CRI D’AMOUR !
 
Ô ma petite Sœur Malika, ma petite « Vierge Rouge »
Assalaamu ‘alayka wa rahmatullahi ta’ala wa barakatuhu !



 
Je remercie Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala qui m’a permis de rencontrer une âme telle que la sienne, une vraie combattante (militante) de l’Islam, Qui t’a permis d’être prise sous la protection, en plus de la Sienne, d’un Mujaahid comme Moez Garsallaoui. Que Dieu vous bénisse tous les deux ainsi que vos proches et tous ceux et celles qui sont solidaires avec vous et sincères (sans fanatisme) dans Islam universel (multiversel, de tous les mondes, si c’est le cas). En passant, je salue aussi le courage et la ténacité de notre Sœur en l’humanité Adriana EVANGELIZT que j’aime beaucoup et dont j’apprécie immensément le Jihaad fi sabilillah, à sa façon.
 
Pardon de te chiper cette flamme, ma chère Adriana !

Je sais que le plus souvent je ne suis que vin ordinaire pour notre Ummah, sans millésime, pratiquant un Islam fort douteux et sans aucune Appellation contrôlée, mais je sais ce que je vaux en temps qu’être humain épris de Justice et de Paix (non de pacifisme), comparé à tous ceux et celles qui se disent meilleurs que moi ! Je suis musulman, et je mourrai musulman, insha’Allah. Et, j’aime la musique, je danse, je chante, je poétise, et je combats toutes les perversions et les injustices. Je ne prends aucune drogue (nicotine, alcool, etc). Je ne fornique pas. J’aimerais bien (?), mais je respecte trop la femme, et je ne veux aucune souillure sur mon âme ! Je ne vole personne, mais des Musulmans (qui pratiquent la religion du diable comme les Kuffar) m’escroquent tout le temps, tout comme ils n’ont cessé d’escroquer la Ummah musulmane ! Je sers l’homme et la femme. Je sers la création, toute la création, et je n’attends rien en retour, sauf de « voir » Dieu, de Le contempler, peut-être, mais surtout pour Le remercier d’avoir créé l’Homme, et aussi surtout pour lui dire le fond de ma pensée, qu’Il connaît déjà, bien sûr ! Donc, je sers Dieu en servant Sa création, sincèrement, honnêtement, loyalement, fidèlement, et ce jusqu’à mon dernier souffle, sans jamais rien attendre en retour ! Au fait, Dieu m’a longtemps payé d’avance ; donc je n’attends et ne prie pour aucune récompense dans l’au-delà !


Sa pensée à Dieu, je la connais déjà, depuis le temps qu’Il en parle à travers Ses Prophètes et Messagers ! Sait-on jamais, Dieu me renseignera sûrement (peut-être) sur mes erreurs. Rien ne m’appartient dans ce bas monde. Ma vie, Dieu me l’a prêtée que pour deux jours, et Il la reprendra au moment voulu. Je n’ai peur d’aucun dirigeant de ce monde. Dieu et moi, c’est MOI, et je ne permets à aucun être de ce bas monde de me montrer du doigt par rapport à l’Islam, à qui j’ai déjà presque tout donné de ce que Dieu m’avait comblé si généreusement ! Il ne me reste plus qu’à rendre ma vie au Seigneur des Mondes, en la sacrifiant, insha’Allah fi sabilillah, et comme je n’ai qu’une vie (actuellement) je l’ai vouée à toi, Ô ma petite Sœur Malika el Aroud, corps et âme, tant que tu ne renieras pas Dieu et Son Message universel, ce qui ne risque pas d’arriver, car je pense te connaître, ainsi que le fond de ton âme, insha’Allah, et tant que tu le voudras, bien sûr. Cependant, je ne repose jamais mes espoirs sur l’Humain, quel qu’il soit.


Oui, j’aime la musique qui me rapproche de Dieu, de moi-même, qui soulage (sans guérir cependant) mon cœur qui est brisé en mille morceaux, et mon âme meurtrie, grâce à laquelle j’ai conservé encore mes facultés. Ne pas devenir fou dans ce monde débile tient du miracle ! Depuis que des sectes ont pris le contrôle de notre Ummah, elle-même sous le contrôle (grand commandement) des Kuffar (mécréants ou anti-Dieu racistes), il n’y a plus d’armée musulmane digne de ce nom, et sans la musique comment galvaniser nos combattants pour affronter et vaincre le Quatrième Reich Sioniste ? Les plus belles voix, masculines et féminines, qui psalmodient le Saint Qur’ân n’ont eu jusqu’ici aucun effet dynamique sur nos soldats (des fermiers et des citadins endoctrinés) qui refusent toujours de se battre. Actuellement, nos combattants sur le terrain de massacre avaient attendu qu’ils soient attaqués pour faire semblant de se défendre sans armes adéquates ! Quand on leur demande de combattre avant que les Kuffars ne décident d’envahir et de détruire nos pays, nos infrastructures, notre civilisation et nos peuples, ils refusent (ou font semblant d’être sourds, aveugles et indifférents) et feignent d’adorer le Seigneur en pratiquant des rituels stériles qui les éloignent davantage de leur mission civilisatrice de vicaire de Dieu sur la terre (Khalifah). Mais, il y a musique et musique, comme avec tout !

Oui, je danse aussi, et c’est enivrant, et le Musulman que je suis conserve ainsi toute sa forme pour jouir de la vie comme pour combattre. Qu’il me soit permis un jour de tenir un Kalachnikov (ou mieux), et je vous montrerai comment danse le vrai Musulman, en face de l’ennemi qui nous pille et qui viole nos femmes avec la bénédiction d’une Ummah pas encore bien éveillée ! Je ne plaisante pas avec l’honneur de notre Ummah.


