Islamic murder mom...

Wednesday, January 04, 2006

Interviewer: Umm Nidal is a woman who voluntarily sacrificed her sons for the sake of resisting the occupiers. This woman always declared loud and clear: My sons did not commit suicide. My sons went and fought. None of them intended – even accidentally – to kill civilians, children or the elderly. They all resisted and confronted the enemy.

They had achievements and they were martyred.

Umm Nidal is with us today, because she is presenting herself to the world in a new capacity, as a candidate for the Palestinian Legislative Council.

Umm Nidal: I protect my sons from defying Allah, or from choosing a path that would not please Allah. This is what I fear, when it comes to my sons. But as for sacrifice, Jihad for the sake of Allah, or performing the duty they were charged with - this makes me happy.

Interviewer: What duty is this?

Umm Nidal: The sacred duty, Jihad for the sake of Allah. It is a sacred duty - one of the duties of Islam, which cannot be abandoned. We would be sinners if we did.

I prepared all my sons for jihad for the sake of Allah, whether by carrying out an attack, or by any other form of Jihad. I prepared myself for this. He who chooses a difficult road must be ready to bear the consequences.

Some people may consider this a tragedy, but by Allah, it is a blessing. When I hear about Muhammad’s martyrdom...

Interviewer: Tell me about the operation that Muhammad carried out.

Umm Nidal: Allah be praised, his operation was a large and successful one – one of the most successful operations of the first and second Intifadas.

Interviewer: Thousands of viewers, sitting at home, are worried that they are about to hear that Muhammad went to blow himself up among civilians - women and children. I’m sure that they are waiting to learn what Muhammad did. Did he set out to kill children, women and civilians - or what? In such a case, he might lose their sympathy. Go ahead.

Umm Nidal: Muhammad carried out his operation at a military academy. They were all soldiers. But on the issue of women and children - no one should blame us. These are war necessities.

We have never targeted women or children, but if they come in the way of an operation - it is considered a war necessity.
