In an article titled "Blended Duality: Muslim and American" appearing in the eighth issue of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula's (AQAP) English-language magazine Inspire, American-born jihadi Samir Khan criticized the Muslim community in the U.S. for largely sacrificing its religion for the sake of a comfortable life there. He claimed that a Muslim could not truly reconcile loyalty to Islam with being "proud of being American," adding that there was nothing about America in which Muslims could take pride. He called on the Muslims to emulate those mujahideen who had come out of the U.S.

Samir Khan, who wrote for and was involved in the production of Inspire, was killed in September 2011 in Yemen, alongside his mentor, Yemeni-American jihadi cleric Anwar Al-Awlaki.

Following is the article in the original English, which has been lightly edited for clarity:

"As the tenth anniversary of the September [9/11] attacks passe[s] us, the much-reformed Muslim identity in America continues to search for itself a place in an imbalanced world. It is a world that says that faith and country should coalesce into a culturally accepted manifestation of religion inevitably, a secular world that most Muslim-Americans feel obliged to be enslaved in.

"While the world watches the revolutions taking place [throughout] the Muslim lands, one can't help but feel the inconsistency in the doctrine of the 'moderate' Muslims in America. It wasn't long ago that they were inherently opposed to taking up such antagonistic stances against any status quo. Life for the Muslim Americans really meant struggle without sacrifice, preferring an enemy's ballot box to receiving his bullet. But because their own kind have achieved major stripes of success back home namely, an end to the fear of tyrants the Muslim American community felt the need to show that open support for them.

"A contradiction of principles perhaps? A new way forward? If truth be told, it's more like they have found themselves deeper in the Muslim-American dilemma['s] grave which they've dug up for themselves.

"Earlier this month, the BBC ran a two-part segment [called] 'American Muslim,' which displayed the distance Muslims have gone in letting go of their religion and the efforts they've made in proudly exhibiting that. All of that trouble for nothing, really. The rightwing is on the rise in the political sphere and is not planning on building any bridges with the Muslim community; in fact, they only intend to make matters worse for them. And everyone knows that getting into the upper echelons of government as a traditional practicing Muslim is troublesome, as it will never extinguish the suspicions and anger surrounding those who reject the Muslim faith. Even some of the most highly educated are no exception. This racial culture exists in every rank and file of the American civil population.

"In view of the fact that the Muslim Americans are an inexperienced and impressionable community that doesn't learn from its early history in the Muslim lands, it's needless to say that it will continue to be in an identity predicament much like a midlife crisis. Much of the American Islam is fashioned by how the Muslims view themselves [through the eyes of] outsiders. It has even come to the point where scholars [issue fatwas] in favor of the American army so that a Muslim would be unable to penetrate it from within. This is on account of their fear of living a difficult life; [giving up their] religion thus appeared a less formidable alternative for them.

"The BBC documentary concluded by showing that the duality of being Muslim and American is feasible, by quoting Congressman Keith Ellison as saying that if a five year old Muslim dreamt of becoming president, that shouldn't be a problem. Apparently, it was said in defense of everyone's right in America to be as they wish and [of the notion] that a person's religious choice should not be the determining factor in whether or not that dream can come true. The problem with this is that people like Keith are trying to erase that line - that is, the boundary set by Allah between halal and haram, and as a result between Islam and kufr. Although not all 'moderate' Muslims may agree with Keith on every issue, they support the fundaments of erasing that very line nonetheless.

"The implication of this is that it runs into a multitude of problems and clashes with the Kitab [i.e. the Koran] and Sunnah. For example, even though Allah says it's a necessity to rule by shari'ah, it is entirely irrelevant to these people to judge by His law. Becoming one of the 'fasiqun,' 'dhalimun' and 'kafirun' (as is stated in Surah Al-Ma'idah) seemingly doesn't cause much worry to these Muslims. There are countless examples of this subtle attitude of 'I don't care what God says; I'm a Muslim-American,' found not only [among] ordinary Muslims but in their organizations, imams, and leaders. When the layers are peeled off, one by one, it comes down to Muslims throwing the Koran behind their backs similar to the way Allah described the Jews in Surah Al-Jum'ah.

"To say one is proud of being American is not merely a cultural declaration but one of allegiance. With that said, are they proud of how the American heritage commenced with the slaughter of the Native Americans? Are they proud of having a riba-based economy that makes the rich richer and poor poorer and exploits the wider world, especially the LDCs (Less Developed Countries) through some of its major corporations? Are they proud of associating themselves with a nation that continues to maim and kill the ummah around the world, both directly and indirectly? Are they proud of paying taxes that are converted into bullets and missiles that penetrate the bodies and homes of the downtrodden Palestinian Muslims? Or are they proud of being American because being one welcomes cowardice and hiding one's head under the sand [as] conventional behavior, while the real problems [prevail] throughout the Muslim lands?

"To be a Muslim is one thing, while to be an American is another. To be the latter is to undertake what Allah detests and to overlook the religious texts for the sake of creation. The mujahideen that have come from America have been exceptional role models for the rest of the ummah there. They risked their lives for a greater cause, evocative of the transition of the Sahaba's lives in their rejection of the Quraysh's leadership for the favorable acceptance of Muhammad's guidance. They became landless for the sake of fighting for the construction of an Islamic one."