Touchez à l’honneur de nos femmes, et vos têtes rouleront dans les caniveaux (Malik el Shabazz), ô mécréants racistes, et collaborateurs musulmans ! Vous avez déjà profané le sanctuaire de ma petite Sœur Malika, alors prenez garde de la Justice de Dieu et de ma colère, ô Procureur des mécréants sionistes et racistes ! C’est toi ou moi ! Tu peux danser tout ton saoul aujourd’hui tant que toi et tes semblables vous êtes protégés par les régimes sionistes, mais nous sommes là pour défendre notre honneur coûte que coûte. Tu n’as même pas respecté tes propres lois qui t’interdisent de violer le droit de tout citoyen qui ne cherche qu’à pratiquer librement la religion de son choix. Nous saurons un jour nous faire respecter même en Suisse sioniste, insha’Allah !


Oui, je chante aussi, bien sûr. Cependant, je comprends certains Musulmans (ascètes) qui ne chantent pas, ne dansent pas, ne jouent d’aucun instrument de musique, ni n’écoutent de la musique, parce qu’ils ont une tout autre mission que moi, par exemple. Mais, la plupart de nos Croyants et pratiquants sont des hypocrites, et prêchent un faux Islam, une religion de leur fabrication ou invention, et non l’Islam universel. Ces mêmes Musulmans, je parle des fanatiques, vendent cependant tous les appareils imaginables qui véhiculent la musique, même celle de Satan. Quelle hypocrisie ! Je viens à l’instant de voir en vidéo une de ces tribus de fanatiques qui sont contre la musique marier leur fille en musique. L’orchestre indien était présent au complet et entonnait des chansons hindouistes et polythéistes, et les barbus (collaborateurs du régime en place pour la plupart et sûrement saoudistes aussi) écoutaient sans broncher ! Nombre d’entre eux ont fait le Haj (le Grand Pèlerinage) et le Umrah (le petit pèlerinage) plusieurs fois, ce genre de pèlerinage qui éloigne de Dieu plus qu’il ne rapproche de Lui ! Ces Musulmans sont nationalistes, tribalistes, et racistes de surcroît !


Je poétise aussi à mes moments perdus. C’est fou non ? Mais, le Musulman qui a autant du mal à comprendre (ou à pratiquer) le Saint Furqaan (Critère), comment peut-il jamais comprendre la poésie ? Il est le plus souvent drogué au Saint Qur’aan (Récitation), sans trop savoir ce qu’il fait !

(Je viens à l’instant même de revoir et de réentendre l’historien Mohammed Talbi, Professeur d’histoire du Moyen Âge, débiter des âneries sur le mot Qur’aan :

« Contrairement à Moïse, Muhammad n’a pas reçu de Tables de la Loi. Il a reçu un Coran. Et, ce Coran se définit comment ? Que signifie d’abord le mot Coran, en arabe Qur’aan ? Le mot Coran, le mot Qur’aan arabe signifie MESSAGE et non pas une loi. Muhammad a reçu un message. Ce message se définit lui-même dans le Coran par deux autres mots balaagh AVIS et par un autre mot bayaan MANIFESTE. »


C’est ce que j’appelle l’Islam à la carte, l’Islam complaisant, et l’Islam falsifié dans le but de plaire aux Kuffar (les Français racistes). J’avais immédiatement remis le Professeur à sa place, mais Oumma.com m’a refusé mon droit de réponse. C’est LVO (stcom.net) qui me l’a permis. Que Dieu vous bénisse LVO ! Les deux fois où j’étais en conflit avec Oumma.com, on a piraté mon système et effacé et contaminé tous mes articles sur l’Islam. Pour qui donc travaille Oumma.com ??? Mais, il faut plus que les hackers sionistes pour m’empêcher de parler !)


En plus le Musulman pratiquant, surtout en occident, est souvent misogyne. Il prêche qu’on ne doit pas entendre la voix de la femme (du Saint Paul tout craché !) par peur d’être excité sexuellement ! Abominable perversion ! Venir sur terre (sans que je ne l’ai demandé) pour entendre une telle abomination ! Ce sont ceux-là qui nous empêchent de pratiquer librement l’Islam, qui nous étouffent, nous empêchent de respirer, d’aimer, de jouir de la vie, et font de l’islam une religion rétrograde et servile aux Kuffar, et sans aucun pouvoir, ni dignité. La raison des divergences entre les divers courants islamiques et moi, c’est que moi j’étais musulman avant même de connaître l’Islam, et que j’avais Dieu en moi avant même de Le découvrir. Je ne suis pas un Musulman du Saint Qur’ân ou de la Sunnah du Prophète Muhammad, paix et bénédiction sur lui. Donc je ne suis ni « qur’âniste » ni « sunniste ou sunnite ». Je suis musulman sans attache sauf à Dieu Lui-Même, et je ne saurai jamais me détacher de Lui car Il est en moi à jamais, « plus proche de moi que mon artère carotide » ! C’est pourquoi je suis rarement en accord avec ce monde immonde, un « éternel révolté » disent les mauvaises langues.


Je combats le mal quel qu’il soit et invite au bien quel qu’il soit, ce qui est ma religion, mon mode de vie depuis de nombreuses décennies, et ce qui m’attache encore à ce monde, le mode de vie qui ressemble fortement, à mon avis, au Dîn Islam dont parle Dieu le Très Haut dans le Saint Furqaan. Il ne me reste pas beaucoup à vivre, ma petite Sœur, mais le combat, Jihaad fi sabilillah, continue. Aux Musulmans millésimés, je dirai cependant ceci : à chacun sa religion !


Et, je consens, bien sûr à ne violer aucune loi qui ne violerait pas mes droits comme le stipule le Saint Furqaan, et la Convention européenne sur les Droits de l’homme et de la femme, et en temps qu’être humain libre, moral et multiversel, révolutionnaire et combattant actif musulman.


