Al-Zarqawi models himself after Mohammed
Iraqi insurgent Abu Musab al-Zarqawi mimics the religious life and mannerisms of Mohammed, allegedly to project a moderate, appealing image, Time reported.

Many Western officials say Zarqawi wants to be seen as a deeply spiritual Muslim whose actions are driven by a desire to save Islam from attacks from external and internal enemies, Time reported.

Those who have seen Zarqawi in the past year say he constantly uses the written histories of the Mohammed's life, known collectively as the Hadith, to copy the way the founder of Islam spoke, sat, walked, ate and slept -- even the way he brushed his teeth.

Ahmed Bakr -- a pseudonym -- told Time he was instantly awestruck when he saw Zarqawi. "I could not move," Bakr said. After three hours of prayer and discussions about Mohammed, Zarqawi gave Bakr a message to take back to his field commander -- to launch a suicide-bombing operation.

2. Big difference between the two
Mohammed (pbuh) would never have condoned nor asked for a suicide bomber. And I wonder how many Jewish wives Zarqawi has, and how he treats them? Or does he marry the widows of those who have died in battle? That's what the Beloved Prophet did, so that these women would have protection and honor. Does he treat women with respect, as the Beloved Prophet did?

8. I suspect that Zarqawi's Prophet Muhammed would
condone a suicide bombing. Probably encourage one, to be honest.

10. There is only one Prophet Mohammed.
Zarqawi doesn't get his own.

15. Amen, Ayesha
It seems as if the world's gone insane. I'm Christian but was taught to respect that we all descend from Abraham. I cannot believe that people are believing the corruption of the truth by these liars criminals aned creeps. I have always said that all people have to do is to read the Q'uran and tell me where it says to kill oneself in order to make a point or to kill or hurt the innocent, not only human but animals and the very earth itself. I don't understand how so many people can be lied to and CONTINUE to believe it.

3. How did Mohammad brush his teeth.
The toothbrush is a 19th Century invention.
What did they use back then?

16. People have, for thousands of years
utilised frayed twigs to clean the teeth and in many places in Africa and Asia, people still use this method.

4. So I guess Al-Zarqawi cartoons are out of the question now, too?
Although nothing speaks "appealing image" more than beheading some innocent bastard while the cameras are rolling.

:grr:

Have a nice day.

18. You're probably right

I mean...we all remember Mohammad exhorting the faithful to murder innocent men, women and children.

20. More Federal Fairy Tales ~ no one has seen Zarqawi, and their
claim of the one who did, is conveniently not someone who can be named.

Top military people have said they think he's just a myth. Others say he's probably dead. But they keep dragging him out when they get in trouble. Gotta have a villain.

Not one US military person, (or, apparently Iraqi) other than their stooge in the story, has seen this guy.

21. Some Folks Also Thought That WC Quantrill Was a Praying Man, Too
Some folks also probably thought that vicious pro-confederate guerrilla and murderer William C Quantrill was a prayin' man, too.

Now that Zarqawi shown his face (Assuming that's really his face in the photo), I hope that some aggrieved Shi'ite knows just who to look for and caps him.
