other indicators have led experts to believe that the terrorist organization is planning for other major actions soon. Some assert that Osama is even now on his way to Iraq with the intention to launch his biggest offensive against the U.S. armed forces. The psychological effect of his presence in Iraq together with such a landmark battle would transform the Islamist warfare in that nation from a mere hit-or-miss guerilla campaign to a fight to the finish for al Qaeda.

new al-qaeda base in Gaza, Palestine

Jihadists entering in droves

In early August 2005 al Qaeda announced the formation in Gaza of "Al Qaeda-Palestine, Jihad Brigades in the Border Land," - the land on the border of Israel, enemy of Islamism.  This new Islamist tentacle is believed to be in action already, having claimed responsibility for firing rockets into Israeli communities. The numerous Palestinian Islamist leaders operating from Damascus are said to have relocated to Gaza after the Israli pull-out was completed.  Zarqawi recently said that "Israel is in our sights – and very soon." The soldiers of Allah are said to be focused mostly on establishing themselves in the affairs of the Palestinians, especially in Gaza
