New article from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: "America, No More a Superpower"
After the early Islamic era and the evanescent reign of Sultan Salahuddin Ayyubi (who dealt a crushing defeat at European crusaders), the Ottoman caliphate was marvelous and unparalleled. They safeguarded Islam and the Muslims for four hundred years.
The present boundaries of the Muslim countries have been made possible as of this day, thanks to their Jihad and unstinted sacrifices.
Other Muslims were neglectful of this responsibility. Only the Othoman were vigilant and fulfilled it. But fraud and conspiracies of the enemies of Islam contributed to disintegration of this glorious caliphate, causing irreparable loss and tragedy. On one hand, the Muslims were deprived from their political stronghold and on the other hand, they lost their first Kiblah (i.e. Jerusalem) and it fell into the hands of Zionist occupiers. It is still under their control and the oppressed Muslims of Palestine are forced to live under squalid conditions.
For more than a century, the Muslims of the world have been victims of attacks and invasions of infidel colonial powers of the world. They do not leave Muslims to forge ahead towards peace and prosperity in the light of the rules and regulations of the holy religion of Islam; to follow Islamic values and morals in their countries and to implement the Islamic Sharia laws and tenets. This is the reason that for the last century the whole Islamic Umma has been passing through a collective social unrest and distress.
The present Islamic world, comprising of 50 smaller or larger states, is mostly under the control of the colonial powers. They are sucking the blood of the Muslims and have trained tens of Karzais among the Muslims to safeguard their malicious interests. Everywhere in the world, whosoever abide by pure Islam and is faithful to the high interests of the people, has been removed from power with prizes of millions of dollars on their heads. If we ignore the remaining world and just look at to the past one and half decade of our own country, we find how the control and supremacy of the Islamic ruling was thorn in the flesh of America. The renaissance of Islam in our homeland was intolerable for her. The American colonialism could not bear to see the candle of Islam remain burning here; that lingual, ethnic and national differences should come to an end and that the suppressed and miserable Afghan nation fuse into a central and unified force.
They feared if the Islamic Sharia brings peace and justice in Afghanistan, people in other parts of the world would ask for this kind of system and it would turn their vagrant and treacherous way of life meaningless. So they decided to put out rays of this light.
Full of this malicious thought, America and European allied decided to attack Afghanistan from far-flung area. They united the forces of the whole non-Muslim world and invaded Afghanistan. This invasion which took place both from air and on the ground was the greatest march of its kind. It was not only confined to military invasion but was accompanied by propaganda war, economic and political invasion as well.
Then observers said that it was the war between the weakest and the strongest with a great imbalance of power between them. The observers predicted that American would suffocate the life of the poor Afghan people and the ever free Afghanistan would lose the blessing of freedom forever. The Afghan nation will be deprived of the spirit of Islam and independence. But it was against the will of Allah the Almighty. Instead, His will was that the history of Afghanistan should remain fraught with love of faith, courage, bravery and heroism. It was the will of Allah that America and its puppets are to be debased and disgraced to the extent that not only the future history of Afghanistan will become splendid with glory but also bring an inspiration of freedom and independence to all the oppressed peoples and communities of the 21st century. Yes, by the will and support of Allah, America is no more a super power; instead it is a state on descent. Overall, we can say that she is no more the America as she was before 2001.
Fortunately, today not only in Afghanistan but in all oppressed lands of the world, the dawn of freedom has arisen. Gone are the days when from east to west a great uproar and tumult of American invasion was ringing. Now the day has come that America has fell down from her pride and is desperately trying to flee.
So in these aspiring moments the Afghans are giving the good news to all the oppressed nations that;
America is no more as she was. She is on the edge of decline and breakdown. It is quite near that her pride will fall and the statue of its tyranny will collapse. And it is never a hard task for Allah to do.

My brothers and I in Al-Qaida disown and condemn these operations [attacks on mosques and Muslim gatherings], whether they are the work of the mujahideen or other parties.

Avoid harming those who are not legitimate targets, whether they are Muslims or non-Muslims… Be very careful in this regard.

