A Chat With A Radical Fighter In Syria

The Islamist rebel group Jabhat al-Nusra has been secretive, keeping to 
itself and refusing to meet Western journalists. The group has been 
designated a terrorist organization by the Obama administration and was 
thought to be made up mostly of foreign fighters, working alongside 
Syrian rebels.
 
But lately, members are starting to open up as more Syrians join the 
group and they make more gains on the ground in the fight against the 
Syrian government.
 
In the northwest Syrian town of Kafr Nabel we met a 21-year-old fighter 
from the group. He said he came from Libya six months ago and goes by 
the name Brother Huthaifa. He says he is a "sheikh," or leader.
 
He agreed to meet on the condition that he could "invite us to Islam," 
though he refused to have his photo taken.
 
Here are highlights of the conversation:
 
On labeling the group
 
Brother Huthaifa: I object to anyone calling us extremists.
 
NPR: So what word would you use?
 
BH: Mujahedeen (fighter for God).
 
NPR: What is your vision for Syria?
 
BH: We Muslims have a certainty, there is talk of the prophet who 
preached that the best place on earth is the Levant. He also said that 
God chooses whom he wishes to be his best followers to be from here. I 
hope God chooses me and this is why I came to here, too.
 
NPR: What did you do before you came to Syria?
 
BH: I was a teacher of Quran and a sharia [Islamic law] student, fourth 
year in Benghazi, Libya. [During the uprising against Moammar Gadhafi], 
I was fighting in Sirte.
 
NPR: What is the goal of Jabhat al-Nusra in Syria?
 
BH: There are orders from the general command of the group that it is 
not allowed to conduct suicide operations inside residential neighborhoods.
 
On the group's attitude toward women
 
NPR: Will women be required to wear hijab [if the current regime is ousted]?
 
BH: Let me explain it this way. If I gave someone two lollipops ... one 
is covered and the other is not. Where will the germs and the bacteria 
go? To the uncovered one. And the same with the woman; if she is 
uncovered, the rotten one, who will the men chase? While if the woman is 
covered, even the most beautiful one, they will not chase her.
 
NPR: That brings us to the wider question of an Islamic state, and what 
does that mean for the non-Muslims?
 
BH: Preserving the Muslim society, that is the general rule. Prevention 
is the best treatment. What makes people commit sin is viewing porn 
films, listening to songs that provoke desire.
 
NPR: You are also in a way not respecting the minds of men. You 
immediately think that they will chase a woman who is unveiled.
 
BH: Prevention is the best treatment. Men mostly look at face and the 
body. Then he will be following women and Satan will be whispering into 
his ears.
 
NPR: So why don't you put on a veil, too? There are women who chase men?
 
BH: Are you really asking to get an answer or to argue?
 
NPR: To get an answer.
 
BH: Islam is a great religion. There is a verse that says: "Tell the 
believers to lower their gaze and guard their modesty. That is better 
for them, as God is aware of what they are doing. And tell the woman 
[believers] to lower their gaze and guard their modesty."
 
On why the group is becoming more public
 
BH: There are no guidelines regarding this matter. Because people want 
to come to Jabhat al-Nusra on their own. If you want to know about us, 
you can follow us on Twitter.
 
NPR: But today you were a bit upset that the media didn't publicize your 
demonstration.
 
BH: The problem is that the media has lost its credibility. The media's 
role is to convey what is happening on the ground without exaggeration. 
And it isn't the case. It's opposite. Especially when Jabhat al-Nusra 
was classified as a terrorist organization.
It did not commit any terrorist acts outside Syria, and it doesn't have 
any links to al-Qaida, but it was classified as a terrorist 
organization. Why? Because it resisted [Syrian president] Bashar al Assad.
 
NPR: In Syria, people have different beliefs than you. So the question 
is, how can you come from a different country and tell Syrians how to 
live their lives as Muslims?
 
BH: In our religion, the believers are brothers and sisters. ... There 
is no such thing as Libyan, Syrian, Tunisian. We are all Muslims.
 
On Islamic law
 
BH: We believe in the prophecy of implementing an Islamic state.
 
NPR: So once there is an Islamic state, there will be the cutting off 
the hands of thieves and the death penalty [for worse crimes]?
 
BH: I decline to answer.
 
NPR: The people of Syria deserve an answer.
 
BH: Al-Hudud [the Islamic punishments for serious crimes] cannot be 
implemented except in a Muslim country with power and force. With 
cutting off hands, we would have to implement the several conditions 
necessary for an Islamic state before we could do that.
 
NPR: We saw how your organization helped with bread distribution in 
Aleppo. Is it an important phase for you right now to earn the trust of 
the people?
 
BH: Yes, Sheikh Abu Mohammad al-Joulani, who is the emir of Jabhat 
al-Nusra in Syria, wrote a letter titled, "People of Sham we sacrifice 
our souls for you." In it he said that Jabhat al-Nusa is not a political 
organization but a group that cares in the matters of all Muslims.

Bellissimo personaggio ventunenne Libico, gia' capo banda.
 
Cresciuto in una Madrassa di Bengasi dove oziava da ben quattro anni.
Lo si vede coattato nelle poche basi cocettuali wahabbite.
 
La somiglianza coi Talebani e' totale, stesse radici, stesso padre, 
criminale islamico tipico.
 
Il suo ideale finale un Kaliffato mondiale, dove finalmente sara' possibile 
coprire tutte le donne e mozzare mani e teste di chi ruba o non si adegua.
Fara' saltare tutte le chiese o dimostrazioni di diverse religioni, 
sgozzera' gli infedeli che non si inginocchiano al suo passaggio.
Come dice il corano.
 
Libico, terrorista in Siria.
Pagato da Katar e Sauditi, armato dai Turchi via NATO.
 
Amico del nazista Curzon e ben visto dai pussy idiots "democratici".
Idolo dei troll di questo NG.
 
 
Bel colpo Persio
