Suicide attacks theorists relinquish their fatwas

The Leader of the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC) Abdelmalek Droudkel does not allow his followers to check jihad theorists’ revisions who criticised armed acts in Algeria especially suicide attacks, according to repentant terrorists.

• Theorists believe the GSPC’s reference has no religious basis to legitimise its crimes and this appeared in the series of suicide attacks for which the group could not give religious justifications.
• El Para: “be aware of Internet fatwas”
• GSPC founder Hassan Hattab followed by Ammari Saifi had advised people to not believe in those fatwas and CD-Roms which legitimise the killing of Muslims.
• In his statement, Abderrezak El Para gave the example of the so-called jihad mufti in the world who revised his fatwas and revealed the truth about al-Qaeda since its foundation.
• “He denounces all the suicide attacks. So, who remains to legitimise those acts?” said El Para.
• Abdelkader Ben Abdelaziz had issued a fatwa to illegitimatise the kidnapping of foreign tourists. “Foreigners in Muslim countries must not be killed, stolen nor must they be hurt whether they are for tourism or business.”
• Abdelkader Ben Abdelaziz : targeting civilians and foreigners after failure
• Abdelkader Ben Abdelaziz is one of the most well-known jihad theorists in the world. His real name is Said Imam. He wrote a book on jihad which is considered as Al-Qaeda’s constitution.
• In his revisions of his book, Abdelkader Ben Abdelaziz said terrorists hit civilians, foreigners or tourists in Muslim countries to bother authorities. “All this is illegitimate in religion.”
• Abu Mohamed Assem El Mokdissi: be aware of over-stating facts
• El Mokdissi had transmitted a letter to Abu Musab Azzarqaoui, Al-Qaeda’s leader in Iraq when he was alive and leading suicide attacks. He asked him to review the legitimacy of suicide bombings.
• Previously, he released a hand-written statement washing hands of using his books to legitimatise the killing of Muslims.
