OUTLINE OF ACTIVITIES

INTRODUCTION

(grabber)

Terrorists view themselves as loyal soldiers in the service of Allah and they will never stop in their efforts to institute Islamic values worldwide. The USA is their only perceived enemy. 1 out of every 6 people on this planet is Muslim.

A. INSTRUCTOR INTRODUCTION - the Instructor, who is of Lebanese descent and is a fluent Arabic speaker, has developed this course pursuant to a 25 year period of total immersion in the Arabic/Islamic culture, theaters of operations, and tactics of terrorist's activities. The Instructor is one of our nation's most successful paramilitary, military, and intelligence operatives. The Instructor is also a reserve police officer, therefore this course is designed and conducted from the viewpoint of law enforcement.

B. NEEDS STATEMENT

1. Counterterrorism is the TOP priority for the FBI in today's climate and will undoubtedly remain so in the foreseeable future, therefore it is of grave and immediate importance that we as inVestigators and analysts understand what drives our enemies, who differ greatly from the FBI's traditional and historical targets, as to their values, attitudes and beliefs. Recent events, of course including the most despicable event of all, 9/11, along with the war in Iraq and instability throughout the middle east, the mind set of IslaMic extremists world wide, and the presence of a direct threat in the Homeland itself, have given rise to an immediate need for FUNCTIONAL training versus academic training. Without this basic knowledge, our investigative and intelligence efforts cannot succeed.

C. THESIS STATEMENT

1. This course has been designed to enhance student knowledge of many of the factors involved in understanding the Islamic faith and the origins of the thought processes maintained by the Islamic extremists, to ensure that the knowledge gained in this course can be utilized in effective IT investigations to include interviewing, asset recruitment and intelligence analyses.

IL BODY

MAIN POINTS

(1 hr) A. History of Islam - Islam and Koran Overview (PowerPoint0 presentation)(use the flipchart for Arabic)

1. Use lecture to introduce this block of instruction and to point out that any efforts to understand our enemies of today must begin with a basic historic understanding of the Islamic faith.

2. Begin the lecture with a discussion of the era before the time that Mohammad received the verses from the angel Gabriel. Explain life in the eons before Mohammad and point out that tribalism and paganism abounded in the Middle East. This period of time is referred to as "Jahilia." Jahilia is an Arabic word and means the "period of ignorance." During this time of "Jahilia" the human race conducted horrific events, especially aimed at the females born into this life.

3. Much of what was occurring in the land and the abominations which occurred over the centuries greatly effected life in this area This undoubtedly, had much influence on a young Mohanunad and his future creation of the Islamic faith.

4. Began the lecture with facts concerning Mohammad himself. Mohammad was born in the area now referred to as Mecca in Saudi Arabia in 570 AD. Discuss his early life. Mohammad received the first verses, which were the origin of the Islamic faith, in Mecca in

610 AD. The verses were received from the angel Gabriel and were received by Mohammad in beautiful Arabic verses. Mohammad would thereafter receive additional verses from the angel Gabriel, over the next 22 years of his life until his death in 632 AD. The fact that the verses were received by Mohammad only in Arabic and the Koran or Quinn, the Islamic holy book was created solely in Arabic is of utmost importance when attempting to understand the Islamic extremist and their total acceptance of Mohammad's vision that Islam is destined to be the only religion in the world. Lecture on how that belief which was envisioned and created in 610 AD by Mohammad with the birth of Islam still controls and drives terrorists like bin Laden and his followers. Mohammad's belief in the tenets he set out in Islam and the total adherence to those


rules by his followers have been passed down over the centuries and controls life in the Islamic and Arab world today.

5. The "Ahadith" consists of many writings created by the close followers of Mohammad during those days and the years that followed. The Ahadith allows a person of the Islamic faith to have a window into Mohamma.d's life during the time he was creating this faith. The Ahadith is composed of numerous I-Iadiths, which are Islamic accounts, stories, and teachings.

