Refuting the Conspiracies Surrounding As-Sahab Media

[Christopher Marlowe]

This is the craziest shit you have ever read. Anyone who could read this and believe it has sh*t for brains.

Basically, this is a document from "As-Sahib Media"    explaining that Al Qaeda was indeed responsible for 9/11, and it is refuting any "conspiracy theories" about the CIA or israel doing it.  Oh yes.  These motherf*ckers in a cave in a supersecret location are pissed off that they are not getting the credit for 9/11, so they had to publish this little manuscript.  

This is kind of a funny idea.  Too bad the Onion thought of it first:

I don't know if George Orwell is turning over in his grave or if he is pissing his pants with laughter. I am amazed at the level of retardedness in the general public if they cannot see see through this.  

I'll quote the 9/11 bit first, and the really curious can read the rest, which is actually the first part, down below that.  

(And also there is a Guardian article in between....I know it's a lot to read, but CSR is on vacation and I'm filling in. )

c) Regarding the conspiracy theories of the bombs in the Twin Towers and no
plane hitting the Pentagon.

The question that people pose here is, "The proof that Usaamah bin Laadin was
not behind 9/11 and that America was is the proof that there were bombs that
went off in the twin towers which had a lot to do with bringing it down. In
addition, the building went down the way any building implosion would work.
Furthermore, if one were to look at the picture of the Pentagon after the attack, it
becomes clear that it's impossible for a plane to hit the building since there were
no remains of the plane left nor where there any indications on the building that
two wings had smashed into it; rather, it only looks like a large hole in the
center."

Our response is similar to the last one: it was a military strategy, but not like any
other. Of course, I wouldn't know for sure but I'm only making excuses for my
fellow Muslims and thinking of the various military strategic possibilities. Before
I mention them though, I think it is important that I briefly talk about the
military capabilities of al-Qaa'idah.

Al-Qaa'idah, as some have said, is like a military institute that is similar to
Harvard; everyone wants to get in but only a selected few actually make it. I'm
not saying that all of the Ummah wants to join their movement, but rather their
movement is extremely sophisticated as it is not simply a bunch of Muslims with
Turbans, AK47s and Slippers who fight globally. Rather, their movement
consists of experienced generals, fighters, weapon makers & sellers, IT
Professionals, Scientists, Doctors, Engineers and so on that are experts in their
respective fields just as Harvard has the best of the best in different educational
fields. Of course, there might be some who are new to the military field that joins
in, but I hold the opinion that the movement is more sophisticated than what
most Muslims think. I'm basing my evidences on the following:

1. Shaykh Usaamah's spy: 'Ali Muhammad. This individual penetrated the CIA
for more than 20 years. Just do a search on him to find more information on what
kind military genius he was. For many years he was spying for Shaykh Usaamah
on the CIA; so you can imagine all the information he passed on. Perhaps 'Ali
Muhammad didn't know it, but there is a possibility that he was the main help
for the 9/11 attacks to succeed since carrying out such a massive attack would
probably need some top secret government information especially in relation to
the attack on the Pentagon.

So if someone like that can exist, then who knows what other spies and how
many active spies he has currently working in the Governments around the
world. So his movement can be invisible to its enemies; this is one thing we can
easily learn from 'Ali Muhammad's situation. And since their invisibility has
such sophistication, there could be thousands of possibilities on how they obtain
information and how they commence attacks. For instance, the Pentagon was
convinced that the Government of China tried hacking into their systems. How
do we know that it wasn't the "invisible Mujaahideen" living in China working
for the Government as spies for Shaykh Usaamah that carried out this attack?
Although it might not be true, there is always the possibility since they have
proven to the world that they are capable of being invisible and penetrating deep
into a Government's intelligence agency.

2. Some of the large scale attacks that they were behind such as the explosion in
Riyadh, the American Embassies in Africa, and the secret UN meeting in 'Iraaq
 as well as the secret meeting of the Israeli Zionists in Jordan (which were both
led by Abu Mus'ab Az-Zarqawi). There are certainly much more than these, but
just these few testify to the fact that this movement is no ordinary military
organization. They are well organized and trained, and in most cases, seem to be
two steps ahead of their enemies (as Western Journalists have mentioned).
So if they are capable of doing such large scale operations, then we should realize
that we are dealing with an Army that has plenty of scientists, strategists,
military generals, trained explosive experts, doctors, engineers, IT Specialists,
weapon trainers, media experts and so on; they have all this and more and yet
they are able to stay invisible, undetectable. The only time they are detectable is
when they want to be detected such as their face-to-face battles in Afghanistan.
Therefore, we are talking about a movement that is jam packed with specialists
in different fields, and are as light as a feather, as fast as a fly, as strong as a
violent wind, and as watchful as a hawk. They don't have any single nationality,
race, or uniform; they are united by one creed from all corners of the globe. So
their influence has spread, from what is apparent, from Afghanistan to 'Iraaq,
Bosnia, Chechnya, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Somalia, Thailand,
Philippines, Indonesia, Pakistan, India, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Uzbekistan,
Tajikstan, Turkey, Maldives, Eritrea, China, Egypt, Oman, Sudan, Nigeria,
Tunisia, Yemen, Libya, Morocco, Iran, Chad, Australia, Canada, America,
Germany and many parts of Europe.5

If you were part of the Kaafir military and took part in this "war on terror" and
had to deal with an army that's this big and has expert abilities yet is invisible,
and is able to cause tremendous damage, and on top of all this, is able to recruit
more members without physically recruiting anyone, you would quickly realize
how useless this "war on terror" is. Even if you had spy satellites hovering over
every single Country at the same time, you still wouldn't be able to shutdown
such an army.