"The chief aim of all government is to preserve the freedom of the citizen. His control over his person, his property, his movements, his business, his desires should be restrained only so far as the public welfare imperatively demands. The world is in more danger of being governed too much than too little. It is the teaching of all history that liberty can only be preserved in small areas. Local self-government is, therefore, indispensable to liberty. A centralized and distant bureaucracy is the worst of all tyranny. Taxation can justly be levied for no purpose other than to provide revenue for the support of the government. To tax one person, class or section to provide revenue for the benefit of another is none the less robbery because done under the form of law and called taxation." John W. Davis, Democratic Presidential Candidate, 1924. Davis was one of the greatest trial and appellate lawyers in US history. He also served as the US Ambassador to the UK.

america says = Pissing on dead bodies cool
Islam says = not cool

Pakistan Airforce: The largest distributor of Indian airforce parts in Asia



Pathankot Strike
8 F-86Fs of No 19 Squadron led by Squadron Leader Sajjad Haider struck Pathankot airfield. With carefully positioned dives and selecting each individual aircraft in their protected pens for their strafing attacks, the strike elements completed a textbook operation against Pathankot. Wing Commander M G Tawab, flying one of the two Sabres as tied escorts overhead, counted 14 wrecks burning on the airfield. Among the aircraft destroyed on the ground were nearly all of the IAFs Soviet-supplied Mig-21s till then received, none of which were seen again during the War.

Yeah pissing on dead enemies is not cool.

Flying airplanes into civilian buildings and suicide bombings are cool.

No wonder you'll stick with Islam, or at least hide behind it like the cowards do.

Blowing up your own citizens building and blaming it on some group of people to create fear and a reason to go war at is not cool either.

This pan-islamism has been a major problem and a growing one everywhere. Even though there are a few muslims even in India who consider country above religion and the two can co-exist, they have always been a minority. You can see muslims cheering a muslim country in cricket/football matches against their own country. This is purely disgusting.

These dangerous parasites undo the host state from inside taking advantage of left leaning liberal state. In reality they should be expelled immediately to Saudi or Afghan or Turkey etc.

American state knew this long ago, but they thought they are somehow immune to it, especially considering their muslim population is very small. But majority american population were ignorant until 911.

A true muslim's first priority is islam and pan-islamism. And more radical ones who are growing fast would llike to destroy the infidel state and create a pan-islamic state even though subgroups among themselves keep slaughtering each other. Everybody in any infidel state should be aware of this fact.

And you can always ignore what the b1tt hurt and hypocritical Prady says.

Blowing up your own citizens building and blaming it on some group of people to create fear and a reason to go war at is not

I have a standing offer of $500 to anyone who can provide evidence that supports this nonsense. That offer has now stood for at least two years without anyone being able to claim it. Are you going to prove such a claim. Of course you're not. I guess for some who claim to be Muslim, making up things to absolve others who claim to be Muslim of guilt, it's not only cool, but required. Are you one of those, Ataurk?

Find a pilot and ask how a new trained pilot can crash the airplane greatly to the Tower if it is highly possible it is ok and ask your government what was the connection between Saddam and El kaide...how Obama came and killed osama because he is so smaart or policy of USA changed...how a jewish hater great planer of the attacks choose the saturday to keep safe the jewsihes???and where is the plane which crashed the pentagon ?and why there are hundred of camera record around pentagon?and how they crash the planed restoration part of pentagon???and more...One more Islam ban the suicide and also civilian killings...a bunch of stupid cant be representative of Islam...You want to see the facts not with your logic but with your feelings...

I'm open to your evidence, Alex. A litany of suspicions, wholly unsupported by evidence, merely ads up to suspicion. Feel free to post your evidence and claim your money. Until then, all of this drivel is silly.

Do you have evidence that el kaide or osama bin laden attacked the Towers??As you know Osama is ex CIA agent worked for USA ; can you image that Cia is so naive that didnt watch him after his mission finished,maybe his mission changed and someone told him be an USA enemy that was his new mission...Even if Turkey some PKK terrorist organization's leader was working for National intelligent service and also they organized attack to look like real...Im sure CIA always watching their workers...Osama was already treatened USA and do you thik CIA couldnt watch him...Without help Osama couldnot do any ****...

It's the same thing with Catholics nothing new.

"Find a pilot and ask how a new trained pilot can crash the airplane greatly to the Tower..."

This has been debunked many times here on WAFF, most recently see exhaustive exchange between Bluewolf and I here...

...see jj's final post...the information is out there, it is just contrary to the comfortable lie of being victim which you seem to be wrapping yourself in as a security blanket to keep yourself from having to accept the true shared reality that exists in the world today.

---

There are many misspoints and you say that you see the realities...In this case everything is too complicated...If you say i know all it means you know nothing...

Its really annoying when people who have no clue about anything post conspiracy crap in front of people who saw the actual events from their own eyes. Yes i saw the planes going in as i was 20 blocks from the WTC and had a clear view of them and yes im a licensed pilot so its very much possible. Geez