6. Jesus is discussed throughout the Islamic faith but the Muslim view of Jesus is vastly different than the Christian view. Muslims believe in Jesus but only view him as one of several prophets sent by God, (Allah) to spread the word. Christians have elevated Jesus to a god and that factor infuriates the extremists. Moses is also viewed as a prophet just as Mohammad is viewed. Christians believe that Jesus will return for the second time. Jews believe that Jesus has not yet appeared. Muslims believe that Jesus will return for the second time but only for the true believers of the Islamic faith and that he will destroy all Christians and Jews. The return of Jesus will be proceeded by the arrival of the "Mandi" who is described in detail in the Koran. The "Mandi" will arrive before Jesus and will liberate Lebanon, Syria and Iraq en route to Saudi Arabia. The"Mandi" will control a million man army and turn over command of this army to Jesus within nine years of its formation. Jesus will lead this army through the final battle which takes place in Jordan against the Jews and Christians. This is an interesting element of the faith in that it is fairly clear that bin Laden is believed by his followers to be the "Mandi."

7. Power Struggle - The Islamic faith underwent an important and often bloody schism soon after the death of Mohammad. During the early formation of the Islamic faith, Mohammad had complete and total control of all aspects of the directions of the faith. Mohammad never named a successor to continue the development of the faith after his death. During the formation of the Islamic faith by Mohammad he maintained five Khalefahs (captains or counselors): The two most noticeable of the five were Ali, cousin of the prophet, and the prophet's son-in-law. Ali was a mostly secular figure. The second was Abu Bakr, a confidant of the prophet, a non-secular extremist. Mohammad did not name a successor before his death in. 632 AD. All felt the Khalefah or successorship should be his based on his kinship with the prophet. Abu Bala disagreed citing that the faith needed a proven military leader to expand it. A feud ensued. Abu Bala assassinated Ali. As a consequence, two sects, of Islam were born.

8. Sects — The followers of Ali, who espoused his somewhat liberal teachings, on relations with Jews and Christians and the treatments of Muslims themselves called themselves Shia. They were the minority then, and they are still by far the minority in the Muslim world today. The Shia viewed the Koran as a flexible and generous document and tolerance is the main theme.

9. Sects — The followers of Abu Bala taught that the word contained in the Koran must be adhered to the letter of the Sharia law. There was no room for flexibility or interpretation from others. There is no room on this planet for any beliefs which are in any way contrary to Islam and the infidels the non-believers, primarily the West at the current time, were

(


S

to be conquered and transformed to Islam and/or killed outright. Abu Bala interpreted certain passages in the Koran, which suited his conservative and extremist vision, in a way to explain and defend any actions he conducted. Abu Bale's followers became the Sunni sect of the Islamic faith and the conservative/extremist views developed in the 7th century still drive the terrorists of today. Sunni Muslims comprise the majority of the 1.6 billion Muslims in the world today.

10. Sub-sects - Within the Sunni sect, additional sects have been created. For law enforcement purposes, the most notable of these is the Wahabi Sunni. Wahabis make up most of the population of Saudi Arabia and the fact is that all Al Qaeda terrorists are members of the Wahabi Sunni sect. bin Laden, himself, is a Wahabi Sunni Muslim. The Wahabis control the Koran and its issuance and distribution worldwide. No Koran is distributed without the approval of the Saudi Arabian government's religious institution. Other sub-sects to be noted: the Mahadis in the Sudan, Libya, and Algeria; the Hanafis and Hanbalis in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and various other "-stan" republics. These are also similar to the. Wahabi movement.

11. Throughout history, the Sunnis have been continuously involved in intelligenCe gathering of their perceived enemies as well as human operations designed to further the cause of Islam in the world.

12. All that was created beginning in 610 AD, and especially in the years during the great schism between the Shia's and the Sunnis, involving the radical view that Islam, according to Mohammad, is the only true faith in the world, is what drives and controls Al Qaeda today and will continue to do so in the future.

