Body Found in Fallujah May be that of Margaret Hassan

The Prime Minister of Australia announced yesterday that the mutilated body of a woman found in Fallujah several days ago was probably that of Margaret Hassan. The PM later issued a retraction. DNA tests are now being run on the body.

Jihadis delivered the videotaped murder of Mrs. Hassan two days ago to al Jazeera television. On the video, Margaret Hassan is dressed in the orange jumpsuit of a prisoner at Abu Ghraib and shot in the back of the head. The body found in Fallujah was mutilated beyond recognition, but news reports indicate the woman had her throat slit. The corpse was also that of a blonde woman. Mrs. Hassan was a brunette.

If this is Mrs. Hassan's body, then either earlier reports were wrong or the terrorists dyed her hair to escape detection while transporting her from Southern Iraq northward to Fallujah. It is also possible that the word 'blonde' was used by an Iraqi to indicate a hair color lighter than the darker brunette more commonly found among Arabs. The good people of Fallujah had chopped off the arms and legs of the corpse. The fact that the throat had been slit might indicate that they were trying to behead the corpse as a final act of humiliation.

1 It is interesting to me that the video of the Marine shooting the "unarmed" Iraqi is being shown over and over again on Al Jazeera, yet they will not show Hassan's murder. Fucking hypocritical savages.

2 Hasn't Al-Jazeera shown enough murders? Do you really need to see another? I mean, you've complained so many times about how Al-Jazeera is a propoganda tool because they continue to show these gruesome murders - now you complain that they're not. Sounds to me like you're the one who's the hypocritical savage.

3 Venom, because I stated that Al Jazeera wasn't showing Hassan's video did not infer that I WANTED to! What was meant is that typical propaganda shit that this media throws out...depicting Americans as savages, while totally dismissing the insurgents' brand of depravity. Please think before you come to any conclusions.

4 Oh, come on. ANY kind of media out there could be considered propoganda by someone who happens to have an opinion. Is Fox News propoganda because Democrats out there don't like what they have to say? You don't like Al-Jazeera, so it's propoganda. A family in Oman who wants to learn about what's going on in the Middle East uses it for news. The fact that you focus on ONE aspect of their programming while ignoring the fact that it's a Middle East news organization akin to CNN doesn't necessarily make the entire network "propoganda." In fact, I'll bet that you haven't ever watched a single minute of Al-Jazeera, and that your only knowledge of the network is from news articles that mention they were handed another videotape. So, how can you possibly have an opinion as to whether or not it's propoganda or not? It's a popular network, so of course they're going to get contacted by criminals who want their message circulated. "Please think before you come to any conclusions." Hahahaha...ahhh, I really did laugh out loud at that one. Talk about people in glass houses who shouldn't throw stones!

5 LAURA: Haven't you learned by now that this venom character is going to take the opposite of anything pro America/pro Bush you say. If you say shit tastes bad he will argue the point. Forget him.

6 Rooster: I must have a saying stamped on my forehead that reads: "all assholes please report to me" You're right, fuck it.

