The Jihad Tourist: "May God Accept Him"

In my book Onward Muslim Soldiers I discuss how jihadists move from country to country to fight in the latest jihad. Here is another example: a portion of a jihadist document that appears in Der Spiegel, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist. Spiegel's heading: "He fought in Tajikistan, Chechnya and Bosnia, sat in Saudi Arabia in prison and died in Kurdistan: Suhail al-Sahil was one of the veterans of the international jihad."

This is the story of the leader of the mujahedeen in Kurdistan, Suhail al-Sahli from the land of the two holy cities (editor's note: Saudia Arabia), one of the pure and committed members of the community of faithful. (...)

He was raised by parents of integrity, in the spirit of integrity and faith towards God. God enjoyed showing him the way to jihad. The first jihad battlefield on which he set foot was in Tajikistan. On the way there, he had to overcome many obstacles. He was still young in years when he arrived, (...) but his good heart and faith made him stand out. There was nothing bad about him. He joined the community of Ja'qub al-Bahr, may God accept him! He was injured, losing some of his ability to see. (...) God later had mercy on him, and corrected his sight....

As things began moving ahead in Iraq, (...) he flew to Kurdistan. The mujahedeen there were overjoyed at his arrival (...) because of his wealth of experience in jihad. (...) They unanimously chose him to lead the local Arab troops. During a battle with the Peshmerga fighters (editor's note: Kurdish troops) and the hypocrites, he stood like a lion (...) and fell as a martyr on the path to God. The scent of musk spread and everyone could smell it and so ended one page in the pages (in a book) of the mujahedeen. (...)

There is no way we can control the OTM (other than Mexican) immigration with our current border policy. But this is obvious to anyone not in government.

Good to know that your International Jihadist has yet to learn basic military tactics - like taking cover when being fired upon.

Standing up in a firefight, while truly excellent for martyr potential, is not a long-term battlefield survival plan.

As far as I can see, intelligence or a lack of ignorance are only handicaps for a Muslim "jihadist". The businessmen in Saudi (like the Nazi moneymen) are only looking for power. They never put their lives at risk.

May the Arabian moon-god idol, al-lah, turn this piece of filth into a rock that sits and gathers dust in oblivion for all eternity along with Ahmadinejad and the billions of other 'Muslim' killer-zombies that are unnecessary in this universe and all others.

good riddance. One wonders how the law of Darwin did not catch up to him sooner, if he made a habit of 'standing up like a lion' during firefights.

It might not lead to survival in battle, but the reckless disregard for life is a battlefield advantage..

Ask any gyrene or troop that fought the VC and NVA, the scariest part about them was that they didn't act scared, they kept on coming like ants.

And while at it read Kohlmans Al Qaida's Jihad in Europe: The Afghan Bosnian Network (link to Evan Kohlmann's blog and book)

In it he relates a German mercenary, not a Muslim, who had fought on the side of the Bosnians, he said that he had seen the mujahideen in action and it scared him, and to this day he still gets nightmares.

I would pay money for the ability to be fighting along side my brothers in the US Marine Corps.

They are fighting an enemy that is the textbook definition of evil. The enemy is without humanity and they deserve nothing but the most brutal and unimagineable death possible. I pray that our troops can capture some of these cockroaches outside of eye and ear shot of the higher ups and that they inflict the most painful and agonizing beating on them that is possible. You would be amazed at what one can do with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. My only hope is that our enemy is meeting their joyful demise in the most painful and agonizing death that is humanly possible. My only regret is that the ones that have been killed did not suffer a thousand times more than they did.

This development is not nothing new. It perhaps started in Kashmir when Islamist mercenaries were infiltrated by Pakistan way back in 1989-90. Some of these mercenaries are the hardened criminals in their respective countries while majority are the unemployed, unemployable and some of them for the sake of adventure join the bandwagon of terrorists. The host population has to pay dearly for inviting these blood-thirsty savages who are out to commit rape with the female family members of their host. Regrettably, they were glamorised by the western press who were also out to fabricate stories besides genuine reporting. A white paper is urgently required to highlight the role of these journalists some of whom were from the New York Times, the Washington Post, the BBC,the Guardian etc.