(1 hr) B. The Arab Mind

The basic premise of the Arab mind is that the Arab mind is a Cluster Thinker, while the Western mind tends to be a linear thinker. The Arab mind of today is a product of the Arab history before Islam, during Islam, and post-Islam (today). Islam, as a religion, effected every aspect of the Arab mind as follows:

1. .Language — the Arabic language before the Koran, although a living language, was spoken with various differing dialects that contributed to the fragmentation of the Arabic society. The Koran with its linguistic purity and supremacy united the various fragments and raised the standard for linguistic purity. Therefore Arabs of today could have common goals and act in unison.

2. Food — as a unifying doctrine, the Koran instructed in the strictest ways the fragmented Arabs to follow a standard diet and abstain from certain foods and drinks.

3. Attire — the . Koran also dictated certain clothing and colors for both men and women that further unified the Arab society. Head cover for men with certain colors now means different religious status. Examples: red and white checkered headgear used_to be and still today the colors of a fighter.


4. Customs and Traditions — the Koran as a document of law enhanced some traditions and turned some customs into law.

5. Do's and Don'ts concerning consensual contact, detention, interview, interrogations, analysis, and source acquisition.

6. How Islam affected the Arab mind — although Islam was not able to change the cluster Arab mind thinking into a linear one (though not likely the intention anyway) it alleviated some of the weaknesses that inflicted the Arab mind in general, especially in the area of tribal confinements and expanded that mind to think on national and global terms to be able to serve one of the primary purposes of the religion which is the globalization of Islam. Attempts to separate church and state in Islam will only enjoy temporary success. This is one of the most essential agents that contributed to the profile of the fundamentalist combatant.

7. Profile of the fundamentalist combatant — Arab Combatants before Islam were confined in their, doctrine and operations to family and tribal interests absent ideology. Islam gave these combatants regional and universal goals that united all Muslims and combined ideology, law, organizational structure, and theology under the banner of the globalization of Islam.

8. Family origin and Region can determine to a large extent a fundamentalist combatant's affiliation, mindset, level and origin of education, physical profile, as well as customs and traditions. A member of al-Atasi family for example, that originated in Hama, Syria could date his bloodline back to the Amawetes Khalefa. He would most likely have received higher religious education either in Al-Medina University in Saudi Arabia or Al-Azhar in Egypt. His loyalty would most likely be to the Syrian Islamic Brotherhood, the global Islamic

Brotherhood, and to one or various terrorist organizations. That level of loyalty could range from an active member/combatant, financial contributor, a willing supporter, or a dormant potential. He would most likely be 5'6" to 5'9", 160-170 pounds, black hair with brown eyes. The aforementioned profile would most likely match a 25-35 year old male. A further indicator of status and specialty would be how he wore his facial hair. In Jamaat E Tabliegh a fundamentalist who has reached special status will wear a long, thick beard. The hairs on his cheek will have been shaven off for a neat and clean look. The upper lip must be exposed so there will be no hair on. the upper lip. The small button of hair below the lower lip will also have been removed and maintained that way. A shaven head will never be done and is not excepted.

9. Paramilitary mindset — fundamentalist Muslims view the Koran as a rich and strict paramilitary document. They Can find in the Koran general operational plans, operational goals, and organizational structure as well as Sharia (legal) justification for their actions. What is murder to us is justifiable homicide to them at the very least, and a duty they shall undertake to enter heaven. As an example, a dormant potential enters the mosque in Sanaa, Yemen, listens to a Friday sermon, wakes up, gets recruited by a lama]. Tabliya, travels to Pakistan; gets indoctrinated into the extremist views, enters Afghanistan to receive military and paramilitary training, prepares for Jihad, fights, gets taken prisoner, and is now detained at Guantanamo Bay. The indoctrination, where the dormant potential wakes up to the calling of Allah to fight the


infidels which cover most of the Western world, is viewed as the only means to stop the west incursion/infringement on Islam. Indoctrination is also preventing him from cooperating with his captors or the Jews and Christians in general. In short, the indoctrination forms the mindset of the recruit and his relations with Jews and Christians to the point where he feels there elimination is the only solution as cited in Verse 51 of Sura Al-Maeda.

