The Pharaoh

"The magic that America used in the media reminds us of the magic spun by the Pharaoh. The Crusader news stations lie and deceive, falsify the truth, and make what is wrong, right. These bias news stations are like the magic that the Pharaoh spun, a snake that bewitches the people. The terms used by the Pharaoh are the same terms Americans utilize against the mujahidin."Poster to Al-Falujah Islamic Forums, January 2010

"Blessed hour? Is it a blessed hour when Obama came to the heart of the Islamic world, in the Arabian Peninsula? Is it a blessed hour to welcome Obama, the commander of today's crusade, and the leader of the war against Islam, and the Pharaoh of the age? Welcoming him with these words represents the Fiqh of humility, and the culture of submission. Is it a proper way to welcome Obama, who promised to protect Israel, and who has escalated the bombardments in Afghanistan and Pakistan with unmanned aerial vehicles, and now entered Yemen? Obama, who has promised to end terrorism in Somalia and Yemen, Obama, who wants to lead the USA to new wars? ‘What a blessed hour, Abu-Husayn!’ What blessing is there in Obama's visit?" Anwar Al-Awlaki, May 2010

The Jahiliyya

Isn't it time for you to arise from your heedlessness and cast aside these organizations which have acted as traitors to Allah, His Messenger, and the Believers, and become soldiers of Tawheed? Know well, may Allah guide you, that blood which is spilled and sacrifices made in the Cause of a the creation of a banner of pure Tawheed on this land and establishing it let alone the fact that working with these organizations is considered working under a banner of jahiliyyah. You are more able to prove that they have gone far astray from being a banner which works in the Cause of Allah.Abu-Ibrahim al-Ansari, Tawhid and Jihad Group Video, February 2010

"One of disasters of this era, the greatest trials of this religion, and its gravest catastrophes is the infiltration of some of these systems, which were introduced as infidel Western ones, raised as blatant Western ones, and thrived as dissolute Western ones; namely, the so-called democracy. This democracy crept into the ummah of Islam when its people were inattentive and weak, its governments were apostates, its sons were ignorant, and many of its ulema were negligent, except those whom God saves."

"It [democracy] raised its flags in their countries, squirted out its poisons into their limbs, spread its creeds among them, and cast its shadow and falsehood over their countries. Thus, it was embraced by either a deceived fool or a corrupting deceiver. They ‘caused their people to descend to the House of Perdition’ [Partial Koranic verse; Ibrahim, 14:28]."

"They drove their ummah to the agonies of dying. Thus, this obvious greatest infidelity prevailed under the guise of Shura. Indecency spread under the logo of freedom; heresy excelled and atheism appeared under the guise of freedom of belief. The ignorant and mean ones dared to slander the religion under the guises of freedom of speech; and the ummah was divided into sects and parties under the guise of plurality and variety of opinions."

"However, we are still hearing calls for this new religion by which pulpits shake, pens are sharpened to promote it, and media outlets, whether heard, read, or watched, are employed to urge the people to participate in it. Armies, including its weapons and equipment, are massed to promote this religion, to impose it, and to put it into effect."

"By God, this is the sedition of the era and the disaster of all times, which scorched the bright face of Islam with its hell, stained its pure image, and profaned its clarity and wholesomeness."Abu Yahya al-Libi, August 2009

The Battle of Badr

"As history wrote about our honest Messenger, God's prayers and peace be upon him, his companions, and their followers of the first [Hijri] century, it will write about our time; about young men who fight as if they belong to the battles of badr, Al-Qadisiyah, and Al-Yarmuk. They have devoted themselves to God, Sublime and Exalted be He. They departed from their homes, left their possessions behind, and took leave of their households and children. All this was for the sake of God. They devoted themselves to God, Sublime and Exalted be He, as they were promised Paradise. They abandoned life in return for Houris and running rivers." Jihad Al-Murabitin Brigades video, May 2010

"The right rationale is that these are fighters and the ruling on them is the same as the ruling on the Crusader occupier, and according to the military and security standards, they are far more dangerous than the occupier. Consequently, fighting them is no less important than fighting the occupier, and even if 10 people volunteer to replace whom we killed , we trust that the outcome of the battle and control over the land in the end is not a matter of numbers, and the prophet (peace be upon him) when he killed a few dozen [of the people of Quraysh] during the Badr battle, the polytheists mobilized a bigger army to fight him in the Uhud battle and they mobilized 10 times that army's number in Al-Khandaq, his calculations did not focus on the number of polytheists after he kills a number of them? Or whether they will be small or big in number?" Shield of Islam Brigades spokesman, June 2010

Shaytan’s Handiwork

"It is an acumen of a man to not to depreciate his enemy. Thus, what if this enemy is the Satan? ‘the devil is for man an open foe’ [Partial Koranic verse, Al-Isra, 17:53]. In fact, Satan knows the big predicament through which the mujahid passes when he decides to carry out a martyrdom-seeking operation. He knows that he does not have time before losing his battle with this man forever. Therefore, he attempts by all means to keep the mujahid away from it. No, he does not ask him to quit jihad since he knows that he is not in good position to do so with the martyrdom-seeker. However, he tries to entice him with other forms of jihad that hold less danger than the martyrdom-seeking operation.

He [Satan] says to you: Why do not you try in the frontlines? Why do not you plan a bigger operation that afflicts the enemies of God? If he failed, he will start to say: ‘your operation will not be successful; nobody will die except you; you will lose yourself without serve outcome, and so on.’ The Satan will try to dissuade the martyrdom-seeker, by all means, from carrying out the operation for he, may God torment him, knows that it is the shortest course to the highest level of paradise." Vanguards Of Khurasan Magazine, March 2010

Almighty God says: ‘Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah, and those who reject Faith Fight in the cause of Evil: So fight ye against the friends of Satan: feeble indeed is the cunning of Satan,’ [Koranic verse, Al-Nisa, 4:76]. "The enemies within that are sneaking behind our backs -- the poisoned daggers on the nation's throat are the tyrants, the heads of evil, leaders of infidelity, and followers of the devil. Fighting and eliminating them is a Shari'ah duty imposed by the Shari'ah and with reason. They have fought the religion, controlled Muslims' lives, and stolen Muslims' fortunes. They must be fought for all the crimes they have committed against their religion and their ummah." Jihadist Brigades for Internet Raiding, June 2010

The Hypocrites

"The history tells many stories about the hypocrites and those who abandon jihad in the cause of God, and it provides descriptions of them. One of their inherent descriptions, which they inherit a generation after generation, is what God the Almighty, Who knows what the hearts conceal, says: ‘they swear by Allah that they are indeed of you; but they are not of you: yet they are afraid (to appear in their true colors). If they could find a place to flee to, or caves, or a place of concealment, they would turn straightway thereto, with an obstinate rush,’" [Koranic verses, Al-Tawbah, 9:56-57]. …

"‘The Hypocrites are afraid lest a Sura should be sent down about them, showing them what is (really passing) in their hearts. Say: "Mock ye! but verily Allah will bring to light all that ye fear (should be revealed),’ [Koranic verse, Al-Tawbah, 9:64]." Sada Al-Malahim Article, May 2010

"The most important lesson that this critical stage of the Ummah's history produced is that the Islamic State is built only on the shoulders of those who adhere to the true and faithful methodology. The Islamic State today will rise only like the first state did in the Medina of the messenger of God (may the prayers and peace of God be upon him). The push and magnitude of the conspiracy were tremendous, in terms of funding, preparation, and the efforts and resources that were mobilized (both inside and outside of Iraq) to kill the anticipated newborn caliphate state and to save the reputation of the American empire and its agents in the region. Only those who witnessed the events firsthand and were exposed to the pressure and the tragedies that took place could grasp [the size of the conspiracy]. In events such as these, the face of a man is truly revealed. This stage was the bellows that blew out the malice, and the quake that drove the hypocrites out of Medina, as Al-Bukhari narrated in the Hadith: ‘The Dajjal [false Messiah] will come and encamp at a place close to Medina. Then, Medina will shake thrice, whereupon every infidel and hypocrite will go out toward him,’ [Hadith]." Global Islamic Media Front, May 2010

1924

"What happened is that after the fall of the Ottoman Caliphate, the Muslims were scattered and torn apart. What happened is that the Muslims submitted and surrendered to the Sykes-Picot Agreement, which divided the Islamic states as spoils of war among the crusaders. As a result, the lands of the Muslims were divided into states or even petty states.

Consequently, a Muslim in Iraq or Morocco now considers Iraq or Morocco only as his country, while other Muslim countries are not. In that manner, the Crusaders managed to demarcate the borders and deceive the rulers of the resulting artificial states into believing that those states are the right of their peoples and that they must prohibit other Muslims from entering them without permission. Hence, Muslims were disunited in the world." Abu Muhammad Al-Maqdisi, June 2009

