Inside a narrow alley in Tikrit, a large crowd of mourners came from surrounding villages to offer condolences at funeral services for three students who died at the hands of al-Qaeda gunmen at their secondary school.
Police Captain Kareem Fadhil's 16-year-old son Salam was killed along with two of his fellow students -- Luay and Ali -- Monday (April 23rd) during a chemistry class.
"My son was killed before the teacher and in front of his classmates," Fadhil said. "I will not stop fighting them [al-Qaeda] even if they killed all my children and family. We are now in the middle of the road where there is no turning back. It is either victory over al-Qaeda or death, valiantly and without humiliation."
Atheer Hassan al-Shammary, one of Salam's classmates, said, "Whoever is looking for a definition of al-Qaeda and the nature of its activity should look at the graves of Salam, Luay and Ali."
"[Salam] was only interested in his studies and sports. He had nothing else on his mind. We were preparing for the school final exams, and so was he. His fragrance can still be smelled inside the classroom, and his laughter and innocent pranks are still felt amongst us. No one wants to go back to class as everybody is in a state of shock which will not end until the criminals are captured and punished for their cowardly crime," al-Shammary said.
Last Monday, Iraqi police in Salah al-Din province announced that three students died and two others were injured inside a secondary school south of Tikrit when gunmen stormed the school during class and opened fire on the students.
Hasan al-Majmaie, the Salah al-Din police spokesperson, said three masked gunmen were responsible for the attacks. He said the police arrested one gunman, who is being interrogated, while the other two escaped.
There are terrorist motives for the attack because the boys' fathers worked for the police, al-Majmaie said.
A picture shows the first victim, Salam, wearing the t-shirt of his favourite soccer team, Barcelona, with the inscription "martyr of knowledge and scholarship" written underneath it. His mother -- who refused to talk or receive any mourners from the neighbourhood because of her condition -- called on her husband to capture the killers and bring them to justice, which she considered the best consolation for Salam's death.
"The terrorist groups, after having given up on targeting security personnel as they did in previous years, started to launch cowardly terrorist attacks against their next of kin," al-Majmaie said.
"At first al-Qaeda demands collaboration with it, and if a security man refuses, it will threaten to kill members of his family, which is what happened with our colleague Kareem and the other two officers, Najad Ali and Ibrahim Khalid, whose sons were killed in the cowardly attack," he said.
"When we captured one of the attackers, the reality of the terrorists' state of loss and weakness was made clear," al-Majmaie said. "We also identified the names of the other two, for whom search operations are underway to capture [and it] is only a matter of time before that will happen."
Lt. Col. Najad Ali's 16-year-old son Luay was killed in the attack.
"I was working in Baghdad when my brother informed me about what happened. I do not know what happened to me, but I awoke with my colleagues pouring water on my face because I had passed out," said Ali, a staff member in the counter-terrorism unit in Baghdad.
"Luay was the light of my eyes and my life and I used to see myself in him. I will never forgive that beast who fired the shot at his head and killed an innocent soul. If he only knew my son's good-hearted nature and his good demeanour, he would not have dared to inflict any harm on him, but we have become used to their savagery and lowliness. Al-Qaeda and all the terrorists must know that I am more determined to pursue, capture and kill them," he said.
Sheikh Fathi Abdullah, an imam at a mosque in Tikrit, told Mawtani the gunmen "have no faith".
"[These gunmen] are violating the faith and Islam. It is not admissible to kill the son or wife of a person even if he was a criminal. That is what our faith states but they have no faith," he said. "Al-Qaeda members' wives and sons are living amongst us, and no one would commit any offense against them. They should have known the extent of their terror by the crime they committed. We as religious scholars consider this crime a filthy, lowly one, for which the government and the security forces must eliminate those responsible as soon as possible."
Rasheed al-Douri, a leader in Tikrit's Sahwa forces, told Mawtani, "The terrorists' masks and their resounding slogans have fallen off and revealed their true faces. Killing teenagers inside a school to take revenge on their fathers indicates three things: the first is that they have no morals, or mercy, and do not deserve to live; the second is they are in a state of loss and in their weakest state; the third is they are incapable of targeting security personnel and confronting them face to face."

I call on the government to remember the families of the brave martyrs, who left their children weeping over their departure and relatives whose hearts, were broken for the same reason.

