Step
One
Osama would argue first that
the U.S. Muslims had misquoted “Qur’an, 5:32.” This
abbreviation means “Qur’an, at chapter 5, verse-law 32.”
As a literalist, Sheik Bin Laden would next argue that the U.S.
Muslims’ Fiqh Council is hypocritical and, indeed,
dishonored Allah by corruptly suppressing part of Qur’an (5:32)
from the U.S. Fatwa. In the printing of the entire verse-law,
he would see, there are words omitted in the U.S. Fatwa Against Terrorism.
The capitalized words below approximate the words used in the Fatwa.
These here capitalized and quoted words, carefully carved out from
full verse-law, constitute U.S. Muslims’ central proof for their
Fatwa. The U.S. Fatwa orders that Islam is a no-terrorism and
no-extremism religious ideology.
Qur’an 5-32 Verse-Law-
Sentences --
“Allah shows He then decreed for the Jews, as Children of Israel, that
IF ANYONE SLAYS ANOTHR PERSON as opposed to a
slaying authorized for another slaying or for spreading mischief in the land,
THEN SUCH SLAYING IS AS IF HE SLEW THE WHOLE
PEOPLE; “furthermore, Allah decreed that IF
ANYONE SAVED A LIFE, IT WOULD BE
AS IF HE SAVED THE WHOLE PEOPLE;
wherefore, Allah sent His messengers with clear revelations to the
Jews, and yet the Jews continued to do wrongful deeds in the land.”
[source -- Qur’an, chapter 5, verse-law 32; compare Ali-Pickthall-Shakir
trans. at e.g. <guten berg.org/etext>
Step
Two
Sheik
Bin Laden or any other of the terrorist literalists would yet draw
attention as follows. In the above full quote, Osama would
argue, one sees the initial set of words omitted from the 2005
Fatwa. These words are the following.
“On that account, Allah
shows He then decreed for the Jews, as Children of
Israel
…
Sheik
Bin Laden and the literal Qur’an readers of the radical
WIFront would propagandize this omission. What if the U.S. Muslim
leaders had not deleted the introductory words to Allah’s
revealed verse 5:32? Sheik Bin Laden would argue this. It
would turn the meaning of the 2005 Fatwa on its head. Allah
addressed Qur’an (5:32) to the “Jews, as Children of Israel.”
In contrast, the U.S. Muslim leaders in their 2005 Fatwa state that Qur’an
(5:32) is addressed to their membership, being Muslims. Who is
right, the U.S. Muslim leaders, or Allah? Hands down, Osama and the
WIFront leaders would say that Allah rules.
Step
Three: War Maxims
Sheik
Bin Laden would contend that the U.S. Muslim leadership are actually
issuing commands to the inimical Jews. Thus, the U.S. Fatwa’s
three commands though implicit are really those shown next below.
Therefore, these rather would be Allah’s true orders.
“’1. …[Jewish] terrorism…[is] forbidden,’ and ‘2.
[A Jew must not]…cooperate with terrorists,’ and ‘3….[Jews must]
cooperate with law enforcement….’”
In
their propaganda, the literalists of the radical World Islamic Front would
then reformulate. From the above verse-law of Qur’an
(5:32), Sheik Bin Laden could then use the following four war maxims
to guide World Islamic Front commandoes.
a. war maxim -- If a Jew slays a single Muslim, the
World Islamic Front must commence or maintain war against all Jews,
worldwide. [authority: Qur’an, chapter 5, verse-law 32]
b. war maxim -- Allah’s law on point is that if any Jew slays
a single Muslim it is the same as if such Jew has slain the entire Islamic
brotherhood. Op. cit.
c.
war maxim -- Furthermore,
World Islamic Front commandoes must slay any Jew who spreads mischief
in the land. Op. cit.
d.
war maxim -- World Islamic
Front commandoes and collaborators regularly
must
investigate all Jews. This is an order from Allah, because
Allah states that Jews continue to do wrongful deeds of mischief in the
lands. Op. cit.
War
Laws -- The Four Verse-Set
Sheik
Bin Laden would propagandize that the U.S. Fiqh Council Muslims omitted
other words. In the U.S. Fatwa’s quotation of Qur’an
(5:32) were these other omissions. These words appear at the end of the
verse-law.
Step
One
The
WIFront leader would assert that, in the above full quote of Qur’an
(5:32), he and others can see a concluding set of words was omitted.
