New statement from Hānī al-Sibā’ī: "The Release of a New Batch of Prisoners"

NOTE: In this statement, Hānī al-Sibā’ī calls for the release of Ayman Ẓawāhirī’s younger brother Muḥmmad Ẓawāhirī.  Here are a couple of other recent statements from Hānī al-Sibā’ī that relate to the recent prison releases:


علم مركز المقريزي من مصدر موثوق أنه قد صدر قرار بالإفراج عن دفعة جديدة من الإسلاميين الصادر ضدهم أحكام من محاكم عسكرية حيث أفادنا الشيخ يحيى خلف أن القرار صدر بعد صلاة الجمعة بتاريخ 29 ربيع أول 1432هـ الموافق 4 مارس 2011م.

وعلم مركز المقريزي أن قرار الافراج شمل مجموعتين؛ المجموعة الأولى من الذن كانوا قد تراجعوا وهؤلاء جميعهم من سجن ليمان طره.. أما المجموعة الأخرى؛ وهم من الثابتين بفضل الله وكانوا من الرافضين للتراجعات؛ وهم ثلاثة من سجن استقبال طره.. ولله الحمد والمنة.

أسماء المفرج عنهم من سجن ليمان طره:

(1) نبيل نعيم عبد الفتاح. القيادي الشهير وكان من أشد المدافعين عن التراجعات.

(2) عصام نصر الدين غزلاني.

(3) شقيق السابق: محمد نصر الدين غزلاني.

(4) يوسف رياض. (5) عبد الغفور شميس.

(6) علي الفقي. (7) سعيد سلامة.

أسماء المفرج عنهم من سجن استقبال طره:

(8) محمد سعيد فرج. (9) أسامة إبراهيم كاري.

(10) عاطف الشحات الجندي.

بناء على ما سبق

فإن مركز المقريزي يفرح برفع الظلم عن هؤلاء المسلمين الأبرياء الذين قضى البعض منهم نصف أعمارهم في سجون الطاغية المخلوع!! نفس هذا النظام المجرم الذي ميز بين السجناء والمعتقلين في المعاملة وفرق بينهم وأحدث فتنة عمياء كادت أن تبيد الثابتين على دينهم! من حصار وتجويع وتشريد وتعذيب وقهر وقتل وهم صابرون صامدون بفضل الله وحده!

ومن ثم فإننا نوجه النصح للاخوة المتراجعين عن الحق خوفاً من أمن الدولة!! لقد أذهب الله عنكم الخوف .. وها أنتم أولاء قد أطلق الله سراحكم! .. فعودوا إلى ربكم وتوبوا إليه توبة نصوحاً.. ولا تحسبن أن تراجعكم ومهادنتكم لأزلام الطاغية هو الذي أخرجكم من السجن!! لو كان الأمر كذلك فلم خرج بعض الثابتين الرافضين لتراجعاتكم!! بل إن كثيراً من المعتقلين خرجوا قبل المتراجعين بعد ثورة الشعب المصري!! فالله وحده هو الذي أنعم عليكم وأذهب عنكم الضيق وأزال عنكم الغم والحزن! وفرج كربكم!!

كما أننا نناشد المنظمات التي تعنى بحقوق الانسان وأصحاب القلوب الرحيمة أن يضغطوا على المجلس الأعلى للقوات المسلحة أن يفرج عن جميع المعتقلين والصادر ضدهم أحكام من محاكم عسكرية وعلى رأس هؤلاء الشيوح: الشيخ نبيل عبد المجيد المغربي.. والشيخ عبود الزمر .. والدكتور طارق الزمر .. والشيخ مجدي سالم .. والشيخ محمد الظواهري والشيخ مرجان سالم وغيرهم.