Don’t mix and depict the movements “JOESAMY.” O God, have mercy upon them and make our final deeds and theirs good deeds. I would like to respond to the brother by saying that the Muslim leaders at large are all terrorists. Not everyone who immigrates and establishes a Jihadist or triggers a revolution or founds a party is an infiltrator. Your claim is that they should remain in their countries of origin, even if they have to stay in places of refuge, like the revolutionary Kurdish leader Abdullah Ocalan. Then why did he leave his own country in the first place, only to be arrested later? With all due respect, but you shouldn’t accuse everyone.

For instance, Islam is innocent of their acts, given that our religion has not ordered us to murder the innocent. Even other religions do not recognize the validity of their acts. They are an incurable epidemic for the community. Yet, we could annihilate them and rid the world of their poisons which they are spreading in the minds of our youth to recruit them into their criminal organizations. In so doing, the youth would lose their future. Thus, these people do not deserve mercy because their hands are stained with innocent blood. They have claimed the lives of a lot of children and women. They have committed a lot of crimes. They do not distinguish between the innocent and the occupation forces and their acts against our brotherly Palestinians. Thus, every honest citizen must cooperate with the Security Services and report on any member of these suspects in order to rid society of these terrorist movements so that all citizens all over the world will enjoy peace. May Allah protect us and you from their evils, sow dissension among them and protect our country and people from them.

O Allah, have mercy on them, you are the most merciful, O Allah, make their death a rest, O Allah, save them from the torment of the grave. Those martyrs are now under the protection of their Creator and He is more merciful to them than any human beings. Those martyrs who helplessly were killed are innocent and do not deserve what happened to them, but Allah wishes and He did what he wanted. O Allah, grant patience to their parents and families for being separated from their loved ones; we know the pain they are suffering from, but may Allah protect them. Those groups that caused pain to people do not have hearts that feel, not even a mind to think with, but all they care for is their personal interests. O Allah, make them a lesson to the people. O Allah, cleanse the country of them. O Allah, we ask for your protection, protect us O Lord of the universe and the last of our prayers is praise be to Allah.

The terrorist organizations, including the terrorist al-Qaeda, caused a lot of tragedies which caused the martyrdom of many innocent people who lost their lives as a result of the acts of the criminals who sold their consciences among the followers of the terrorist al-Qaeda. I resort to Allah, the Lord of the Mighty Throne, with mercy and forgiveness for all the innocent martyrs who were been killed by al-Qaeda through its acts and criminal operations, and I ask for compassion, blessing and forgiveness for our martyrs, and that Allah will take them to the highest degree of satisfaction and put them in the Gardens of bliss and bring them together with the martyrs and grant them full intercession. O Allah, send down your mercy to their graves and wash them with water, ice and cold; our Lord replace the martyrs’ homes and their relatives’ homes with better homes and extend their graves. O Allah, separate them and their bad deeds as you distanced the east and the west, and go beyond their sins with your subtlety and forgiveness, and change their sins into good deeds. O Allah, I ask you and you are Lord of the Mighty Throne, the All-Compassionate and the All-Merciful to have mercy on all the martyrs who are exposed to terrorism and the terrorist al-Qaeda; the operations of al-Qaeda have caused all these convoys of martyrs who have been oppressed by terrorism and You, O Allah, know their situation and conditions and you know all this oppression and injustice that occurred to them by your enemies. O Lord, grant your mercy to our martyrs, send them down like rain, O God, and be gentle to them.

You are a bunch of criminals; vampires that deserve death, but a slow death without pity.

