How to become a terrorist – a
practical guide
There are various paths to
becoming a terrorist, or more specifically an Islamic Jihadist terrorist, but
the one you will learn here is by far the most common one. The people most likely to excel as terrorists
are usually the most kind, considerate, conscientious, community-minded people,
and who have successful academic achievements at graduate level or higher. But others also stand something of a chance
in this career-path.
It is a great help if you
can be born into a family of people who are by long tradition Muslims (or who
at least believe they are Muslims). The
best families are those which are integrated within a whole community of fellow
believers, with a strong belief in kindness and tolerance of others and strong
belief that Islam is a noble religion of peace, founded by the peaceful Prophet
Mohammed (peace be upon Him) for the benefit of all mankind.
It further
helps if you can grow up in a country where all the politicians and media
universally endorse this reality of Islam being a wonderful religion of
peace. Ideally, leading thinkers such
as Sadiq Khan and Professor Mona Siddiqi should make you very familiar with the
noble quotation of Qur’an 5:32, that “If anyone killed a person it would be as
if he had killed all mankind, and if he saved a life it would be as if he had
saved the life of all mankind”.
It is even
better if any people who assert that Islam is not a religion of
peace and kindness, or even claim that the Prophet (pbuh) was some sort of
violent criminal, are all silenced by laws prohibiting hate speech and
islamophobic slurs.
After some
years of this optimal background and foreground, you will have come to a firm
understanding that the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) is the most excellent person in
history, whose conduct you should strive earnestly to emulate. And that the Qur’an is the most marvellous
perfect word of Allah himself, the final message of Allah, which you should
consider your supreme guidance in life.
Once you have
firmly established these principles in your understanding of life, the
universe, and everything, then you are ready to move on to the next stage of
becoming a terrorist.
This second
stage begins when you decide to be even more conscientious and devout, and to
study more carefully the guidance of the noble Qur’an and the example of the
holy Prophet (pbuh). Not least you
notice that that famous quotation of Qur’an 5:32 was grossly misleading,
because it was not the whole verse. And
that the whole verse was really stating itself to be a command only to “the
Children of Israel”, that is only to the Jews and not a command to
Muslims:
“On
that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if anyone
killed a person - unless
it be in retaliation for murder or for spreading mischief in the land -
it would be as if he killed all mankind: and if anyone saved a life, it would
be as if he saved the life of all humanity.”
And you
notice that nowhere in Allah’s perfect Qur’an does it say that that verse also
applies to Muslims, in none of its thousands of other verses. Indeed, there are no verses which prohibit
Muslims from killing non-Muslims. And
furthermore numerous other verses appear to outrighty contradict such a
prohibition (as will be discussed further on).
In your deepening study
of the true Islam, you next notice that many verses tell you that Allah is
All-Powerful, and can do anything (2:106; 2:148; 3:73, and many others). As such there is no way that Allah could have
a communication handicap. And his
perfect book especially cannot be defective in its communication. So there can be no question of it needing to
be “interpreted” by any mere humans. It
is explicitly Allah’s Final Testament, thereby refuting any speculation that
some asserted Imam or other has authority to subsequently substitute other
words in the mouth of Allah. Not least
considering that the perfect Qur’an gives no directions on how to identify any
such authorised “interpreter”. So the
Qur’an must mean simply what it rather obviously says. And the language is quite clear enough in
plenty of places.
Furthermore Muslims are not allowed to pick and
choose which verses they accept. Rather
they must accept all of them, as verses 2:85-6 make clear:
“....Believe you in part of the Scripture and
disbelieve you in part thereof? And
what is the reward of those who do so save ignominy in the life of the world,
and on the Day of Resurrection they will be consigned to the most grievous
doom. .... Their punishment will not be lightened, neither will they have
support.”
The next stage of your becoming an Islamic Jihad
terrorist is your continued study to learn precisely what is the message Allah
is giving you, what commands you should be following from his Qur’an. You will note that some verses are making
clear that you should participate in Jihad fighting. And that this Jihad warfare is not just defensive, but involves
capturing women and booty and slaves, and invading countries and communities
which are not at the time attacking your own:
(And you understand that no, these verses are not
“taken out of context”, they mean what they mean.)
“It is not for any
Prophet to have captives until he has made a great slaughter in the land.”
[8:67]
“Married women are forbidden to you except the captives
your right (sword) hand possesses.” [4:24]
“O Prophet! We have made
lawful to you your wives … and those whom your right (sword) hand possesses of
the captives of war whom Allah has assigned to you.” [33:50].
“It is not allowed you to
take other women henceforth nor that you should change them for other wives
even though their beauty pleased you, except for those whom your right hand
possesses.” [33:52]
“Allah promises you will
capture much booty.” [48:20]
“One-fifth of your spoils of
war shall belong to Allah, the Apostle, the Apostle's kinsfolk, the orphans,
the destitute, and the traveler in need.” [8:41]
“And that which Allah gives as spoil unto His
messenger from them, you urged not any horse or riding-camel for the sake
thereof [i.e. you did no work to earn it], but Allah gives His messenger
lordship over whom he will. Allah is
able to do all things.”[59:6]
"The spoils of war
taken from the town-dwellers and assigned by Allah to His apostle shall belong
to Allah, to the Apostle and his kinsfolk, .....” [59:7]
Other verses make clear that people were reluctant
to involve in fighting and that Mohammed/Allah was encouraging them to fight
even when they did not see any need for it (and so it was not just fighting to
defend themselves):
“Fighting
is prescribed for you, and you dislike it. But it is possible that you dislike
a thing which is good for you, and that you love a thing which is bad for you.