The only problem with this invisibility issue – if this is a problem – is that those
who are susceptible to Western propaganda or conspiracy theories will think al-
Qaa'idah to be some crooks who "hate America for its freedoms" or that they are
some CIA plot. But this isn't a problem for those who think deeply about simple
war strategies.

On a side note, As-Sahab Media has never released the strategies of how they
carried out the 9/11 operation in detail; the furthest they have gone was to say
some general remarks of the success of some strategic operations and passing of

5 These Countries are mentioned specifically because there is solid proof of al-Qaa'idah's
influence in such lands such as what is passed from their media as well as the media of other
Mujaahideen supporters as well as the media of the disbelievers.

obstacles.6 In my opinion, that was a smart move from a strategic point of view;
if they were to reveal their tactics and military strategies in detail, it would be
foolish since they wouldn't be able to pull it off again. And that's the scary part
about fighting such an army. They have shown the world continuously that they
are able to do large scale attacks repeatedly. In addition, everyone knows that
they pulled of the attacks on the American Embassies in Africa, yet As-Sahab has
not detailed those strategies for a purpose.

Now that you have realized the influence and abilities of this movement (which
is actually global), let's now talk about the possible military strategies of how
something like 9/11 was pulled off, debunking all the myths of it being an inside
job by the Government.

Regarding the Twin Towers, there could be many possibilities; in reality, we are
just picturing how it would be possible for an army that's that good to pull off
silent maneuvers without getting caught. So for the bombs that occurred in the
two buildings, it can be due to their strategic planning from the best of engineers
in the movement who have visited the compound hundreds of times; in fact, the
engineers probably had jobs there. So let's say that this group (either from the 19
hijackers or from other Mujaahideen within the movement) was working there
for 5 – 10 years. In addition, let's say a few of them are security officers for the
two buildings. So from this, they probably would study the weaknesses of the
buildings as well as its strength. Then they probably thought about where to
place implosion devices throughout the building without it ever being detected
by janitors and other security officers, officials, and inspectors. So perhaps this
step took a few years or so. And there you go; you have an implosion.
Now the US Government did keep silent about the implosions for most of the
time. This is probably due to a few reasons:

a) They don't want to admit to a gigantic security breach. If America was to
reveal that it was a security breach, then no American would feel safe in their
office buildings or even at home with the most high tech security system. It is
absurd to think that the Twin Towers didn't have a high tech security system; I
wouldn't be surprised if it had one of the best in the world. So for something like
this to be breached by a few individuals (or maybe much more than a few) is a
huge embarrassment on the Government's part and it only adds insult to injury.
So perhaps the Government has been trying their best to avoid the issue in order
to avoid chaos and worries.

6 The "Knowledge is for Acting Upon" documentary from As-Sahab mentions briefly the tactics.

b) Maybe the implosion devices were already there in the first place during the
building of the twin towers for whatever reason (such as emergency or if
something outrageous was to occur). So the Government didn't want to discuss
that as it probably would be highly confidential.
Again this is just speculation on why the Government kept silent for most of the
time. Only Allah knows best. But this, in no way, can be used as evidence that
"Al-Qaa'idah has nothing to do with 9/11 and this was clearly an inside job." It
is absurd to suggest such a thing after proving the authenticity of As-Sahab
Media.

Moving onto the issue of the plane hitting the Pentagon, some say, "Since it is
clear that a plane could not have hit the Pentagon, it was an inside job."
Here are some possibilities which we have come up with:

a) Never has As-Sahab Media said once that they hit the Pentagon with an
Airplane.
b) And if a plane did hit, then perhaps it disintegrated or it was a small airliner
or jet as some eye witnesses have suggested.
c) They could have planted a bomb there or perhaps did a martyrdom operation;
perhaps some of them worked at the Pentagon for a few years as janitors or
whatever position and figured out the required timings and needs to pull off
such an operation.

I will admit though that this is much harder to think deeply about since the
official US Government report says that an airliner crashed into the Pentagon. I
can't really think of any reasons why they would lie about it except it also being
a security breach and its embarrassment. Imagine if they said to the American
public that some Muslims were working at the Pentagon for a few years,
penetrated far into the security, and blew up the world's most secure building!!
That's something that would make someone laugh at the security abilities of
America. In addition, that would make nearly every American cringe at the idea
of security and how weak America is and how they were penetrated by a "bunch
of rag-tags" or "camel jockeys." Can you imagine their embarrassment to not
only their fellow citizens, but to the world at large? The world's most powerful
military on her knees.

Maybe that's why Shaykh Usaamah has repeatedly said that no one except "19
young men brought America – the worlds most feared military – down to her
knees in humiliation and defeat." If my analysis is correct, can you then imagine
the colossal embarrassment?
Again, these are just possibilities based upon what al-Qaa'idah has the ability to
do and pull off; and we have discussed this earlier.

