Hello all. For the first time since the summer of 2011 this site will be going on a hiatus. Jihadology will return with new jihādī primary source materials in 2013. Similar to previous years, I have scheduled a series of posts related to books, academic journal articles, think tank/NGO/policy/governmental reports and articles of the year as well as books I’m looking forward to coming out in 2013. These scheduled posts will be running Monday through Friday over the next two weeks. For previous end of the year series see 2011 and 2010. Hope everyone has an enjoyable holiday and new year.
Year: 2012

New statement from Muḥammad al-Ẓawāhirī: "On the Constitution"
أولا :
نرفض الإستفتاء على الدستور المعروض حالياً
1 – لأن جعل السيادة للشعب – تكون له الكلمة العليا عن طريق الإستفتاء و الانتخابات في الأمور الشرعية – غير جائز
2 ــ حتى من ترخص في ذلك لإقامة الشريعة ، لا حجة له هنا ، حيث أن الدستور المعروض لا يطبق شرع الله
3 ــ نعترض على كل ما يخالف شرع الله في مسودة الدستور المعروضة مثل :
أ – جعل السيادة للشعب
ب – الديمقراطية و التي تعني حكم الشعب
ج – جعل التحليل و التحريم بموجب القانون الوضعي و ليس شرع الله
ء – جعل المساواة فيما فرق الشرع فيه و لم يجعله متساوياً
مثل المسلم و الكافر – و الرجل و المرأة – و الحر و العبد .
هـ – عدم الألتزام بأحكام الشريعة و تحريم ما أحل الله أو العكس .
ثانياً :
لا يعني ذلك أننا نوالي طوائف تعادي الإسلام أو نعادي تيارات إسلامية تسعى لتطبيق شرع الله بطرق سياسية طالما بقيت في حظيرة الإسلام و إن أرتكبت معاصي ، و لكن ولاءنا كله لدين الله و نوالي و نحب كل من له أصل الإسلام ، و له علينا حق النصرة و حقوق المسلم و إن إختلفنا معه في مسائل يجوز الخلاف فيها ، و لكن يبقى له أصل المحبة و النصرة و الموالاة و نكره معصيته ، و له علينا حق النصيحة ، و من هذا الباب نبين اعتراضنا.
