Fake Your Sect to Fool Militias

© No Terror. info

Iraqi Sunni youths have started an electronic campaign to protect themselves from Shiite militias. Faking faith to fool death squads is not a new phenomenon. It started after the increased reprisal killings in the aftermath of the al-Qaeda’s terrorists bombed the Holy Shrine in Sammara when Shiites militias stormed houses and streets and kidnapped and killed innocent Sunni people to avenge the bombing. The campaign included an extensive instructional email that contained instructions to Sunni people of how to dissemble themselves like Shiites so that in case they are kidnapped, militias release them believing they are Shiites.

Below is the translation of the email that has been forwarded to many Iraqi youths, including Shiites like myself.

It has been clear to many people that hundreds if not thousands are held hostages and were tortured according to their Sunni identity in different parts of Iraq. We have received confirmed information from people who were released after they were kidnapped “by mistake” because they were Shiites that many of the hostages were interrogated to identify whether they were Sunnis or Shiites. They were killed according to that.

The main questions which you might be asked are as follows:
1- What’s your sect?
2- What’s your surname?
3- Who are the 12 Imams? Count them.
4- Questions about religious ceremonies.

Thus, we advice you to do the following:

1- Practice disguising yourself as another person with a fake ID with a different surname. (Fake IDs are available at Mraidi Market), especially if your name is Omar or Othman or your surname is Dulaimi or Janabi, or your birthplace was in a Sunni majority areas.
2- Memorize the names of 12 [Shiite] Imams as listed at the bottom of the letter and carry a turba [a piece of clay in which Shiite Muslims use during prayers] in your pocket if you can.
3- Learn how to pray like Shiites.
4- Keep more than one turba [a round prayer tablet made from clay gathered in the holy cities] in your house clearly, and put a green or black flags on the roof of your house if needed.
5- In your house, keep a poster of Imam Hussein. You can buy it in Mutanabi Street in Baghdad.
6- Keep a copy of the “al-Sahifa al-Sijjadiya” in your houses, and read some of its moving prayers.
7- Keep a Latmiya in your cell phone.
8- Learn how to curse Yazeed and Mu’awiya and Bani Umaiya [early Sunni caliphs hated by the Shiites]
9- Wear or keep black clothes, especially during ceremonies that require wearing them.
10- Learn the Shiites ceremonies like the deaths of the Imams, their birthdates and the joy of Zahraa.
11- It’s OK to say that you are Sunni who switched to Shiisim.
12- Practice these things well and don’t forget to pray in Husseiniya or a Shiite mosque. All mosques are for God.

Be ware that Sunnis and Shiites are not enemies. Some ignorant who were tempted by evil plans want to spread hatred in Iraq. Remember that the occupation and their allies are the only ones to get benefit out of tearing the Iraqi society that was brotherly united since a thousand years ago.

Remember that your life is in danger. So don’t be careless. Allah is the only protector and He is the most merciful.