Let's move on to the next point.

d) Regarding the issue of the FBI taking security camera footage from local
hotels/gas stations after the attacks on the Pentagon.

This could be related to the security breach that we discussed in the last point as
well as the point before. Had the tapes been available, the world would have
witnessed the world's greatest security breach.

Let's move on.

e) Regarding the Jews celebrating when seeing the Twin Towers attacked.
A story about some Israeli's standing on their van, celebrating the attacks whilst
the buildings were on fire appeared all over the net some years ago. Of course,
that in itself is not credible evidence that Israel was behind it since it is possible
that a member of al-Qaa'idah warned Israel7 telling them to give up their
oppression or else they and their masters would be attacked in New York; and it
could be that Israel was waiting for such an attack since the public would then
become more sympathetic towards their cause against the Palestinians. And yes,
there were Israeli Companies working in the twin towers, so perhaps that also
explains the conspiracy theory that no Jew showed up for work that day. And
Allah knows best.
It surely is something many of us would like to believe simply because it puts the
blame on the Israeli Government. But just because many of us hate Israel with a
passion doesn't mean they did it.
f) Regarding the warnings that America received before the invasion
This could be the same reason as we mentioned in the last point regarding the
claims of Israel knowing prior to the attacks.
g) Regarding the letter America sent Mullah 'Umar before 9/11

7 There actually was an incident where Benjamin Netanyahu, the 9th PM of Israel, claimed that he
was informed of the attacks prior to the event.

Adam Yahya Ghadan (a.k.a., 'Azzam al-Amreeki) spoke in one of the As-Sahab
releases about how America sent threats to Mullah 'Umar in Afghanistan for
various reasons. So Adam said that in response to this insulting letter, they gave
America a surprise and that was 9/11. Of course, that wasn't the main reason
why they did the attack; the whole attack was a retaliation of the American
crimes upon the Ummah as stated by Shaykh Usaamah in various recordings.
Now there are many other minor issues surrounding 9/11 but what I hoped to
have brought to everyone's attention is that creativity can be used, especially in
defense of a Muslim Army which has amazing capabilities. We can all be creative
if we choose to. Some of us would rather have a tunnel vision regarding the
events and are satisfied without verifying.

Finally, we proved that As-Sahab Media is an authentic department of Jihaadee
media. I have done my best to refute various arguments which I saw as baseless
from an Islaamic perspective. Furthermore, I've tried my best to debunk 9/11
myths such as it being an inside job. I hope nobody looks at this and thinks that
I'm defending the Kaafir Taaghoot; I would never do such an evil act. Some
might think that since I'm essentially repeating what the American Government
repeats – but with evidences – such as As-Sahab Media exists and that Shaykh
Usaamah was behind 9/11, that in some way I'm defending the Taaghoot; again,
this is not the case whatsoever. I am a simple onlooker who has seen baseless
arguments for a very long time coming from Muslim and Kaafir conspiracies
regarding As-Sahab Media. If one were to watch all of their videos – and there
are hundreds of them – they would know that As-Sahab Media is simply doing
their best to instill the love for Jihaad fe Sabeelillaah in our hearts and minds.
And to do such a thing is a Sunnah of mammoth scales which does not benefit
the Kuffaar as much as it benefits the Muslims.

Al-Qaida calls on Ahmadinejad to end 9/11 conspiracy theories
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/se ... racy/print
Terrorist organisation's magazine[!?! - How does one subscribe to Al-Qaida magazine?] reportedly says it is 'ridiculous' for Iran's president to blame the attacks on the US government

Al-Qaida has sent a message to the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, asking him to stop spreading conspiracy theories about the 9/11 attacks.

Iranian media on Wednesday reported quotes from what appears to be an article published in the latest issue of the al-Qaida English language magazine, Inspire, which described Ahmadinejad's remarks over the 11 September attacks as "ridiculous".

In his UN general assembly speech last week, Ahmadinejad cast doubt over the official version of the 2001 attacks.

"The Iranian government has professed on the tongue of its president Ahmadinejad that it does not believe that al-Qaida was behind 9/11 but rather, the US government," the article said, according to Iranian media. "So we may ask the question: why would Iran ascribe to such a ridiculous belief that stands in the face of all logic and evidence?"

Ahmadinejad said in New York that the "mysterious September 11 incident" had been used as a pretext to attack Afghanistan and Iraq. He had also previously expressed scepticism at the US version of events.

"By using their imperialistic media network which is under the influence of colonialism, they threaten anyone who questions the Holocaust and the September 11 event with sanctions and military actions," said Ahmadinejad.

The al-Qaida article insisted it had been behind the attacks and criticised the Iranian president for discrediting the terrorist group.

"For them, al-Qaida was a competitor for the hearts and minds of the disenfranchised Muslims around the world," said the article published in the Inspire magazine. "Al-Qaida ... succeeded in what Iran couldn't. Therefore it was necessary for the Iranians to discredit 9/11 and what better way to do so? Conspiracy theories."

Al-Qaida also accused Iran of hypocrisy over its "anti-Americanism".

The article said: "For Iran, anti-Americanism is merely a game of politics. It is anti-America when it suits it and it is a collaborator with the US when it suits it, as we have seen in the shameful assistance Iran gave to the US in its invasion of Afghanistan and in the Shia of Iraq, backed by Iran, bringing the American forces into the country and welcoming them with open arms."

