| The Untold Story of Mujahid Abu Hamza Al-Urdani |
| 2007-09-24 |
| From Jihad Unspun I mean the heroic Mujahid, the lofty mountain (Nidal Arabiyat), or Abu Mohammed, professor of the science of booby-trapping in Mesopotamia, the first to establish its pillars and lay its foundations and the credit is due to him after Allah, in booby trapping cars. This professor deserves the merit after Allah in most of the martyrdom operations that preceded his death, starting with Al–Hakim and a passage by “Dimlu” in the United Nations and the Italian forces, in the dens of the disbelievers in Shahin hotel and Nabil’s restaurant, and all the other major martyrdom operations, so let’s take a look at him closely: He was a calm young man, good natured, kind-hearted always smiling. His talk was never free of a nice joke or nice comment. .... |

| #12 Did somebody say musk? That's not what I smell. And what's so flowery about booby-trapping a car? They're talking about burning gasoline, plastic and rubber and children screaming when it burns them. They're talking about shards of glass and metal fragments killing innocent people. It's painful and it stinks. See, this is the problem with asking people to learn Arabic: they might start thinking like Arabs which means thinking about destruction instead of creation because they've been corrupted by the devil's book. Our military guys don't pretend to be poetic. They know the language they use is unpleasant because it's an unpleasant business so it's much better to be efficient and get it over with. |

| #11 I think JU is dropping its standards, the almost unarmed Lion Of Islam™ killed only 5 of the follish and thieving crusaders, and destroyed only a mere humvee. I thought it was at least 10 and one MBT, armed only with a koran and a smile. |

| #10 I didn't know that, mhw. I studied Tanach, but not Midrash. Joseph's was acquired rather than innate because of Heavenly favour, though. |

| #9 tw, there is a very old medresh (I think from Gen Rabba) that, due to his ride in the spice caravan, Joseph's remains had a pleasing order and that was how Moses id'ed the body in order to bring it to the promised land. |

| #8 It's like the bodies of Christian saints were believed to smell of the gardens of heaven instead of rotting flesh like normal mortals. "See? His corpse doesn't stink like Uncle Abdul, so he must be a true martyr, enjoying his 72 doe-eyed virgins in Paradise!" |

| #7 Abu Hurairah reported that the Messenger of Allah [that's Mo] said: “Every deed of the Son of Adam will be rewarded ten to seven hundred times its worth. Allah, Mighty and Sublime, said: ‘Except for the fast, for indeed it is for Me, and I will reward it. He leaves off his desires and his food for My sake. There are two times of joy for the one fasting. The time of joy when he breaks his fast and the time of joy when he meets His lord. And the scent coming from the mouth of the one fasting is more pleasant in the sight of Allah than the smell of musk.’" from two different haditha Al-Bukhaaree (4/103) Muslim (1151) |

| #6 The 'scent of musk'? Is that some Islamic hocus-pocus that means someone was raised up? Or just a poetic way of saying the place stunk like rotten flesh? |

| #5 Ah yes, the martyr thingee. Everyone wants to be a rock star in the mideast. The muzzies don't mind spreading the guff more than a wee bit. |

| #4 He was a calm young man, good natured, kind-hearted always smiling. His talk was never free of a nice joke or nice comment..... In his spare time, he enjoyed writing poetry, long walks on the beach, and posting to his Daily Kos diary. |