I heard a saying by Omar, may God be pleased with him, that if he were at the door of Paradise, he would not guarantee that he would enter. This was said by Omar! I heard a saying by Ali about the Kharijites; i.e., those who opposed Ali ibn al-Khattab, who were fighting him. He called them “our brothers who wronged us.” I heard a saying by one of the Righteous Caliphs and one of the people who had been promised Paradise, in which he said: “I was authorized to rule you, and I am not the best of you.” So, why do we see Muslims these days acting as if they were guaranteed to enter Paradise? They act as if they are the people of righteousness and others are the people of falsehood, even though I know that the Best of Creation, Muhammad, peace be upon him, prayed for his people, despite what they did. He said: “O God, guide my people, for they don't know.” He also prayed and said: “O God, empower Islam with one of the two people named Omar.” They were the people who were most opposed to the Messenger and Islam. God answered his prayer and He guided Omar ibn al-Khattab. So, why do Muslims kill, destroy and intimidate in the name of Islam? I learned that one of the companions was in a battle; one of the enemies injured him. Then, God enabled the companion to capture the enemy. He uttered the testimony of faith, but the companion killed him. The Messenger of God became angry. So, the companion said that the enemy said the testimony of faith to escape death. The Messenger answered him: “Have you spilled his heart?” Why do Muslims act today as if each of them knows the Unknown and establishes himself as a god on earth? He knows the Unknown, so he knows that he is one of the good people, and others are the people of falsehood. He knows that others are hopeless and that the death of them and their progeny is better than being alive. I heard the Best of Creations saying, when his people were torturing and harming him: “Maybe there will be people descending from their progeny who will say: ‘There is no God except God.’” So, do they really want goodness for Islam and Muslims? Do they want pride to Islam and Muslims, or do they want to destroy Islam? The enemies of the early centuries have seen the justice, goodness, loyalty, mercy, compassion, truthfulness, honesty, sacrifice and knowledge of Islam. So, what did those people present to Islam except destruction, brutality, backwardness and disunity? And they attributed these to Islam. Those are the enemies of Islam?! Those are the enemies of Islam. It is true that we are banned in wars from cutting down any tree, or from harming an old man or a woman. So, why do we see the people of ignorance and meanness killing children who are learning to raise the flag of Islam? The advancement of the individuals of the Muslim community is the advancement of all the society. Oh, how I wish to regain the pride of Islam, so that we could cut off the hands of those who terrorize Muslims! How I wish that God would give victory to Islam, so that it would demolish the people of ignorance and spread knowledge and the true religion of God!

We pray to God Almighty to have mercy on the martyrs of Iraq, and to give their families patience and solace! To God we belong and to Him we shall return! Recite al-Fatiha for the deceased believers (Muhammad, PBUH).

Who told you they are from al-Qaeda? Have the Americans ever left you alone? Why don't you think and see the one who is causing feuds between the Muslims? Is al-Qaeda free to fight the people in its lands, or the Americans? Wake up and know who your enemy is. When we kick the Americans out of our Arab world, then we will see the corrupt people, because there are good and bad people in every institution.

It is such a heinous, appalling, cowardly, mean action. But the question that begs an answer is, who brought Al Qaeda to Tikrit? I leave the answer to you.

If Al Qaeda is wreaking havoc on earth, the lord of this world won’t let them get away with that. He is merely giving them more time, and I hope He will punish them.

Before condemning this terrorist act, we have to ask ourselves this question: who is the one who first created these terrorist gangs? Why do we have to look at history from an objective point of view? British imperialism was the first to create the so-called Muslim Brotherhood in 1928, to sabotage all anti-colonial, freedom-seeking movements. If this was not the case, why was the Muslim Brotherhood the only group that was allowed to exist publicly, and not other parties? Not to mention the fact that the colonial powers always embraced those who exploited religion for the benefit of the rich. They have links with global colonial powers, including al-Khomainy, the head of global terrorism, who lived in France for 20 years, together with hundreds of his followers. The same is true of Rached Ghannouchi, co-founder and head of the al-Nahda Movement in Tunisia. Ghannouchi also spent over 20 years in the UK, and the question is, why do Western countries provide a safe haven for all political leaders who use religion as a façade for their activities? Is there a single nationalist political leader who sought refuge in the west? We all remember the great struggler, Abdullah Öcalan, the Kurdish leader who spearheaded the struggle of his nation secretly, until the Western powers managed to spot his hideout and handed him over to Turkey. Why did the Western countries refuse to have him in their countries, as they did with Khomainy of Iran and Ghannouchi of Tunisia? The answer is simple: anyone who uses religion as a façade is a natural ally of the colonial powers, while the genuine freedom fighters are considered foes by the colonial powers. That is why they receive the former group in their countries. Who is the one who provided training and armaments to terrorist groups, so that they could wage war against the former Soviet Union? Who is the one who has benefited from this? Is it not the Western countries and their complicit Arab states, in order to serve the interests of global imperialism and their backward Arab allies?