During his visit to New York, Ahmadinejad also changed his position on gay people in Iran. He had previously famously said: "We don't have homosexuals [in Iran] like you do in your country. This does not exist in our country."

But according to the American news website the Daily Beast, in a meeting with a number of journalists last week, he said: "In Iran, homosexuality is seen as an ugly act ... There may be some people who are homosexuals who are in touch with you. But in Iranian society they're ashamed to announce it so they're not known. This is an act against God and his prophets. But we as the government can't go out and stop people."

1. Introduction
Verily, all praise is due to Allah. We praise Him, seek refuge with Him, and seek
His Forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allah from the evils of our souls and the
mistakes in our actions. Whoever Allah Guides, there is none who can misguide
him, and whoever Allah misguides, there is none who can guide him. And I
testify that there is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah, and I testify
that Muhammad (sallallahu 'alayhi wassallam) is his servant and Messenger.
To proceed:
After the 11th of September, the world has been engulfed in the webs of the
conspiracy theorists who have concluded almost unanimously that the attacks on
New York and Washington were an "inside job" perpetrated by the United
States Government. To the general public, the conclusions sounded to be upon
solid grounds especially since the Science of their theories were present.
As time passed, we noticed that those who were clinging firmly to their beloved
conspiracy theorist(s) – such as Alex Jones – were ignoring a vital and direct
confrontation to their opinion. It was this confrontation which shook the
foundations of the conspiracy theories and the only response the theorists and
their vibrant followers had was to label this confrontation as a "CIA plot" or
"Government plan to fool its citizens." Thus they painted the confrontation with
weak arguments in order to continue the road of their theories. This
confrontation which is a thorn on their path, as we know it, is called As-Sahab
Media.
For one to ignore As-Sahab Media whilst clinging onto a theory of the theorist is
imbalance on the scales of justice. This is what we wish to prove in this paper
and its importance and relevance will become clear to you as you turn the pages,
bi idhnillaah. We feel this is an important document for all to read in order to fix
a mistake which many of us hold in our minds as Muslims.
Let me first state for the Kuffaar and Munaafiqeen that read this (just in case the
Zionists or foolish ones try to make up some baseless conclusion) that: (1) I am
not part of As-Sahab Media in any way or form, (2) I don't know anyone from
As-Sahab Media nor anyone that knows their members, (3) All I know of As-
Sahab Media is what I have watched from their videos and read from their
statements and what the Mujaahideen of other groups say about them in their
official releases as well as what the disbelievers say about them in their
documentaries and interviews, (4) I am not part of any Jihaadee group,
movement or organization; I am simply an independent writer who feels that
some ideas need to be clarified.
Refuting the Conspiracies Surrounding As-Sahab Media

Furthermore, I wish to clarify that I am not associated with the United States
Government in any shape or form, and that I am not writing this in their favor.
Verily, my animosity and hatred is towards them, for the sake of Allah, until
they leave the Muslims alone in their affairs and give up their worship of those
besides Allah.
With that said, I will discuss the following:
1. How do we know that As-Sahab Media is authentic and not some CIA plot?
2. How do we know for sure that Shaykh Usaamah bin Laadin was behind the
9/11 invasion? How do we answer the conspiracy theories of Alex Jones and
such who say 9/11 was an inside job or that it was done by the Israeli Mossad?
I ask Allah to help me in this endeavor and to help me untie the knot in my
tongue in order to make the reality clear for mankind.