Oui, finalement, j’ai retrouvé l’amour en ma petite fille Jumaymah, âgée bientôt de deux mois, et elle me le rend bien en m’obligeant à la prendre dans mes bras nuit et jour quand la famille est réunie ! C’est merveilleux – au lieu d’écrire des articles inutiles pour une Ummah de bourriques! De père célibataire à grand-père célibataire ! Je voudrais tellement qu’elle te ressemble, surtout dans ton esprit combatif, ma petite Sœur Malika. Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala m’a comblé de Ses bienfaits, et je ne suis pas un ingrat. Je ne cesserai de Le remercier jusqu’à mon départ de ce monde maudit. Dieu m’a donné plus que je ne méritais et plus que je n’espérais. Mais, à ne pas s’ y méprendre, ceci est non seulement un cri d’Amour, assouvi et inassouvi, mais aussi et surtoutun APPEL au service de Dieu, avec tous les moyens dont nous disposons, que les Kuffar (mécréants racistes) le veuillent ou non !


DIEU EST GRANDISSIME !

Wa 'alaykum salaam wa rahmatullahi ta'ala wa barakatuhu !

C’est un « Cri d’Amour », et me voir prêcher le Qur’aan et « la Sunnah », à mon âge !!! ???


Souffert? NON, je n'ai pas assez souffert!!! Mais, j'attends (avec une grande impatience !) l'ultime SACRIFICE!!! On ne souffre jamais au Paradis sur terre, et je ne me plains de rien car Dieu m’a tout donné SAUF………… !!!

Ce sont les 60,000 femmes, que nous, HOMMES INDIGNES, avons laissé violer par les animaux serbes, russes, et par les occidentaux, qui ont souffert !!!

C'est aussi le demi milliard d'hommes, de femmes et d'enfants que les occidentaux ont massacrés, exterminés ou traumatisés ces derniers siècles qui ont véritablement souffert !!! Et, les mutilés des champs de massacre, les prisonniers, etc.

À propos, la toute première SUNNAH du Saint Prophète est le Saint Qur’aan !!! Qui se cramponne au Saint Qur’aan se cramponne déjà à la Sunnah du Prophète, et le doute n’y est pas permis car la Parole vient de Dieu, LUI-MÊME, alors, que « l’autre Sunnah », les Ahadiith, proviennent des hommes et des femmes faillibles !

MAIS, NOUS N’AVONS PAS ÉTÉ FICHUS DE PRATIQUER LE SAINT QUR’AAN ET LA TOUTE PREMIÈRE SUNNAH DU SAINT PROPHÈTE AVEC SINCÉRITÉ, FIDÉLITÉ ET LOYAUTÉ !!!

JE VOUDRAIS UN JOUR VOIR LE MUSULMAN ET LA MUSULMANE METTRE EN PRATIQUE NE SERAIT-CE QU’UNE PAGE DU SAINT QUR’AAN !!! MAIS, L’HYPOCRISIE ET LE MATÉRIALISME RÈGNENT EN MAÎTRES ABSOLUS CHEZ LES MUSULMANS, ET ILS ONT LE CULOT DE DIRE QU’ILS SONT MONOTHÉISTES !!! ??? LEURS DIEUX AVANT DIEU C’EST L’ARGENT ET L’ÉGOÏSME MATÉRIALISTE !!!


Salaam et merci.

Ma très chère « Vierge Rouge » et Soeur Malika

Assalamu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullahi ta’ala wa barakatuhu !

Je ne sais si tu l’avais remarqué, ma chérie, mais, malgré le fait que j’avais acheté ton livre, je te l’avais bien dit que c’était uniquement par solidarité (cette solidarité qui manque beaucoup à notre Ummah, d’où la plupart de nos malheurs) et non à cause du livre,  et depuis que je l’ai, je peux t’assurer que je n’avais lu que l’extrait en dos de couverture, car je ne tenais absolument pas à lire ton livre !!!???  Tu as certainement dû le sentir ou le constater.  POURQUOI ?

Parce que je l’avais déjà lu et su, ma chérie, il y a fort longtemps - TES SOLDATS DE LUMIÈRE, bien avant que tu ne l’aies écrite !!!  J’ai le cœur qui gonfle, prêt à éclater, et les yeux aveuglés par un torrent de larmes qui viennent du profond du cœur et de l’âme !  Tu voulais que j’en éclatasse de rire en lisant les ordures de la satanique Armesto ainsi que ton admirable réplique, tout à fait digne de Ghyslaine ROC d’ailleurs, mais, elle ne m’a pas fait rire du tout, ni même toi d’ailleurs, ma chérie.  Au contraire, cela m’a donné plutôt une forte migraine, que j’ai très rarement, mais qui est très salutaire car j’en avais gros sur le cœur avec toutes ces tueries et tous ces mensonges.  De nombreux Musulmans se laissent constamment piéger par les journalistes à la solde des états qui massacrent nos peuples.  Robert Fisk n’est pas l’un d’eux, Dieu merci.    

N’as-tu pas aussi remarqué que j’ai commencé à traduire ton livre en anglais avant même de l’avoir lu ?  C’est insensé, mais je n’avais nullement besoin de le faire, car j’en connaissais le contenu par cœur.  C’est l’histoire de trois âmes qui se connaissent depuis fort longtemps sans s’être jamais rencontrés.  Je parle d’Abdessattar, de toi et de moi, sans oublier les autres.  Je ne vous connais toujours pas, mais je constate que vous avez accompli ce que j’ai toujours rêvé d’accomplir, et je veux croire pour les mêmes raisons, et non celle de vouloir hériter le Paradis, ce qui me décevrait beaucoup !  Massoud, je n’ai plus entendu parler de lui depuis 1982 ou 1983 !  On a beau être musulman, (l’était-il vraiment ?) mais, quand on a trahi les siens et son Dieu, que nous reste-t-il de l’homme ?  As-tu déjà entendu ces racistes d’occidentaux tarir d’éloges de vrais Musulmans ?  Jamais !  Les seuls qu’ils idolâtrent, ce sont les véritables ennemis des Musulmans et des Musulmanes et de l’Islam – des suppôts de Satan tels le satanique Salman Rushdie ou des maîtres bouchers et violeurs comme le francophile et l’incomparable « lycéen-général et commandant » Massoud Shah !  Plus il a tué ou fait tuer de Musulmans et violer de femmes, plus il est admiré en occident – comme Ariel Sharon et Putin, et maintenant Bush et Blair !

