Jihadist Forum Member Compels Direct Action Independent of al-Qaeda

Of course, as we have pointed out here innumerable times, it has never been all about Al-Qaeda anyway. Note the jab at more peaceful Muslims: this is the kind of appeal they must refute. From the SITE Institute, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:

A member of a password-protected al-Qaeda affiliated forum recently posted a message chastising potential mujahideen for calling upon al-Qaeda and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi to carry out attacks against offensive people or events. The author characterizes these people making grand threats of Allah's retribution, but then expecting al-Qaeda to sweep down and carry out the punishments....

The author points out that jihad is not limited to Zarqawi and al-Qaeda, and those Muslims who believe that they were not “ordered by the Shari’a to go for jihad” should be ashamed.

You can read a translation of the message by subscribing to SITE's Intel Service.