1. How do we know that As-Sahab Media is authentic and not some CIA plot?
As we know, Allah Ta'aala says,
يا أَيها الَّذين آمنوا إِنْ جاءَكُم فَاسق بِنبإٍ فَتبينوا أَنْ تصيبوا قَوما بِجهالَة فَتصبِحوا علَى ما فَعلْتم نادمين
O ye who believe! If a Faasiq comes to you with any news, ascertain the truth,
lest ye harm people unintentionally and afterwards become full of repentance
for what ye have done. (49: 6)
I quote this aayah because I feel this is how we need to approach this subject.
Instead of making evil assumptions and suspicions about a group of Muslims,
we should follow our religion when it comes to its guidelines for following the
stronger evidence. This is because if we don't follow such guidelines, then it is
possible that we fall under those whom Allah said, "lest ye harm people
unintentionally" and perhaps not even repent!
Going back to the subject, let's follow this aayah and speak about the generality
of its guidelines.
Generally speaking, as Muslims, we are supposed to follow our fellow Muslims
who are apparently pious and trustworthy in what they say about certain affairs
which are out of our reach. If a Kaafir says otherwise about the same affair, then
we ignore his claims until it can be proven. If the Kaafir brings credible evidences
against the claim of the Muslims – such as his theories about 9/11 – and the
Muslims [who claimed it] do not respond, then we should still believe in our
brothers until we are able to verify from them (i.e., Muslims) instead of rejecting
the brothers and throwing doubts upon them; we are allowed to still keep those
questions in our minds from the credible evidences of the Kuffaar (or other
Muslims), but we don't use them against our fellow brothers until we verify from
them (in whatever way) and we are clear on their stance. This is because in some
cases, these Muslims will hold back some information from the public for the
benefit of the strategy that is in use by them.
So let's now bring As-Sahab Media into the picture.
Before we filter out a few things, let's briefly discuss who As-Sahab Media is:
1. They are the official media branch of al-Qaa'idah. The quality of their media
first didn't start off too great (but was still good); eventually they became the best
of the best.
Refuting the Conspiracies Surrounding As-Sahab Media
7
2. Their media consists of (mostly) videos, audios and brief statements.
3. Their media is geared towards reviving the great Sunnah and Fard of Jihaad fe
Sabeelillaah in the Ummah in its purest form – pure from Pride, Nationalism,
Shirk, Democracy, Secularism, Cowardliness, Apostasy, Ignorance and so on.
From what is apparent, they want to revive it both intellectually and spiritually.
4. The majority of their videos show military operations in Afghanistan against
the American/NATO occupation and the Murtadeen who help the Kuffaar.
5. Whatever Shaykh Usaamah bin Laadin or Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri (or some
other prominent Mujaahideen) want to say to the public or to a certain group of
people, As-Sahab Media is the mouthpiece.
6. They have made hundreds of videos. Just in 2007 alone, they made over 90
videos; most of them showed the military operations of al-Qaa'idah and Taliban.
With that said, let's go into how we would know their authenticity.
So as I said, we are supposed to follow our fellow Muslims who are apparently
pious and trustworthy in what they say about certain affairs which are out of our
reach.
How do we know that As-Sahab Media is apparently pious?
For a number of reasons:
1. In their videos, they discuss Islaamic issues affecting the Ummah; furthermore
they strictly follow guidelines pertaining to good manners and morals by not
playing any haraam music, showing haraam images (they even black out
women), and so on. In addition, in their talks and speeches, they speak of the
correct 'Aqeedah and they don't commit bid'ah or Kufr or Shirk; sure, some
Muslims might disagree with some of their views such as their evidences for
martyrdom operations and invading America - and they can be debated another
time – but generally speaking, there is no apparent evil in what they say. All we
see in their videos is a sincere attempt to revive the love and practice of Jihaad fe
Sabeelillaah so that this Ummah can once again hold the flag of Islaamic glory
and power.
2. As we know, As-Sahab Media is al-Qaa'idah. So when they show videos of
their Mujaahideen fighting – such as Shaykh Abu Yahya Al-Libi, Naasir al-
Qahtaanee, and many others – they are in actuality showing their own fighters
Refuting the Conspiracies Surrounding As-Sahab Media

performing Jihaad. So what do we see from their fighters in regards to apparent
piety? We see the following:
a) The performance of Salawaat. They show their fighters praying the 5
mandatory prayers as well as Tahajjud.
b) The recitation of Qur'aan. They show their fighters reading Qur'aan as well as
other Islaamic texts.
Refuting the Conspiracies Surrounding As-Sahab Media

c) The learning of religion. They show their fighters learning different aspects of
the Deen such as Tajweed, Fiqh, and more.
d) The practice of Islaamic brotherhood. All the fighters they show practice
brotherhood amongst each other. From what is apparent, they love each other for
the sake of Allah 'Azza wa Jall by making dhikr, reciting Qur'aan, keeping each
other happy, swimming, and even just playing around.
Refuting the Conspiracies Surrounding As-Sahab Media
10
e) The zeal for religion. From what is apparent, we see it in all of them. No one is
there because they hate their life and want to commit suicide or any other
negative reason. Rather, they are there because they believe in their Lord, and
they believe that their will be a day of Judgment; so they are there to make the
best of their lives and end it nobly, in hopes to die as Shuhadaa.
f) The love for the Ummah. From what is apparent, they care greatly for the
Ummah and wish to see it leading the world. Some might say that they don't
care about Muslims because they intentionally kill them. My response to this is:
you have to define what you mean by Muslim. If you are referring to those who
help the Kuffaar against the Mujaahideen such as the Afghan Army or the spies
from amongst the population of Afghanistan, then no, by Allah, they are not
Muslims. If you are referring to the civilian population, then no, they don't kill
them intentionally. Sure, it is possible that during an operation, a Muslim civilian
happen to pass by or get in the way, and was killed; but this is not done
intentionally. Our evidence is from their statements and how sincere they are in
them (from quoting the Qur'aan and Sunnah, and clarifying military
operations/mistakes) and their videos where they show that they are about to set
off an IED but don't because a Muslim was passing by. As for 9/11, it is slightly
more complicated as we will discuss later. Their invasion of America, specifically

the Twin Towers, had a long fiqhi history behind it. Shaykh Usaamah consulted
with quite a few 'Ulema regarding doing such an attack; and whether or not we
agree with it, he has his Shari' evidence for doing it and was firm in the decision.
I don't intend on discussing the ruling here because I am focused on who is As-
Sahab Media and who did 9/11. However, from what I know, some of the
evidence had to do with attacking a military and financial compound that had
some Muslims mixed in it and the rulings regarding attacking a compound
where you can avoid Muslims and the rulings regarding attacking a compound
where you cannot avoid Muslims. Again, I will not discuss this issue itself.
g) Their Shuhadaa' smell like musk. From what is apparent of those Mujaahideen
standing around the dead bodies of their fellow fighters, they smell musk and
get excited.

h) They follow as much of the Sunnah as they can.
i) The closeness to their Rabb in Du'aa. In their military operation videos, you
will always see the Mujaahideen making small du'aa or dhikr before, during,
and after the fighting.