Je ne tenais pas à te parler de ton livre, mais je n’ai pu m’en empêcher.  Je voulais seulement t’écrire une seule phrase en réponse à ton admirable courage :

J’AI ENFIN RETROUVÉ MA VIERGE ROUGE !

J’avais mentionné dans l’article lui-même que la Vierge Rouge Ré-incarnée fut inspirée.  Et, je me suis servi de la Vierge Rouge pour mettre à l’épreuve les grandes bouches qui se disent musulmans sur les forums auxquels j’ai contribué.  C’est ainsi que j’ai pu confirmer l’absence quasi-totale de compassion chez ceux et celles qui se disent musulmans, et expliquer ainsi l’une des causes du déclin de notre Ummah !  Je ne cessais de répéter que c’est Dieu qui a fait que nous nous « rencontrions »  Peu importe combien de temps cela va durer,je me suis construit un monde à moi depuis un certain temps, même une certaine religion, qui a dépassé celle du Christ : « Aime ton prochain comme toi-même. »  Je suis parvenu depuis fort longtemps à aimer mon prochain PLUS que moi-même, et j’ai dépassé le domaine de la foi populaire, ce qui choque beaucoup de Musulmans ! Un tort vraisembleblement!

  Je suis parvenu jusqu’à Dieu, mais nous ne nous entendons pas très bien, malheureusement ; cependant c’est Lui Qui m’a sauvé la vie, c’est Lui Qui me donne la force de continuer la lutte, Qui a fait de moi un être humain et non une bête immonde comme les dirigeants de ce monde et leurs larbins, et grâce à Qui, je ne verserai jamais une seule goutte de larme sur la perte d’un bien matériel !

MA PETITE VIERGE ROUGE, JE T’AIME, ET JE TE DIS ALLAH KISMAT, ET JE TE JOINS LE TEXTE EN QUESTION !
             
QU’ALLAH TE BÉNISSE, ET TE DONNE DAVANTAGE DE COURAGE ET DE SANTÉ AFIN DE RÉALISER TES DÉSIRS LES PLUS SECRETS, ET TE PROTÈGE CONTRE SATAN LE MAUDIT ET SES SUPPÔTS !  AMIN !

Paul Cruickshank's

Love in the Time of Terror 

She was a single mom; he was divorced and searching. Together they kindled an epic passion for each other — and jihad.

 
Moez Garsallaoui sent Malika this photo from the tribal areas between Afghanistan and Pakistan in 2008. ???????
Photo Credit: Photo Obtained by Paul Cruickshank
 
[Photo removed from my Blog without my permission and without notice!  Damn it!]

The convoy drove high up into the mountains, but the last long, steep climb had to be made by foot. Finally they came upon an elaborate cave complex. Although Malika was never told the name of the place, she was likely taken to Tora Bora, al Qaeda's infamous mountain redoubt.

When she entered the caves, she saw dozens of fighters milling about. She was offered fresh food, fruit, and hot coffee, and was relieved to find a bucket of clean water so that she could bathe. "It was like a scene out of Ali Baba," she recalled in her memoir. "There were mattresses, blankets, gas lamps ... it was all incredibly well organized." As the sun set, she noticed the gorgeous view and wished she could take some photos.

The next morning, an al Qaeda escort brought her across the border into Pakistan. She was lucky to have left when she did. Soon after, the U.S. initiated an intensive bombing campaign after receiving intelligence that bin Laden was hiding at Tora Bora.

On December 18, 2001, Malika's escort dropped her off at the gates of the Belgian embassy in Islamabad, where she turned herself in, in the interest of safe passage back to Brussels. "We will never stop our fight," the al Qaeda fighter told her before he left. The chivalry of her husband's comrades — who had risked their own lives to protect hers — sealed her devotion to the cause.

On her return to Belgium, Malika was interrogated by authorities, who eventually charged her with complicity in the assassination of Massoud. But she was cleared in a 2003 trial and went on to meet another Tunisian-born man, Moez Garsallaoui, who shared her incendiary views. They married, and she moved in with him in Switzerland, away from the media attention in Brussels. There, Malika devoted herself to promoting bin Laden's cause online. The computer-savvy Moez set up an Arabic Website for himself and helped his wife administer a French-language counterpart called Minbar-SoS, a reference to the pulpits in mosques, called minbars. Under the pseudonym Oum Oubeyda, a variation on Abdessattar's al Qaeda code name, Malika regularly voiced her support for al Qaeda, while others posted videos of bloody attacks on U.S. troops in Iraq. The site eventually attracted a following of more than 1400 full-time members.

As I talked with Malika in her Swiss home, Moez wandered in and out of the room. Meek rather than menacing, with a neatly cropped beard and glasses, he clearly played second fiddle to his wife, who gently bossed him around throughout the afternoon. Although she tried to make a public display of being deferential to him, it was obvious who was in awe of whom.

ONE WOMAN'S WAR, PART 3: "He bragged that he killed 5 Americans, Malika congratulated him."


To test the depths of her ferocious resolve, I asked Malika what she thought of Muriel Degauque, a Catholic convert from Belgium who had recently blown herself up in Iraq, becoming al Qaeda's first-ever Western female suicide bomber. "She had a lot of courage," Malika replied. "This is necessary, and I take my hat off to her. Going there, blowing yourself up, killing the Americans."

