New statement from the Mujāhidīn of Shamilkala Sector, Dagestan Front of the Armed Forces of the Caucasus Emirate: "We are keeping faith with oath given to Emir Abu Usman!"
NOTE: After the controversy over who was the Emir of the Caucasus Emirate (see here, here, and here) it looks like Dokku Umarov has shored up support within the ranks since below (unedited) is a message by the Dagestan Front of the Armed Forces of the Caucasus Emirate giving endorsement to Umarov as the Emir.

Praise be to Allah the Lord of the worlds!
Praise be to Allah, who favored us with Jihad, giving us an opportunity to win the highest degree of Paradise of Allah the Firdaus!
Peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah Muhammad (pbuh), his family, companions and all those who followed this path until the Day of Judgment, and then:
Peace be unto you and so may the mercy of Allah and His blessings!
Peace and prosperity of Allah to al Muslim brothers in the Caucasus and beyond!
Dear brothers and sisters, I felt it necessary to make some additions to what has been said by some of our brothers, about the actions that go beyond the Sharia.
The first statement of the CE Emir Abu Usman (AKA Dokku Umarov) is clearly made under pressure from those who have previously accused him of that he allegedly firmly holding the power of Emir. In the video clip being discussed among the brethren, also obvious that he addressing to the Caucasian Emirs for their opinion how they perceive such a decision (?).
Dokku Abu Uaman did not resign from the post of Emir of the Caucasus Emirate but he delivered his proposal to resign, and then only in the case if other Emirs of provinces of the Caucasus Emirate support this decision.
Mujahideen of the all provinces have already expressed their attitude to this proposal with the words of supreme judge of the Caucasus Emirate Seyfullah, pointing to the insolvency of the very reasons for the resignation for health reasons: “We need your experience and your head!”.
Abu Usman, and is now also ready to resign, but only in the case if such a wish expressed by the Emirs of other provinces of the Caucasus Emirate. And as the qadi, supreme judge, of the Caucasus Emirate Seyfullah said and has been confirmed by other Emirs of CE Provinces, such questions concerning the role of the CE Emir is decided by the Shura or Council of the Caucasus Emirate, but not by the Shura of a single province.
And if some of the mujahedeen in the provicnes of Nokhchicho (AKA Chechnya / Ichkeria) believe that they have a right to decide the status of the Emir of the Caucasus Emirate only on the grounds that he is their own congener, and also because the Jihad started in Nokhchicho, then they are clearly mistaken.
The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said:
He who calls to asabiyya (nationalism) is not from us, he who fights for asabiyya is not from us, and he who shows his anger because of asabiyya is not from us”.
(Muslim)
The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said:
“Indeed, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a black has no superiority over white, nor a white has any superiority over black, except by piety”.
This hadith says that no one has any superiority over others, we are all equal before Allah.
I fought beside Aslambek in the first war, and we have brothers with us fought together with him in the second war in the detachment of Emir Khattab (may Allah have mercy on him) and, as everyone knows, this detachment was consisted of representatives of many nations of the Caucasus, and its backbone was consisted of Dagestanis.
Emir Rabbani (may Allah have mercy on him), which fought 7 years in the provinces of Nokhchicho, said that over the years, he personally counted up to a thousand Dagestanis who martyred, Insha’Allah, in Chechnya. They fought to the death with infidels, defending their fellow Muslims in Chechnya.
Praise be to Allah, today the number of Mujahideen in Dagestan Province is not less than the number of Mujahideen in the Province of Nokhchicho. And the combat actions are most active outside the Nokhchicho, and for this reason, the main forces of Russian infidels, are directed to the provinces of Dagestan, Ghalghaycho, Kabarda, Balkaria and Karachai. Allah alone knows how much strength we have managed to put off from our brothers in the province of Nokhchicho.
We, the Mujahideen of Shamilkala sector of the Armed Forces of the Caucasus reiterate: Mujahideen of Dagestan, following the Sharia of Allah, are still faithful to the oath given by us to the Caucasus Emirate Emir Dokku Abu Usman.
Victory or Paradise!
Allah Akbar!

The Global Islamic Media Front presents a translation of al-Malāḥim Media’s lecture “Loyalty to the Believers” by Abū Zūbayr ‘Adīl bīin ‘Abdullah al-Abāb
As-Saḥāb presents: “Message to the people of Turkey” by Dr. Ayman al-Zawahri
UPDATE: Flashpoint Partners released a transcript of Dr. Ayman al-Zawahri’s most recent video message titled: “Message to the people of Turkey.” Here is a brief abstract of the transcript and below it is the entire transcript:
In an audiotape titled “Message to the Muslim Turkish People”, produced by As-Sahab and released on August 15, 2010, Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri said that “Change will come if the Turks decided to demand their government stop cooperating with Israel and recognizing it, and stop sending its forces to kill Muslims in Afghanistan, and stop fighting Islam and its Sharia. The Turkish people must hold the responsibility of its government’s continued recognition of those who invaded Palestine and persistence in participating with the Crusaders in killing Muslims in Afghanistan. The Turkish people must regain the glorious role that the Ottoman State carried out in defense of the Muslim homelands in general and Palestine in particular.” He argued that “The role of the Muslim Turkish people in defending Islam and Muslims cannot diminish to simply sending a ship or a number of ships to aid Gaza.” And he reminded the Turks that “The Ottoman Turks used to be the mujahideen against every greedy and aggressor, and they weren’t only donors of a few tons of aid.”

