Hmmm perhaps I am mistaken but you said this about yourself?

As a former mujahed who went to Iraq for Jihad in 2003 let me tell my story:
I wanted to go to Iraq from the beginning of the invasion but I was waiting for a Fatwa from imam or a scholar and to find a way to go there. One day and in Friday Slat and Khutba the imam said ‘There is fatwa that legitimises Jihad in Iraq. The situation there is a very bad and Iraqis Mujahidin really want your help.’ So I and many who attended the Khutbah determined to go to Iraq and the imam sent with us a guide to help us to go to Baghdad. The way to go there was very difficult but what made it easy for us was remembering the difficult situation for our brothers and sisters in Iraq.


After all those difficulties we arrived Bagdad and we thought we would find all Iraqis committed to jihad and we would join them. But what we found there were many men walking on streets wearing pyjamas, so we said to ourselves ‘Were are the Mujahidin?’ The Mujahidin were very few and there were two groups, one of them was the Bathist group and the other group was the Sunnis. So we wanted to join the Sunnis but we did not know how. We had to ask someone to guide us to them, first we asked an old man and he gave us an advice by saying “Leave this country because the situation is too complicated and no one will trust you.” But we did not give up so we went to another area in Baghdad and all that time Iraqis looked at us suspiciously because we because they knew we were non-Iraqis.


We met an Iraqi young man and we wanted to ask him how we could join mujahidin because he sounded a very enthusiastic mujahid. He welcomed us and asked us to follow him. He took us and a group of people who we late found out they were Shiites. That group of Shiites held us and we understood later they wanted to sell us to the Americans for $100 each. They held us for one day and in the second day we found out they had sold us for $300 each to an Iraqi businessman because he paid more. We found out that the Iraqi businessman bought us because he wanted to help us for the sake of Allah. When we were freed, the Iraqi businessman advised us to leave Iraq and to save our skin. We helped us get out of Baghdad and took us to the west of Iraq, it was the same we had passed by when we first came to Baghdad.


That is my story of going for jihad in Iraq. I want to classify the population in Iraq as follows:

There are the Shiites who are against jihad in Iraq.
There are Kurds who are the same.
There some Sunnis who are with the awakening councils.
There are the Iraqi Sunni mujahidin who are divided and fighting each other like Islamic Army and the pro-Qaeda like what is so called the Islamic State in Iraq.


If anyone wants to go for jihad, he should decide which group he wants to join and what he is going to do, is he going to fight the Murtads (apostates) or to fight the occupiers? If one says he is going to fight the Murtads, he should first make sure that the are Murtads by getting back to Sharia and the ulama of our ummah.


I would like to suggest that those who advise others to go for jihad in Iraq go for jihad in Iraq before asking others to get involved in fighting for what they think a jihad.

Yet a simple cartoon you cannot translate?

its easy, the man with white beard says tree times : shut yer mouth

and the names on the paper op the sheikhs are the ones that keep their mouth quiet with mainly egypt saudi

[Woes Over]

Just to elaborate a little on the points already made and correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it's Dr. Ayman ad-Dhawahiri threatening the four individuals already mentioned, to be 'silent!'. They're gagged and tied up which would suggest the situation is unwillingly forced upon them and judging from the way the Dr. is portrayed as crazed, the four individuals are the victims in all of this. 'The Wise one of Ummah?' is as mentioned used sarcastically and rhetorically for the cartoonist is trying to get us questioning: are these the actions of the wise?

Hmm...

Its obvious the Windows dude had an agenda in posting this cartoon.. its fits to what he says in all his other posts which are all about attacking mujahideen and jihad feesabilillah

[strict2thesunna]

I dont understand why is dhawahiri telling them to be quiet?