Then she took me to the computer in her bedroom and showed me how she administered her Website, where she openly encouraged people to join bin Laden's jihad. As one posting said, "I intensely hope and pray every day that our fighters massacre those American pigs and their allies."

At the time I met Malika and Moez, they were under investigation by Swiss authorities. They were eventually convicted of terrorism offenses, in June 2007. Moez spent a few weeks behind bars then, but Malika again avoided a jail sentence. Soon after, the couple moved back to Brussels, where Belgian authorities placed them under surveillance for their continued online activities.

As for her family, they had no idea how to bring Malika back into the fold. Although she had reconciled with them and had mourned her father's death, she had also been honest about her radical views over the years. As her sister Saida told me, "Malika is totally convinced of her beliefs. She's not going to change now. The family can't broach the subject with her because she goes mad."

In December 2007, Malika was arrested again when Belgian authorities received information that a plot might be in the works to free an al Qaeda prisoner from jail. But she was let go, due to insufficient evidence. In the meantime, Moez had slipped away from Belgium, traveling to the tribal areas between Afghanistan and Pakistan, as evidenced by a photo that U.S. intelligence agencies intercepted in early 2008 when he sent it to Malika. According to a lawyer familiar with the case against Malika, the photo, which the FBI sent along to Belgian authorities, featured Moez in combat fatigues, posing with a rocket-propelled grenade. "I saw the picture," Malika had replied to him. "You are so beautiful." Moez later e-mailed to tell her that he'd killed five Americans in Afghanistan, and she congratulated him. Consciously or not, he appeared to be trying to prove to her that he was as committed to the cause as the husband Malika had so loved and idolized.

For the past year, Moez has connected European recruits with training camps in the Pakistani tribal areas — an al Qaeda safe haven — according to Belgian counterterrorism sources. It was when several of these trainees returned to Belgium that police moved in to make arrests this past December, in the biggest counterterrorism operation in the country's history; intercepted e-mails had suggested that one of the young men might be planning to launch a suicide-bomb attack.

But Malika is the star here. She's the one who inspired the men who were arrested — along with countless others — Belgian counterterrorism sources say. Now in prison after her latest arrest, she awaits her trial in an isolated cell, while every counterterrorism agency in the world watches. One can only imagine the sense of satisfaction she feels, having advanced the work of her beloved Abdessattar. Helping each other realize their dreams — that's just what true lovers do.

As Malika put it in her memoir, "Ours was the most beautiful love story that any woman could dream of."

Paul Cruickshank is a research fellow at the NYU Center on Law and Security and the author ofAl Qaeda: the Current Threat. His reporting on al Qaeda has appeared in The New Republic, The Washington Post, and on CNN. His documentary on Malika airs on CNN International, February 14 at 10:30 p.m. ET, and February 15 at 6:30 p.m. ET.

UPDATE, MAY 18, 2009:

Men close to Malika el Aroud have apparently been inspired to continue her jihad.

On May 12, 2009, the founder of the Centre Islamique Belge, the organization in Brussels that converted Malika to radical Islam, was arrested in Italy and charged with serious terrorist offences. [Bunch of imperialist and liars! BAFS]

Sheikh Bassam Ayachi, 62, was charged with being a "leader of a logistical support team for al Qaeda” in Europe. Police wiretaps had found him discussing what sounded like a scheme to attack Charles de Gaulle International Airport in Paris.

Ayachi was not only a mentor to Malika in the 1990s, but also officiated at her wedding to her former husband, Abdessattar Dahmane, in 1999, two years before Dahmane launched his martyrdom operation in Afghanistan. [LIARS, LIARS, LIARS! BAFS]  Also charged in Italy was another member of the Centre Islamique Belge, Raphael Gendron, 33, who knew Malika in Brussels, and had posted messages on her radical website, Minbar SOS. It was his conversation with Ayachi that Italian police intercepted.

Meanwhile, Malika’s new husband, Moez Garsallaoui, continues to try to live up to his wife’s expectations, from the mountains of Afghanistan. On May 11, 2009 -- after a long silence -- he posted a new message on Minbar SOS claiming he was fighting with members of the Taliban, making cross-border raids into Afghanistan from the tribal areas of Pakistan to target American troops. He also had this sobering message for European counterterrorism agencies:

"If you thought that you could pressure me to slow down through the arrest of my wife, you were wrong. It won’t stop me fulfilling my objectives...the place of my wife in my heart and the heart of all the mujahideen is greater than ever. … Surprises are sure to be in store for you in the days ahead. Those who laugh last, laugh more."

How Malika El-Aroud Paved the Way for Francophone Jihadism in Europe

Her death in April was met with little news coverage, yet Aroud played a key role in shaping Islamist extremist culture, especially for women

On April 6 this year, (2023) Malika El-Aroud, the notorious Moroccan Belgian jihadist recruiter, died in a Belgian prison with minimal news coverage. The 64-year-old was little-known outside of jihadist circles, although she had been on the radar of Western security agencies for decades. She first gained notoriety as the widow of Abdessattar Dahmane, the al Qaeda assassin who killed Ahmad Shah Massoud, the Afghan leader of the Northern Alliance, two days before 9/11.

Later, Aroud gained notoriety in her own right, becoming in effect the “First Lady of Jihad” and completely rewriting the rule book for jihadist women in Europe. She was one of the earliest keyboard warriors, who harnessed the power of the internet, sending men and women to their deaths in the cause of jihad, shedding much blood both at home and abroad. This was long before the media’s fascination with Jihadi Janes, White Widows, Lady al Qaeda or Bethnal Green girls running off to join the Islamic State group (IS).

From the 1990s onwards, Aroud harnessed her considerable persuasive power to send fighters to conflict zones. What is perhaps more extraordinary is that, unlike many of her male counterparts, who did such things from rugged caves in Afghanistan or Yemen, Aroud did all this from the heart of Europe.