New statement from the Spokesman Of Islamic Emirate Of Afghanistan in response to the Civilian Casualties’ Survey

Ramadan 04, 1431 A.H, Sunday, August 15, 2010
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
The topic “civilian casualties” being raised in the world mass media over and over again is a highly sensitive issue of the country’s ongoing crisis which is currently being used as a subjective medium of propaganda by the Western media rather than observance and fulfillment of the human rights.
Despite the fact that that the civilian deaths by the US and its allies’ blind bombardments and fire reached a record high, yet several different official and unofficial organizations in the word are reporting the issue in a partial, one-sided and incorrect way, stunningly exempting the persistent offenders, those who have really been behind the civilian deaths in Afghanistan. Following such biased and subjective press release by other so-called human rights organization of the UN, the United Nation Assistance in Afghanistan (UNAMA) released a report on August 10, 2010, blaming the Mujahideen for most of the civilian casualties.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, regarding such press releases based on one-sidedness and dogmatism instead of neutrality and justification by related organizations and mainstream media outlets which not only encourage the ISAF forces to keep harassing the masses and causing further civilian deaths but also exacerbate and intensify the tragedy rather than minimizing the effect and slowing down the civilian casualties, outlines the strategic facts and clarification indicated as follows:
A committee, consisting of special representatives of Islamic Conference, UN’s human rights organizations as well as representatives from ISAF forces and Islamic of Emirate of Afghanistan, should be formed to assess the very issue and conduct investigations into the civilian casualties across the country.
The stated committee should by given a free hand to survey the affected areas as well as people in order to collect the precise information and the facts and figures and disseminate its findings worldwide.
Failure to pay attention to the said proposal outlined by Islamic Emirate may be the same as denial of the human rights of the Afghans by UN and violation of the fact that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights, which may leads up to the conclusion that the Afghans can not enjoy their equal and free rights, therefore, the frequently-repeated and raised issue concerning the civilian casualties by so-called human right organization and others can only serve as a propaganda tool encouraging and daring the killers to push the war-stricken and oppressed Afghan masses far deeply into the fire set by ISAF forces . If the UN and other related organization really want to carry out the job, they are to come up with an optimistic and positive decision concerning the suggestion of the Islamic Emirate.

الحمد لله ناصر المؤمنين، مخزي الكافرين، الذي وعدنا بالنصر والتمكين، وجعلهما في جهاد الكافرين، والصلاة والسلام على سيد المرسلين، وإمام المجاهدين، وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين، أما بعد:
ففي يوم الاثنين بتاريخ 9/8/2010 مـ خرجت الشرطة الإندونيسية لمكافحة الإرهاب – الإسلام – لاعتقال الشيخ أبو بكر باعشير بعد أن ألقى محاضرة في ولاية جاوا الغربية. اعتقل طاغوت إندونيسيا الشيخ أبو بكر بعاشير بالجرم والقهر، ولرفض الشيخ أبي بكر لهذا الاعتقال هاجمت الشرطة الإندونيسية لمكافحة الإرهاب – الإسلام – السيارة التي كانت تقل الشيخ هجمة شرسة. فاعتقلوا الشيخ ومعه 8 من الإخوة و تركوا زوجة الشيخ وإحدى المسلمات معه. إن هذا الاعتقال ظلم عظيم للإسلام والمسلمين و إنه جزء من الحرب الصليبية تديرها حكومة إندونيسيا المرتدة. والمسرور المريد بهذا الاعتقال هو الدولة البربرية أمريكا وأوستراليا، وقد تم الاعتقال بعد أن اعترفت أمريكا على عمل الحكومة الإندونيسية ضد الإرهابيين –الذي في الحقيقة ضد المجاهدين-. ونبشر الأمة الإسلامية عامة والمجاهدين في كل مكان خاصة؛ أن المجاهدين في إندونيسيا لن يتوقفوا عن طريق الجهاد والتضحية، وإن قُتِل الكثير من قادة الجهاد والمجاهدين شهداءً و الكثير منهم المعتقل، ولكن الجيل الجهادي يتوالد في هذا البلد و راية الجهاد لن تسقط بإذن الله تعالى. ونبشركم أيها المجاهدون أنه بعد إعدام أبطال غزوة بالي الثلاثة، قد اتحد المجاهدون من الجماعات السلفية الجهادية المختلفة، وبعد استشهاد القائد المجاهد أبو معوذ نور الدين بن محمد توب الماليزيي مع إخوته الأبطال تقبلهم الله جميعا، اتحد الإخوة المجاهدون تحت الكلمة الواحدة وتحت راية القتال. وقد رأيتم بطولتهم في ولاية أتشيه أول هذه السنة. ونذكر المجاهدين والموحدين في إندونيسيا، قال الله: (وَكَأَيِّن مِّن نَّبِيٍّ قَاتَلَ مَعَهُ رِبِّيُّونَ كَثِيرٌ فَمَا وَهَنُواْ لِمَا أَصَابَهُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللّهِ وَمَا ضَعُفُواْ وَمَا اسْتَكَانُواْ وَاللّهُ يُحِبُّ الصَّابِرِينَ * وَمَا كَانَ قَوْلَهُمْ إِلاَّ أَن قَالُواْ ربَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَإِسْرَافَنَا فِي أَمْرِنَا وَثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَنَا وانصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ (آل عمران: 146-147)
ونقول للصليبيين الصهيونيين وعملائهم من المرتدين؛ إن شدة البلاء على المجاهدين، هي من علامات النصر والتمكين من الله عز وجل للمجاهدين. وإننا نحن أمة الإسلام لينصرن الله علينا، وإن الكافرين لمغلوبون وهم المخزون في الدنيا والآخرة.
فانتظروا إنا معكم منتظرون..
(وَاللّهُ غَالِبٌ عَلَى أَمْرِهِ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ)
اللهمّ عليك باليهود والنصارى وعملائهم المرتدّين..
اللهمّ أنصرالمجاهدين في كلّ مكان، وأيدهم بمددمن عندك..

