Now on LiveLeak: Maldives Jihad video – is this Moscow Jaleel?
Posted By HilathYouTube seems to have removed the video due to “terms of use violation”. The person has uploaded the video to LiveLeak.com. So here’s the video again.
My friends who seem to know Moscow Jaleel quite closely says it is indeed him who appears in this video. It’s shocking and sad that somebody we all seems to have known quite closely subscribed to this school of thought which led him down that path.

I totally agree with Mao Hassan, and the sad fact is maldivians and muslims alike keep blaming the west for bombing iraq, israel for the middle east conflict. What do people think? TWO WRONGS MAKE A RIGHT ? No, it doesnt. What these extremists put forward are very wrong too just like the west. Two wrongs will never make right.
Mao Hassan and Hussain:
why do we spend hundreds of millions of rufiyaa every year maintaining a military? why do we let the MNDF train with live ammunition? why do we train our youth to KILL, unless we have the intention to kill, when the need arises!!??
in this globalised 21st century, why is our definition of home, family and neighbor limited to the four walls that surround the building that we sleep in? or to the place our parents happened to have come from?
should a maldivian doctor treat only maldivians? or wait till his family or friends or countrymen are perfectly healthy before he could go on to treat others? or should an architect wait until her house is 10-storey-high before designing someone else’s house?
as the global citizen, why can’t someone travel to help defend another country/village/tribe if she feels that that tribe is being butchered by some murderers who believe that might is right?
On my new blog, I have just presented an important, comprehensive, yet readably sized explanation from Islam that violent Jihad as these extremists understand it is utterly against Islam. I really should have done this earlier…everyone needs to know the points I have made to help end the suffering, violence and sadness.

The real meaning of Jihad
To resort to violence in the path of Jihad when other means are available to promote Adl (Justice) and Rahman (mercy), the originally intended purposes behind the noble concept of Jihad, is a grotesque abuse of the intention and spirit of Jihad. The unnecessary violence and suffering perpetrated in the name of Jihad is un-Islamic, a vile exploitation and degradation of the grand Islamic quest for the restoration of the dignity of oppressed humanity.
Jihad is derived from the Arabic jhd, and literally means to strive from the depth of one’s utmost being, to exert oneself with all ones might. When the Qur’an mentions Jihad, it is preceded by ‘fisabilAllahf (in the path of Allah SWT). The ‘struggle’ often did take the form of physical warfare in the time of the Prophet (SAW), but its purpose and meaning were far deeper than the actual act of war. Jihad was a sacred path of struggle, whole hearted devotion to the quest for the realization of the Rahmat’Allah, the Mercy of Allah for all humanity. Bukhari and Muslim states that our Nabi’ (SAW) said that dying of plague was also a form of Shahada (in this context – martyrdom). Jihad was here so eloquently expressed as a struggle within one’s own self. Later on we hear that ‘the greatest Jihad is Jihad Al Naffs (Jihad against one’s own selfish desires). Classical scholars argue that the hadith of ‘Jihad Al Naffs is the greatest struggle’ lacks reliable isnad (chain of authority) but that does not change the fact that the idea is expressed eloquently in many Sunnah which are Sahih (reliable). For example, we read many times in Bukhari and Muslim that a person who can control his own anger is the best wrestler, not the one who can beat his opponent down.
Al-Qital is the Arabic word in the Qur’an for warfare, and it was a tragedy that Al-Qital became the way Jihad was expressed only due to the violent nature of the tribal society. In the Jahilya (time of ignorance or darkness) many children were being killed because they were considered burdens; you had to kill to prevent your own women and children and other women and children from being killed; to refuse to fight was to put your entire family or loved one’s to death, people were being tortured for being Muslim, or for many reasons. Sirah (Islamic history) reveals that the Prophet (SAW) did everything in his power to change people’s violence and brutality without using violence. He himself was bullied and tortured expressing compassion and acting as a shield for others, his path was one of non-violent self sacrifice for the wellbeing of others. Violence was strictly a last resort when all other means had been thoroughly exhausted to prevent death and torture of the masses at the hands of the tyrannical few.
The self defence aspect of warfare is expressed here in the Qur’an.
Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for Allah loveth not transgressors. And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith. But if they cease, Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful. (2:190-192)
The merciful aspect of fighting in the Qur’an is best expressed by Surah 4: 75, “Why should you not fight for those men, women and children who cry ‘Our Lord rescue us from this town whose people are oppressors, send us one who will protect!”
In depth study by scholars reveals that even the so called aggressive verses which do not appear to be fighting in self defense were against war mongerers who would not relent, those who would not stop oppression and murder, and threats. As the Ummah rose up against the exploitative, degrading, dehumanizing economic power base of Pagans, Jews and Christians, it came to be that to be a Christian or a Jew or a Pagan meant you were charged with a duty to kill Muslims.
Jihad was a sacred path, how it was used, exploited and abused after the time of the Rasul – Sallalahu Alahi wa Salaam, is a different issue, but the point is, Jihad was not about fighting physically though it was expressed as such due to context.
Even the emphasis on Jihad being physical warfare by Sheik-ul-Islam Ibn Tamiyya years later has to be seen in the light of the extent of Mongolian brutality towards the Muslims.
Indeed, Jihad is a duty all Muslims must fulfill; Jihad is the essence of true Islamic dignity. But to use violence to struggle for a dignified humanity when other means are available is an abuse of Jihad. It is never a good thing when something Allah created suffers.
It is deeply tragic that many of the oppressed in Afghanistan, Palestine and other parts of the world have been so beaten down by suffering, tragic loss, violence and utter torture over the years that violence is the only Jihad they know. With the oppressed, we must all strive to have have some sense of Azhabbiya (solidarity), to share theri pain as much as we can in our hearts and to do what we can practically to help end their suffering, and the suffering of all. I make Du’ah that there would be healing, and that there would be paths created so that justice could be achieved without violence. The most tragic aspect of the violence is that it defeats its own purpose in these parts of the world. The more violence is perpetrated against the oppressor’s, the more tyrannical the oppressor’s in these parts of the world behave towards not only the violent, but towards the innocent children living where the violent are living.
It is also Jihad to fight drug addiction, to fight your own lusts and to work to become a better person. That is a Jihad all Muslims could embrace.
I hereby call on every Muslim voice in the world to condemn the violence done in the name of Jihad and to do everything one can to prevent this immense tragedy and humanitarian travesty!.
I welcome any debate on this issue at my blogspot, where I have written this same comment up as a blogpost…
