IISCA: "Manual to Jihad"... a document from a westerner on how to train for Jihad.

We need to underline here , that this document is uploaded only for analysis purposes and not as a guide. Which is why you will find many links and other sensitive data as censored. 

There are many people who wonder how Jihadist are recruited in the West and how this is done. Radicalization is a major issue and documents like this (which was brought to us as an intelligence finding over an unofficial source) are just a part.

We will place only parts of the document which would be analyzed part-by-part. 

Document was a publication by "Azzam Publications", which was closed down by US authorities right after 9-11 on some serious legal accusations/relations to terrorism activities.

Military Training is an Islamic Obligation not an Option.
According to the verse above ("And prepare against them all you can of
power..."), military training is an obligation in Islam upon every sane, male,
mature Muslim, whether rich or poor, whether studying or working and whether
living in a Muslim or non-Muslim country. The Prophet (SAWS) explained the
meaning of the term 'power' in the above verse during a Friday Sermon by
mentioning that power was specifically shooting.
The verse mentions 'what you can...', meaning that the Muslims must prepare to
the utmost of their ability and circumstances.
'Steeds of war' refer to the horses that were prepared for battle. In this day
and age, the scholars of Islam have explained this term to mean all forms of
modern weaponry such as infantry weapons, tanks, artillery, aircraft, etc.
The above verse is a clear evidence that military training of all sorts is an
Islamic obligation, not something optional. Furthermore, the obligation is
according to one's ability, in that the Muslims must use every means at their
disposal to undertake military and physical training for Jihad.
In Surah Taubah of the Quran, Allah answers those hypocrites who made feeble
excuses to the Messenger of Allah (SAWS) so that they would not have to
participate in the Battle of Tabuk. The hypocrites came to the Prophet (SAWS)
and gave their excuses with the impression that they really wanted to take part
in the battle, but difficult circumstances outside their control were preventing
them from doing so. Allah's response was:
"And if they had really intended to march forth, certainly they would have made
some preparation for it; but Allah hated them being sent forth, so He made them
lag behind, and it was said to them, 'Sit you among those who sit at home
(women, children, elderly, etc.)'" [Quran 9:46]
These hypocrites had not intended to participate in Jihad from the outset and
their lack of preparations was the evidence for this. Had they really wanted to
take part in the Jihad, they would have prepared themselves and tried their
utmost to join the battle, like the three companions who approached the
Messenger (SAWS) before the Battle of Tabuk, requesting horses or mules so they
could join the Battle. When the Prophet (SAWS) informed them that he could not
provide them with mounts, they turned back with their eyes full of tears that
they could not join the battle:
"Nor is there blame on those who came to you to be provided with mounts, when
you said, 'I can find no mounts for you,' they turned back, while their eyes
were overflowing with tears of grief that they could not find anything to spend
for Jihad." [Quran 9:92]
Therefore, those Muslims unable to participate in Jihad at this present time
whatever the reason have no excuse before Allah for not training for Jihad.
The Messenger of Allah (SAWS) said: "Whoever dies without having fought in
battle, nor having the sincere wish in his heart to fight in battle, dies on a
branch of hypocrisy." [Sahih Al-Bukhari]
The one sincere to fight in battle is the one who makes suitable preparations
for battle. A Muslim that spends a life empty of any physical or military
training for Jihad, let alone Jihad itself, should fear dying on a branch of
hypocrisy according to the above hadith. True Iman (faith) is manifested in
actions and if someone truly wishes to fight Jihad, he will prepare himself in
all possible ways.


Training is an Islamic obligation so a Muslim must undertake it for the correct
reason otherwise he will neither be blessed nor rewarded by Allah for all his
efforts. The correct reason to train is to train for Jihad which is undertaken
to please Allah alone. Therefore the Muslim must not publicly display to the
people what he is doing, nor must he show off during his training, nor seek fame
or reputation in the eyes of human beings during his training. If he wishes to
be rewarded by Allah and blessed and helped in his training, all his training
must be done to obtain the Pleasure of Allah alone.

In practical terms, this would mean avoiding training in the company of people
(e.g. women) who might be impressed by the one training, flouting muscles etc.
This also means to avoid publicly announcing to everyone that one is going for
training or dropping subtle hints such as leaving clothes and equipment in view
of the people. The beloved Companions of the Prophet (SAWS) used to hide their
good deeds more than they used to hide their sins, for fear of their intention
being corrupted. Train only to please Allah and He will help you, reward you and
bless you, for there is no benefit in gaining the pleasure of human beings.

Policies and religious interpretations in order to serve Jihad as a way of radicalization and how to avoid being noticed for a Jihadist. This is a great representation of how "terrorism staircase" model works. We need to understand here that this is the basis/foundation of how radical/terrorists of Islamic terrorism groups think. Different ethical values, different beliefs, different ways of viewing the world. They are not crazy, they do not share the same Western morality.

As for remain hidden in plain sight, the point of not associating with women (presented as weak in mind, easily impressed) and the suggestion to cover "tracks" after training, is a rule that creates a policy for those who are recruited.

" Military Training
Although sometimes it is difficult to obtain comprehensive military training in
one's home country, it is very easy to do plenty of background reading using
freely-available books and CDs, before one actually goes abroad.
 --- censored by IISCA --
........................
One source of availability is http://www.--censored by IISCA --.com/ or by searching for the term 'US --- censored by IISCA--' or just 'US --- censored by IISCA --'. Even though these documents contain information specific to US Weapons, they still contain a large amount of useful information applicable in all circumstances. It is useful
to get a full set of CDs for your mosque or Islamic society that everyone can use."

What is so visible here is the ability of Jihadist to use existing open resources on web and train to counter attacks against specific weaponry and tactics. Also how they are able to share within their Mosque intelligence which would not be easy to be tracked by authorities.

" We would also like to inform Muslims in the UK that if
anyone, Muslim or non-Muslims, approaches you offering training of this type in
the UK, it is a trap, you should stay away from that person and warn other
people against that person because he might be an undercover agent. British
National Intelligence MI5 does employ a method were ---censored by IISCA-- 
The Muslims are fooled by them because they --- censored by IISCA --One can obtain
almost any type of military training in some countries of the World, legally, so
there is no need to risk going to prison for years just for learning how to use
a single firearm illegally."

This is where there is a counter-intelligence effort and a method of MI5 in UK (we censored it out, due to obvious reasons) to counter act against monitoring and surveillance. 

There are even more references on the document about the "how's" and "what's" on becoming a trained fighting Jihadist terrorist which we will not place here again for obvious reasons. However we need to mention why we published a censored part of this document here.

1. This document presents how a radicalization/recruitment works.
2. This is to present that despite authorities effort to prevent and forbid manuals like this , to circulate it was possible to get one , even though publisher was arrested and imprisoned 13 years ago.
3. How hard is for authorities to track what is going on regarding intel sharing and fighting training.
4. How internet and media are a mean that makes their life easier. This is not the only document out there.


Again, we need to underline here that IISCA , we do not promote radicalization and that is why we set only a censored, fragmented, part of the document , in order for all people to understand how Jihad terrorism works and what to look out for ,especially when they notice it on a computer/device of their child or friend. 

If you do .. please notify local authorities and under no circumstances try to discuss it with him/her. Even if it is your child , please take under consideration that he/she might possess knowledge that will help save lives and such discussion might lead him/her to hide data and become defensive.
