Al-Qaradhawi Speaks In Favor of Suicide Operations at an Islamic Conference
in Sweden
During the first week of July 2003, the European Council for Fatwa and
Research convened in Stockholm for its 11th session. The council, which was
established in 1997 in the U.K., is comprised primarily of Islamic scholars
from the Arab world and is headed by Sheikh Yousef Al-Qaradhawi, one of the
most influential clerics in Sunni Islam and amongst Islamist groups and
organizations. The council convenes every few months in a European city to
conduct discussions and issue Fatwas on questions concerning Muslim
communities in the West. Following differences of opinion on the matter of
suicide bombings during the previous session (convened in Dublin in January
2003), the council decided to research the matter and bring it up for
discussion at the July session.
Though the Stockholm conference was called "Jihad and Denying its Connection
to Terror," the five reports that were presented focused on dictionary
definitions of the word "terror." The London-based Arabic language daily
Al-Sharq Al-Awsat(1) reported at length on the research by Sheikh
Al-Qaradhawi, who classified terror according to the following categories:
colonialist terror, state terror, international terror, political terror,
terror that is permitted by Islamic law, terror that is prohibited by
Islamic law, and martyrdom operations. The following are excerpts from the
report:
Martyrdom Operations
"The martyrdom operations carried out by the Palestinian factions to resist
the Zionist occupation are not in any way included in the framework of
prohibited terrorism, even if the victims include some civilians."
"This is for several reasons:"
"First of all, due to the colonialist, occupational, racist, and
[plundering] nature of Israeli society, it is, in fact, a military society.
Anyone past childhood, man or woman, is drafted into the Israeli army. Every
Israeli is a solider in the army, either in practical terms or because he is
a reservist soldier who can be summoned at any time for war. This fact needs
no proof. Those they call 'civilians' are in effect 'soldiers' in the army
of the sons of Zion."
"Second, Israeli society has a unique trait that makes it different from the
other human societies, and that is that as far as the people of Palestine
are concerned, it is a 'society of invaders' who came from outside the
region - from Russia or America, from Europe or from the lands of the
Orient - to occupy Palestine and settle in it..."
"Those who are invaded have the right to fight the invaders with all means
at their disposal in order to remove [the invaders] from their homes and
send them back to the homes from whence they came... This is a Jihad of
necessity, as the clerics call it, and not Jihad of choice... Even if an
innocent child is killed as a result of this Jihad - it was not intended,
but rather due to the necessities of the war... Even with the passage of
time, these [Israeli] so-called 'civilians' do not stop being invaders,
evil, tyrants, and oppressors..."
"Third... It has been determined by Islamic law that the blood and property
of people of Dar Al-Harb [the Domain of Disbelief where the battle for the
domination of Islam should be waged] is not protected. Because they fight
against and are hostile towards the Muslims, they annulled the protection of
his blood and his property."
"Fourth, the Muslim clerics, or most of them, have agreed that it is
permissible to kill Muslims if the army that attacks the Muslims hides
behind them, that is, uses them as barricades or human shields, and sets
them at the front so that the fire, arrows, or spears of the Muslims will
harm them first. The clerics have permitted the defenders to kill these
innocent Muslims, who were forced to stand at the head of the army of their
enemies... Otherwise the invading army will enter and annihilate their
offspring and their harvests. There was no choice but to sacrifice some [of
the Muslims] in order to defend the entire [Muslim] community... Therefore,
if it is permitted to kill innocent Muslims who are under coercion in order
to protect the greater Muslim community, it is all the more so permissible
to kill non-Muslims in order to liberate the land of the Muslims from its
occupiers and oppressors."
"Fifth, in modern war, all of society, with all its classes and ethnic
groups, is mobilized to participate in the war, to aid its continuation, and
to provide it with the material and human fuel required for it to assure the
victory of the state fighting its enemies. Every citizen in society must
take upon himself a role in the effort to provide for the battle. The entire
domestic front, including professionals, laborers, and industrialists,
stands behind the fighting army, even if it does not bear arms. Therefore
the experts say that the Zionist entity, in truth, is one army."
"Sixth, there are two types of Fatwas: Fatwas concerning a situation of calm
and choice, and Fatwas concerning a situation of distress and necessity. It
is permissible for a Muslim, when in a situation of extreme necessity, to do
what is prohibited to him [in circumstances allowing] choice... Thus, one of
the clerics has espoused the rule: 'Necessities permit prohibitions.' Our
brothers in Palestine are, without a doubt, in a situation of extreme
necessity to carry out martyrdom operations in order to unsettle their
enemies and the plunderers of their land and to sow horror in their hearts
so that they will leave, and return to the places from whence they came..."
"What weapon can harm their enemy, can prevent him from sleeping, and can
strip him of a sense of security and stability, except for these human
bombs - a young man or woman who blows himself or herself up amongst their
enemy. This is a weapon the likes of which the enemy cannot obtain, even if
the U.S. provides it with billions [of dollars] and the most powerful
weapons, because it is a unique weapon that Allah has placed only in the
hands of the men of belief. It is a type of divine justice on the face of
the earth... it is the weapon of the wretched weak in the face of the
powerful tyrant..."
'Those Who Oppose Martyrdom Operations and Claim that they are Suicide are
Making a Great Mistake'
"Those who oppose martyrdom operations and claim that they are suicide are
making a great mistake. The goals of the one who carries out a martyrdom
operation and of the one who commits suicide are completely different.
Anyone who analyzes the soul of [these two] will discover the huge
difference between them. The [person who commits] suicide kills himself for
himself, because he failed in business, love, an examination, or the like.
He was too weak to cope with the situation and chose to flee life for
death."
"In contrast, the one who carries out a martyrdom operation does not think
of himself. He sacrifices himself for the sake of a higher goal, for which
all sacrifices become meaningless. He sells himself to Allah in order to buy
Paradise in exchange. Allah said: 'Allah has bought from the believers their
souls and their properties for they shall inherit Paradise.'"
"While the [person who commits] suicide dies in escape and retreat, the one
who carries out a martyrdom operation dies in advance and attack. Unlike the
[person who commits] suicide, who has no goal except escape from
confrontation, the one who carries out a martyrdom operation has a clear
goal, and that is to please Allah..."

Bin Laden's son, Saad, stepping up to the plate.
I suspect most, if not all, of Osama's sons will be as trouble-some as we allow them to be.
