Talk:Abu Ayyub al-Masri

message: From Wikipedia's own page defining what a military is-
"A military is a heavily-armed, highly organized force primarily intended for warfare, also known collectively as armed forces. It is typically officially authorized and maintained by a sovereign state, with its members identifiable by their distinct military uniform. It may consist of one or more military branches such as an Army, Navy, Air Force and in certain countries, Marines and Coast Guard. The main task of the military is usually defined as defense of the state and its interests against external armed threats." 
This person was an illegal combatant who did not serve in any military nor represent any nation, nor did he wear a uniform or insignia, nor did he earn any rank, nor meet the definition of a military service member by the Hague of Geneva conventions or by any legal or traditional definition. All reference to "Military service" should be removed, not only from this page, but also from the pages of of Bin Laden, Baghdadi, and all terrorist leaders. 24.246.101.2 (talk) 14:35, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

replies: text: Yep. Other news around the world are reporting the same. He was killed by an USA air strike, along with 3 of its aides. --Pinnecco 09:10, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. Just saw it as well. I guess that noe ven Reuters is a reliable source of news after all :) --Pinnecco 11:51, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

text: You've got the wrong Abu al-Masri. The reports are referring to this guy. Cheers, CP 16:05, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  al-Masri Dead? 

message: I would omit all mention of this silly and disproven claim, which seems to have been a publicity stunt by the Egyptian lawyer who first made it, promptly lapped up by al-Jazeera.

replies: text: The source is named and what is being claimed is named. Inclusion in wikipedia is verifiability, not truth. It can be verified that such a person said so and so. --Lft6771 19:06, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes they said such-and-such, 95% percent of which has been disproved. The article even quotes Yassir al-Sirri! Does anybody here (besides me) know who that is? As usual, his stuff is false. I'm going to repair this piece. LDH 12:19, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Follow wikipedia guidlines- WP:NOR. Also there is no mention of that name (Sirri) in this article  Search on that page produces no matches for that name. --Lft6771 07:41, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: "Islamic Observation Center" is Yassir al-Sirri. That so-called organization has no members except al-Sirri. He's the former propaganda boss of Egyptian Islamic Jihad. But you've never heard of him. On the other hand, you've heard of a lawyer in Egypt who says that Abu Ayyub al-Masri is in jail in Egypt, so you plop that in to this article. Now order me to follow guidelines. Call me a vandal. Look at this article now, Lft6771. A child could do a better job.

text: Would you like to do a short article on al-Sirri and the IOC? It would benefit this article, because documenting the "track record" and general slant of sources is invaluable for the dedicated analyst. You seem to be at least far more knowledgeable than me.

Just reporting, do what you will with this piece. Blue Mirage | Comment 08:48, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: What difference does it make to Wikipedia hacks whether he is alive or dead? Mamdouh Ismail says Abu Ayyub is in jail in Egypt. Yasr al-Sirri says Abu Ayyub doesn't exist. To Wikipedia it is all the same. 154.5.16.4 09:42, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