7 MAY ALLAH BLESS THE MIDDLE EAST WITH PEACE! BEWARE OF EDICTS AND FATWA. I warn you don't question or add to the Quran, which is the infallible Word of Allah By Dr. Jack E. Shepard I warn the militant insurgents and extremists, kidnappers, hard-core criminals, disgruntled, frustrated and overzealous youth from many Arab Countries now fight and killing now mostly innocent Iraqi men, women, and children, you do not fear Allah, if you continue to obey the evil publishing of fatwa (edicts) by religious leaders and scholars. No devout Muslim would willfully attempt to tamper with the word of Allah. These edicts are blaspheme against Allah and Prophet Muhammad (May Allah raise his rank and grant him peace), you defy the divine assertions that the Quran is complete, perfect, fully detailed, and shall be the only source of religious guidance (6:19, 38, 114 & 45:6-7).Those who do not uphold the Quran, and follow fatwa (edicts) which are false doctrines based on superstition, ignorance, and indefensible nonsensical traditions as the prophet Muhammad (May Allah raise his rank and grant him peace), stated in very strong words, against issuing any religious teachings besides the Quran (69:38-4 . Fatwa were never authorized by Allah or the Prophet Muhammad (May Allah raise his rank and grant him Peace), edicts contradict themselves and can not be added to the Quran, the infallible Word of God. Presently many of the scholars in Iraq are engaging in major acts of disbelief, which takes them out of the fold of Islam in board daylight and in front of all the people, we find fatwa (edicts) from some religious organizations. Believing in Allah means to believe Him and accept His teaching and His word. Choosing the scholars or the dictionary over Allah reflects a disbelief in Allah and His word (Quran). "They have set up their religious leaders and scholars as lords; instead of Allah....." 9:31 “So after the truth (Quran), what else can there be, save error?” (Quran 10:32) It is obligatory upon the spiritual leaders and scholars of Iraq if they do not exert themselves in ending this evil of adding to the Quran by publishing fatwa (edicts) they do not fear Allah. Fatwa were never authorized by Allah or the Prophet Muhammad ( May Allah raise his rank and grant him peace), they contradict themselves and contradict the Quran. Believing in Allah means to believe Him and accept His teaching and His word. We each are living out Allah's plan; Allah knew each of us before we were born. What ever we do we can not hide it from Allah. As Mohammad once said this one, by his actions was made for Paradise and this one, by his actions was made for the fire of Hell. The Jihad Organizations lie to the insurgents and extremists, kidnappers, hard-core criminals, disgruntled, frustrated and overzealous youth from many Arab Countries by urging them to entering into blind jihads. These Organizations are led by these misguided individuals that only increase the tribulations of the entire Muslim community by not telling to young insurgents that suicide bombings according to the Quran guarantees punishment “in the fire of hell, wherein they shall dwell forever.” We must ask our selves why in Iraq we do not see the scholars or religious leaders of these Jihad Organizations using themselves as suicide bombers? Because they know“ indeed, whoever (intentionally) kills himself, then certainly he will be punished in the fire of Hell, wherein he shall dwell forever. Suicide bombing by young uninformed Muslim youths have been carried out almost routinely as a mean of revenge in the Iraqi conflict. These young uniformed Muslim youth blindly obey older religious leaders or scholars who take advantage of them because they are so easily convinced to avenge their oppression, occupation and loss of freedom that they have been experiencing all their life to obeying these fatwa (edicts) “which are blaspheme against Allah” and become suicide bombers. These suicide bombers to not live to see and witness the families members they have destroyed, the killing of someone's loved ones or neighbors. The innocent bystanders who die or are tortured throughout their life, having to live and suffer without legs, arms or their sight without their loved ones or neighbors. These suicide bombers created an intolerable situation, no permission can be found in Islam to avenge by suicide bombing or by targeting the innocent civilians. These young desperate Muslim youth have been taught what is NOT in the Quran, and what was never promised by Allah in the Holy book, by intentionally) killing themselves, they certainly will be punished in the fire of Hell, wherein where they shall dwell forever and ever. I pray my Muslim brothers in Iraq will remember these things before Allah announces his verdict on you, presently those who do not fear Allah are blocking the ability of ordinary Iraqi's to take control of their own country. By continue to inflict misery and harm on their fellow Muslims brothers in Iraq they are guaranteeing that the American Coalition will have to stay in Iraq for years. These fatwa (edicts) are presently causing limitless grief and sadness for our Muslim brothers in Iraq. These militant insurgents and extremists, kidnappers, hard-core criminals, disgruntled, frustrated and overzealous youth from many Arab Countries that blindly obey these fatwa (edicts) have created a monstrous and inhumane situation unnecessarily in Iraq by killing and harming mostly their fellow Muslim Brothers. Already 1,000's of Iraqi men, women and children have been already killing by exploding cars or bombs or in the cross fire of shooting , mortar or grenade attacks in streets crowded with Iraqi Civilians. Unfortunately most of the men, women and children who you are hurt and killed most often have nothing to do with anything but are just ordinary Iraqi trying to live, praying for their nightmare to end. Those that follow these fatwa (edicts) how can you call your actions acts of resistance, all your doing is maximizing the suffering of your Muslim brothers in Iraq. In the name of Allah we must immediately eliminate this source of disunity and strife. These religious leaders and scholars who publish fatwa (edicts) are not lords; instead of Allah....." "They have set up themselves as lords; instead of Allah....." 9:31 Our faith is anchored in two fundamental conceptions: imàn (expression of faith) and ihsàn (right-doing) both are absolutely necessary for the establishment of one's faith as a Muslim. Presently you have to understand your actions are not ihsàn; right-doing for the Iraqi men, women and children that you are killing and maiming by exploding cars and bombs in the streets or shooting mortar or grenade launchers into the crowded streets. Unfortunately the militant insurgents and extremists, kidnappers, hard-core criminals, disgruntled, frustrated and overzealous youth from many Arab Countries who are by following these fatwa (edicts) and following a blind Jihad in Iraq are only playing into the hand s of the American Coalition by guaranteeing them a reason to remain in Iraq for years and years. By following these fatwa (edicts) mostly you are hurting and killing our Muslim brothers ordinary Iraqi men, women and children just trying to live. How can you call your actions acts of resistance, all your doing is maximizing the suffering of the Iraqi people and playing into the hands of the American coalition by giving them the excuse to remain in Iraqi for years. l still hope and pray for an immediate peaceful settlement; as King Abdullah II of Jordan said in an interview, Sept. 29, 2004, "that if the elections in Iraq were held today the Extremists would win. Today in Iraq the best organized factions are the extremists. The results of the election will reflect this advantage for the extremists. I, myself pray that Allah blesses Iraq and the Middle East with Peace. The moment the elections are finished the Americans will have to begin going home. The most American soldiers are also believers in Allah. Infidels by definition are non believers in Allah; Idol worshipers. They like you are created by Allah with Wives, children and families and would be happier than you to soon be able to return home to their families and loved ones. We have to remember if we break Allah's law, by obeying false lord's fatwa (edicts) we move ourselves away from His mercy and lose His support. MY brothers in Iraq you have forgotten that Allah will send upon you humiliation and will not remove it from you until you return to (practicing) our religion (correctly),” Only when we stop killing our brothers and exploding cars in the streets, the kidnapping and murder of people in a manner which contradicts the teachings of Mohammad and was never authorized by Allah which reflects a disbelief in Allah and his word (Quran). These people have to remember there is nothing holy about a war in Islam (submission). If we call a truce and even move up the date of the January elections, the sooner the American Coalition force will have to leave Iraqi soil, ending their occupation and give the Iraqi people the control of their destiny. Also the present dramatic increase in violence in Iraq has harmed our Palestinian brothers by giving the Genocide Policies of Sharon a perfect cover where he has killed hundreds of our defenseless Palestinian Brothers in the last weeks. Once our situation in Iraqi has stabilized, Sharon Policies of Palestinian Genocide will get the international attention urgently needed, to force him to end his slaughter of hundreds of innocence Palestinians men, women and children immediately. We must trust in Allah and immediately end the present unholy situation in Iraqi of Muslims brothers fighting and killing Muslim brother. This can be done only by immediate calling a ceasefire in the name of Allah. So we can rush toward elections; that is the only and fastest way to end the present occupation of Iraq, and return Iraqi to the Iraqi People. May Allah Bless the Middle East with Peace Dr. Jack E.

