IRAQ: 250 KILLED Aug.14, 2007 – Three suicide bombers driving explosive-laden tankers killed at least 250 civilians in northern Iraq, and wounded more than 200, near the town of Sinjar.

Such killing and maiming of non- combatants and civilians are routine and daily episodes enacted in the Iraqi Hell. It is obvious that such anarchists have no relationship with Islam. While the fight is supposed to be with the Ameri- can aggressors and pirates, those mas- querading as Muslims are murdering their own kith and kin. The Hadith of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) applicable to this evil situation is: “The killer and the killed will be in the Fire.” Also: “The killer will not know why he kills, and the killed will not know why they are being killed.”

“What is clear is that the US has already suffered a strategic defeat in Iraq. A flagrant act of aggression in- tended to be a demonstration of un- trammelled US imperial power to im-
pose its will on the heart of the oil- producing Arab and Muslim world has instead demonstrated a fatal vulner- ability to “asymmetric warefare”. It’s also true that, as a senior US intelli- gence officer told the Washington Post this week, “The British have basically been defeated in the south”. Far from keeping rival militia from each other’s throats, over 80% of violent attacks in the area are directed against British troops.

“If Allah aids you, none can defeat you, and if He abandons you, then who can help you besides Him?” (Qur’aan)

With each defeat at the hands of kuf- faar and murtaddeen masquerading as Muslims, there is a lesson for the Um- mah. The latest defeat in the form of the Laal Musjid massacre in which 1500
Muslim girls and hundreds of others were brutally murdered by a murtadd regime posing as Muslim, is yet another warning and a sombre lesson for Mus- lims to reflect and try to fathom the causes of their misery, humiliation and defeat at the hands of the enemies of Allah Azza Wa Jal. Allah Ta’ala declares in the Qur’aan:
