“No God But Allah. Al-Qaeda is the Enemy of Allah”

It was a big loss for Iraq. Indeed. I was shocked when I heard the news, but after all I realized that nothing is shocking these days in Iraq. Sheikh Abdul Sattar Abu Reesha’s martyrdom left me with hope though, not pessimism.

Abu Reesha’s tragic death is a motive. It is! He planted the seeds that started fighting Iraqis' killers. Today, these seeds are growing bigger and stronger in determining to triumph against these criminals. Abu Reesha’s death resulted in a big and new awakening. Yes, it is to get revenge from his killers and his country men slaughterers. His men carried his coffin to the cemetery walking for 10 km (6.2 Miles) and chanted “No God But Allah. Al-Qaeda is the Enemy of Allah,” reported Azzaman newspaper. Yes, al-Qaeda IS the enemy of Allah. They should be hanged in public to be a lesson to any terrorist thinking of beheading or shooting any Iraqi civilian. Yes, Anbar people, go ahead with your revenge. You will triumph. The road against the enemy is not easy. It’s full of mines, but these mines won’t finish us or the good people. The road to peace and victory is long, but not impossible. Rome wasn’t built in one day. Iraq won’t be peaceful again easily, but will be eventually by men like Abu Reesha and all those sacrificing to battle horror and terror.
