[Juenger-list] Ernst Juenger - A Man For All Times

[mvk575b@tninet.se (Bertil Haggman)]

Adalbarr,

Correct you are.

As a contribution to the question of jihad:

There are five crucial Arabic and Islamic words, as follows: =20
Hirabah (forbidden "war against society").....mufsidoon=20
(those evil-doers who wage such unholy war)......jahannam=20
(the Eternal Hellfire into which unrepentent evil-doers are cast=20
by Allah).... tajdeef (the sort of blasphemy which bin Laden=20
and al Qaeda are conducting against authentic Islam), and....=20
shaitaniyah (the word for satanic, which is the character of=20
both bin Laden and his al Qaeda Blasphemy.)

Let us think of July 20 for a second:

"After the 20th of July, I was stunned to see that I had
pre-described the events very accuarately: Prince Sunmyra
is none other than Stauffenberg. He fails in his undertaking,
but the mere attempt is already very fine." (p. 36, _Details
of Time."

With best Juengerian wishes