"A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy. "It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves." "One wolf is evil and ugly: He is anger, envy, war, greed, self-pity, sorrow, regret, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, selfishness and arrogance." "The other wolf is beautiful and good: He is friendly, joyful, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, justice, fairness, empathy, generosity, true, compassion, gratitude, and deep VISION." "This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other human as well." The grandson paused in deep reflection because of what his grandfather had just said. Then he finally cried out; "Oyee! Grandfather, which wolf will win?"

People for Peace Group is an Interfaith Group of mult-national individuals many active and retired Government, United Nations Employees AND PEOPLE of FAITH IN OUR LORD AND HIS WORD ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Please also visit http://www.flickr.com/photos/dr_jack_shepard/ where I have begun posting photos concerning my Global Peace Efforts and travels in the Middle East for Peace ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________My personal web site- www.shepardusgov.com, is presently under construction, it still includes my work trying to the End "the past" Iraqi Sanctions, click on real Victims to see photos of my visits to Baghdad's Children's Hospital in 2001.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I am testimony to the over 1,490,000 Iraqi men, women and children that Saddam Hussein would not purchase Medicine or Medical equipment for with his Billions of Dollars. Saddam Hussein chose to just watch million of poor IraqiÂ’s die without helping them or caring for them. Saddam Hussein chose only to use them as victims to blame on the Iraqi Sanctions. Presently I am working to ending the present Iraqi War be teaching through our faith in God by work together is the only way to bring peace to the Middle East. My present editorial campaign is to inform the world and especially the militant insurgents and extremists in Iraq that these edicts or fatwa published by spiritual leaders or religious scholars are false doctrines. The Prophet Muhammad taught that the Koran was the infallible Word of God and the Koran is complete and edicts can not be added to the Koran. The Prophet taught that choosing the scholars or the dictionary over Allah reflects a disbelief in Allah and His word (Koran) " They have set up their religious leaders and scholars as lords; instead of Allah.."9:31 " So after the truth (Koran ), what else can thee be, save error?" Koran 10:32 These edicts are blaspheme against God and the Prophet Muhammad taught to follow these edicts or fatwa is evil. If a kidnapper uses these edicts of fatwa for example cut the head off a hostage aid worker; the Holy Koran, guarantees punishment, "In the fires of Hell, wherein they shall dwell forever." Just as important suicide bombers I am warning that the Koran taught any person who intentionally kills themselves, "they certainly will be punished in the fire of Hell, wherein they shall dwell forever and ever." __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________May God Bless the Middle East WITH PEACE and please join us in keeping Mrs. "Mama Margaret" Hassan's work alive; she was and we are "Peacemakers in a time of seemingly endless wars. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dr. Jack Shepard, founder of People for Peace Group