j) How they remind each other and the Ummah of the aayaat of Qur'aan for the
purpose of making the Muslims worship their Lord properly.
k) Their implementation of al-Walaa' wal Baraa'ah (alliance and disavowal) for
the sake of Allah Ta'aala.
Refuting the Conspiracies Surrounding As-Sahab Media

l) Their Jihaad against the Disbelievers and Hypocrites. Allah prefers the
Mujaahideen over the Qaa'ideen (those who sit back) as He mentioned in an-
Nisa' (aayaat 95-6) and so we must love those whom Allah loves.
So these are just some of the things I can think of regarding their apparent piety.
And Allah knows best.
Refuting the Conspiracies Surrounding As-Sahab Media
15
Now that we covered the issue of the apparent piety of As-Sahab Media (which
is really the piety of its soldiers), let's get deeper into the issue of authenticity.
It's clear that these Mujaahideen are pious. In addition, it is apparent that they
are fighting the enemies of Allah Ta'aalaa and not the Awliyaa of Allah Ta'aalaa.
So this is an added plus.
The next thing I want to talk about is al-Qaa'idah's relationship with Taliban.
From what is apparent, the two movements are working side-by-side in
complete peace and brotherhood. Never has the Taliban complained about al-
Qaa'idah in any of their official releases. In reality, these two groups are working
like one large movement under the umbrella, "Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan"
whose leader is Mullah 'Umar, hafidhullah. In addition, the Taliban expressed
their happiness with al-Qaa'idah and their full support of Shaykh Usaamah bin
Laadin.
So the next question to ask here is: is the Taliban a movement whom we can trust
their words?
The answer is obviously yes, from many different angles of which some are:
a) The sincerity of the movement to establish Shari'ah and to destroy Shirk.
b) The history of the creation of the movement. They started off as a group of
students who wanted to get rid of some wicked crooks. Eventually, they
controlled most of the Country ruling with the law of Allah 'Azza wa Jall, and
the crime rate dropped significantly.1
c) Their piety and practice of the Religion.
So keeping all of these points in mind, let's now ask the following questions:
1. How can a Muslim deny a single release from As-Sahab Media when they show
videos of pure Jihaad fe Sabeelillaah?
1 There is a massive propaganda machine against the Taliban which is controlled by the Kuffaar.
It is a propaganda machine that writes books, articles and makes up stories to make the Taliban
look evil. So for our readers, we kindly ask them to look to the works of the Mujaahideen and
their supporters regarding the misconceptions of the Taliban. At-Tibyan Publications and 'Azzam
Publications, for instance, have very good works regarding the Taliban from the Scholars and
eye-witnesses.

2. How can a Muslim deny a single release from As-Sahab Media when they don't
show any sign of Kufr, Shirk, Bid'ah etc. but only show righteousness and
practice of the religion?
3. How can a Muslim deny a single release from As-Sahab Media when they work
together with the Taliban and the Taliban loves them and accepts them?
4. How can a Muslim deny a single release from As-Sahab Media when there is
absolutely no evidence that they (i.e., al-Qaa'idah) are led by a foreign Kaafir
intelligence such as the CIA?
5. How can a Muslim deny a single release from As-Sahab Media when they show
military operations against America and NATO? How can a Muslim deny their
releases when they show the Mujaahideen killing American soldiers - sometimes
even showing the bloody remains of these soldiers – and ambushing them with
IEDs, RPGs, PKs, and other weaponry as well as shooting at American
helicopters with their anti-aircraft weaponry? In other words, the point I'm
trying to make here is: How can a Muslim think to himself that As-Sahab Media
(i.e., al-Qaa'idah) is some CIA makeup or something similar when they display
their aggressive military operations against the Americans?
Some might say, "No, I'm not denying As-Sahab Media; I'm only denying their
release regarding the Bin Laadin tapes... they just appear to be fishy to me...
since some of them are just audios..."
So we say to them: Your statement makes no sense because to deny one official
release of As-Sahab Media is to deny all of their releases, which would be silly
because you would be denying that they fight American soldiers. In other words,
to deny As-Sahab Media is to deny that al-Qaa'idah is fighting in Afghanistan
because they are the same thing. Furthermore, if a video was released in the
name of As-Sahab and As-Sahab (i.e., al-Qaa'idah) really didn't release such a
video, then would they not make a statement denying the video? For those who
don't know, the forums such as Ekhlaas and Hesbah are Mujaahideen forums
where Mujaahideen from all over the world discuss issues and post their military
operations. So wouldn't As-Sahab say something if a video wasn't really theirs?
To give you an example of how they communicate on these forums: one of their
releases that had Shaykh Usaamah speaking in it were first shown by Al-Jazeera
and then were later posted in the forums. So some of the members of these
forums asked: How is it that Al-Jazeera got the tape first and we didn't (since As-
Sahab posts their videos on the forums first)?!
So this is what they said when they finally posted it on the forums:
Refuting the Conspiracies Surrounding As-Sahab Media

