New statement from the Islamic State of Iraq: "On the Fury of the Mūwaḥidīn in Response to the Execution of the Ahl al-Sunnah Prisoners"

UPDATE 3/20/13 10:27 AM: Here is an English translation for the below Arabic statement:

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
الحمد لله ربّ العالمين، والصّلاة والسّلام على نبيّنا محمّد، وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين… أما بعد:
The minister of justice of the Safavid government came out with his gloomy face threatening on the TV screens, when his false mask and he appeared in his ugly reality lost nerves and tense, after the painful blow that he received when the Muwahidin entered his ministry and destroyed the den of evil which he administered on top of his criminal gang, he didn’t appear this time – as he used to do – to defend his ministry against the accusations and the crimes that it is committing in the prisons that were leaked to the media and its smell became so rotten, but rather he appeared to confirm that he sought and is seeking by every mean to speed up the executions and conduct massacres for the Ahli Sunnah detainees.
So we say to this Safavid criminal and those who are behind him: The mujahidin are the best people to know the methods of Allah regarding you and the effective cure for your tyranny you impure, and you have strained yourself by challenging them, and this is the first dose from the response have reached you quickly after the mobilization in Baghdad and other, and let your followers and donkeys the Rafidah that they will pay the cost of your actions and statements in seas from their filthy blood, and what reached you on Tuesday is the beginning of the rain, and it is the first stage that Allah willing there will be what follows it to revenge the Muwahidin whom you executed, so cease and refrain or await shortly for what you hate, and what will make forget the calamities of the past days (So wait; we too will wait with you) 52 Surah At-Taubah.
Allah Akbar

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

الحمد لله ربّ العالمين، والصّلاة والسّلام على نبيّنا محمّد، وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين… أما بعد:

أطلّ علينا وزير عدل الحكومة الصفوية بوجهه الكالح مهدداً على شاشات التلفزة، وقد سقط قناعه الزائف وظهر فاقداً أعصابه موتوراً على حقيقته القبيحة، بعد الضربة الموجعة التي تلقّاها حينما جاس الموحدون وزارته ودمّروا وكر الشرّ الذي كان يديره على رؤوس عصبته المجرمة، ولم يظهر هذه المرة – كما هي عادته – ليدفع التهم عن وزارته وما تقترفه من الجرائم في السجون التي تسربت أخبارها لوسائل الإعلام وأزكمت رائحتها الأنوف، وإنما ظهر ليؤكّد أنه هو الذي سعى وسيسعى بكلّ السبّل لتسريع الإعدامات وإقامة المذابح لمعتقلي أهل السنّة..

فنقول لهذا الصفويّ المجرم ومن خلفه: إنّ المجاهدين أعرف النّاس بسنن الله فيكم والعلاج الناجع لطغيانكم أيها الأنجاس، وقد ارتقيت مرتقاً صعباً بتحدّيك لهم، وها هي الجرعة الأولى من الردّ تصلكم سريعاً بعد استنفارهم في بغداد وغيرها، وليعلم أتباعكم وحميركم الرافضة أنّهم سيدفعون ثمن أفعالكم وتصريحاتكم بحوراً من دمائهم النجسة، وأنّ ما وصلكم يوم الثلاثاء هو أول الغيث، ومرحلة أولى لها بإذن الله ما بعدها ثأراً لمن أعدمتموهم من الموحّدين، فكفّوا وارتدعوا وإلا فترقبوا قريباً ما يسوؤكم، ويُنسيكم مصائب الأيام الماضية {فَتَرَبَّصُواْ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّتَرَبِّصُونَ}.

والله أكبر
{وَلِلَّهِ الْعِزَّةُ وَلِرَسُولِهِ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلَكِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ لا يَعْلَمُونَ}

New statement from the The Muslim Youth Center: "Mujāhid Ruta Receives Shahādah"


In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful the Most Beneficent
Majengo (19/03/2013) – MYC in Kenya, Tanzania and Somalia can confirm that on 17/03/2013, Mujahid Ruta, a much loved and respected Mujahid from Mtaani received his Shahada at the hands of the Kuffar.
Information suggests that Mujahid Ruta had walked into ‘Angola’ after leaving the Mosque and was shot in the head by two unidentified Kuffars. MYC views this as a callous execution by the Kuffar and a futile attempt to weaken the morale of the Mujahideen in Kenya in their support for Al-Shabaab and Al-Qaeda in East Africa.
In his last moments, as Mujahid Ruta struggled with life on the operating table he was surrounded by friends and the Mujahideen of Mtaani. Within minutes the Mujahideen and friends were carrying his lifeless body through Mtaani to his final resting place to bestow upon him a Mujahideen burial.
Mujahid Ruta’s execution while painful is an exemplary way to receive a Shahada as a Mujahid in East Africa. In spite of the obvious risk to his personal security, Mujahid Ruta chose to serve Allah first and fight the Kuffar courageously in three ‘area codes’ on behalf of the Ummah. For those that were fortunate to know Mujahid Ruta personally, we now understand his favourite phrase: “the rest is left to Allah”.
At this difficult and painful time for MYC, we ask the Mujahideen in Kenya and Tanzania to redirect their anger and obvious desire for revenge to love and support for the family of Mujahid Ruta. They have been denied a loving husband and father. Our duty now is to show and offer support to Mujahid Ruta’s family.
We ask Allah to accept Mujahid Ruta as a martyr.
