KUALA LUMPUR (Arrahmah.com) - Minister of Kelantan, Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat issued a statement one day after the Americans broadcast the news on the martyrdom of Sheikh Osama Bin Laden.

Here is Nik Abdul Aziz's statement:

If you really think that Osama Bin Laden actually was killed by U.S. troops as announced by President Barack Obama last night (05/02/2011), then I as a Muslim pray for mercy and forgiveness from Allah for Osama Bin Laden who is my brother in Islam.

This is demanded by Islam when receiving news about fellow Muslim brother's death. If he dies in a state of faith, pleading prayers were offered by forgiveness to them from another Muslim brother.

As for Osama Bin Laden's involvement with acts of terrorism, I leave everything to God because he is still not proven yet, but only the widespread of such propaganda which was pioneered by the United States. If it is true he was involved with acts of terrorism, of course I do not support terrorism. However, bin Laden's involvement with acts of terrorism remains a vague news that could not be validated, but the United States own involvement in terrorism has been proven.

This is obvious with the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq which had destroyed the two countries with the aim of seeking weapons of mass destruction that could not be found until today. What the United States has done to act against Israel's evil doings in the land of Palestine? Not only the Americans did not act, but instead the most hardliner Americans support Israel. Indeed, if bin Laden is considered as a terrorist, then Israel is more appropriately known as terrorists, and their supporters, the United States, also can never escape from the same stigma.

This is what I said to the Ambassador of the United States who came to my office on 28 April 2011, that any pair slippers a master should not be deprived, let alone a sovereign country like Palestine, and similarly the Israelis do not have rights to seize Palestine.

As for those who say that the world is more safe with the death of Osama, I consider the statement as inaccurate and intended only to manifest themselves as American lackeys. If the world is more safe with the death of bin Laden, whether the world will also be more happy with being American?

So, yours respectfully.

Apologies for choppy translation, no editing done courtesy of Google Translator.
Good news for few, bad news for many.

(Arrahmah.com) - An Egyptian Mujahid who had been a high-ranking Special Forces have been selected to "guard" leadership of Al Qaeda after the martyrdom (Insha Allah) Sheikh Osama bin Laden may Allaah have mercy, according to a source quoted by CNN. International media reported this news on Tuesday (17/05/2011).

Interim leader of Al Qaeda today is Saif al-Adel, who has long played an important role in the group, said Noman Benotman. Benotman has long been known in the leadership of Al Qaeda for more than two decades. He never became the leader of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), an organization "militant" who formerly had the same ideology with Al Qaeda but has now left their original ideology.

Benotman told CNN that based on personal communication with the mujahideen and jihad discussions in the forum, al-Adel, also known as Muhammad Ibrahim Makkawi, has been selected as Al-Qaeda chiefs temporarily because of the global jihadist community have been turbulent in recent days to wait for the official announcement of the successor son of Laden.

Still according to the recognition Benotman, this is not a formal decision of Al Qaeda's shura council, because it's not currently possible to gather them in one place, but it seems this is a decision six to eight high-ranking Al Qaeda in Afghanistan-Pakistan border region. Al-Adel is one of the bigwigs in the region.

Al Adel fought against the Soviet Union during the 1980's. After the fall of the Taliban in the winter of 2001, he went to Iran. According to senior officials "counter-terrorism" Arabia, from where Al-Adel inaugurate a branch of Al Qaeda in Saudi Arabia to launch their attack campaign that began in Arabia in Riyadh in May 2003.

Some reports in one year terakhit said that it sounded like Al Adel has left Iran and are in Pakistan.

There has been no official release from the Al Qaeda to respond to this news.

So what will be after Sheikh Usama?

Arrahmah has labeled him a ‘hero of Jihad’. Death of Sheikh Usama or better known as Osama bin Laden has sprouted more anxiety and worry worldwide. This marks the end of the long-waged hunt against the iconic figure of Jihad and terrorism. This also marks the beginning of many more aggression and violence as a form of retaliation towards the US for killing Sheikh Usama. Killed and dumped him into the sea.

The US deserves a wallop for their tactless approach in managing the media, the public and target audience, and as well as the leaders behind the staged murder. Sadly, as much as we understand the need to make the death of Usama a low key one and the terrorist leader not to be worshipped as an idol, the US have failed miserably still. Rated poor. Fail!

In fact, the reactions from the orthodox and radical Muslims became virulent, with promises of sweet vengeance. The anticipated repercussions became more worrying as more lives will be at stake, and the extent of damage on political, social and economy of the victimized country will be epic . The world will also feel the tremors of terrorist attacks, near or far.

It does not even help that the sacred body of Sheikh Usama was claimed dumped into the sea, and that the US will not released the pictures of the deceased Sheikh Usama. Why??? Was it because the damaged done was so bad that Sheikh Usama looked unrecognizable? Or was it because the US was scared of the reactions among the radicals in Indonesia, Africa and Middle East, no?

In everything that we do, we have to be ready to face the consequences of our actions. Face the music. Running away and escapism will vacillate the people. It will also paint a negative light on other fellow Muslims who are tormented and jilted for the acts of their Muslim brothers who believed in aggression. And these are so called rash acts and sentiments that were felt, not because they readily believe in the ideology taught by their society, peers or family, but because they see the impossible and unfathomable actions of the US, trying to leave their mark in every country, and leave swiftly after making a crazy mess out of it. Just because economically war will generate lucrative income, that doesn’t mean it benefit many others who inadvertently became the product of war. Selfishness will only create more selfish acts from others.

Logically, even without the use of religion to exercise righteousness, we can use our brains for those who have, to observe and rationalize the current situations, based from the series of events that befell on the US, and those that came in hard on those who were innocent.

Let us not become blinded by what perceived as facts, let us sift through the so called facts and understand the reasons behind those so called righteous acts, and realized that we have been so called deceived.
