In this interview: Adam tells Resurgence Azzam al-Amriki June 25, 2015 [Please note: Images may have been removed from this document. Page numbers may have been added.] Targeting India will remain one of the Mujahideen’s priorities as long as it pursues its antagonistic policies and continues to engage in and condone the persecution, murder and rape of Muslims and occupation of their land The way forward for our persecuted brothers in Bangladesh is Da’wah and Jihad The Pakistani regime bears responsibility for the toppling of the Islamic Emirate and the occupation of Afghanistan, and its crimes are continuing unabated While in Pakistan, I and my brothers were blessed with numerous supporters who sheltered and took care of us despite the risk The Americans and their Pakistani agents almost captured me in Karachi on at least two occasions Shaykh Abu Mus’ab al-Zarqawi had the qualities of a great leader and a smile which could illuminate a city The Americans came close to martyring Shaykh Abu Mus’ab (may Allah have mercy on him) in Afghanistan, but Allah preserved him until he became America’s number one enemy in Iraq Shaykh Abu Mus’ab was a champion of unity who fought for the Ummah, and he should not be held responsible for the deviation today of some people who falsely claim to follow him and his methodology A Muslim’s blood is sacred, more sacred even than the Ka’aba, and spilling it without right is not only an act of oppression, it is the greatest sin after Kufr and Shirk The blessed raids of September 11th rubbed America’s nose in the dirt and debunked the myth of its invincibility Brother Hani Hanjour asked me about security on American domestic flights in 1999 Allegations of the un-Islamic character and behavior of the heroes of September 11th is part of a conspiracy to confuse and mislead Muslims Prophetic visions increased before major operations like September 11th and the USS Cole attack, leading Shaykh Usama to forbid the brothers to talk about their dreams The objective of the new Crusade against Iraq and Syria is to reestablish Crusader control of the region under the pretext of combating a particular faction 1 If the Crusaders decide to change their ways, then we have absolutely no interest whatsoever in prolonging the war for so much as another minute The Jihad against the regime in Damascus remains the most important battle for the Muslim Ummah in decades, and we must refocus our efforts on supporting our brothers in Syria in their heroic and fateful struggle The Nusra Front is an integral part of the blessed Syrian revolution Any attempt to differentiate between the Syrian and non-Syrian Mujahideen or drive a wedge between them is doomed to failure Cultivating and preserving a base of popular support is essential for the success of our Jihad Actual combat is only a small part of Jihad; most of the Mujahid’s time is taken up by Ribaat, which has a huge reward The Islamic Emirate is poised to return to power—soon, Allah willing—and its return will reverberate around the region Mujahideen everywhere should benefit from the Afghan experience and the examples set by the Islamic Emirate The liberation of al-Aqsa Masjid is getting closer with each passing day and each new victory Resurgence: First of all, we would like to learn about your family background and the early years of your life. Adam: In the name of Allah, and all praise is due to Allah, and peace and prayers be upon the Messenger of Allah and upon all his Family and Companions. Before I begin, I would like to congratulate you on the founding of Qa’eda al-Jihad Organization in the Indian Subcontinent, as well the founding of Resurgence Magazine. May Allah bless your efforts, and may He make al-Qa’eda in the Subcontinent and Resurgence play major roles in the empowerment of Muslims and the restoration of the Khilaafah (Caliphate); and I would also like to extend my thanks to you for picking me to be the subject of your first interview. Now, about the background of my family: like many or most Americans, I come from a family of diverse descent. My paternal grandfather’s parents were Ashkenazi Jews who immigrated to Brooklyn, New York from the Lithuania/Poland region. His wife—my paternal grandmother—was a Protestant Christian woman from West Virginia whose family—the Christians—has been in America since revolutionary times and which, like many prominent Western European families, traces its ancestry back to people like Charlemagne and William the Conqueror. 2 On my mother’s side, the family is—if my memory serves me right—of German Catholic descent, like many people in the Pennsylvania-New Jersey region where they lived. My father’s parents moved from the East Coast to southern California before he was born, and that’s where he grew up, and where he was introduced to my mother who was staying with relatives in the area. Soon after meeting—about two weeks later, if I’m not mistaken—my parents married. Shortly thereafter, they moved to the neighboring state of Oregon, and it was there that I was born—on September 1st, 1978—in a small trailer in the woods near the town of Port Orford. Soon after my birth, the government forced my family off the land my father had purchased in order to make way for a national park or nature reserve, and so we moved back to southern California, where my father bought 60 acres in an area which at the time was undeveloped, sparsely populated, and relatively far away from the suburban sprawl. I think we were only the second or third family to take up residence there. This rural ranch is where I grew up, as the eldest of four children. I have two sisters and a brother (the youngest of the four). Resurgence: How would you describe the early years of your life? Adam: Hmm…I would say that they were rather idyllic, occasionally boring—or perhaps often boring is the right way to put it—and probably a bit unusual for the place and time I grew up in. As I said, it was a very rural area, and we had no AC electricity, nor gas supply, nor even any toilets. We didn’t even have a telephone for the first ten years. The same thing goes for television. I think I was about 11 or 12 when one of our relatives gave us a small 3 or 4 inch black and white TV which we ran for a couple of hours each day off the three solar panels we used for lighting and powering small appliances like radios and cassette and CD players. Resurgence: So you obviously didn’t have air conditioning, then? Adam: Obviously! During the summer we had to sweat it out, while in the winter we would warm ourselves around the wood stove on which my mother would cook our food. That was during the day and in the early evening, but at bedtime we had to make do with several layers of blankets and quilts. Perhaps I should mention here that we lived in a small four-room house which my father designed and built himself from scratch, adding new rooms as the family grew larger; and the walls of our house were built entirely out of a single layer of wood planks with gaps in between most planks due to shrinkage, and obviously such a setup doesn’t offer much protection against the wind and cold, keeping in mind that temperatures in our area would regularly drop below freezing during the winter months. But on the plus side, a house built out of wood doesn’t retain much heat, which was helpful during summers where the temperature could reach 115 degrees Fahrenheit (46 degrees Celsius). Resurgence: Was this rough, “off-the-grid” way of life someone your parents chose, or was it something they were forced into by circumstances? 3 Adam: I think it was a personal choice for the most part, whether born out of a desire to be different or out of a dislike of Western consumer culture and a wish to live a simpler life, although to be honest, I’m not quite certain on what basis they chose which amenities and conveniences of modern life to abandon and which to keep, because there were numerous concessions made to modernity. For example, while we didn’t have AC power or toilets, we had several automobiles, in addition to the technology which I mentioned earlier and other things I haven’t mentioned. Resurgence: We’ve heard that you did not attend school or any other formal educational institution. Is this true, and if so, why did your parents prefer homeschooling? Adam: Yes, I never went to school, whether public (state-funded) or private. I think there were probably a number of reasons my parents didn’t send me or any of my siblings to school. Like many parents who school their children at home, I think my parents did so because they didn’t want to entrust other people with their children’s intellectual development and physical well-being. There is no doubting the facts that schools—particularly American public schools—are one of the leading causes of the corruption of children’s minds, values, morals, manners and health. Atheism, godlessness, sex, drugs, petty and violent crime, disease, junk food: you name the vice, you’ll find it at school and be taught all about it, whether by your fellow students or by those tasked with educating you.