Nor did she only persuade strangers. Swiss intelligence chiefs believed it was Aroud who influenced her second husband, Moez Garsalloui, to orchestrate terrorist attacks in Central Asia as well as the Toulouse attack in 2012. Again and again, as I’ve covered terrorism and jihad in multiple countries, I’ve found the fingerprints of Aroud, a woman who was barely a year into her first marriage when she achieved the jihadist cult status of becoming a “martyr’s widow” — a status gifted her by one of the most audacious attacks in Afghanistan, one which paved the way for an even more consequential strike on the other side of the world.

Aroud arrived in Brussels when she was only 5 years old, in 1964. As an adult, she lived a life of excess, according to Paul Cruickshank, a journalist who interviewed her in 2006. She did “everything that is bad,” Aroud admitted. At the age of 32, in 1991, she was a single mother with a string of broken relationships and was at her most vulnerable and suicidal. That’s when she discovered Islam.

Like many born-again Muslims, she threw herself wholeheartedly into the faith. That’s how she fell under the influence of the radical Syrian Islamist Bassam Ayachi, who ran the Centre Islamique Belgique (CIB) in the Brussels municipality of Molenbeek. The Belgian authorities were already wary of Ayachi’s radical activities. Not only was he linked to the siege of Mecca in 1979, when zealots had taken over Islam’s holiest of holy sites, but he was also linked to European jihadist networks that were active in the Bosnian War (1992-1995) and the First Chechen War (1994-96).

It was Ayachi who inadvertently set Aroud on the path of becoming the First Lady of Jihad. He introduced her to her first husband, Abdessattar Dahmane, in 1999. Dahmane, a Tunisian who had come to Brussels on a student visa in 1987, was Ayachi’s protege. When they met in the late 1990s, Dahmane was already a person of interest to the Belgian security services. By the time of the Bosnian conflict, he was plugged into the network of Belgian and French jihadists, with contacts all over Europe. Dahmane had studied with jihadist scholars such as Abu Qatadah. He had tried and failed to enter Kosovo, where Serbs were threatening Muslim Kosovars in 1996; such was the transnational nature of his network and activities. By the time Ayachi married the couple in 2000,Aroud was already immersed in jihadism and was a devotee of Osama bin Laden.

Shortly after the wedding, Dahmane left for the al Qaeda training camps of Afghanistan. In 2001, Aroud followed him. She was a housewife in Jalalabad, a town that had endured decades of war, first the Soviet-Afghan War of 1979-89 and then a bloody civil war in which the Mujahideen factions fought each other for power.The Taliban, members of a fanatical, austere religious movement, had swept in to put an end to the fighting in 1996 and Jalalabad was under their control. The town was also an al Qaeda stronghold. Bin Laden, the al Qaeda chief, had backed the Taliban financially and was close to the movement’s leader, Mullah Omar. What Aroud didn’t know was that her husband was on a secret mission to assassinate the last man who stood against the Taliban: Ahmad Shah Massoud. If Dahmane succeeded, the Taliban hoped to gain total mastery over the country.

According to Anand Gopal in “No Good Men Among The Living,” Dahmane became “the first suicide bomber in Afghan history.” Drawing on Dahmane’s jihadist networks in Europe, he and his accomplice Bouraoui el-Ouaer were supplied with fake passports, fake journalist IDs, visas and a letter of recommendation from a prominent London Islamist. Masquerading as the journalists Karim Toussani and Hassim Bakkali, the assassins secured an interview with Massoud two days before 9/11. As Dahmane interviewed Massoud, el-Ouaer detonated the explosives hidden in the camera, killing the commander. As Jalalabad celebrated the news with gunfire, Aroud accepted the $500 Bin Laden gave her to clear her husband’s debts, not fully realizing that her own stock had also risen with his passing. She was now a martyr’s widow, which is a lofty status among jihadists.

But she didn’t have time to grieve for her husband. The Americans and the Northern Alliance were in an unforgiving mood; the former had just seen the Twin Towers collapse and the latter had lost a key figure. They sought to root out the Taliban and al Qaeda once and for all. Aroud fled. The Northern Alliance caught her. Had it not been for a daring attack by some al Qaeda fighters, perhaps they would have locked her up inside a giant container and suffocated her or, as often happened, gang-raped her. She made it across the Pakistani border and presented herself to the Belgian Embassy in Islamabad. Her government duly repatriated her, expecting her to reciprocate this goodwill. If she had done so, or just returned to a quiet life in Brussels, perhaps her recent death would not even warrant a mention in the papers; there are many jihadist wives who live out their lives in domestic quietude, including the wives of Bin Laden.

But Aroud did not repay the Belgian authorities by supplying them with information on the terrorist organization. Instead, she became a fully fledged devotee of Bin Laden, leveraging her new status and her jihadist contacts from the 1990s. And, as if anticipating the age of the influencer by a decade, she became a keyboard warrior, a propagandist par excellence, which secured her jihadist legacy for posterity. It was this step that made Claude Moniquet, the president of the European Strategic Intelligence and Security Center, say that she was “a source of inspiration” and “extremely dangerous.” It was her ability to evade the law and spread her message in the heart of Europe that made the press dub her “Mama Jihad.” Arguably, she caused more damage from her tiny flat in Belgium than most jihadist ideologues working from remote hideouts.

After her return to Belgium, she spent nearly 10 years recruiting and proselytizing. After beating the Belgian prosecution’s allegation that she, alongside 22 others, was an accomplice to Massoud’s murder, she married again in 2003. Her second husband, Moez Garsallaoui, was several years younger than she was and, like Dahmane, was a Tunisian radical who had sought exile in Switzerland. Fortunately for Aroud, among his many interests was a nerdy enthusiasm for computers. The newlyweds moved to a small village in Switzerland. Instead of enjoying a healthy outdoor life in a picturesque Alpine village, Aroud set about calling for jihad to her dedicated subscribers under the pen name Oum Oubeyda, and running Minbar SOS and other websites and forums. It was online that she exerted her influence. It was behind the screen that she acted as a bridge with the 1990s jihadist networks and grafted them onto the age of the internet.

