Violent Jihad Essential Part of Islam - Noman Benotman

Western leaders are often at odds over how to take on the threat of Islamic terrorism. Al Qaeda, on the other hand, appears totally focused on its mission.

The terrorist group is obsessed with destroying the United States. And according to one former colleague of Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri, they don't care how many innocent civilians are killed in the process.

CBN News recently spoke with former terrorist Noman Benotman in an extensive interview about the inner workings of Al-Qaeda's leadership.

These days, Benotman lives a quiet life in London with his wife and children. But it wasn't long ago that Benotman stood face-to-face with Osama bin Laden.

"He insists on inflicting pain to his enemies," Benotman said of bin Laden. "Beyond your imagination. You can't miss it when you talk with him."

Just one year before 9/11, Benotman joined some 200 of his fellow jihadist leaders from around the world for as meeting in Kandahar, Afghanistan. They were summoned there to discuss strategy with bin Laden and his top deputy, al-Zawahiri.

The two al Qaeda leaders were planning to attack the U.S. homeland - and based on previous weak American responses to acts of terror, they weren't concerned with the repercussions.
"They said, 'Okay, the first time when we attacked the U.S. embassies in Africa, there was maybe about 75 cruise missiles launched against Afghanistan,'" Benotman recalled. "They said, 'Okay, maybe this time there is going to be 200 that will be launched in an attack.' I'm telling you literally: This was their understanding of the conflict."

Benotman told CBN News he warned al-Zawahiri repeatedly that the American response to a major terrorist attack would be massive.

"And he laughed about it, you know?" Benotman recounted. "And he said, 'No, no, no.' He didn't believe it at the time."

Benotman said al-Zawahiri and other jihadists believed that the U.S. was a "paper tiger" whose bark was worse than its bite. Bin Laden told Benotman at that Kandahar meeting that he had one more big operation to conduct - then he would retire.

"If any Muslim appears and says 'Okay, there is no jihad in Islam whatsoever,' please believe me, he is a liar," said Benotman. "A pure liar. People, they need to face it because it is a serious issue. Jihad, it's part of Islam because it is something that's in the Koran. There is more than 40 verses, I think, in the Koran that mention jihad."
Benotman said bin Laden's top deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, was even more ruthless.
"He is the most extremist person in al Qaeda," Benotman explained. "He is extremely extreme. More than bin Laden. The word, or the concept, 'civilians,' it doesn't exist in al-Zawahiri's reality or ideology."
That's why Benotman decided to write a personal letter to his old colleague in 2007. He slammed al-Zawahiri for targeting innocent civilians and called on al Qaeda to cease all operations against the West and in Muslim countries. The letter was widely publicized in the Islamic world.

"We should throw in their faces the flesh of their sons, minced and grilled." - Ayman al-Zawahiri, Jihad Bulletin, Dec. 1997

I think all Zawahiri is in this quote.

@AchievementSpanker you say nothing, it is what it is. the problem about this is that the fucking terrorists have fucked up the whole idea of what "jihad" is and I don't blame you or anyone that thinks bad of it. You might think Jihad is just going ape-shit on the non-believers but trust me its not. But then again, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Just hope you can see past those waste scumbags who call themselves "True Muslims"

Islamist swines killed Buddhist familiy and beheaded 9 year old boy, what have Buddhist done to muslims? the only reason why muslims hate is because of our non-islamic roots. But of course like muslims always do they will fabricate up stories and justify why they are killing Buddhist by making a fake Buddhist genocide on muslims stories and spread it around and write down in books.

Islam is the only true satanic force and only a non-muslim unity can combat it.

@Eaglewing17

i am a muslim and i agree. All the difference lies in what actually is to be called a jihad. There are many qualifiers for a JIHAD to take place which many muslims and certainly the entire of the west is heedless of.

Jihad is a must for me.

All what needs to be understood is when and how it should be conducted. It is a very pure and beautiful concept only if the killers of innocent lives knew!
