New statement from the Islamic State of Iraq: "The New Raid to Support the Sunni Muslim Prisoners"

UPDATE 2/25/12 7:50 AM: Here is an English translation of the below Arabic statement: Allah Almighty says: (And what reason have you that you should not fight in the way of Allah and of the weak among the men and the women and the children, (of) those who say: Our Lord! cause us to go forth from this town, whose people are oppressors, and give us from Thee a guardian and give us from Thee a helper -75- Those who believe fight in the way of Allah, and those who disbelieve fight in the way of the Shaitan. Fight therefore against the friends of the Shaitan; surely the strategy of the Shaitan is weak -76-) Surah An-Nisa الحمد لله ربّ العالمين، والصلاة والسلام على نبينا محمد، وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين.. وبعد: After the clear warning and repeated messages to the government of the Green Zone to stop the campaign of torture and elimination which Ahli Sunnah, women and men, are exposed to in the prisons of Baghdad and others, which escalated recently by these impure following the tradition of their ancestors in the first Safavid campaign against our Muslim brothers in Iran, which the fools of the Green Zone didn’t show any responding initiative, but rather they deliberately ignored these messages and they rushed in their crimes increasingly, and they were deceived by the collusion of the media and the inaction of the politicians who claim to be from Ahli Sunnah and their preoccupation with themselves and posts which became a preferred easy target for their Rafidi allies, and their black hatred to everyone who claim to be from Ahli Sunnah. And as a response to these crimes and to repel the Rafida from committing more, the war ministry of Islamic State of Iraq – after putting our trust in Allah – mobilized its security service and part of its military detachments in a new wave in a series of invasions which it launched to support the oppressed prisoners in the prisoners of the apostates, Alhamdulillah it became easy to surprise the enemy fully in most of the Wilayat of the state despite the size and spread of the conducted operations, and the mobilizing of the Rafida to their donkeys and their hordes of unsuccessful security services, and they expected a seismic Sunni response for their crimes which they intentionally leak to the media on the tongue of their justice minister and the spokesman of their mold judiciary, to break the morale of the Muslims from Ahli Sunnah and terrorize their public and subjugate them to their Iranian Safavid project. And the operations came simultaneously and against targets scouted and selected carefully and it included security centers, military patrols and heads of the security, judicial and administrative leadership, who were part of the Safavid project or contributed in its penetration inside Ahli Sunnah regions and installation of its pillars on its land, and the details of the military operations after surveying and documenting it in the periodical statements that are published by the ministry of information successively Insha’Allah. Alhamdulillah for his guidance and aiming, and we ask Allah that He accept the work of our brothers who participated in this wave, and reward them very much which He promised His slaves, He is the Guardian of that and capable of that. Allah Akbar (and to Allah belongs the might and to His Messenger and to the believers, but the hypocrites do not know) Ministry of information / Islamic State of Iraq Thursday 1 Rabī` Al-Ākhir 1433 A.H.

يقول تعالى: {وَمَا لَكُمْ لاَ تُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاء والْوِلْدَانِ الَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا أَخْرِجْنَا مِنْ هَذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ الظَّالِمِ أَهْلُهَا وَاجْعَل لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ وَلِيًّا وَاجْعَل لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ نَصِيرًا * الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ الطَّاغُوتِ فَقَاتِلُواْ أَوْلِيَاء الشَّيْطَانِ إِنَّ كَيْدَ الشَّيْطَانِ كَانَ ضَعِيفًا}[النّساء:75-76].الحمد لله ربّ العالمين، والصلاة والسلام على نبينا محمد، وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين.. وبعد: فبعد التحذير الواضح والإعذار البيّن والرسائل المتكررة الموجّهة لحكومة المنطقة الخضراء لوقف حملة التعذيب والتّصفية التي يتعرّض لها أهلُ السنّة نساءً ورجالاً في سجون بغداد وغيرها، والتي تسارعت بصورة محمومة في الآونة الأخيرة جرياً من هؤلاء الأنجاس على سنّة أسلافهم في الحملة الصفويّة الأولى ضدّ إخواننا المسلمين في إيران؛ لم يُظهر سفهاء المنطقة الخضراء أيّ بادرة استجابة، بل تجاهلوا عن عمدٍ هذه الرسائل واندفعوا في جرائمهم بصورة متصاعدة، وغرّهم في ذلك تواطؤ وسائل الإعلام وتخاذل السياسيّين الخونة المحسوبين على أهل السنّة وانشغالهم بأنفسهم ومناصبهم التي صارت هدفاً سهلاً مفضّلاً لحلفاءهم الرافضة، وحقدهم الأسود على كلّ ما ينتسب للسنّة.. وردّاً على هذه الجرائم وردعاً للرافضة عن اقتراف المزيد، استنفرت وزارة الحرب بدولة العراق الإسلاميّة – بعد التوكّل على الله – جهازها الأمني وجانباً من مفارزها العسكرية في موجة جديدة ضمن سلسلة الغزوات التي أطلقتها نُصرة للأسارى المستضعفين في سجون المرتدّين، وتيسّر ولله الحمد والمنّة مباغتة العدو بصورة كاملة في معظم ولايات الدّولة رغم حجم وانتشار العمليّات المنفّذة، واستنفار الرافضة لحميرهم وقطعان أجهزتهم الأمنيّة الخائبة، وتوقّعهم ردّاً سنّياً مزلزلاً على جرائمهم التي يتقصّدون تسريبها للإعلام على لسان وزير عدلهم والنّاطق باسم قضائهم العفِن، لكسر الرّوح المعنوية للمسلمين أهل السنّة وإرعاب عوامّهم وإرضاخهم للمشروع الصفوي الإيرانيّ. وجاءت العمليات بصورة متزامنة وعلى أهداف تمّ استطلاعها وانتخابها بدقّة وتضمّنت مقرّات أمنيّة ودوريّات عسكرية ورؤوس قيادات أمنية وقضائية وإدارية، ممّن كان جزءاً في المشروع الصفوي أو مُساهماً في تغلغله داخل مناطق أهل السنّة وتثبيت أركانه على أرضها، وسيتم نشرُ تفاصيل العمليات العسكريّة بعد حصرها وتوثيقها في البيانات الدّورية التي تنشرها وزارة الإعلام تِباعاً بإذن الله. فالحمد لله على توفيقه وتسديده، ونسأل الله لإخواننا ممّن شارك في هذه الموجة قبولَ العمل، وأن يجزل لهم الثواب الذي وعد به عباده، إنّه وليّ ذلك والقادر عليه. والله أكبر {وَلِلَّهِ الْعِزَّةُ وَلِرَسُولِهِ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلَكِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ لا يَعْلَمُونَ} وزارة الإعلام / دولة العراق الإسلامية الخميس، 1/ ربيع الآخر/ 1433 للهجرة النبوية الشريفة الموافق 23/ 2/ 2012 المصدر : ( مركز الفجر للإعلام )