Indeed not many years had passed after this meeting, when the Jews of Dawnama managed to isolate Sultan Abd-al-Hamid, the last of the ottoman caliphs, through the Society of Alliance and Advancement which they controlled. This isolation was the first step towards the establishment of the Jewish plan, and a dangerous measure towards the destruction of the ottoman state at the hand of the Jews. They had resorted to it to escape Europe's persecution, especially from Spain at the time of the inquisition. So it protected them for being of the Ahl al-Dhimma [non-Muslims such as the Jews and Christians]. But the Jews returned the kindness with offense, and the favors with denial. They betrayed the ottoman nation and stabbed it in the back and in the face, this being the habit of the Jews. They do not know but betrayal, disloyalty and ingratitude, and they are liars. As soon as the ottoman nation collapsed during World War I due to the internal conspiracies of the Jews and the external global crusaders, the progeny of Uthman fell in a trance and a deep hibernation. The Islamic world too fell with them in a deep sleep and became like a motionless corpse. They abandoned the leadership of the Islamic world which they commanded for almost five centuries, during which they protected it, and especially Palestine against the aspirations of the crusaders. They even spread Islam in the depths of Europe, which sought their contentment and amiability. Post on al-Boraq website, June 2010

The Infidel Invaders

"Therefore, we announce that we are responsible for attacking this malicious and harmful channel. We confirm that this message, which was written with blood and fire, was not the first and will not be the last of its kind. We will not hesitate to target any party or media establishment and pursue their members wherever they are, as long as they insist on being a tool for fighting God and His messenger, slandering and rejecting the religion of Islam, being a trumpet that supports the Crusader campaign, fighting the mujahidin in this country, or In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate." Islamic State of Iraq, July 2010

Words cannot describe the epic of the prominent leaders of the Salafist Jihadist trend. Those leaders; 'the knights of the Al-Qa'ida organization' present to the Salafist jihadist trend, which is going through a turning point and is terrifying the tyrants, convoys of martyr leaders. They pump into the veins of that faithful group the blood of martyrdom, which smells like musk and is crowned with reverence. That selected group has been a bulwark against all the forces of crusader arrogance and the collaboration, which is represented by the apostate and treacherous trend that is hiding in our countries. Here are the honorable leaders, the knights mentioned in the prophetic tradition. They are under the banner of the Prophet Muhammad, prayers and peace be upon him, giving with their blood and martyrdom the best examples of holding on to the principles and advancing on the path of their aims, with the will of God the Almighty. They face death with courage and equanimity. Then, they declare it a blatant jihadist wedding, which is embarrassing the crusaders, who think that killing us could halt our advance toward our aim, which is a mature Caliphate. Imprisoned Moroccan extremist, June 2010

The Nakba

"Saturday, 15 June marks the 43rd anniversary of the expansionist war, which the Zionist entity launched on three Arab fronts with a US support in 1967. This resulted in occupying the remaining territories of the historic land of Palestine.

The anniversary is back again and the Palestinian and Arab pain is renewed. It continues to live in the collective memory of the setback and its bitterness. In a short period of time that lasted for six days, there was a sudden change in the modern Arab history. These Arab states relied on the might of their armies, while the Zionist army was able to invade the Sinai Peninsula, reaching the Suez Canal, and occupied the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and Jerusalem, reaching the Jordan River. It also seized a large part of the Syrian Golan Heights. Thus, the Palestinian people suffered from a disaster that was meaner than the one they had suffered in the 1948 Nakbah ["the catastrophe" -- reference to the events that befell the Palestinians in 1948]." Al-Basrah website, June 2010

‘Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah, and those who reject Faith Fight in the cause of Evil: So fight ye against the friends of Satan: feeble indeed is the cunning of Satan,’ [Koranic verse, Al-Nisa, 4:76]. Adding to its records of black history, the global arrogance, as well as its protege, foundling Israel, reveals the peak of its savagery and flagrant aggression, abandoning all norms, laws, and human values by committing a new war crime. The criminal Zionist occupation forces carried out a treacherous aggression, which resulted in the killing and wounding of scores of peace activists and the arrest of hundreds who came from all around the world in the ships of Freedom Flotilla. The ships carried 750 supporters from more than 40 countries, including 44 officials, parliamentary and political figures, as well as some women and children, to support the sons of the Palestinian people besieged in steadfast Gaza."

Seventy-Two Virgins

Jihadist Website Eulogizes Al-Qa'ida Leader Mustafa Abu-al-Yazid 9 June 2010:

"O Abu-al-Yazid, rest in peace, for we, God willing, will take revenge for your blood, follow your path, look forward to your status, and will never quit. In doing that, we apply what the poet says: [Poetic verses] "Whenever I hold my old sword, the tyrants are humiliated and become defenseless. The best thing ever is the sword and using it to kill and behead. In doing that, we, together, gain paradise, maidens, high stature, virtue, and merit. A lad holding his sword in the cause of God for an hour equals sixty years of a monk's worship. I have neither a shelter nor a friend other than the sword." Extremist website, June 2010

"This path is called patience. And suffice it to say that because of the importance of patience and its requirement for the believer, God made it a condition along with jihad in order to enter paradise. God the Almighty said: ‘Did ye think that ye would enter Heaven without God testing those of you who fought hard (In His Cause) and remained steadfast? ’[Koranic verse, Al-Imran 3:142]."
