War of Words

This is circulating in DoD channels via email.  Let's see if the Administration and/or puppets like Fox News start following these suggestions.  Just like they did with the personal versus private accounts for social security.

Possible CENTCOM, SOCOM, PSYOP, IO, PD & PA (and others)
Action Items in the "War of Words" and "War of Ideas"


1 Seek a modest change in the current DoD Guidance which advises that we
avoid almost all Islamic religious words -- modified merely so as to

a) avoid parroting the false word "Jihad" (holy war) and begin
substituting for it the word for word "Hirabah" -- pronounced hee-RAH-bah and meaning "unholy war" and forbidden "war against society," instead;

b) avoid the words "mujahiddin" (holy warriors) and "shahiddin" (martyrs)and "fedayeen" (those willing to die for, to be martyred for) and begin calling these assassins and suicide mass murderers the "mufsidoon" (evildoers) they really are;

c) allow making the point that according to Islam those "mufsidoon" who
will not cease their evildoing -- and earnestly seek and receive
forgiveness from Allah for their sinful ways -- are almost surely destined not for "Jinnah" (Paradise) but for "Jahannam" (eternal Hellfire), instead.

2 Avoid repeating al Sadr's self-sanctifying "Mahdi Army" label, because
the Mahdi is Allah Himself -- in the Redeemer and Messiah roles -- on
Judgment Day

3 Avoid being demonized by the "death squads" label, by proactively and
pre-emptively referring to the "al Qaeda Death Squads," the "al-Zarqawi
Death Squads," the "al-Sadr Death Squads" and other assorted mufsidoon
(evildoers) by both of these terms

4 Avoid the careless and gratuitous terms "invasion," "war" and "war on
Iraq" and use, instead, such correct terms as the recent "liberation of
Iraq," the ongoing "democratization of Iraq" and the current "peacekeeping" and "reconstruction" missions in Iraq -- all of which are
dangerous and life-threatening but not per se WAR or per se OCCUPATION,
either

5 Shed the negative "occupiers" and "occupation force" labels by
officially renaming the US and Coalition forces -- whose legal status has changed, now that there is an elected Interim Iraqi Government -- and by calling them the International
o "Force For Peace and Stability" (Quwwat al-Salaam wa al-Istiqrar), or
the
o "Force for Peace and Justice" (Quwwat al-Salaam wa al-'Adl), or the
o "Force For Peace and Freedom" (Quwwat al-Salaam wa al-Hurriah)

6 Place the "war of words" issue, even in small ways, on every possible
agenda and in every possible panel discussion and every anti-terrorism
conference, without which it will seldom be seriously discussed at all

7 In due course, organize and schedule a major Public Affairs, Civil
Affairs, Public Diplomacy, PsyOp and Information Operations conference on "war of words" and related "War of Ideas" matters only, or at least
primarily so

8 Create small, highly focused "war of words" working groups within each
of these DoD agencies and disciplines -- and establish an inter-agency
coordination, as well

9 Select only half a dozen principal Arabic and Islamic words (including
the three explained above: Hirabah by mufsidoon destined for Jahannam) on which to focus initially, with other "approved" words and tactics to be prudently added in due course

10 Help to recruit additional scholars and Muslim clerics to contribute
their words of wisdom and truth-in-Islam to the "Hirabah" thesis
work-in-progress compendium previously provided. Current contributors who now number about 25 should be doubled by mid-year, and doubled again by year's end

11 Help to instigate and evaluate the "Hirabah versus Jihad" Q & A format previously provided, in form of a big-prize, high rewards essay contest in selected venues -- probably best in relatively quiet and moderate Muslim World university cities -- with the basic questions to be answered as follows:

o What is going on here --Godly Jihad (holy war) or un-Godly Hirabah
(unholy war)?

o Who are these killers -- mujahiddin (holy warriors) & martyrs or
mufsidoom (evildoers)?

o Where are they headed -- to Allah's Jinnah (Paradise) or Satan's
Jahannam (Hellfire)?

o Are they promoting Sharia (Allah's Law) or Tajdeef Shaitaniyah (Satanic Blasphemy)?

o Finally, provide correct answers to whatever other good-versus-evil
questions in Islam which would strengthen the rationale for the
truth-in-language and truth-in-Islam answers that the contestant has
posited