Kavkaz Center presents a new video message from the Amīr of the Caucasus Emirate Dokku Umarov: "Warning in Connection with the Reaction of the Russian Invaders on the Martyrdom Operation at the Moscow Airport"

NOTE: It appears that this video was recorded at or around the same time that Dokku Umarov also recorded his video titled “To the Muslims of Egypt, Tunisia, and Other Arab Countries.” For other videos Umarov has released regarding the Domodedovo attacks see:

In addition to the video below, here is an English translation of it:
I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan, in the name of Allah the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful.
All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds! Praise be to Allah, Whose help and forgiveness we are seeking for! We are seeking refuge in Allah from the evil of our own selves!
He whom Allah leads to a straight path, nobody can ever put him down from the straight path, he whom Allah leaves to wander, nobody can lead him to the straight path!
I bear witness that there is no God but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger!
“O you who believed, fear Allah as He should be feared and do not die as others but Muslims”.
May peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you!
Dear Brothers and Sisters!
I want to appeal to you, Muslims of Russia and Caucasus! I appeal to you with a question: how can you combine your life today in peace with the people who is responsible for the crimes and tyranny committed against your brothers and sisters in Caucasus?
How can you be loyal to the government of Putin and the FSB that wage war against Islam and Muslims?
Pay attention how these parasites are mocking at our brothers and sisters! Pay attention how and with what cruelty and cynicism they capture our sisters and young children!
In this regard, I recall a well-known parable about four bulls. I want to tell you this parable. Why? Because today, when disaster falls upon your brothers and sisters, you look at it with apathy, indifference and think that this disaster will not come into your house! … But there is no doubt that this disaster will also touch you!
Four bulls, three blacks and a white one, lived in a dangerous area where there were many wolves and predators. The bulls survived thanks to the fact that they stood together and sought their food together.
But three black bulls separated from the white one, saying that this bull was not of the same color as they – he, they say, unmasks us.
Look at the similarity to what is happening today! When our sisters, young children are seized, we say that they are the brothers of terrorists, the brothers of the Mujahideen, or the sisters of the Mujahideen, or the wives of the Mujahideen.
You are not say that. Why? Because tomorrow this disaster will come to your house, and this label will be hung upon you too! They will invent another label. If it is not the word terrorist, then they will find another word.
And now the continuation of the parable – when the wolves saw the discord among those four bulls, they immediately attacked and ate the white bull, and the other three bulls calmly watched how the wolves ate their mate.
Today, we are also seeing how our sisters are tormented, how our brothers are tormented, as how our elderly are tormented, we think that this disaster will not touch us – that it will pass us by. But I swear by Allah, it will not pass us by if we are not true Muslims, if we do not preach the religion of Allah on this earth!
When the wolves ate the white bull, they were quick to attack the others. They attacked and ate the bulls one after another, and when it came to the last bull, they chased this last bull for a long time, knowing that it will not escape from them. And at the last moment, when the wolves caught it, it said the words which we should think over:
“I do not die now, I died when the white bull was eaten! The day, when I left the white bull alone, that day I was eaten, and that day I was murdered!”.
Think it over, today they capture our brothers and sisters, and everybody is silent and watches, thinking that it does not concern them.
They listen to the words of those stooges, those hypocrites who say that the sisters and brothers of the Mujahideen are terrorists. But no, they are ordinary Muslims who adhere to the religion of Allah and who perform the orders of Allah because they are sincere Muslims!
Therefore, I urge you to awaken, so that you do not to allow these atrocities to be committed, so that these parasites do not mock at you!
The Ummah is strong when it is united, when it is united in mutual love and brotherhood, as stated in the famous hadith.
Therefore, I urge you today for unity, I say to you: if you cannot make jihad against the infidel with arms, then show them at least with words, with your disagreement that you belong to the Muslim Ummah!
We, the Mujahideen of the Caucasus, we will give, Insha’Allah, a prompt response and carry out retribution to the infidels for their misdeeds that they commit! For the desecrated honor of our sisters, whom they seize, for those youngsters, whom they seize today and proclaim terrorists! Insha’Allah, that is all by the will of Allah, Insha’Allah. And if it is the will of the Almighty, we will give our prompt answer!
I would like to say some words about the last operation at the airport that was carried out in Moscow.
Everybody knows how many discussions there were after this operation, how many words were spoke and how much was told about it. To make a video prior to that operation, it was a wish of our brother Seyfullah. He insisted on making the film even though I asked him not to show his face.
I kept this video as long as the infidels didn’t establish the identity of our brother Seyfullah, and only after that, knowing their treachery, knowing their lawlessness, knowing how much sufferings they will bring to his family -only then I published this video, when I was definitely convinced that they know our brother – Martyr Seyfullah.
Now there are all sorts of speculations, although I do not care about them! But to those who accuse me today of terrorism and atrocities, I will answer.
I witnessed the beginnings of the two wars that occurred in Caucasus, especially in Nokhchicho Province. I’d seen how the vultures of infidels, their aircraft, dropped tons of bombs on our civilian international airport, killing the entire population that was around and inside the airport!
It is war, that is war! And the infidels, Putin and his stooges, his military stooges, knew that we did not have any fighter jets or Apache helicopters, that there were no anti-aircraft batteries at the airport. But an airport is a strategic facility which must be destroyed. Therefore, they attacked, dropped tons of bombs at the beginning of both wars.
So let Russia know that it is at war with Caucasian Muslims and that we strike back exactly on strategic targets, and that such strikes will continue in the future exactly on strategic targets!
Everybody should know – war is war, and wars have their own methods, be they good or bad.
Our goals are holy. We preach the religion of Allah, we set the goal to establish justice on the earth, and their goal is to enslave Muslims, to make war against the Muslims till their elimination.
So do not forget, “dear” Putin’s stooges, and Putin, that you are at war with the Muslims of Caucasus! Insha’Allah, Insha’Allah, such operations will be carried out further, Insha’Allah, no matter what atrocities and crimes you commit against the civilian population, against our brothers and sisters, we will deliver you such strikes that you will be unhappy of them!
The crimes, which the infidels commit against the Seyfullah’s family, seizing his innocent brothers and sisters, will not stop the Mujahideen. Our Mujahideen do not lose courage from that! On the contrary, they will want even more to perform such operations! Insha’Allah, these operations, if it is the will of Allah, will continue in future!
I conclude my appeal with a wish to call down blessings on all Muslims of Caucasus, Russia and the whole world.
Peace and blessings be upon Prophet Muhammad, his family, companions! May Allah bestow His blessing to His servants on the true path!
All praise and thanksgiving belong to Allah, the Lord and Sustainer of all the worlds!
May peace and blessings of Allah be upon you.
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar!