As a requested strategy the Video has been sent to TV channels
before posting it to the net. And It is not true that some websites
claimed that they have received it in another way.
So if a video wasn't from them, wouldn't they just simply deny it?
And if you say, "it's a CIA Operation..." then we ask: Bring your proofs if you
are truthful. Do you have evidence that they met with a CIA agent(s) in a secret
meeting? Do you have evidence that they are really some Zionists who look like
Muslims (but are still killing American and Murtadeen soldiers)?
It becomes quite simple when one looks at it from this perspective; the Islaamic
perspective.
For the Kaafir, none of this will make sense to him since he doesn't know
anything about judging by apparent piety and its weight; so what I say to them
is: If you cannot prove that As-Sahab Media (i.e., al-Qaa'idah) is some CIA
operation with credible evidence, then it is better for you to stay silent than to
embarrass yourself. I say that to Alex Jones and company since all he has against
Shaykh Usaamah is what some random unknown Kaafir website "reports" on al-
Qaa'idah; and many Muslims follow Alex blindly. Wa La Howla wala Quwatta
Illa Billah.
So to conclude this first part I say: it is clear that As-Sahab Media is an authentic
Jihaadee Media organization due to their piety, practice of the religion, and
Jihaad fe Sabeelillaah. Some Muslims deny them because, quite frankly, they are
just too good to be true. They say, "This is a perfect CIA setup. The CIA wants to
recruit Muslims to this Jihaad so that they can jail them and torture them. So the
CIA perhaps studied Islaamic history and came up with al-Qaa'idah... and this
movement appears amazing in so many ways in order to deceive the Muslims
that it's real. I mean, these so-called Muslims are praying in Mountains even
during the cold Tahajjud morning, they establish the Shari'ah, they help the poor
and needy, they don't live comfortably as we do, they learn the Deen, they talk
about Islaamic issues, they give Naseeha to the Ummah and certain groups, they
kill Kaafir soldiers, they take Ghaneema from the Kuffaar and Murtadeen, they
keep talking about establishing a Caliphate, their influence spreads globally in
just a quick span of a few years, a great amount of Muslims support them both
openly and silently, their leader is one of the most pious people we have laid our
eyes on... this is too good to be true... so it must be a CIA setup to recruit us."

As funny as that sounds, some actually are like that sadly. So we advise such
Muslims to go back to the aayah which we quoted from Surah al-Hujuraat. In
this Deen we reject evil speculation over apparent and overwhelming evidences.
Another thing which some Muslims say is, "Oh there's a tool where if you
capture the voice of an individual for 30 or so minutes, you can actually use his
voice to say anything you please... therefore all these audio tapes of Usaamah
bin Laadin are fake..."
Although this concept is true, this, of course, is just an easy way out to be
excused from the real issue which is the authenticity of As-Sahab Media. Such
statements are made by those who don't think deeply about the source. To say
such a thing is to deny all the clear-cut Jihaad that occurs in their recordings.
And whoever denies that there is Jihaad fe Sabeelillaah in their videos, then such
are those who are ignorant. This too goes for those who say "Oh, all that Jihaad
you see in their videos is not really Jihaad... it's all acted out... like Hollywood
stuff..." Clearly, these people haven't watched that many As-Sahab videos. If
they were to go with this logic, then such people should even deny that there's a
Taliban out there.
Let's move on to the next question which we posed in the beginning.
2. How do we know for sure that Shaykh Usaamah bin Laadin was behind the
9/11 invasion? How do we answer the conspiracy theories of Alex Jones and
such who say 9/11 was an inside job or that it was done by the Israeli Mossad?
I will break up this question into a series of points and discuss them one by one.
a) Reminding everyone the authenticity of As-Sahab Media and their videos
related to 9/11 as well as their strategy in releasing the videos.
b) The official statement of Shaykh Usaamah regarding the 9/11 invasion.
c) Regarding the conspiracy theories of the bombs in the Twin Towers and no
plane hitting the Pentagon.
d) Regarding the issue of the FBI taking security camera footage from local
hotels/gas stations after the attacks on the Pentagon.
e) Regarding the Jews celebrating when seeing the Twin Towers attacked.
f) Regarding the warnings that America received before the invasion
Refuting the Conspiracies Surrounding As-Sahab Media

g) Regarding the letter America sent Mullah 'Umar before 9/11
Now keep in mind, I am not speaking for As-Sahab Media as a spokesperson of
any type. Rather, I'm speaking from my mind whilst applying the principal of
not throwing immediate doubts on your Muslims as well as making excuses for
them.
Let's start:
a) Reminding everyone the authenticity of As-Sahab Media and their videos
related to 9/11 as well as their strategy in releasing the videos.
So before we jump to conclusions about who did 9/11, let me remind all of you
one thing and that is that we have proven As-Sahab Media (i.e., al-Qaa'idah) to
be authentic and not some CIA makeup. Indeed, As-Sahab Media has talked
about 9/11 and why they did it (and we will discuss this later inshaa'Allaah), so
to disregard what they have to say will take one back to the issue of authenticity
of As-Sahab. And if one doesn't have credible evidence to disprove their
authenticity, then they must fear Allah 'Azza wa Jall. Labeling your fellow
Muslims as CIA agents or anything similar is tantamount to making Takfeer2;
and if you don't have evidence that they are some CIA makeup, then in reality
you are making Takfeer on your fellow Muslim without evidence. So fear Allah
and realize the weight of what you (the one who makes claims) say.

