Bismillah ir-Rahmaan ir-Raheem, al-hamdulillahi Rabb il-’Alameen, wa salaatu wa salaamu ‘alaa Rasoolillah, wa ash-haadu an laa ilaaha ill Allah, wa ash-haadu anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa rasooluh,

Amma ba’d,

One of the most important aspects of furthering the jihad movement is identifying the ememies of the movement. Some enemies are somewhat veiled, but others are clear. There are also, some enemies within the veiled category that can be turned into clear enemies by demonstrating their association with the enemies which are clear.

DEFINITIONS

The Clear Enemy – A clear enemy is one whose statements and actions are positive propaganda in and of themselves with the general masses.

The Veiled Enemy – A veiled enemy is one whose statements and actions are not necessarily positive propaganda.

The Poorly Veiled Enemy – A poorly veiled enemy is one who is easily converted into a clear enemy, but which requires some explanation in order to turn this page.

EXAMPLES

There are many examples of each category, but some of them are important to identify and then to explore how to exploit. Even some of the clear enemies can be harmful to the movement if we do not deal with them correctly.

America, U.K., AMISOM, NATO, Canada, Russia, China, Israel, the Afghan Puppet Government, the Iraqi Puppet Government, the Yemeni Puppet Government, the Pakistani Puppet Government, India, and other European countries
Clear Enemies
The killing of civilians should be spread as much as is possible.
Anytime these groups are able to be tied to changing Islam it should be mentioned.
All forms of oppression by these groups should be mentioned.
The words “puppet,” “brutal,” “oppressive,” “kafir,” “corrupt,” “apostate,” “Western,” and “crusader,” should all be put in fron of the word “regime” when referring to these organizations.
Anytime these countries disagree or argue it should be spread.
Any failures that these countries have should also be spread.

Other Puppet Regimes
Clear Enemies (excluding Saudi Arabia which is a Poorly Veiled Enemy)
Any displays of kufr should be highlighted.
Attention should not just be payed to Saudi Arabia, but also to the areas that are more obvious.
Crackdowns on Islamist movements should be highlighted.
All forms of sin and oppression should be made clear and visible.
Whenever they kill civilians it should be published.
Community efforts of Islamist organizations in these areas should be published. It needs to be clear that supporting Islam brings about positive social change, and opposing it brings about oppression.
Torture and imprisonment of the mujahideen, scholars, and du’aat should be exposed.
Government scholars should be exposed and the scholars of haqq should be promoted.

Government Scholars
Clear Enemies
The “government scholars” being referred to here are the ones who are clearly just issuing fataawa on behalf of a government and it is not referring to every scholar who supports a government. These are not “Clear Enemies.”
Their fataawah should be exposed.
Their ties to the governments should be made highly visible.
Whenever they issue a fatwa supporting the forces of kufr against the Muslims, then it should be brought to light.
Issues of taking money for fataawa should be discussed.

Misguided Scholars
Veiled Enemies
First let me clarify that I am not saying they are our enemies, but that they do make efforts to hurt the jihad movement.
Their deviations should be pointed out when they are detrimental to jihad.
Their inconsistencies should also be brought to light.
We should not make takfir of them unless they do something which is clear kufr and the conditions for takfir are met.
If their opposition to the mujahideen is well known, then whenever they issue a fatwa in support of them it should be highlighted.
Any time counter terrorism officials mention them positively, then it should be mentioned.

Counter Terrorism Officials
Clear Enemies
Anytime they say anything against a group of mujahideen it should be mentioned.
Anytime they mention changing Islam it should be mentioned.
Anytime they mention promoting certain scholars it should be mentioned, unless that scholar is well known to be a scholar of the haqq. In this case they are either confused or they are trying to cause divisions, so it should be left alone.
Whoever they mention positively immediately loses credibility, and whoever they mention negatively gains credibility.
Usually these people are significantly behind on trends such as the NEFA Foundation if you have ever read their works. However, we can play off of their theories in order to increase the influence and capabilities of certain individuals and groups. Scholars and du’at who may have faded from the spotlight can be brought back into it by playing off of CT theories.

Moderate Islamic Organizations
Clear Enemies and Poorly Veiled Enemies
Depending on the organization it might be a clear enemy, such as an organization like Muslims for Secular Democracy, or it might be a poorly veiled enemy such as CAIR.
These organizations should be exposed as completely ignorant of Islamic rulings.
Their betrayal of Muslims with their fataawa and statements in support of kafir soldiers when they kill Muslims.
Their love of the kuffar and their hatred of the Muslims should be displayed.
If that is not apparent, then their hatred of the mujahideen should be highlighted.
When an organization is upon clear kufr, then it should be made apparent.
When an organization is run by fasiqeen, then it should also be brought to light.
Their ties to politicians who hate Islam and kill Muslims should be shown.
Their abandoning of the Sunnah should be mentioned.

Salafis Who Abandon Jihad
Veiled Enemies
There are two types of Salafis who abandon jihad. There are the Neo-Salafis such as Abu Khadija, and there are the American Salafis that are found predominantly in the Al-Maghrib Institute.
The Neo-Salafis should be ignored and go unmentioned, because refuting them is not as beneficial as simply ignoring them. They are increasingly viewed as a sect by the general Muslim population, and simply teaching a concept will reach far more people than a refutation of some misguided notion.
The American Salafis should be called out on their platforms.
When they condemn the mujahideen it should be exposed.
When they condemn the kuffar, then they should be called out on condemning the mujahideen, so that the Muslims do not get confused about their beliefs.
When they issue statements condemning jihad, then they should be challenged to produce proofs for abandoning jihad. They will not be able to do this, so it is a good point to make.
We should start calling them “American Salafis,” because their methodology seems to only exist in the United States and Canada.
We should avoid generalizing the entire Al-Maghrib organization or similar groups until all of their leaders have clarified their stances. For example, Muslim Matters can be generalized, because it is clear what its writers are upon. However, not all of Al-Maghrib’s instructors have made it clear what they are upon, and their is evidence from older lectures that maybe some of them are in disagreement, wa Allahu ‘alam.

Nationalist Fighters
Poorly Veiled Enemies
These groups are only able to be turned into clear enemies after they have abandoned jihad or they have attacked the true mujahideen.
If they attack the mujahideen, then they should be condemned loudly.
If they engage in “peace talks,” then they should be spoken against.
They should not be treated as enemies based only on suspicion, but when something clear comes up.
If one is suspicious about a group, because it seems to have nationalistic goals, then their successes should not be tied to them publicly.
Their victories over the kuffar should be mentioned, but one should avoid giving too much credit to these groups.
The mujahideen’s lack of need for these groups and superior capabilities should be emphasized wherever it exists (for example in Afghanistan).
It should be prominently displayed when their fighters leave for the true mujahideen.

“Rehabilitated” Mujahideen
Clear Enemies
It should be mentioned that intention is key when fighting jihad and that it is not surprising that some people fell off of the straight path.
Their gross shift should be mentioned and they should be discredited.
Discussion of folding under pressure of torture should occur.
Also, it should be mentioned how they have sold the akhira for this life.
Their ties to whatever government “rehabilitated” them should be brought to light and exposed.
Even though it burns our hearts to see these people, their words really do benefit the movement and only tie the kuffar and the munafiqeen to a war on Islam in which they seek to change this religion.

In sha’a Allah when I am done with these articles I will turn it into a book with edits and reorganization for the sake of Allah, bi’idhnillah.