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Sawt al-Jihad Nusantara Bayanat tentang penangkapan Sheikh Abu Bakr Bashir dan situasi terkini dari Jihad di Indonesia (يُرِيدُونَ أَن يُطْفِؤُواْ نُورَ اللّهِ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَيَأْبَى اللّهُ إِلاَّ أَن يُتِمَّ نُورَهُ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ * ُوَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِالْهُدَى وَدِينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ) Mereka berkehendak memadamkan cahaya (agama) Allah dengan mulut (ucapan-ucapan) mereka, dan Allah tidak menghendaki selain menyempurnakan cahaya-Nya, walaupun orang-orang yang kafir tidak menyukai. Dialah yang telah mengutus Rasul-Nya (dengan membawa) petunjuk (Al Qur’an) dan agama yang benar untuk dimenangkan-Nya atas segala agama, walaupun orang-orang musyrik tidak menyukai ( Al-Tawbah 32-33) الحمد لله ناصر المؤمنين، مخزي الكافرين، الذي وعدنا بالنصر والتمكين، وجعلهما في جهاد الكافرين، والصلاة والسلام على سيد المرسلين، وإمام المجاهدين، وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين، أما بعد: Pada hari senin pagi tanggal 9/8/2010, pemerintah murtad indonesia dengan mengerahkan satuan polisi anti-terornya telah menangkap Sheikh Abu Bakr Bashir, setelah beliau memberikan ceramah agama di wilayah Jawa barat. taghut Indonesia menangkap sheikh Abu Bakr Bashir secara paksa dan licik, Sheikh Abu Bakr menolak penangkapan dirinya sehingga mobil yang ditumpanginya bersama istirinya diserang secara brutal oleh satuan polisi anti-teror. bersama Sheikh Abu Bakr juga ditangkap 8 ikhwan lainnya, sementara istri beliau dan seorang muslimah lainnya telah dibebaskan. Sesungguhnya penangkapan ini adalah kezaliman besar bagi umat Islam dan ini merupakan bagian dari perang salib yang dilancarkan terhadap islam dan kaum muslimin oleh pemerintah murtad Indonesia .
Sesungguhnya yang paling gembira dan menghendaki penangkapan ini adalah negara barbar amerika dan australia dan penangkapan ini terjadi setelah amerika menyatakan puas atas kerja indonesia memberantas teroris -yang sebenarnya memberantas Mujahidin-. Kami beritahukan kepada umat Islam secara umum dan Mujahidin di setiap tempat secara khusus: bahwasanya Mujahidin di indonesia tidak akan pernah mundur dari jalan jihad dan pengorbanan. walaupun banyak dari para pemimpin jihad dan mujahidin yang telah gugur sebagai shuhada dan sebagian besar lainnya tertangkap, tapi generasi jihad akan terus lahir di negeri ini dan bendera jihad tidak akan pernah tumbang, dengan izin Allah ta’ala. Dan kami berikan sebuah kabar gembira bagi para Mujahidin: bahwa sejak di eksekusinya trio pahlawan bom bali, para mujahidin di indonesia yang tergabung dari berbagai Jama’ah Salafiyah Jihadiyah yang berbeda mulai melakukan konsolidasi persatuan dan setelah shahidnya Al-Qaid Mujahid Abu Muawwidh Nurrudin bin Muhammad Top al-Malayzi bersama ikhwan-ikhwannya yang gagah berani (semoga Allah menerima mereka semua), para Mujahidin Indonesia telah bersatu dibawah satu kalimat dan bendera peperangan. Dan kalian telah melihat aksi mereka yang heroic di wilayah Aceh pada awal tahun ini. Dan kepada kaum Mujahidin dan Muwahidin di Indonesia, kami sampaikan ayat Allah ta’ala : (
