Allah's Helpers

2/3/2007

A group calling itself Ansar Allah (Allah's Helpers) claimed credit for the mass murder of one hundred Jews in Buenos Aires, Argentina on July 18th, 1994. Their massive 350-pound fuel oil and nitrate bomb was remarkably similar to the ones which blasted the World Trade Center and Oklahoma City Federal Building. After concocting the explosive mixture of fertilizer and crude, Allah's Helpers placed it in a van, which they parked at the front door of a building housing Jewish organizations. One side of the vehicle was specially reinforced with steel plates to direct the blast towards the community center. It was detonated by a suicide bomber - something that is difficult for Muslims to accomplish in non-Islamic cultures.

Ansar Allah was a splinter of Allah's Party, known as Hizballah. The terrorist organization was composed of Shia Lebanese and Iranian fundamentalists. They received their funding, training, and arms from the Shiite religious regime in Tehran, Iran, which also provided logistical support. The attack which made them infamous was orchestrated out of the Iranian Embassy in Buenos Aires. An Argentine judge even issued arrest warrants for four Iranian employees of the Embassy based upon their involvement in this crime. But in that Iran and Argentina are both OPEC nations, and both are anti-Semitic, no one was actually convicted.

The U.S. State Department said that Ansar Allah was a "clandestine subgroup of Hizballah," in its commentary on the Argentina and Panama attacks. Names, however, are telling. Americans have been duped into believing that Allah is the Arabic word for "God" so as to obfuscate Islam's culpability. But if that were true, Allah cannot be God, because the Qur'an says that illah is the Arabic word for god, and that Allah is one of the Islamic god's names. His other name is Ar-Rahman, which means "merciful." It is a brilliant disguise for Satan, who is disingenuous but not stupid. By using either of these names in their names, terrorists confirm that they are Muslims killing on behalf of their god.

The Ansar moniker is also telling. The Ansar were the first Muslim converts in Yathrib, today's Medina. These Ansar, or "Helpers," were second-class citizens in the seventh century Muslim community, because Muhammad's clan was from Mecca. The Ansar, however, are the sole reason Islam exists today. The religion which had failed in Mecca was reborn in Medina because the Ansar "pledged to wage war against all mankind" on behalf of Muhammad. The Ansar were terrorists, following Muhammad on 75 terrorist raids during the first ten years of the Islamic Era. By using this term, the Islamic terrorists who murdered one hundred Jews in Argentina confessed that they knew their Hadith and that they were following Muhammad's example.

Allah's Helpers went on siesta for almost nine years following these lethal and savage anti-Semitic South American assaults. But then, Ansar Allah claimed credit for bombing the Lebanese media station Future TV. It was regarded as being supportive of the secular Prime Minister Rafik Hariri - which Hizballah opposed. Muslims despise free speech and choice as much as they hate Christians and Jews. The Lebanese attack provided further evidence of the relationship between Ansar Allah and Hizballah.

But time marches on and Muslims behave like Muslims. The Ansar Allah division of Hizballah came under the command of Sobhi Tufaili, the former Secretary General of Allah's Party. That meant that things were no longer cozy between parent and splinter. Sobhi Tufaili ran afoul of Hizballah's current Secretary General, the Islamic cleric and terrorist Hassan Nasrallah. Their rift was related to funding and control between Hizballah's two patrons, Iran and Syria.

In a move designed to fool fools, Syria has officially backed Sobhi Rufaili as a means of complying with U.S. pressure to restrain Hizballah's influence. But since Nasrallah's headquarters is in Damascus, positioning the ousted Tufaili (who is hiding in Lebanon) to challenge Nasrallah, is a flight of fancy. Iran has put its OPEC crude squarely in Nasrallah's court, and they will continue to resist all international pressure to reign in Allah's Party. Further, without oil, Syria is a dependant, and thus satellite state of Iran. And Nasrallah is arguably the most revered Muslim in the world.

After Sobhi Tufaili was booted out of power by Hassan Nasrallah, and expelled from Hizballah in 1998, he used Allah's Helpers to launch armed raids against Hizballah positions in the Bekaa Valley. But it was like a swarm of fleas trying to bring down a heard of camels.

