Re: Zarqawi - Muslim view
I haven't watched the slaughtering videos or any other videos (claiming to attack, kidnapped persons, vowing to attack "all American" interests) for that matter. As for my own understanding from reading other articles/news it seems that he was a patriotic "insurgent" who might have gone astray (extremism) in defending his land. The news/propaganda makes it difficult for me to distinguish truth from lies, hence I leave upto Allah swt to judge his deeds. I can't make him a clearcut hero or villain.
