Taliban Formations Largely Intact, Say will Give Up Kandahar

{War news: A U.S. helicopter crashed in flames at the U.S. air strip
set up
south of Kandahar. It was attributed to an "accident"; at the same time
reporters on the spot reported the U.S. troops were on high alert as
there
were signs of attempts to penetrate the perimeter. Firing went on for a
while
in the night.}
{At the foot of the Tora Bora hills, two attacks on Al-Qaida fighters
by
Afghan mercenaries backed by B-52 bombers were repulsed, one on Dec. 5
and
one on Dec.6)
(Following analysis by But Shikan):
TALIBAN WILLING TO GIVE UP KANDAHAR: On December 6, a surprise deal was
made
between the Taliban and Mr. Karzai, the newly appointed "Prime
Minister" of
"Post-Taliban" Afghanistan. The Taliban will be allowed to withdraw to
their
villages in good order, leaving their heavy weapons behind. In return
for
their not fighting, their prisoners will be released. Kandahar will be
turned
over to the forces of Mullah Naqibullah, a Soviet-era mujahid leader,
not to
Karazai. Thus the Taliban are not recognizing the set-up arranged in
Bonn.
WHY NOT FIGHT ON?
1. The Taliban have not suffered any heavy losses and their remarkable
discipline is intact. They could fight on.
2. The American bombing has made normal life impossible, has destroyed
the
infrastructure of city life and has created a humanitarian catastrophe.
3. The Taliban are a guerrilla force. Any fighting in fixed positions
against
the most powerful air force in the world would destroy its guerrilla
potential.
3a. The U.S. knows that it can't fight these lions of Allah man to man.
Hence
the U.S. has not rushed in with its own forces, relying rather on
tribals,
mercenaries and Afghan bandits behind a curtain of bombs. In the few
brushes
with the Taliban, the U.S. forces came off second best.
4. The Taliban willingness to give up authority in Kandahar also puts
Karazai
and the Pashtuns in general to the test. Karazai will now learn whether
he
can make a deal which will save the Pashtuns or will he have to follow
American orders?

IN AN OVERALL GRAPH OF MODERN HISTORY, ISLAM IS EMERGING VICTORIOUS. In
1988,
the Soviets were defeated in Afghanistan and the USSR disintegrated. In
2001,
Islam challenged America, which was unthinkable in military terms even
for
Imam Khomeini. The Muslims are withdrawing under the impact of superior
American firepower but the oppressed have seen the challenge and the
defiance. The world will never be the same.
WHICH OTHER NATION COULD WITHSTAND BOMBING FOR 60 DAYS WITHOUT AIR
COVER?
This was faith against B-52s. Faith has won but the poor masses
suffered too
much; hence the withdrawal. Observers say that the U.S. army would
surrender
in a day or two if it was faced by similar air power without air cover.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE DANGER, observers say, is that the U.S. marines will attack when
the
Taliban start withdrawing without their heavy weapons. The Iraqis were
similarly attacked and slaughtered when they left Kuwait with their
tank guns
muzzled.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On December 6, America's Jewish aspirant to power, Joseph Lieberman,
urged on
Fox News, about 11.15 pm, that the U.S. must attack Iraq to get rid of
Saddam
Hussain. He also urged the creation of a "northern alliance" in Iraq.
Muslims should realize that the stories against President Saddam
Hussain are
largely myths created by propaganda. Since 1990 he has focused on
opposing
Israel and the U.S. The Jews want him out. The Islamic movement should
recognize this fact. Al-Raees Saddam Hussain is no longer an enemy of
Islam
though he is very vigilant and ruthless against his powerful enemies
who want
to destroy him and Iraq. President Hussain today has more popular
support in
Iraq than ever before.

HAMAS Islamic leader Shaikh Yasin has been put under house arrest by
Arafat.
The Israelis are using rocket fire to "help" Arafat to go ahead and do
their
dirty work for them. It's obvious now that "terrorism" and "authentic
Islam"
are interchangable terms in the lingo of Bush and the Zionist media.

