El-Zaraqawy legend

Last night the United states got rid from one its most wanted live or dead men in Iraq and the world , the man from J.O.R.D.A.N better known as Abu Massab El-Zaraqawy.

Suddenly all the Iraqi TV channel broadcasted the cheerful victory the American Army had achieved yesterday morning ; They got rid from the menace , they killed Ahmed Fadeel Nazal El-Khallialah a.k.a Abu Massab El-Zaraqawy , the leader of El-Jihad organization in the countries of Euphrates , the Iraqi branch for El-Qaida “The base” terrorist organization. The 40 years old man was a wanted terrorist whom the United States put 25 million dollars reward for the one who not only catch him live but for the one who just have a reliable information that can lead to him

Unfortunately the 25 million dollars won’t go to anyone “or may be they won’t announce it for fear on the operative identity “ , as the American army after years in searching for the man and after precise intelligence information , they located his position , his safe house as they called it yesterday in the press conference at the Pentagon and so accordingly American Air fighters made raids on the area where he was , they throw two bombs each one weighted 300 pounds of TNT or what ever was used from explosives ,so you can imagine the result

Strangely according to an American top military spokesman the man was still alive after the Air strike !! He was wounded when the Iraqi police arrived to the collection to take it from there , I thought that in such operations those who will take the charge will be the Army , not the police “sorry I forgot the Iraqi situation right now” . The Americans said that he said some last words they could n’t understand , he mumbled something than passed away because of his wounds .

He was not alone in the safe house ,there were other three an Iraqi spiritual consultant of the terrorist as the American General called him and this is the first time I heard with such position in Islam , was some kind of guru or something !? There was also a woman and young child , they seemed to be a mother and her kid ,strange thing yesterday the Americans denied that there was a child among the killed , you know those ethical problems , it won’t be nice especially with the talk of Haditha , oh boy Haditha

As it appeared in the pictures released by the U.S forces yesterday , a man is in the morgue , the same face we knew from the released picture , the chubby face with beard but with lifeless closed eyes . It is strange nowadays that pictures of dead people in the morgue to be released like this , it is not because he was El-Zaraqawy , more than I am raised that the Dead people or Death got its own respect even for your enemy , I didn’t like the picture of El-Zaraqawy as a dead man in the morgue in the same way I didn’t like the pictures of late president Anwar El-Sadaat which were published from few years ago in some Tabloid newspaper . But of course I understand why the Americans used this uncivilized technique , to let the whole world know for sure that the man is dead at last , real dead , from a living body to a dead corpse . I don’t know and I don’t like to compare but the picture of his dead face reminded me with the dead corpse of Che Guevara , despite all the objections still there are some similarities , both the United States wanted and considered them as a danger on the American and the civilized western world peace “The red danger and The green danger “ ,both became legends for oppressed people across the world and both represented different ideologies , defending the right by doing the wrong .

Who was the man ?

He was born in 1966 in El-Zaraqa “The blue “ in the North East of Amman the Jordanian capital , from there he took the title name of El-Zaraqawy which refers to his belonging to the city , like Da Vinci , Da Zaraqawy or the blue ,Da blue , he took during his stay in Afghanistan.

Anyway his real name was Ahmed Fadeel Nazal El-Khallialah.

He belongs to the Bani Hassan Tribes , very famous tribe in Jordan known to its loyalty to the Hishami royal dynasty “he seems to me as black sheep !!” .As you know despite the modern style of the Jordanian kingdom that appears in the look of Queen Rania El-Abd Allah , Jordan considered a country with a tribal system , the tribe style the core stone of the nation, by the way after the bombing of Akaba that happened last year , this tribe announced its innocence from this guy , he is longer from them and this is in the tribal culture is a great punishment as he brought disgrace to them ,thus he is longer from them , it is like exile .

He didn’t complete his education, yet he worked as an employee in the county , known for his wild irresponsible acts and listen to this , he was imprisoned several times for criminal acts !! “we got an anti hero here”

This is before the Afghanistan ‘s period where all the most wanted men in the world nowadays turned in to what we know nowadays as the so called Islamist terrorists

The legend didn’t end it already started!!