al-Jahād Forum presents a new article from Muẓaffir al-Makkī: "Ḥasan al-Bannā Responds to the Muslim Brothers"

NOTE: As I was privately discussing with Christopher Anzalone yesterday, this seems like a more effective tactic than the long-winded lectures that Ẓawāhirī has been giving. That said, I’m unsure that this will sway anyone either. An article like this may have more appeal if the Muslim Brothers were to gain power and then did not live up to the expectations of their followers and they became disillusioned. Either way, this is all speculation at this moment so take it with a grain of salt.


Muẓaffir al-Makkī — “Ḥasan al-Bannā Responds to the Muslim Brothers”
[scribd id=50089234 key=key-w8k4l4ijkuks6u3kol8 mode=list]

al-Fajr Media releases issue one of a new women's magazine: "al-Shāmikhah"

UPDATE 4/1 9:39 AM: Here is an English translation of an interview in the below magazine:
Click here for a safe PDF copy: Interview with a Mujāhid Widow Umm Muhannad, Issue #1 al-Shāmikhah

UPDATE 3/5 11:51 AM: For more details on the poetess al-Khansā’ see Christopher Anzalone’s comments below. Also, he highlighted Yusūf al ‘Uyayrī’s, first operational leader of AQAP, killed in June 2003 in Saudi Arabia, book the Role of Women in Fighting the Enemies, which I should have remembered, but it lapsed my mind. Click here for an English translation of it.

