Sharaf Al-Nasir

Sharaf Al-Nasir

> "*All warfare is based on deception. For years, the West's oppression of Muslims everywhere has turned the world into a global war zone. Our fathers and sons spill their own blood in the name of waging war against the infidel lands while the governments of infidel countries boast of their invincibilities! By the grace of Allah and his Messenger (PBUH), we have a glorious calling: a calling to fight those who threaten and terrorize our way of life! We will take the fight to the infidels themselves and SPILL THEIR BLOOD on THEIR SOIL as they have done on ours! We will slaughter every single man, woman, and child in the United States and abroad until the West finally bends to the will of Allah! Dear Muslim brethren....we invite you on a glorious war against your oppressors! Allah has called you to wage war against the infidels wherever you may find them, so what are you waiting for? Behead them in their own homes, stab them in their streets, bomb their factories, torch their churches, their synagogues-let them know that we will not rest until the Western world capitulates to the will of Allah and bows to him and him alone! ALLAHU AKBAR!*"

## Biography

### Early life

Sharaf Al-Nasir was born in 1968, in Saudi Arabia. Not much is known about his early life, but it is known that he met Osama bin Laden, the founder of Al-Qaeda, sometime in 1996. He became very close to bin Laden, who also became Sharaf's mentor, and indoctrinated him in the teachings of Wahhabi Islam (at least, the Wahhabi Islam that bin Laden himself believed). Sharaf was known to have "celebrated like a madman" when the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attacks occurred, going so far as to throwing a party with his fellow radical Muslim brethren the second he heard the news that two planes struck the World Trade Center in New York City that day.

### Starting a family

Sometime in the spring of 2002, he married a British Muslim woman named Kerry, whom Sharaf also radicalized with help from bin Laden himself. In early summer that same year, he took Kerry on a trip to the Middle East, where he had the chance to introduce Kerry to bin Laden himself. Osama bin Laden and Sharaf Al-Nasir both radicalized Kerry as well, indoctrinating her in the ways of Wahhabi Islam and brainwashing her using bin Laden's rhetoric about attacking the United States.

### Catalyst for revenge

When Osama bin Laden died in 2011 at the hands of a US military raid, Sharaf was saddened and infuriated that his mentor had been killed by the very country he hated his whole life. It was this incident that became the catalyst for Sharaf's obsession with exacting revenge against the United States, as well as any other country that had any ideas to eliminate him.

### Creating Muhammad's Army

In 2011, Sharaf Al-Nasir and some of his other close friends created Muhammad's Army, a new shockingly violent terrorist organization, intending to continue bin Laden's legacy and ensure that his teachings and ideas didn't die with him. Sharaf's charismatic nature won him millions of other radical Muslims who also sympathized with bin Laden, and in 2015, he declared war on ISIS.

### Becoming the new bin Laden

In early 2020, Sharaf Al-Nasir arose to infamy with a viral video in which he pledged to avenge Bin Laden by any means necessary, before threatening televangelist and American pastor Joel Osteen and his family, claiming that his ideology was "poisonous" to Muslims everywherer and a "declaration of war against Allah and his messenger." He called Joel Osteen a "Christian fanatic" motivated by "financial gain" to use his "corrupt" religion to "rob" people and was a threat to Muslims everywhere.