These words are as follow.
“…wherefore, Allah
sent His messengers with clear revelations to the Jews, and yet the Jews
continued to do wrongful deeds in the land.”
Seeking
further to pervert the meaning of the 2005 Fatwa, the literalist would
argue as follows. Such omitted, closing words would show what
Allah intended. What was to be done about such Jews, as non-Muslims, who
“continued to do wrongful deeds”?
The
literal answer is in the subsequent three verse-laws, numbered 33 and 34
and 35. Osama would argue that the pro-peace U.S. Muslims hid these
words. One presumes the U.S. President and his envoy read these Qur’an
verses. Allah yet reveals express guidance on terrorism and
the value of extremism. The Presidency must believe that Allah did
not mean what He said. This point, Sheik Bin Laden would
contend, further discredits the Fiqh Council’s peaceful purpose.
Rather, all four verse-laws, together, constitute a set of
hard-drive war laws.
“Muslims
view the Qur’an as God’s direct words in Arabic to the Prophet
Muhammad (d[ied] 632 [A.D.])…[and this view]… is based on several
verses of the Qur’an….” [20]
First
below are listed all four verse-laws. Second, printed beneath the
verse-laws are the war maxims which the WIFront can derive from the
four verse-laws. The capitalized words, again, are the only
words quoted in the pro-peace 2005 U.S. Fatwa.
Step
Two -- All
Four, Related Verse-Laws
Surely
the President and his envoy had read the following four verse-laws of the Qur’an
by September 2, 2005. In English, it takes only a moment. U.S.
Muslims’ Fiqh Council of
North America
had anchored their U.S. Fatwa on the first verse-law, number 32. In their
universe of peace diplomacy and anti-war optimism, however, none of them
-- the
U.S.
politicians or the U.S. Muslim leaders -- yet believed the full and
literal verse-laws. The very interested WIFront leaders, however, do
believe them. In verse-law Qur’an (5:32) below, the U.S.
Fatwa’s approximate quoted words from this verse are capitalized as done
above.
“Qur’an 5-32, 33, 34
and 35 Verse-Law
Sentences --
5-32…“On that
account, Allah shows He then decreed for the Jews, as Children of Israel,
that IF ANY ONE SLAYS ANOTHER PERSON, as opposed to a slaying authorized
for another slaying or for spreading mischief in the land, THEN SUCH
SLAYING IS AS IF HE HAS SLAIN THE WHOLE PEOPLE; FURTHERMORE, IF
ANYONE SAVED A LIFE, IT WOULD BE AS IF HE SAVED A WHOLE PEOPLE;
wherefore, Allah sent His messengers with clear revelations to the Jews,
and yet the Jews continued to do wrongful deeds in the land.
5-33…”Allah
decrees that He will punish those non-Muslims who wage war against the
Muslims, who believe in Allah and Muhammad; furthermore, He will
punish such non-Muslims for their striving with might and main for
mischief throughout the land;
“as
well, the punishment is to be that such non-Muslims be executed, or
crucified, or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides, or
that they be exiled from the land; wherefore, such is the
non-Muslims’ disgrace in this world, and Allah accords them heavy
punishment in everlasting life.
5-34…”Allah shows
that those non-Muslims who repent before Muslims capture them will not
suffer such punishment; wherefore, Allah is oft-forgiving
and…merciful.
5-35…“In war and
peace, a Muslim will prosper, so long as he performs his duties owed to
Allah, praises Allah in his daily life, and strives in Allah’s cause in
war to advance Islam into non-Muslim lands.” [source
-- Qur’an, chapter 5, verse-laws 32, 33, 34, 35; compare
Ali-Pickthall-Shakir trans. at e.g. <gutenberg .org/etext>
Step Three:
The Resulting War Maxims
Sheik
Bin Laden then could complete reformulating of all four of the
above verse-laws. They become war maxims. By Internet
such maxims, below, would travel outward to inform and motivate the
Islamic brotherhood.
Following
are the WIFront war maxims here presumed. They are formulated by the
author. They are based on Qur’an (5:32) and the three
related verse-laws. It was ignorance and his different mindset,
would say Sheik Bin Laden. A Christian, but not a literalist one,
the U.S. President refuses to believe it. How could a sane Muslim
believe the Qur’an is the very word of Allah? The President
disbelieves his own Bible is the very word of God.
