THE GULF WAR: The Battle Front : Words on the War

Share

“Once the allied forces began bombing Iraq, Kuwait was no longer the central issue in the minds of most Muslims. A non-Muslim army was attacking a Muslim country, and it became the duty of every believing Muslim to fight the oppression. President Saddam Hussein declared it a jihad, and Muslims all over responded to the call.

“As Iraq continues to be destroyed, more and more Muslims perceive this not as a war to free Kuwait, but as a war against the Muslims of Iraq, hence the call for a jihad is being heeded more strongly.” --ERFAN IBRAHIM, staff member, UCLA Institute of Plasma and Fusion Research