Aroud had realized the power of words. “It’s not my role to set off bombs,” she said. “I have a weapon. It’s to write. It’s to speak out. That’s my jihad. … Writing is also a bomb.” Behind a screensaver photo of her first husband, she contributed regularly to online Francophone jihadist platforms like Ansar al-Haqq and became an effective propagandist and recruiter. Harnessing the power of guilt, she played her ace card deftly, guilt-tripping Muslim men for their seeming lack of concern for the “ummah,” the global Muslim community. (She was so successful, in fact, that her second husband, perhaps sick of that screensaver, abandoned his keyboard and state benefits for the North-West Frontier Province of Pakistan in 2007.)

Perhaps more powerful than guilt was her primary message: glory. That word had a special pull for some Muslims, particularly those who lived humdrum, unassuming lives in Europe, dreaming of a time in the past when their Muslim predecessors ruled in Spain and Sicily and Vienna. “Glory,” to those who have nothing, is a powerful force. Aroud, as she herself admitted, had detested the timidity and acceptance of the banal in her own family, and couldn’t stand the feeling of marginalization. She offered people who were living dissipated lives a shortcut to the path of repentance — martyrdom. By joining the jihad, her recruits were promised they could, somehow, join a pantheon of heroes. Perhaps, in some small way, Aroud offered a way out of a certain existential angst.

But Aroud did more than just offer words. In 2005, Swiss authorities arrested her for online incitement because she posted “manuals for the manufacture of bombs” as well as “images of murder,” and for letting groups linked to al Qaeda post information on her websites. Aroud got off lightly with a mere slap on the wrist, an 18-month suspended sentence, although her husband was sentenced to six months in prison. According to an expert on Belgian jihadists, Guy Van Vlierden, by 2007, Aroud had managed to send “at least seven men” off to Afghanistan, as well as, allegedly, the first European female suicide bomber, Muriel Degauque, who carried out a suicide attack on American troops in Iraq in 2005.

Still, despite these activities, most of the charges that the Belgian authorities threw at Aroud didn’t stick. In 2003, she was arrested and released over the Tunisian professional footballer Nizar Trabelsi’s conspiracy to attack a NATO air base near the Belgian-Dutch border. Trabelsi admitted to meeting Bin Laden and dreaming of being a suicide bomber. In 2007, Aroud was arrested for her involvement in a conspiracy to spring Trabelsi from prison before his extradition to the U.S. — but the case didn’t make it to court. The following year, Aroud was arrested again, on yet another terrorism charge — this time for being part of an imminent suicide attack on European summit leaders in Brussels. All the participants had received training in Afghanistan and used her website, Minbar SOS, to communicate. By 2007 she was, according to Swiss prosecutors, directing her second husband Moez Garsalloui’s terror activities. Garsalloui had fled to Afghanistan in late 2007 and had become the leader of Jund al-Khilafah, or the “soldiers of the caliphate.” He was responsible for several attacks in Central Asia and, in 2012, claimed responsibility for training Mohammed Merah, a Frenchman of Algerian descent, who murdered several women and children in a Jewish school in Toulouse. Garsalloui was eventually killed in a drone strike in the same year in Miranshah, Pakistan.

Aroud was able to stay largely out of jail, perhaps partly because the authorities were wholly unprepared to deal with jihadists and radicals like her and partly because she trod the fine line between the legal and the illegal. The law found it hard to pin anything explicit on her, because the effect her words had was intangible. Bernard Bertossa, the Swiss judge at her trial in 2007, said that she exploited the right to freedom of expression and peddled propaganda. It seems that these were tactics she used with great skill. Her words had a way of finding themselves on the bookshelves of radical jihadis all over the Francophone world, in the same way Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” might find its way onto the bookshelves of the far right.

In 2010, the Belgian authorities finally convicted Aroud for jihadist recruitment and jailed her. Despite her incarceration, however, her status as the “First Lady of Jihad” was ascendant, and she continued to wield influence. Now, she was able to leverage a well-worn Islamic trope — that of being a prisoner for Islam. She wasn’t just a martyr’s widow, nor merely a self-styled caller to the “truth,” who was trying to awaken the Muslim world from its torpor. She was also someone who the infidel powers were trying to shut down. Through her friends, Aroud was still able to communicate and post about her “suffering” to Francophone jihadist websites.

This influence became even more pronounced as IS made its appearance in Syria in 2012-13, and fighters began to make their way to the Syrian battlefield from France and Belgium. According to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, France became the biggest exporter of jihadists in Europe, while Belgium had the highest number of fighters per capita of any Western nation.

While researching my book on the Afghanistan War, having covered many of the terrorist attacks of the last decade, including in Paris and Brussels, I noticed that Aroud’s subtle but lethal influence became increasingly apparent through the wreckage. According to Vlierden, when French prosecutors accused Yassin Salhi of beheading his employer and ramming a truck into a U.S.-owned chemical factory in 2015, they traced the ringleader to a French IS operative in Syria — Sebastien Yunes Voyez Zairi. When they raided Zairi’s home, they found Aroud’s 2004 autobiography, “Les Soldats de Lumiere” (The Soldiers of Light) in his home. “Les Soldats” turned up in the belongings of the Charlie Hebdo attacker, Cherif Kouachi, as well. French police also found the book in the home of Hayat Boumeddiene, whose husband Amedy Coulibaly went on a murderous spree at the same time as a manhunt for the Kouachi brothers was underway in January 2015. After the Charlie Hebdo attack, Boumeddiene escaped to Syria and joined IS. She was later sentenced to life in a French court in absentia.

