Journey to Paradise

Sleep the Sleep of the Bridegroom

Faisal al-Mutairi actually wanted to fight in Afghanistan, but was arrested in Iran. He later carried out a suicide attack in Iraq. In between he worked for the jihad through the Internet and distributed audio tapes.

He died with God's permission through a suicide attack against the enemies of God in Baghdad. (…) That was last Saturday.  The iternational calling code is 965, Jabir al-Mutairi, 9015xxxx, Walid al-Mutairi 974xxxx (editor's note: Telephone numbers have been deleted).

(…) Faisal Zaid al-Mutairi, also known as Abu al-Bara’a, was of great stature and beautiful character. (…) He was known for his friendliness and befriended the Muslims from Bengal and India. He liked them a great deal and told others to be friendly to them, (…) because there is a bond across all Islam May God take him as a Martyr!

(…) He was a boxing coach and was deeply impressed by Sheik Osama bin Laden. “That is the Islam of today (…)!” he once said.  He traveled to Iran at the end of the Afghanistan war in order to join the Arab brothers there. But God would not permit him this joy, and he was arrested in Iran. After he was released, he returned to Kuwait. But the fate of his brothers in jihad worried him and he looked for news of them in the Internet and elsewhere. “Don’t stand with bound hands, spur the Muslims on and teach them jihad!” he always said.

That’s how he started training young men in a gym. (…) He started passing out tapes to motivate them and did so in the mosques as well.

As the events in Iraq began to unfold, he looked for a way there. God permitted a way to be opened for him, and he joined the informational jihad, filming many attacks in Iraq. Later, he began to fight. He then carried out a suicide attack that, as God allows, will bring him to paradise.

(…) Pray for him brothers. (…) Pray also, that I may join my friend in martyrdom. (…)

Here is an excerpt of a Kuwaiti newspaper article: “It was learned yesterday that a Kuwaiti (Faisal Z.M.) was killed during a fight with US troops twodays ago in Iraq.”

Sleep now, Abu al-Bara’a, Sleep the sleep of the bridegroom. (…) I will cry for you.
