Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Online jihadist forums teach how to manufacture poisons, weapons, and explosives

May 8, 2008 12:30 am By Marisol Seibold

And note the quotations from the Qur’an and ahadith which they offer to justify and encourage those activities. For associating violence with Islam, they must be a real bunch of Islamophobes, right?

“Islamist Forums Teach Mujahideen How to Manufacture and Use Explosives, Weapons, and Poisons,” by D. Nagy for MEMRI, May 8:

In recent years jhihadist organizations have been using the Internet for purposes of indoctrination, propaganda, recruitment and maintaining morale among the mujahideen. In addition, Internet forums provide venues not only for sharing views, but for exchanging information that serves the operative needs of the mujahideen, such as guidance in guerilla warfare techniques, and information on manufacturing and using explosives, weapons, and poisons.

Such information is often posted in special Al-‘Udda Wal-I’dad (Equipment and Preparation)( [1] ) sections of numerous jihadist forums, including Shabakat Al-Firdaws Al-Jihadiyya (www.al-firdaws.org ),( [2] ) Shabakat Al-Ma’arik Al-Salafiyya (www.m3ark.com ),( [3] ) Shabakat Al-Mujahideen Al-Elektroniyya (www.majahden.com ),( [4] ) Shabakat Shumoukh Al-Islam (www.shmo5alislam.net ),( [5] ) Minbar Al-Battar Al-I’lami (www.albatar.1talk.net ),( [6] ) Mawqi’ Al-Muhajir Al-Islami (www.asia.geocities.com/mohajerlb ),( [7] ) and others.( [8] )

It is worth noting that #4 is registered through GoDaddy.com, and as of 10pm PDT, is still available, as is the Geocities page (omit the “www” from the URL).

In addition to postings dealing with weapons and warfare, Al-‘Udda Wal-‘Idad sections also include messages on a wide range of other topics relevant to terrorist activity, from forging documents to techniques for withstanding interrogation. Most of the material is translated into Arabic from non-Arabic sources It should be noted that Islamist sites without an Al-‘Udda Wal-I’dad section also present military information of this type, on other sections of their sites.

The following message, posted on Al-Firdaws by a member calling himself Al-Battar, shows the importance forum members attribute to the content on the Al-‘Udda Wal-I’dad sections: “…Looking through several threads on this forum and on others, I discovered that the young [members] write about various topics without knowing anything [about them]… [So] it is your sacred duty to convey [information about] them to our brothers the mujahideen…

“[The Koran says:] ‘And prepare against them what force you can and horses harnessed for battle, to strike terror into [the hearts of] the enemies of Allah and your enemies and others besides them, whom you do not know (but) Allah knows them [Koran 8:60].’

“Allah’s Messenger, peace and prayers be upon him, interpreted the word ‘force’ in this verse to mean ‘shooting’… So ‘force’ refers to shooting (arrows, catapults, guns, pistols, cannon, or rockets of various types). Of all these weapons, we [should] use the ones that inspire the most fear, as mentioned in the verse. In other words, if today there are advanced weapons, which cause more damage [than the weapons of the Prophet’s day], we [must] be prepared to obtain and [use] them, even if the only way to obtain them is to learn how to make them [ourselves]…

A far cry from “Better Living Through Chemistry.”