10. Tribal and Family Structure — the Muslim world is divided into two basic groups: Non-Arab Muslims and Arab Muslims. Non-Arab Muslims, Sunni and Shia, are called Ajames. Arab Muslims are divided into two main groups: Sunni Arabs and Shia Arabs. Last names, across all of these groups, could determine the Muslim's regional tribal and racial affiliation. For example, Al Harbe (last name) is from the northwestern area of Saudi Arabia, and is a Sunni Muslim Arab belonging to the largest Saudi Arabian tribes which has many subtribes like al-Ahrnade, etc.

a. Last names per region b. Tribal Affiliation c. Muslim Arabs - Non-Arab

11. Rules of Jihad — the basic premise of Jihad is to act in a military or paramilitary fashion against the enemies of Islam, foreign or domestic, and if dying in the process should happen, the combatant will ascend to heaven with all of his sins forgiven, and will receive many rewards in his eternal life (72 virgins, etc). To enter Jihad, an extremist Sunni will have to have been a member of the Muslim brotherhood, have been indoctrinated into extremist views and into the Jihad mindset, have achieved higher levels of understanding of the Koran, was able to secure his family if married for 2 years, if not married — will have to have the acceptance and encouragement of his parents if possible. Although this is not doctrinal, case precedence and lessons learned in Lebanon in the 1970's and 80's, the group as a whole has a responsibility to do everything they can to negotiate the release and rescue, or kill their captive brothers. Being captive for an extended period of time is like being in a netherworld, awaiting their ascendance into heaven. Based on this premise, Al-Qaeda leadership will have to deal with the Gitmo detainee situation.

(2 lir) C. An Overview Contrast Fundamentalist/Extremist Muslim -Vs - the mainstream Muslim

1. Lecture on how mainstream Muslims justify to themselves, through teachings in the Koran, how and why they totally disagree with the fundamentalist philosophy. Mainstream non-fundamentalist Muslims view non-Muslims as "the lost ones." They believe that every human being born on earth is born Muslim, but because of family orientation, country of origin, etc, may have not found Islam. Therefore, these people must be treated with care and understanding. They must be spoken to once in order to attempt to have them come back to the fold of Islam. Therefore they believe that non-Muslims do not convert to Islam, they simply find their way home either on their own or with the help of a Muslim. Mainstream Muslims believe that non-Muslims should be allowed to flock back to Islam according to their own free will without any coercion or forcible action. They cite Surah al-Fatah in which in essence it says,


"non-Muslims will flock back to the religion without being forced." Historically, the mainstream Muslims have always been the silent, weak majority within. the Islamic faith.

2. The fundamentalist/extremists/terrorists are also able to justify to themselves,

through certain scripture contained in the Koran, that their terror campaign against the west is justified and blessed. Fundamentalists/extremists/terrorists purposely misinterpret and/or alter the Koran to fit and serve their own political purposes. They heavily rely on the Sharia Law in Islam to justify their actions. UBL for example, tasked two Sharia scientists one of whom is at Gitmo, to assemble a Sharia Law library on computer disks for him to refer to prior to undertaking any task or making any decision. The major difference between a mainstream Muslim and an extremist Muslim is that a mainstream Muslim is vulnerable to the teachings of the extremist Muslim, but not typically vice versa. That is, a mainstream Muslim may be subverted to terroristic causes, but an extremist/terrorist Muslim will never be brought back to the mainstream side of the Islamic faith, NEVER.

a. Ideology these two opposite ideologies produced two opposite views of the Western world and of the relation of East and West. For example, the fundamentalists have viewed Islam since its inception as a continuous cultural, paramilitary, scientific and military struggle against the West. They cite the industrial revolution and the Renaissance as the turning point in which the West relentlessly infringed on Islam and the East. In contrast, the main stream Muslims view the West as the camp of the "lost ones," and its Jihad is to bring the "lost ones" back into the fold without coercion.

