Right now the best thing going in the counter-jihadi world is a Egyptian in jail in Eqypt who has just wriiten a book explaining to Muslims why they are being used by Jihadis in a campaign of lies. He uses the Koran to explain to the Jihadi culture why what they are doing is un-Islamic.

The people who should be manning this Radi-Free Jihad are available in the West. The moderate Muslim conference held in Florida this past March had plenty of Muslims ready to wage such a campaign.

People will say that the Jihadis are only doing what the Koran says to do. However the Eqyptian writer claims that verses such as “fight those that contend with you” are about defensive Jihad, not offensive Jihad…which is what AQ is conducting against the West. Here’s a sample.

- Intro -

“Sayid Imam al-Sharif, 57, was the founder and first emir (commander) of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad organisation, whose supporters assassinated President Anwar Sadat in 1981 and later teamed up with Osama Bin Laden in Afghanistan in the war against the Soviet occupation.”

His point:

“Sharif recently gave an electrifying foretaste of his conversion by condemning killings on the basis of nationality and colour of skin and the targeting of women and children, citing the Qur’anic injunction: “Fight in the cause of God those who fight you, but do not transgress the limits; for God loveth not transgressors.” Armed operations were wrong, counterproductive and must cease, he declared sternly.”

Conclusion:
“If you want to rob these people of their cover you have to take away their legitimacy,” says Ashraf Mohsin, an Egyptian diplomat dealing with counter-terrorism. “The way to deprive them of their ability to recruit is to attack the message. If you take Islam out of the message all that is left is criminality.”