Aroud’s associates also cropped up regularly in Europe and Syria. Leonard Lopez, the administrator of the jihadist website Ansar al-Haqq, “helpers of the truth,” to which Aroud was a regular contributor in the 2000s, took his whole family to the IS “caliphate.” He was sentenced to death by an Iraqi court in 2019. Another associate, Amor Sliti, convicted for his involvement in the assassination of Massoud, joined IS and died in Syria. His daughter, Hafsa, was repatriated from a camp in northern Syria and sentenced to five years in prison in Belgium. Aroud’s loyal friend Fatima Aberkan, wife of Trabelsi, went to the Turkish-Syrian border to help fighters cross over into Syria. Several of Aberkan’s sons fought and died with IS and earned Aberkan the nickname “The Mother of Jihad” from the Francophone press.

Another close associate of Aberkan was the notorious recruiter Khalid Zerkani. The Zerkani network was “by far the most dangerous,” says Pieter Van Ostaeyen, a researcher of Belgian jihadist networks. Belgian prosecutors say Zerkani perverted a whole generation of Belgian youth. I obtained some of the material that Zerkani fed his recruits; they were texts published on Lopez’s jihadist website, the same website to which Aroud contributed. It was those recruits who laid Syrian villages to waste because the villagers wanted democracy. It was his recruits who killed innocent people in Paris and Brussels in 2015 and 2016. And just to make the connection and influence of Aroud explicit, it was Al-Wafa Media, a pro-IS channel, that justified the terror attacks by citing the imprisonment of “our sister Malika.” Aroud’s influence, though hard to pinpoint, was undeniable.

But it was Aroud’s work in redefining the role of women and jihad that arguably made her the “First Lady of Jihad.” Traditionally, with a few notable exceptions, Islam discouraged women from taking part in the battlefield. A woman’s role was usually considered auxiliary, such as tending to the wounded or looking after the warrior’s family from afar, in a place of safety. The fact that Aroud had gone to Afghanistan to support her husband broke that convention. Here was a novel way to support the jihad, she seemed to say. Moreover, her example was counter to scholars who argued that women needed permission from their parents to embark on such jihadist adventures. She offered a model to radical women through her lived experience. A woman’s role was to stand beside her man and give him steely resolve, to make sure he kept his commitment, to call others to jihad and raise the next generation. This is why Aberkan said that Aroud was an “inspiration for women because she is telling women to stop sleeping and open their eyes.”

Many of the Francophone women who joined IS came of age in a world that Aroud helped create, most notably Boumeddiene. In many ways, these French and Belgian“jihadi brides” (as they became known) emulated Aroud. Just like her, they recruited, albeit on social media. They celebrated when their husbands were martyred and posed with Kalashnikovs, taunting the men into action. Furthermore, following the defeat of IS in 2019, when they were corralled into al-Hol and Roj, all-women camps the size of small towns in northern Syria, they became prisoners “for” Islam who asked the ummah to save them from the rapacious hands of the “infidel” powers, in this case the Kurdish militias.

In 2018, the Belgian authorities, fed up, stripped Aroud of her citizenship and tried to deport her to Morocco, her country of birth. Aroud appealed, claiming that she would be subjected to torture. Rabat, understandably, didn’t want her back either, and so she remained incarcerated while her case ping-ponged between Brussels and the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, until her death in April 2023.

Even beyond the grave, however, her troubling legacy remains. For policymakers currently wrestling with the repatriation of jihadist women, Aroud’s life and death are a constant reminder of the powerful role these “jihadi brides” played in the Syrian conflict and the chaos they could cause at home. Arguably, her ghost goes a small way to explaining why human rights organizations accuse the French government of willfully slowing down the process of repatriation. Given the terror attacks in Paris and Brussels, it is understandable that these governments take the view that the women, though they are French or Belgian citizens, are not simply groomed victims or mere housewives but potential criminal accomplices and extremely dangerous.

Aroud’s case demonstrated how hard it was to convict radicals like her. It becomes even harder to establish guilt in a fluid conflict zone, where evidence and testimonies are difficult to collect and collate. The undertaking, in terms of cost, is huge. To take them at their word, that they were just housewives busy with home and hearth, would have been easier to swallow had their husbands not been busy committing mass murder outside. What if they were like the German IS bride Jennifer Wenisch — a mistress who abused her Yezidi slave and the woman’s 5-year-old daughter? She left the poor child chained to the bed, dying in agony, as the daytime heat reached 50 degrees Celsius. Moreover, reports from al-Hol and Roj suggest that the women’s extremist ideas have not abated but are very much alive. In the minds of policymakers, then, there is always fear that these repatriated IS wives will radicalize others. After all, both France and Belgium have large Muslim populations. What if these returnees hatched new plots or turned out to be like Aroud?

One can see the political logic behind the French and Belgian governments’ decisions that the fate of their citizens in Iraq must follow local jurisdiction. This will not only prevent their own judicial and penitentiary systems from being overwhelmed, but also save them from making politically unpalatable decisions. It seems far easier for the Iraqi justice system to deliver dubious but swift “justice.” Somehow, the Iraqi judiciary has figured out a way of passing life and death sentences in less than 10 minutes. Iraqis are in no mood to show clemency, since it was their country that suffered the consequences. Many believe that these young women jihadis must own their actions.

Nevertheless, for European policymakers, the “First Lady of Jihad” should serve as a stark reminder that it will do them no good to abandon their citizens who are now in northern Syria. Without a systematic policy of repatriation with security, fairness and justice at its core, European governments’ actions may breed many more like Aroud, more “prisoners for Islam,” in the future — not to mention what the governments’ decisions will mean for the multitudes of innocent children who had no part to play in the actions of their parents. After all, Aroud’s legacy may yet produce a new batch of radical jihadists.
