"A Letter to Al Qaeda and Anyone Else"
Illustration Security Notes

This information about the artwork for the article is provided by me, the author of both the article and of its illustration. The clarifications regarding Arabic script text in the design are offered so as:

To allay any post 9-11 concerns and/or misinterpretations by media, security entities and/or anyone else that any nefarious "message" is in any way subtly or otherwise woven into any part of its design.

Independent verification and/or grammatical correction is welcomed.

1. TOP - Banner Two-Line Quotation

A Hadith quotation (the Hadith are various collections of Sayings by the Prophet Muhammed second only to the Qur'an), the artwork uses the passage shown in green font here below.

"A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said:

A'ishah, verily Allah is kind and He loves kindness and confers for kindness what he does not confer for severity and does not confer upon anything else besides it (kindness). ~ 1501 Marfu Hadith " **

(** Note: Arabic Hadith reference numbering varies.)

2. MIDDLE LEFT - Circular Design

"Bismillah" is one of the most well-known phrases in Islam since it is used to open every chapter of the Qur'an. Many creative designs are made from it and this round version is a popular one found on the Internet and elsewhere.

Bismillah also opens the article as a key subtext of its essence: "Bismillah hirRahman nirRahim" (in the name of The Divine, Most Gracious, Most Merciful).

3. LOWER LEFT - Arabic Script Above "Truth"

A non-nuanced, modern day Arabic translation of the word "Truth" (actually in lower case "truth" since there is no capitalization in Arabic).