Sis. Hamdiyah Abdul-Aleem, a media watch activist, has answered the
hate mail
we received from Mauri Salaakhan and Yahya (John) of
ININ@ININ.NET. She writes:
"Dear Saalakhan (and your friend Yahya),
"I wanted to write to you ever since I read the letter that you sent to
Imam
Kaukab Siddique of Baltimore, Maryland and New Trend Magazine regarding
his
loyalty to Allah Ta’ala, the Prophet Muhammad (saw), Islam, and the
Imam’s
defense of the World’s Muslim Ummah.
It seems as if you do not understand why Imam Siddique writes about the
friends of the enemies of Islam the way he does. I am not a learned
person
but, is it not his duty to help the Muslims who stray to a way back to
the
“Straight Path?”
You named several groups in your letter who came under attack from not
only
Imam Siddique but many of the Muslims of this world. You seem to
believe
that it is right according to Islam that we should accept the
oppression,
slaughter, starving, internment, and all of the other atrocities being
committed against those who love Allah (SWT) under the guise of “a war
against (or on) terrorism” (a.k.a. war against or on Islam). A'oozu
billahi
minash-shaitanir-rajeem!
One of the greatest enemies of Islam, the son of
another of the greatest enemies of Islam, said out of his very own
mouth
that the actions he has ordered is a “crusade.” What else do you (and
whomever from C.A.I.R wrote the message demanding that the Muslims stop
disbelieving in the sincerity of george bush jr.) need to know?
How many of the countries named by bush jr. to be attacked are not
Muslim
dominated countries? Why is that? Do you believe that only Muslim
countries have residents who are against the foreign policies of the US
government? Was Timothy McVeigh Muslim, from a Muslim country? A
country
cannot attack itself, but why are comrades of Timothy McVeigh not being
interned as the innocent Muslims are being interned, tortured,
isolated,
and, on at least one occasion, killed? Do you believe that he
(McVeigh) was
the sole perpetrator of the Oklahoma bombing? Do you believe that the
term
used most freely by the comrades of bush jr. (“collateral damage”),a
same
term first made popular by Timothy McVeigh, is merely a coincidence?
Do you
believe that the oil, natural gas, gold, other precious metals, and the
position of Afghanistan in Central Asia has absolutely no bearing on
the
attack against Afghanistan? How about the knowledge that the Taliban
refused to give the rights away to the oilmen responsible for attacking
and
destroying the poorest country in the world in order to kill “one” man?
Why
do these oilmen who brought Usama to the US and greeted him with a
reception
want him dead?
Why do they want military tribunals (secret) if, for some
reason, he is not killed? Why do they not want him to testify in a
public
trial? Perhaps the lack of even “circumstantial evidence” has
something to
do with it. Now, are the preceding questions any reason at all for
devastating a country that was desperately poor to start with? Yet,
you
support the enemies of Islam against the Muslims of the world and
anyone who
stands up for Islam as we have been commanded by Allah Ta’ala and told
by
the Beloved Prophet Muhammad (saw).
And what about Palestine? Do you believe that the Zionist have the
right to
exterminate the Palestinians for “fighting back” against occupation,
slaughter, torture of Palestinian children, aggression, evil?” Why are
some
people referred to as “freedom fighters,” while others (unacceptable to
people of european descent) are considered terrorist? These are the
types
of concerns that Imam Siddique fight against, as well as, exposing
those who
say that they are Muslims while taking the enemies of Islam as friends
against Muslims, and attempting to sway those who love Allah (SWT) and
the
Prophet Muhammad (saw) to take those enemies of Islam as friends.
Were you one of those who “broke bread” with the enemies of Islam on
the
first day of Ramadhan, even though the man “at the head of the table”
is the
very man who ordered the destruction of the poorest country in the
world
(even throughout Ramadhan) and has stopped (and attempting to stop in
the
future) the Muslims from paying their duty to their Lord by aiding
those in
need during Ramadhan and throughout the world. Do you want the Muslim
Ummah
to accept a man who has stolen the presidency of the American people as
an
honorable and truthful man? Do you want the Muslims of this world to
accept
a man who, on several occasions, invited a known war criminal and
staunch
hater of Muslims to the white house of America and gave him and
additional
$2.7 billion to speed up the extermination of the Palestinian people?
Are
these the people you choose to defend and at the same time, attempt to
degrade a man who defends Islam with his mouth, his pen, and, as you so
joyfully mentioned, his body? How dare you?
If you fear the enemies of Islam more than you fear the wrath of Allah
Ta’
ala, then so be it. But while you’re at it, perhaps you had better
send
letters such as the one you sent to Imam Kaukab Siddique to the authors
of
the following fatwah:"
