Shi'a Pundit

Devoted to the viewpoint of Islam of Muhammad SAW and Amir ul-Mumineen, Ali ibn Abi Talib SA, in the Shi'a Fatimi Ismaili Dawoodi Bohra tradition.

I condemn.

All those who brought 9-11-2001 to pass, are condemned for murdering the innocent, and for waging unjust harabah against the teaching of Islam. As Almighty Allah revealed in the holy Qur'an,

We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our messengers with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land. Those who wage war against Allah and His prophet, kill the believers and plunder their property shall be disgraced in this world, and for them is a dreadful doom in the hereafter. (5:32-33)

All those who rationalize the events of 9-11 as righteous, or dare to ascribe Allah's justice to these craven acts of evil men, are on a dark path and their redemption is not my concern.

All those who perished on 9-11 are American martyrs and I pray that they are welcomed to the afterlife on the wings of Allah's mercy.