Since its inception in 1986, the Center has sponsored investigative field missions, reported on the religious persecution of individuals and groups abroad, and undertaken advocacy on their behalf in the media, Congress, State Department and White House. Religious freedom faces difficult new challenges. Recent decades have seen the rise of extreme interpretations of Islamist rule that are virulently intolerant of dissenting voices and other traditions within Islam, as well as other faiths. Many in the policy world still find religious freedom too "sensitive" to raise.

    The Muslim Woman Activist’: Solidarity Across Difference in the Movement Against the ‘War on Terror’

    ORE Open Research Exeter TITLE ‘The Muslim woman activist’: solidarity across difference in the movement against the ‘War on Terror’ AUTHORS Massoumi, N JOURNAL Ethnicities DEPOSITED IN ORE 13 March 2019 This version available at http://hdl.handle.net/10871/36451 COPYRIGHT AND REUSE Open Research Exeter makes this work available in accordance with publisher policies. A NOTE ON VERSIONS The version presented here may differ from the published version. If citing, you are advised to consult the published version for pagination, volume/issue and date of publication ‘The Muslim woman activist’: solidarity across difference in the movement against the ‘War on Terror’ Abstract Feminist scholars have widely noted the centrality of gendered discourses to the ‘War on Terror’. This article shows how gendered narratives also shaped the collective identities of those opposing the ‘War on Terror’. Using interview data and analysis of newspaper editorials from movement leaders alongside focus groups with grassroots Muslim women activists, this article demonstrates how, in responding to the cynical use of women’s rights to justify war, participants in the anti- ‘War on Terror’ movement offered an alternative story. Movement activists deployed representations of Muslim women’s agency to challenge the trope of the ‘oppressed Muslim woman’. I argue that these representations went beyond strategic counter-narratives and offered an emotional basis for solidarity. Yet, respondents in the focus groups illustrated the challenges of seeking agency through an ascribed identity; in that they simultaneously refused and relied upon dominant terms of the debate about Muslim women. Keywords Muslim women, social movements, war on terror, collective identity, symbol Introduction Something horrible flits across the background in scenes from Afghanistan, scuttling out of sight.

    The 21 Century New Muslim Generation Converts in Britain And

    The 21st Century New Muslim Generation Converts in Britain and Germany Submitted by Caroline Neumueller to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Arab and Islamic Studies October 2012 1 2 Abstract The dissertation focuses on the conversion experiences and individual processes of twenty-four native British Muslim converts and fifty-two native German Muslim converts, based on personal interviews and completed questionnaires between 2008 and 2010. It analyses the occurring similarities and differences among British and German Muslim converts, and puts them into relation to basic Islamic requirements of the individual, and in the context of their respective social settings. Accordingly, the primary focus is placed on the changing behavioural norms in the individual process of religious conversion concerning family and mixed-gender relations and the converts’ attitudes towards particularly often sensitive and controversial topics. My empirical research on this phenomenon was guided by many research questions, such as: What has provoked the participants to convert to Islam, and what impact and influence does their conversion have on their (former and primarily) non-Muslim environment? Do Muslim converts tend to distance themselves from their former lifestyles and change their social behavioural patterns, and are the objectives and purposes that they see themselves having in the given society directed to them being: bridge-builders or isolators? The topic of conversion to Islam, particularly within Western non-Muslim societies is a growing research phenomenon. At the same time, there has only been little contribution to the literature that deals with comparative analyses of Muslim converts in different countries.

