Letter of a terrorist: the brutal, honest truth

A letter written by Abu Musab Al Zarqawi was found by the U.S. in Iraq. As always, reading through the letter of a Muslim terrorist was quite... interesting, and confirms just what kind of evil, and yet fully convicted people we are dealing with in the war on terror.

In his letter, Zarqawi wrote short overviews on different religions and muslims, as well as he felt they should be treated. Upon reading the section in regards to America, I had to share some of the his honest statements with you;

"There is no doubt that the Americans’ losses are very heavy because they are deployed across a wide area and among the people and because it is easy to procure weapons, all of which makes them easy and mouth-watering targets for the believers. But America did not come to leave, and it will not leave no matter how numerous its wounds become and how much of its blood is spilled. It is looking to the near future, when it hopes to disappear into its bases secure and at ease and put the battlefields of Iraq into the hands of the foundling government with an army and police that will bring the behavior of Saddam and his myrmidons back to the people. There is no doubt that the space in which we can move has begun to shrink and that the grip around the throats of the mujahidin has begun to tighten. With the deployment of soldiers and police, the future has become frightening."

This man, a terrorist who fought and died for his Muslim convictions, stated clearly in this letter that he and his men are being defeated by the U.S.; despite the fact (which he states in a later excerpt) that we are "cowardly" people. This attitude of knowing we are a stronger force than they are, and yet stubbornly fighting on, is the attitude we are facing with all terrorists. No matter how badly they are wounded or restricted, they will never stop fighting, for their religion has bred in them a hate to deep and too evil to dissuade.

And finally, Zarqawi highlights four of Al-Qaeda's worst enemies; (with the Americans as number one) the Kurds, Soldiers, police, and agents, and the Shi'a

1. The Americans

"These, as you know, are the most cowardly of God’s creatures. They are an easy quarry, praise be to God. We ask God to enable us to kill and capture them to sow panic among those behind them and to trade them for our detained shaykhs and brothers." (Italics mine)

Abu Musab Al Zarqawi was a terrorist. He led the fighting group of Al-Qaeda, with his anger for anyone non-Muslim pushing him along. On June 7th, 2006 Abu Musab Al Zarqawi was killed by U.S. forces.

We are not just winning the war in Iraq. We have already won.