But Allah knows, and you know not.” [2:216]
“Have
you not seen those unto whom it was said: Withhold your hands and establish
worship and pay the poor-due? But when fighting was prescribed for them,
behold! a party of them fear mankind even as they fear Allah or with greater
fear, and they say: Our Lord! why have you ordained fighting for us? If only you
would give us respite for a while. I Say: The comfort of this world is scant;
the Hereafter will be better for he who wards off evil.” [4:77]
“You shall be called upon to
fight a mighty nation, unless they accept Islam.” [48:16]
And more verses call you to this warfare, not
least:
“Whoever
fights in the way of Allah, be he slain or victorious, on him we shall bestow a
vast reward.” [4:74]
“Muhammad
is the messenger of Allah. Those who follow him are merciful to one another,
but ruthless to disbelievers.” [48:29]
“O
you who believe! Fight those of the non-Muslims who are near to you and let
them find harshness in you.” [9:123]
“Surely
the vilest of animals in Allah's sight are those who disbelieve.” [8:55]
“If anyone desires a religion other than Islam, it
will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of
the losers.” [3:85]
And also you will note that
the Qur’an word commonly translated as “fighting” is not “jihad” but instead קָטַל(qatal)
which would be more accurately translated as “kill” (or fight as in a battle
rather than a street brawl).
And
you notice that this hostility towards the disbelievers is the main theme of
the Qur’an. And that the very few
relatively “peaceful” verses date from before the Prophet (pbuh) took control
of Medina to found the original Islamic State, after which they were abrogated
by the later more violence-commanding ones. (Allah says he abrogates verses
(changes his mind) in Qur’an 2:106.)
By following this path, you
can successfully end up as an Islamic Jihadist terrorist. You will understand that the Qur’an is
commanding you to terrorise those who refuse to believe, to wage war against
them and capture and take ownership of their booty and women and take them
forcibly as your wives. Even expelling
whole townships after chopping down their precious food trees (Qur’an 59:2-7).
But meanwhile it is important that you avoid
certain serious errors which could deflect you from successfully becoming a terrorist. Especially you must avoid asking
inappropriate questions which can only confuse you. For instance:
Why are just about all the
Islamic countries such social and economic failures from which the citizens
eagerly flee? Why after 1400 years of
Jihad are there more disbelievers than ever?
Why all those inventions by non-Muslims?
Why did Allah write only in
Arabic? Why so much confusion about peace or violence? (even among Arabic
speakers). Did Allah have a low IQ?
Why didn’t the All-Powerful
Allah just deliver his message direct to each of us rather than grant an
exclusive monopoly to an ancient Arab merchant? Wouldn’t it have saved so much bother?
Why so many verses about
disbelievers? And those who pretend to
believe? Why would anyone want to
disbelieve Allah’s wonderful revelation anyway, let alone sneakily only pretend
to believe it? Indeed, considering how
his book is so angrily preoccupied with many people refusing to believe in his
existence, did Allah have a problem of low self-esteem?
Why does the perfect Qur’an say that man was
created from a blood clot [96:1-2], from water [25:54], from clay [15:26], from
dust [30:20], and from nothing [3:47]?
Why “Every being that is in the heavens and on
earth: all are devoutly obedient to Him.” [30:26] … but the Qur’an also
makes hundreds of references to those who are not obedient [2:11-20, 3:10-12,
etc etc] and the horrors that await them?
Why is the Islamic year so
inaccurate, even though 600 years earlier Julius Caesar had already got the
year accurate to a fraction of a day?
Why does the Qur’an command to “strictly observe the fast till
nightfall” [2:187] when that can mean fasting for weeks continuously in Polar
regions?
Why does the perfect Qur’an
say that a man went to the “places” where the sun rises and sets [18:86,
18:90]?.
Why does the Qur’an never
speak of the Earth being a globe but only of it being like a flat carpet rolled
out [5:19, 20:53, 43:10, 50:7, 51:48, 71:19, 78:6, 79:30, 88:20, 91:6]?
Could it be that Allah had
only ever lived in Arabia and consequently only knew about his own flat earth
polar-less winter-less universe?
Could it be that Islam is
just a hoax of nonsense invented by one power-seeking man and enforced ever
since with terrorism and fear of deadly violence? Indeed, what persuaded you to become a Muslim yourself?
It is important to avoid
asking yourself these questions.
Also it’s very important to
disbelieve the reports of millions of Muslims converting to Christianity, and
keep well away from apostate groups such as FaithToFaithless, the
Council of Ex‑Muslims, and so on.
Anyway,
In peace.