    Radical Islamist Groups in Germany: a Lesson in Prosecuting Terror in Court by Matthew Levitt

    MENU Policy Analysis / PolicyWatch 834 Radical Islamist Groups in Germany: A Lesson in Prosecuting Terror in Court by Matthew Levitt Feb 19, 2004 ABOUT THE AUTHORS Matthew Levitt Matthew Levitt is the Fromer-Wexler Fellow and director of the Reinhard Program on Counterterrorism and Intelligence at The Washington Institute. Brief Analysis n February 5, 2004, a German court acquitted Abdelghani Mzoudi, a thirty-one-year-old native Moroccan, of O 3,066 counts of accessory to murder and membership in a terrorist organization (al-Qaeda). Mzoudi is suspected of having provided material and financial support to the Hamburg cell that helped organize and perpetrate the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. According to the presiding judge, Mzoudi was acquitted for lack of evidence, not out of a belief in the defendant's innocence. The acquittal was the most recent example of a growing dilemma faced by the United States and other countries in their efforts to prosecute suspected terrorists: how to gain access to intelligence for criminal proceedings without compromising the sources of that information. Indeed, Mzoudi's acquittal comes at a time when, despite nearly three years of fighting the war on terror, German intelligence claims that the presence of militant Islamist groups on German soil has reached new heights. U.S. officials face similar circumstances. Al-Qaeda in Germany Within days of the September 11 attacks, al-Qaeda activities in Germany quickly emerged as a key focus of the investigation. Three of the four suicide pilots -- Mohammed Atta, Marwan al-Shehi, and Ziad Jarrah -- were members of the Hamburg cell.

    AND TERRORIST TRAVEL Staff Report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States 9/11 AND TERRORIST TRAVEL Staff Report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States By Thomas R. Eldridge Susan Ginsburg Walter T. Hempel II Janice L. Kephart Kelly Moore and Joanne M. Accolla, Staff Assistant Alice Falk, Editor Note from the Executive Director The Commission staff organized its work around specialized studies, or monographs, prepared by each of the teams. We used some of the evolving draft material for these studies in preparing the seventeen staff statements delivered in conjunction with the Commission’s 2004 public hearings. We used more of this material in preparing draft sections of the Commission’s final report. Some of the specialized staff work, while not appropriate for inclusion in the report, nonetheless offered substantial information or analysis that was not well represented in the Commission’s report. In a few cases this supplemental work could be prepared to a publishable standard, either in an unclassified or classified form, before the Commission expired. This study is on immigration, border security and terrorist travel issues. It was prepared principally by Thomas Eldridge, Susan Ginsburg, Walter T. Hempel II, Janice Kephart, and Kelly Moore, with assistance from Joanne Accolla, and editing assistance from Alice Falk. As in all staff studies, they often relied on work done by their colleagues. This is a study by Commission staff. While the Commissioners have been briefed on the work and have had the opportunity to review earlier drafts of some of this work, they have not approved this text and it does not necessarily reflect their views.

Awan On 7 July 2005, four young indigenous British Muslims, three of Pakistani provenance and the fourth a Jamaican convert to Islam, became Britain’s first domestic suicide bombers. A fortnight later, eliciting an unsettling sense of déjà-vu, a second abortive wave of attacks on the London transport network followed, the culprits this time being British asylum seekers hailing from the troubled horn of Africa. These ‘martyrdom operations’ (as they are alluded to in the idiom of Islamist- Jihadist discourse), until now, only experienced vicariously through theatres of conflict such as Iraq and Israel, shocked us all, leaving many of us reeling at the prospect of this new threat posed by a small (but as of yet unknown) propor- tion of Britain’s 1.6 million-strong Muslim community. The events of July 2005 were exceptional only in the sense that this was the first time British Muslims had perpetrated terrorist acts of this magnitude on home soil; however, they were not entirely without precedent. British Muslims have been drawn to radical Islamism in the past and have included, inter alia, Richard Reid, the ‘shoe bomber’ of December 2001; the five members of the ‘Tipton Taliban’ captured by coalition forces in Afghanistan in January 2002; Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, responsible for conveying US journalist Daniel Pearl to his death in Pakistan in February 2002; the group of Britons granted asylum from North African who were responsible for a failed chemical attack on the London Underground in November 2002; Asif Mohammed Hanif and Omar Khan Sharif, who con- ducted suicide bomb attacks in Tel Aviv in May 2003; and eight British Pakistanis from Luton, who were found to be in possession of a large quantity of explosive material in March 2004.
