Talk:Mujahideen Shura Council (Iraq)

The english language press releases often refer to specific names I am unfamiliar with. Can anyone clarrify who these are?
 * Crusaders - US led Coalition troops
 * Apostate - Shi'a
 * Dajal army- Mahdi Army
 * Badr (Ghadr) corps? - viewed as an enemy

The Dajjal Army is probably a reference to the Mahdi Army, the main Shiite group in Iraq the Shura Council is fighting. According to Islamic Eschatalogy, the anti-Christ, called in Arab ad-[dajjal], will arise and lead the infidels against Islam; he will be countered by Isa, Jesus, and the messiah, or Mahdi, who will defeat him, "break the cross", and establish world Islamic hegamony. Thus, the reference to the "Dajjal army" is what passes for a witty turn-of-phrase in the terrorist world.

Refering to the Badr Corps as Ghadr Corps is similar, as Ghadr in Arabic means backstabbing, or in this case treachery.

Made-up group
This group may be a Shia group posing as a Sunni group. It doesn't have a verifiable leader. Al-Masri may have been created by the Iraqi government to justify the activities of Shia militias.--Patchouli 18:01, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