New statement from al-Qā’idah in the Islamic Maghreb: "Support and Backing for the [Libyan] Revolution of our Family, the Free, Descendants of 'Umar al-Mukhtār"
UPDATE 2/25 9:11 AM: Below is a French translation of the below message:
Louange à Allah qui dit : ” Autorisation est donnée à ceux qui sont attaqués (de se défendre) – parce que vraiment ils sont lésés; et Allah est certes Capable de les secourir – ”
Prière et bénédiction sur notre Maitre Mohammad qui dit : ” Allah laisse l’injuste commettre ses méfaits jusqu’au moment où Il le saisira, il ne pourra point lui échapper ”
Ensuite :
A nos familles et nos bien-aimés en Libye :
Aux héros de Benghazi, aux courageux de Derna, d’Al Baydah, de Tripoli, de Tobrouk, de Ghat et d’ailleurs….
Aux hommes libres des tribus de Warfalah, de Zantan, d’Al Muqarahah, de Musratah, de Tawariq et d’autres…
Nous suivons avec joie et douleur votre honnorable soulèvement contre le Taghut de Libye, Mussaylamah de notre ère qui a, durant plus de quarante ans, fait gouter aux descendants de ‘Umar al Mukhtar l’opression, la privation et l’humiliation.
Il a certes transgressé dans son pays et y a commis beaucoup de désordre et a infligé au peuple toutes sortes de châtiments et d’asservissements.
Autant avons-nous été heureux de votre soulèvement béni et de l’imminence de la fin du règne de ce tyran, que nous avons été attristés par les massacres lâches commis par le meurtrier d’innocents : Al Kadhafi contre nos familles musulmanes impuissantes qui ne se sont soulevées que pour se départir de l’injustice, de la mécréance et de la contrainte de ce dirigeant ainsi que pour réclamer leurs droits et leurs richesses qu’il leur a spoliées ainsi que ses enfants et sa troupe.
Les massacres continus perpétrés par le Mussaylamah de notre ère à l’aide de mercenaires africains et d’avions de guerre à l’encontre du peuple libyen musulman ne font que divulguer avec clarté toute la sauvagerie des dirigeants tawaghit qui n’hésitent pas un seul instant à massacrer les musulmans dans le but de préserver leurs trônes.
Voici que les révoltes tunisienne, égyptienne et libyenne dévoilent le mensonge de ces meurtriers criminels qui n’ont eu de cesse d’accuser à tord les Mujahideen de s’en prendre aux innocents.
A présent, le monde entier a la confirmation qu’ils sont en réalité ceux qui tuent les innocents, qu’ils sont sanguinaires et dénués de toute moralité et de clémence lorsqu’ils tuent des enfants, des femmes et des jeunes à l’aide de canons de type Shylka, des missiles de l’aviation et des balles de mercenaires.
Quant à nous et face à ces évènements historiques qui s’accélèrent et dont sont témoins nos frères musulmans en Libye et afin de remplir notre devoir de soutien et de conseil envers nos frères, nous souhaitons déclarer ce qui suit :
1- Nous faisons nos condoléances aux familles des martyrs qui ne sont sortis que dans le but de condamner le blâmable et de déchoir le Taghut. Nous demandons à Allah d’accepter leurs enfants et de leur accorder le Firdaws, de les récompenser pour le malheur qu’ils subissent, de leur donner une famille meilleure en échange et de leur inspirer la patience.
2- Nous annonçons notre soutien et notre appui à la révolte libyenne en ce qui concerne ses réquisitions légales. Nous donnons à nos familles libyennes la confirmation que nous sommes à leurs côtés et que nous ne les abandonnerons pas, avec la permission d’Allah. Nous ferons tout notre possible pour leur venir en aide, avec l’aide d’Allah.
Votre lutte est celle de tout musulman qui aime Allah et Son Messager. Quant à nous, notre seul but est de vous défendre contre ces criminels de guerres qui ont annihilé vos droits, pillé vos richesses et vous ont privé des besoins les plus primaires d’une vie digne, de votre liberté la plus basique et de la dignité humaine.
3- Nous appelons le peuple libyen musulman à rester ferme et endurant et l’ exhortons à poursuivre son Jihad et son soulèvement et à lui donner davantage d’ampleur jusqu’à ce que le Taghut criminel soit déchu. Quiconque d’entre eux meurt, il mourra en martyre avec la permission d’Allah. Et celui d’entre eux qui vivra, alors il vivra heureux, et la louange est à Allah.
Faites que votre devise soit celle du Cheikh des Mujahideen, ‘Umar al Mukhtar : ” Nous, nous n’abdiquons pas, nous vainquons ou nous mourrons ”
Soyez donc patients, fermes et impliqués ! La victoire ne demande qu’une heure “ et ce jour-là les Croyants se réjouiront du secours d’Allah. Il secourt qui Il veut et Il est le Tout Puissant, le Tout Miséricordieux. ”
4- Nous appelons tous les peuples musulmans à venir en aide à leurs frères en Libye avec tout ce qu’ils possèdent et particulièrement le peuple égyptien, tunisien et algérien. Nous appelons également les savants, les prêcheurs, les intellectuels et les gens du média à soutenir leurs frères musulmans de Libye en les aidant dans leur épreuve et en faisant écho de leur cause légale , en divulguant les massacres en série commis par les hommes sanguinaires de Kadhafi.
Quant à toi ô Mussaylamah contemporain !
Toi qui a déclaré la guerre à Allah, à Son Messager ainsi qu’aux croyants. Ô toi dont les mains sont maculées par le sang de plus de 1200 de parmi les meilleurs des jeunes de Bou Salim ! Voilà que ce sang pur te maudit aujourd’hui, t’encercle et réclame vengeance en scandant : ” Nul n’est en droit d’être adoré si ce n’est Allah et Kadhafi est l’ennemi d’Allah ! ”
Ô toi l’imposteur pécheur au cœur dur et en plus de cela bâtard ! Voilà que le jour se lève et dévoile sans honte ta réelle nature barbare. Ton jour est proche, avec la permission d’Allah !
Ô barbare de Libye, la Libye toute entière te haïe
Du haut de son minaret te maudit
Quand bien même tu achètes des hommes
Quand bien même Iblis et son armée te soutiennent
Va t’en!
Les armes des sionistes ne te seront d’aucune aide
Quand bien même tu tuerais des jeunes et des vieillards, des veuves et des affamés !
Le peuple s’est juré de te déchoir!

NOTE: ‘Umar al-Mukhtār is an important figure in Libyan history. He was a teacher of the Qur’ān by profession. Additionally, he was skilled in the strategies and tactics of desert warfare. As a result, he was a leading figure and led the Libyan resistance against the Italian fascists — who invaded Libya — from 1912 until his death when the Italians hung him in 1931. His heroic efforts were later depicted in the 1981 film The Lion of the Desert. The film was banned in Italy in 1982 and was not shown on Italian TV until 2009.
It should be noted that AQIM has had no connection with Libya in the past and has had major issues recruiting Libyans similar to Tunisians and Moroccans.