NOTE: The below magazines name al-Shāmikhah means majestic. As Alix Levine notes in her new blog, which I highly suggest you check out: “The magazine discusses everything a woman needs to know about first aid, skin care, jewelry … AND of course, how to participate in Jihad.”
In the past, there has also been two other famous global jihadist women’s magazines released. In 2004, the al-Qā’idah branch in Saudi Arabia released al-Khansā’, which means gazelle or short-nosed. The name al-Khansā’ most likely was derived from the famous female Arabic poet from the Najd in the seventh century during the time of the Muslim prophet Muḥammad. Later, in February 2010 another women’s magazine was released called Ḥafīdāt al-Khansā’ (granddaughters of al-Khansā’). This publication only lasted two issues.
Global jihadists reaching out to women is nothing new, though. This is just another step in normalizing their position within the overall movement. The most vivid example recently was when Ayman Ẓawāhirī’s wife Umaymah Ẓawāhirī published a “Letter to My Muslim Sisters,” which you can read more about at Jihadica.
 
Also, back in October, Anṣār al-Mujāhidīn Arabic Forum, which has been down the past month or so, created a new women’s section. Further other global jihadist forums including the newly opened al-Jahād and the French language forum Anṣār al-Ḥaqq, among others, have women’s sections. Additionally, the popular Western jihādī media website Salafī Media has a whole section of the site dedicated to articles on women.
One cannot also forget that women suicide bombers have played a large role in the Caucasus jihād. Most recently, Maria Khorosheva conducted a suicide attack against the ‘OVD’ police station in Gubden, Dagestan. Further, within the global jihadist movement there have been reports of female suicide bombers also in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
Lastly, the importance and role given to certain women in the Qur’ān and early Muslim history cannot be underestimated as well.

بناء على ما سبق

فإن مركز المقريزي يؤكد على ما ذكرناه في بياناتنا السابقة أن أن ثورة الشعب المصري مختطفة!! وأن من أهم مطالب الشعب هي حل جهاز مباحث أمن الدولة ومحاكمة ضباطه ومخبريه! وإلغاء قانون الطوارئ وما ترتب عليه من إجراءات ومحاكمات كما نطالب بإلغاء المحاكم العسكرية وما صدر عنها من أحكام بأثر رجعي.

كما أننا نناشد المنظمات التي تعنى بحقوق الإنسان التدخل العاجل لانقاذ هؤلاء المعتقلين المضربين عن الطعام في سجن في سجن العقرب والمطالبة بالإفراج الفوري عنهم وعن المحكوم عليهم بأحاكم استثنائية أو عسكرية في عهد النظام السابق مع محاكم المسؤولين عن استمرار اعتقال هؤلاء الإسلاميين.

New statement from Shaykh Abū Basīr al-Ṭarṭūsī: "Secular Scholars"

UPDATE 3/12 9:07 AM: Here is a French translation of the below statement:
Shaykh Abū Basīr al-Ṭarṭūsī — “Secular Scholars” (Fr)
[scribd id=50595054 key=key-68czklyeu0x9a12u2cc mode=list]

NOTE: al-Ṭarṭūsī is a Syrian Islamist who lives in London. al-Ṭarṭūsī is considered one of the most influential jihādī theorists. For instance, as highlighted by Vahid Brown on Jihadica, al-Ṭarṭūsī has 200 works in the jihādī text collection “A Mujāhid’s Bookbag.” Also, in the past al-Ṭarṭūsī has condemned Dr. Faḍl for his revisions and Yūsuf al-Qaraḍāwī for a variety of what al-Ṭarṭūsī views as problematic rulings.