order):

subtitles. If you haven't watched any of these, then please do so in order to

Now As-Sahab Media didn't release the will of the hijackers immediately. From
what it seems, they did it in stages for a strategic purpose. If I have the estimated
dates correctly, As-Sahab Media has been releasing the videos of the last wills
once a year (maybe twice). And assuming that all 19 hijackers has a video
showing their last will, then that would mean that As-Sahab is purposely
showing these videos one by one to "make the pain last" so to say. They could be
releasing it in stages to make the Kuffaar never forget that day so that the
Kuffaar can be exposed for their apparent hatred of Islaam which they tried to
hide, or so that the Kuffaar would get upset and continue to make stupid
decisions (like invading 'Iraaq) which would cost them heavily, or to continue to
incite the Muslimeen – for many years to come – to follow the path of the
Shuhadaa, or to simply have the Ummah remember the Shuhadaa' for a long
time. Maybe it's none of these reasons; but it definitely seems like a strategy they
are working out. Wallahu 'Alam.
Let's move on to the next point.
b) The official statement of Shaykh Usaamah regarding the 9/11 invasion.
There is quite a lot of evidence from As-Sahab Media that Shaykh Usaamah was
behind the 9/11 attacks. Here is one from his message entitled, "A Message to
the people of Europe" which is crystal clear:
"And before their wounds had healed and their grief had ended, they were invaded
without right by your unjust governments, without stopping to think about or reflect on
Bush's claim that this invasion was a response to the events of the 11th, although--as I
mentioned previously--the events of Manhattan were a response to the American-Israeli
coalition's murder of our people in Palestine and Lebanon.
And it was I who was responsible for 9/11, and I stress that all Afghans--both
government and people--had no knowledge of those events and America knows that,
because some of the Taliban's ministers fell into its hands as captives, and they were
interrogated and that became known. And that's why the Taliban government requested
America to produce the evidence for the truth of its claims prior to the invasion, but it
didn't produce any evidence, and instead insisted on invading; and Europe marched
behind it in that, and had no choice but to be its vassal."
You can watch this video here.
In the videos I posted earlier related to 9/11, you will see this claim repeated in
different ways.
Refuting the Conspiracies Surrounding As-Sahab Media
22
Remember that As-Sahab Media is authentic so this message is of course
authentic. Therefore, al-Qaa'idah is behind 9/11. I will not deny this statement
just because it's too much for me or that it's too hard to believe; not unless I have
credible evidence that he was not behind it to which I will still not deny this
statement until the contradiction is verified. So with whatever contradictions I
hold in my head (such as the bombings of the Twin Towers and that there was
no plane that hit the Pentagon etc., which I will discuss later inshaa'Allaah) I
should have Sabr and wait till such things are cleared up for me; so as I wait, I
will make excuses for my brothers and think deeply about all various
possibilities. I hope all other Muslims follow through the same way.
Now some have said Shaykh Usaamah had first denied involvement in 9/11. For
those who say that, I ask them to bring their evidence. There is quite a lot of
hearsay regarding this so the way to clear it up is to get credible evidence which
we can see him or hear him deny involvement. They say that he mentioned this
in the Tora Bora speech. Well if one is to watch the Tora Bora speech of his,
nowhere does he deny involvement. In addition, he highly praises the hijackers
that took part in 9/11. So why would he praise them if he had nothing to do with
it?
But just in case there is credible evidence that he denied involvement, then these
could be the reasons:
1. Military strategy. It could have been a military strategy to make America think
twice before attacking; of course it didn't make them think twice and this
exposed them for their hatred of Islaam. So Shaykh Usaamah took opportunity of
this and said in one of his early speeches – and rightly said – that had it been a
Kaafir man living in a Kaafir Country that did 9/11, then America would not
have invaded that Country immediately and instead would have taken
precautions to avoid a full blown war with that Country; and they would do
their best to peacefully resolve the situation with that Country and establish the
evidences to that Kaafir Country that such-and-such Kaafir man was behind
9/11, and if proven correct, the man would probably be taken to an American
Court and be punished.
But since the leaders of America hate Islaam and the true Muslims, they didn't
stick to their standards. The Taliban even asked them to stick to their standards
by establishing proof against Shaykh Usaamah but America remained defiant
and arrogant and continued their plan of invasion. America is now paying for
that even as we speak. So they were exposed greatly.
Of course, there could be many other strategies which we don't know of.

2. Perhaps he physically was not behind 9/11 and that's what he meant in the
statement of denial (assuming it even exists). The Kuffaar claim that the Ameer
of the 9/11 invasion was Khalid Sheikh Muhammad (fakkAllahu Asrah) and we
do not deny this as there are some signs as to the strength of this claim such as
the silence of As-Sahab Media on it. I'm not saying Shaykh Usaamah didn't have
a hand in it; rather, he was the main Ameer to where he allowed the attack to
commence and others were physically involved.
But as far as we know, he clearly did 9/11 because he mentioned it in quite a few
of his recordings (and in a few them, talked about the piety and qualities of each
of the 19 hijackers). So if there really is a statement of his denying involvement in
9/11, then consider the hadeeth, "War is Deception." We know that As-Sahab is
authentic so we trust them in each of their releases and we also realize that they
are a military organization, so each of their releases has a strategy behind it.
Let's move on to the next point....[The remaining portion is that cited above-CM.]