Allah's Party isn't all about fighting, funding, and politics. It's religious too. Hassan Nasrallah, who was born in the Bourj Hammoud neighborhood of East Beirut in 1960, sojourned to Najaf, Iraq to study Islam under the supervision of Abbas al-Musawi. Musawi, like Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman (the blind Qur'an scholar responsible for the Islamic Group and the first bombing of the World Trade Center), was both an Islamic theologian and terrorist. Professor Abbas al-Musawi left his seminary to become Secretary-General of Hizballah.

Under Musawi's tutelage, Nasrallah formulated his worldview. Like all good Muslims, it included a fervent anti-Semitism and belief that the state of Israel should be eliminated from the face of the earth. After all, the Qur'an says that Jews are apes and swine.

In 1978, Nasrallah returned to Lebanon. He became an Islamic teacher at the religious institute established by Musawi in Baalbak. Hassan Nasrallah's charisma and impassioned religious oratory appealed to many young Shiites. As such, the Islamic scholar turned terrorist gained an impressive body of followers among those who react, but seldom think.

During the Lebanese Civil War, Nasrallah joined the Shia AMAL militia and terrorist group. But in 1982, after Iran sent its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps into Lebanon's Bekaa Valley to attack Israel. Nasrallah and his jihadist associates left AMAL, forming Allah's Party known today as Hizballah. He did so with Iranian funding, arms, government support, and military training.

Completely indoctrinated in Salafi Islam, it should be no surprise that Hassan Nasrallah's career as a mujahideen commander was the stuff of legend. Brutal and hateful, he used his impeccable religious credentials to quickly rise through its ranks of the Islamic terrorist organization.

However, in 1987, during a lull in the Lebanese, Syrian, Iranian, Israeli, Sunni, Shia, Phalange, AMAL, PLO, HAMAS, Hizballah Civil War, Hassan Nasrallah traveled to Iran and resumed his theological studies. He attended the famed Shia seminary in Qom. Then in 1989, when sectarian infighting between Lebanese Sunni and Shia Muslims intensified, Nasrallah interrupted his religious studies to lead Hizballah's forces in battle. By 1989, the Qur'an scholar had become head of the Central Military Commander of Allah's Party. He had also earned a seat on its Jihad Council.

After the Islamic cleric and terrorist Abbas al-Musawi was killed by Israeli forces in 1992, Hassan Nasrallah took advantage of internal strife within Hizballah to position himself as the favored child of the Ayatollah Khomeini. With the religious, financial, and military backing of the Ayatollah, Nasrallah became Secretary - General of Allah's Party.

In 2000, Hassan Nasrallah used the same ploy that had worked for Yasser Arafat. While he was out of the country, he claimed victory when Israel unilaterally withdrew its forces from southern Lebanon. But since Israel's defensive move into Lebanon had never been the reason behind Hizballah's rage, Nasrallah simply moved the battlefield. He started training and funding Palestinian Muslims to terrorize Israel during the al-Aqsa Intifada. The blood of thousands of Jews stains his soul.

If Hassan Nasrallah was younger, he would be a perfect candidate for Gog, the religious, political, and military leader who in 2027 will convince as many as 200 million Islamic jihadists from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Turkey, the Caucasus region, Egypt, Libya, and the Sudan to unite and attack Israel during the Magog War. I say this because Nasrallah's most noteworthy achievement has been his transformation of Allah's Party from a standard Islamic terrorist group into a massive fighting force equipped with the best weapons money can buy.

During this time, the Islamic scholar has become the most influential religious, social, political, and military personality in Lebanon and Syria, and perhaps in Iran and Iraq as well. Nasrallah's status reached a new high during Hizballah's 34-day military engagement against Israel in the summer of 2006 - a conflict in which he artfully blended terror and militia tactics, deception and religion, to win the propaganda war. As a result of his media manipulation, religious and terrorist credentials, Nasrallah has become one of the most revered figures in the Islamic world.
