The morale of the story is simply this. We caution Muslims who garner their news from mainstream sources. While some aspects of their reports may be true, the propaganda is often very subtle. For instance, the Muslims in Iraq who are waging a legitimate resistance against US occupation are transformed by the media into "terrorists" through the clever manipulation of facts, aimed at drawing sympathy for US forces and disqualifying legitimate armed resistance against its subjugators.

This fact could not be more explicit than in the al-Zarqawi myth. During the past months, we have published dozens of direct reports from resistance fighters on the ground in Iraq and not once have we received a report containing any reference whatsoever to al-Zarqawi. Further, Fallujah resistance fighters have even taken to the airwaves to say they do not know of this individual.
The Al-Zarqawi myth continues to be propagated by the US military and fueled by a dutiful mainstream media while every action of blatant aggression against Iraqis who have a legitimate right to defend their land and property from American pillage is blamed on this non existent "terrorist" al-Zarqawi. As was reported at the time, al-Zarqawi was killed in a bombing raid in 2002.

The American propaganda machine is wide spread and effective. Its sole purpose is to peddle hate against Muslims to justify the theft of our lands and resources. Be cautious of what you read and don't be fooled by this slight of hand.
