Idiot comment by "experts" who don't know Islam...nothing at all un-Islamic
about Jihad...without Islam, in fact, jihad would not exist.

How terror outfits pick soldiers for jihad
Vicky Nanjappa in Bengaluru | December 23, 2008 | 16:16 IST
It is often believed that terror outfits prefer youth with a religious bent
of mind to take up the path of jihad. However, a 50-page recruitment manual
-- Art of Recruitment: How to become a complete jihadi -- used by the
Lashkar-e-Tayiba and other terror outfits states otherwise.
According to the manual, the recruitment process is covered in three phases.
The most important part of the recruitment process involves recruiting
non-religious youth as it is easy to convince them into taking up the path
of jihad. Terror outfits feel such youth do not have any commitment to
theory or ideology.
Experts point out that individuals, who know Islam well, would not subscribe
to the theories preached by a terror outfit; for them, terror outfits have
redefined the meaning of jihad.
Recruiters also prefer youth, who have recently committed themselves to
religion. It is apparently easy to convince Islamic converts to Salafism (a
group of extremist Sunnis who believe they are the only correct interpreters
of the Quran) from other denominations of Islam. Recruiters feel such
individuals would not know much about the realities of the religion and more
willing to adhere to the Salafi jihad movement.
The manual lays special emphasis on the fact that the handler, who is in
charge of recruitment, ought to be in direct contact with the individual
willing to join the movement. He has to meet with him constantly and work
closely with him so that he is able to identify the frustrations and
weaknesses of the candidate.
The manual stresses on recruiting college and school students. However,
there is a strict word of advice to avoid misers, disloyal youth and loud
mouths.
It lists three points on how the handler is to ensure that the youth is
taken into the jihadi fold. The responsibilities of the handler include:
* He must ensure that the candidate takes up the religious path as has
been preached to him.
* He should ensure that the candidate becomes pious. Care should also
be taken care of the fact that the candidate has no bias towards any
political group.
* He should remain in close contact with the candidate. He is expected
to go to the mosque with him and meet him for lunch every day during the
three-week recruitment process. While at lunch he is expected to discuss
with him Islamic affairs and also about the path of jihad. The brainwashing
process commences at this time.
* He is also required to keep a constant tab on the movements of the
candidate. The handler is also supposed to know who the candidate meets.
The third and the final phase of the recruitment is the most crucial. This
is the phase when the actual brainwashing process commences. The handler
lays a lot of emphasis on notions like hell and heaven. The candidate is
repeatedly told that only the path of jihad will get him into heaven. He is
also told that if the path of jihad is taken, his face will glow after his
death apart from getting heavenly virgins after his death.
