The Purpose for this Blog (1st revision)

Upon finding most of the reports surrounding the last Siege of Dammaaj falling short in consistency with the reality, we've opened this blog for the purpose of presenting comprehensive information from those who have firsthand knowledge of what happened. In turn this will aide those who seek to know the true facts.

The former Daarul Hadeeth Dammaaj Institute had an exceptional reputation in Yemen for indeed it is a center of knowledge and has been for over 40 years. Its people are known for their uprightness, integrity and a life dedicated to seeking beneficial knowledge. As for the Houthi Group it is well known they are a military rebellion movement that has fought six wars in rebellion to their own government.

We will make distinction from the facts and claims. The facts are undeniable truths that are backed by sound proofs. Claims are reports that are well known among the general people but its source is unclear. We will not waste the readers time will obviously false claims. Like those who say the war was over when it wasn't. This was totally untrue. As we were writing this brief introduction the Houthis were showering us with heavy artillery (mortar shells, tank fire, rapid heavy machine gun fire), firing at homes and the main Masjid periodically.

We appeal to the All-Mighty to aide those oppressed and ask those who are able, to do what is upon them and stand up for justice against the various atrocities throughout the world because silence upon any evil without a legitimate excuse would be evil in itself.

FACTS:

1. The students of the former Daarul Hadeeth Dammaaj Institute are absolutely free from the ways of terrorism. Those who appear to have extremist jihadi or any other deviant destructive ideology are first advised then are asked to leave immediately then if not by force. Dammaaj was built on teaching and learning the correct belief system. So the proper Islaamic methodology is that the Muslim obeys the ruler and doesn’t rebel against him. The houthis have fought six wars in rebellion to the Yemeni Government.

2. The houthis are upon the belief and methodology of the extreme Shia’ Twelvers (Raafidhah) not the methodology of Zaidiyah as most reports state. This is because the creed they follow is the creed of the Raafidhah, so the labeling them Raafidhah is not for the purpose of insulting them. The heretical sects of the Raafidhah and the Baatiniyah have a well-documented history of fighting Al-Islaam in the name of Al-Islaam. Look at the books like Minhaaj As-Sunnah by Sheikh Al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah and Al-Farq bayna Al-Firq by ‘abdul Qaahir Al-Baghdaadi.

3. Foreigners have been coming to Dammaaj from different countries since the institute opened over 35 years ago. This is the first time in its history that the Dammaaj institute is being accused for recruiting “foreign Sunni fighters.” There is absolutely no proof for this claim. And we say bring your proof if you are indeed truthful. Now why would a man come with his whole family, sometimes with infants, to a come be a “Sunni Fighter???”

4. The meaning of terrorism in brief according to the Encyclopedia Encarta: the deliberate creation and exploitation of fear for bringing about political change. All terrorist acts involve violence or—equally important—the threat of violence. These violent acts are committed by nongovernmental groups or individuals. Terrorist: Somebody using violence to intimidate others often for political purposes. The houthis are without a doubt a terrorist organization and probably some of the biggest criminals in the world in this day and time.

5. U.S. Senator John McCain said in a visit to Yemen that the houthis had become a bigger threat than Al-Qaeda.

6. The houthis slogan is “Death to America, Death to Israel, Curse be upon the Jews, the victory is for Islaam,” but yet they are known for tyranny and various criminal acts only against the Muslims like; murder, extortion, theft, forcing children to fight in their wars, driving thousands away from their homes, etc.
