Shocking details on rape, killing of Iraqi civilians 7/3/2006 1:00:00
PM GMT The U.S. Army has launched recently a military
investigation into the case involving the rape of Abeer Qasim Hamza, a
15-year-old Iraqi girl and the killing of her family by U.S. invading troops in
the south-central Iraqi city of Mahmudiyah on March 11.
The Washington Post released a report on Monday removing the veil over more
shocking details into the incident, which was described by The Association of
Muslim scholars, a reputable organisation established after the toppling of the
former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, as showing "the truth of the ugly American
face."
According to The Post report, Abber had previously told her mother that the
occupying soldiers had made advances on her each day as she passed through at a
nearby checkpoint.
The mother decided that the girl sleep with other women in the neighborhood, to
ensure her protection.
The Post quoted Omar Janabi, who said he was a neighbor, as saying that he
was informed by the mother on March 10 that Abeer had complained repeatedly
about advances made toward her by the American troops.
On March 11, the occupation soldiers raided the house, grabbed the girl, raped
her and burned her body. Then they shot dead the rest of the family members,
including a child.
Before the investigation, the U.S. soldiers attempted to throw the blame on
Sunni Muslim rebels. But two U.S. military men confessed that soldiers of the
unit were responsible for the horrific crime.
The Association of Muslim Scholars, (AMS), also known as the Muslim Scholars
Association, or Association of Muslim Clerics, condemned "this ugly crime and
declares to the whole world that this mean behavior and terrible violations
committed by the invaders show the truth of the ugly American face and also
shows that their claims of calling for humanity and liberation are not true,"
the organisation said in a statement issued earlier this week.
"We put the world and all humanitarian organizations as witnesses to this
ugly crime and call them to face the American recklessness that went way too
far."

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom
(i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue
with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone
astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.} (Holy
Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in
His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites
(men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I
am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if
Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of
camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever
calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who
follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