The United States and The West are happy that the man is dead at last and Democracy which came on the American tanks can adopted in Iraq and the Iraqi people will live in peace happily ever after. All the news websites described his death as the end of the legend . the end of terrorism era with all these optimistic reactions while in reality in my opinion with his dramatic death and shocking photos the United States whether intentionally or unintentionally created a legend from the myth known as El-Zaraqawy the resistant of the American troops in the Arabic Islamic land of Iraq ,just like the myth of El-Qaida

El-Zaraqawy group what ever it is called and what ever it is connection with El-Qaida didn’t do a real resistance work in Iraq more than kidnapping foreigners mostly diplomats and kill them in the most brutal way the Islam had prohibited from 14 centuries

People hate the United States now more than any time , occupying part of the Arab world and controlling the other part not to mention the old heritage of supporting Israel, and thus if the United States Army kill someone they say that he resists them , this will shock the people and make glorify the man as a hero , a national hero who was killed by the occupant armies , you know like Adham El-Sharkwy , the famous Egyptian pop hero , return back in history and dig in his roots ,you will find that he was a criminal thief

It is more psychological thing that is related with our weakness feeling in the Arab world , we are people characterized with high pride and to live in the humiliating world of today which disrespect the Arabs makes us look for any hope , any hero or even anti- hero to hold on

Why I am saying and writing this simply because I found out young Arabs in the internet forums not political or religious ones , forums for mp3s and movies download were sad for his death !! these are not radical young men ,they are far away from radicalism ,they listen to Haifa , search for Ruby’s photos and download Marwa’s hot music videos ; these young people are calling him a hero who was fighting the Americans !!

Already I was surprised from few weeks when Al-Jazeera broadcasted the video message of the late man , I was surprised to find that he was a true person

For four years now I believed that there is no man called El-Zaraqawy , he is just a boogie man the American Administration fabricated easily ,come all what we had seen was his famous chubby face with a beard black and white picture , the information in Jordan can fabricated easily , yes I know that sounds crazy but if you live in Egypt ,you will know how capable the authorities of security of creating false enemies with history . This feeling was strengthened with the strange situation in Iraq with all these resistance and terrorist groups , you don’t know who is the resistant from the terrorist !! you don’t know who is good guy from the bad guy !! The Americans created a chaos, and it seemed to me and to the other that El-Zaraqawy was among the pleas the American army was using day and night to justify its existence in Iraq , to fight those terrorists “El-Zaraqawy” who are against the democracy we brought with us from D.C . Towns and Cities were destroyed ,Women and children were killed in Air Strikes with no regret what so ever just to catch this blue Jordanian

Now before I go for the world cup and watch Germany I wonder if this victory was made to cover up Haditha’s massacre

  4. It's rather funny for me how my thoughts clashes when it comes to any figure of an American claimed terrorist groups. I personally don't know anymore who is evil and who is good. And between the evils, who is more evil? The western liberalism or the Qaeda terrorism?

    I was reading Al Jazeera today about the recent events and I noticed their poll about "How did you feel about Zarkawi's death? Happy/Sad/Don't care". It struck me because this is exactly how I felt; lost. I hurried to check the results to found out a majority voting for "Sad", around 26.000+ back when I checked. So, is this how we see him? A hero? Because if he was one, then I certainly need to redo my Islam 101 course again...

    Oh, Zeino, thanks for the Atom link.

  5. @Yehia ,that what I mean by the legend of El-Zaraqawy , unfortunately people in the arab world are looking for any to express their anger whether he is right or wrong , whether he is real patriot or a spy
    they don't see the truth and they don't want to see it
    El-Zaraqawy all what he did was against the Islam ,yet they consider him a hero of Islam just because the United States killed him !!

  6. he might not be a hero as yehia said, and i say i'm not sad for his death but i'm all angry that US Army is enjoying the victory -even if on the surface - coz the bend attitude can't and must not be justified or straightened by force and lies.
    killing a killer does not justify a murder.
    The USA is practicing a shameful occupation in Iraq and is facilitating another in Palestine.
    I’m sad for that, but I know for sure that justice will take place sooner or later. And that’s where I lay in rest.
    Please ALLAH help us..
    And Zeinobia, ur blog is a thrill. I’ll keep coming for ur latests and I hope u’ll check on mine too.
    ur friend in voice,
    o.s. nuri
