As Salam Alykom
The issue of Muslims' involvement in the 11th of Sept went through massive debate. Some Mulisms see no harm of a possible involvment of Muslims in the attacks. While others base their argument on that Islam fordids the killing of innocents. I also read Fatwas of renowned scholars such as Sheikh Qaradawi who made an opinion that such attacks are not permissible by Islam. Whereas another group think that this is Jihad and fully acceptable. In addition to the numerous media tapes which were aired showing Usama and his group once denying any association and another confessing in an indirect manner, which was followed by an explanaiton on how the US faked this tape. At the end this took me to a cocnlusion that only Allah Knows the truth behind this attack. And only Him could judge about its legitimacy.
Actually, myself I wish Usama is not involved, I don't dey Jihad, no, Jihad is compuslory. What they did to Soviet Union in Afaghnistan was legendry. What is happening in Palestine raises the pride of any Muslim specially girls who undertook martyrdom operations. Oh my God may He grant us martyrdom in His cause.
Again I think only Allah can make the judgement of this incident.
Furthermore, what is happening in the Muslim world is even more tragic. It is just that the event took place in US which made it gain so much publicity. If we compare the tragics taking place on almost every Mulsim soil we will never be able to identify the magnitude of the tragic situation.
May Allah find us a way out.