3. Mosque structure, a fundamentalist Sunni Muslim mosque is structured as such:

a. Clerics —the Sheik is the highest religious authority in the mosque. He leads the Friday prayer and delivers Friday's sermons.

b. the Imam. Not a constant position in the mosque. He is someone who must possess qualities: older, highly literate in the Koran, and very well versed. The Imam can change if someone arrives with greater qualities. He must have memorized the Koran.

c. Theologists — the religious experts but also must be well versed in the Sharia Law. In reality, they hold the most power within a fundamentalist mosque. Known as Olomaa.

d. Politicos — influential group within the mosque and the community. They are the public relation officers of the Muslim community and the congregation. These are the ones who would most likely be involved in the civic activities within the community and the ones who will deal with non-Muslims, including Law Enforcement They will try their best to shield the Imam, the Theologists, and the Sheik from LEOs. d. Financiers — contrary to meaning of the word, in most cases these men do not possess wealth of their own, their craft is knowing where to find it in the community (i.e. who to ask) or how to make it through various means (legal or not).


e. Paramilitary — every fundamentalist mosque will have a paramilitary element to it. In the West, this element has confined its activities to the identification and recruiting of both active Brotherhood for further indoctrination, or the dormant potential into the ranks of the Brotherhood. f. Non-Government OrganizationS (NGOs) in a fundamentalist mosque, NGOs are heavily used as cover and a vehicle for successful recruitment or paramilitary activities:

(1 hr) D. Terrorist Group and Cell Structure

1. To be in an Islamic Sunni terrorist organization, you must be a Muslim Brotherhood member. This is a precursor for all terrorists. The Muslim Brotherhood is an ideologically and theologically cohesive organization that seems to us to be loosely connected in terms of its command and control based upon Western standards. For the Brotherhood to place a figurehead is only for the edification of the West. Its command and control is the fundamentalist Koran with its strict guidelines. The organization simply implements these guidelines and that is why it acts in unison globally without an actual commander. The global Muslim Brotherhood can be compared to a large pool of recruits and potential recruits for NGOs to utilize in the fundamentalist Sunni mosques. The NGOs, like Jamaat E Tableegh, Jamaat Eghatha, Jamaat Dawa, and Lashkar E Taibe, with identifiable command and control and organizational structure tap into this pool and identifies, assesses, and recruits, trains, and develops terrorists for various Sunni Muslim terrorist organizations. Scouts and recruiters from these various terrorist organizations are part of these NGOs. NGOs are well-financed, well-organized, and well= equipp whole.

I

2. Once these recruits have been developed into an active member of a terrorist organization, they will be placed into a Cell according to various guidelineis like specialty:

country of origin, family and tribal affiliation, and various other elements.'

(.5 lu) H. Questions and Review

HI. SUMMARY

Over the course of the day we have discussed the origins and history of the Islamic faith. I then incorporated the information provided in that historical discussion and applied it to present day realities effecting all aspects of FBI investigations Based on extremist attitudes developed over hundreds of years within the Sunni/Wahabi sect of the Islamic faith, I have shown how the typical Al Queda soldier is absolutely dedicated to his tasking and mission. Nothing else matters. There are no other options. There can be no failures. That mission is to further the worldwide influence of Islam even if he must die in the effort. There is nothing, short of death prior to his final tasking, that will diffuse a true Islamic extremist. They will never sign a peace accord or disarmament treaty or ever enter into any type of cease-fire with their enemies. The USA is their only perceived enemy in the world today. The Islamic faith has defeated in their history just about all representatives of all governments and cultures in the world, with the exception of the USA.