al-Katāi'b Media presents a new statement from Ḥarakat al-Shabāb al-Mujāhidīn: "London Conference Aimed at Carving Up the Somalia Nation"


Mogadishu 23/02/2012 – Somalis have a long history of repelling invasion of all kinds and the London conference is not in any way different from the various other conferences aimed at bolstering the invading African forces that are prolonging the instability in Somalia.
The Muslims of Somalia must understand that the signatories to the London Conference do not hold the keys to the future or the stability of Somalia and should, therefore, categorically all mandates and constitutions prepared in foreign countries under the deceptive notion of restoring lasting peace.
With more than a dozen Christian nations mounting a concerted Crusade against the Muslims of Somalia, we, the leaders of Harakat Al-Shabaab Al Mujahideen, hereby reaffirm our position that we will not under any circumstances allow any form of foreign intervention to be used as an instrument to subjugate the Muslims of Somalia and that we will confront and counter, by any means possible, all the outcomes of the London Conference.
Britain already provides military advice and training to the African invaders and now with the increased support from Britain in the form of logistical support as well as financial aid, we will see to it that the’ coordinated approach’ proposed by Britain does not succeed under the current conditions in Somalia and the delusory attempts aimed at carving up the Somali nation do not materialize.
We now stand more defiant, more stronger and more determined in the face of this imperialistic campaign. We will not, at any point in time, compromise on our beliefs and our goals of establishing governance according to Islamic Shari’ah in our country in preparation for the imminent Islamic Khilaafa and we will wage war against the Western crusade until the Truth of Tawheed emerges triumphant over the falsehood of the Christian-Zionist Crusade.

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: "Regarding the Demonstrations of the Afghan Mujāhid Nation in Reaction to the Desecration of the Holy Qur'ān by the American Invaders"


Last Tuesday night, the American invaders continued their barbaric acts and once again raised their hands in blasphemy against the sacred book
of the Muslims (Holy Quran) by disrespectfully throwing hundreds of its blessed copies into the fire in Bagram military base. The zealous and faithful people of Afghanistan, in defense of their sacred book and in response to the savage actions of the American crusaders took to the streets and have held heated protests throughout the country against the American occupiers for the past 2 days during which tens of them have been martyred.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, despite condemning the American perpetrators of this unforgiving crime in an official statement on the initial day, it once again deems the ruthless martyring of the defenseless protestors by the barbaric Americans and their despicable backers as inhumane, unethical and an unjustifiable action, against which it gives its Mujahideen and its honored nation the following guidance:

  1. As the repeated desecration and burning of the Holy Quran of the Muslims at the hands of the Crusaders is the natural and deliberate act of these infidels, then as part of our defense of our sacred book, we should not be satisfied with mere protests and empty slogans but the military bases of the invaders, their military convoys and their troops should become a target of our courageous attacks. Kill them, beat them, take them as prisoners and teach them such a lesson that they never summon the courage to abuse the Holy Quran again.
  2. The infidel American officials want to cool down the feelings of the Muslims in reaction to this reprehensible act with mere dramatic apology but in reality, give free hand to its barbaric soldiers to continue with their savagery. The Muslim Afghan nation must not be deceived by their superficial apologies and must continue seeking revenge until punishment is dished out with your hands to the perpetrators of this heinous crime for their despicable transgression.
  3. That the protection of the blood and wealth of every Muslim is the duty of all Muslims according to Shariah and transgression against it is absolutely prohibited therefore the target of revenge of the protestors should only be the American occupiers, their facilities and properties and not those of the ordinary people.
  4. The despicable backers of the invaders who have turned a blind eye towards the unforgiving crime of the infidels due to their cowardice and as defense of them, are halting the march of the protestors then they should be prosecuted for their actions before the Americans.
  5. As the Holy Quran is the sacred book of all the entire Ummah therefore the Islamic Emirate calls on all the Muslims of the world, their governments and people, religious officials of the two sacred mosques and the religious centers of Darul Uloom Deoband and Al Azhar, as part of their religious obligation and fervor to take a united stand against the desecration of our common book by the American aggressors. Condemn their unforgivable crime both practically and verbally and back the legitimate struggle of the Muslim Afghans against them.

Wasalam
Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan
