Sayyed Imam Al-Sharif - Criticism of Jihad Movement

Criticism of Jihad Movement

On February 28, 2004 Al-Sharif was transferred to Egypt. He was eventually transferred to the Scorpion, a facility inside Tora Prison where major political figures were held. There, Al-Sharif/Fadl is serving a life sentence, although according to his son his "cell" is a private room with a bath and a small kitchen, refrigerator, and a television.

During his imprisonment in Egypt he wrote Wathiqat Tarshid Al-'Aml Al-Jihadi fi Misr w'Al-'Alam ("Document of Right Guidance for Jihad Activity in Egypt and the World", also transliterated as "Rationalizing Jihad in Egypt and the World"). In it he proclaimed “We are prohibited from committing aggression, even if the enemies of Islam do that”

Famous quotes containing the words criticism and/or movement:

    ...I wasn’t at all prepared for the avalanche of criticism that overwhelmed me. You would have thought I had murdered someone, and perhaps I had, but only to give her successor a chance to live. It was a very sad business indeed to be made to feel that my success depended solely, or at least in large part, on a head of hair.
    Mary Pickford (1893–1979)

    I invented the colors of the vowels!—A black, E white, I red, O blue, U green—I made rules for the form and movement of each consonant, and, and with instinctive rhythms, I flattered myself that I had created a poetic language accessible, some day, to all the senses.
    Arthur Rimbaud (1854–1891)
