Interesting new post in the Anṣār al-Mujāhidīn English Forum about media

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

NOTE: I’m surprised this jihobbyist omitted al-Fajr Media. Also, by highlighting Somali languages below it shows how important the Somali theater has become in the Global Jihadist War.

Salaam Alaykom Wa rahmatolahi wa barakatuh ya Ansar Al-Mujahideen,

We all know that the mujahideen are fighting two wars at the same time. The Mujahideen are fighting the crusaders/apostates on the battlefield and in the media.
The media of today, with their satellite channels and their writers, agents, and poets are carrying out the most horrible defamation campaign against Islam since he, peace be upon him, was chosen to be the Prophet. They are directing their spears and swords towards what they call the global Salafi-Jihadi movement, which is attacking the centre of their homes, and the axis of their power, and is the biggest threat to them and the state of the Zionists. It is against it: the Islamic caliphate.
Allah, the Almighty says, “Truly, Allah defends those who Believe. (22:38)

We can make it easier for our brothers if we help them with uploading videos from news agency’s.
Aljazeera Arabic
Aljazeera English
CNN
CBS
AP
Reuters
BBC
etc….
The brothers/sisters who understand URDU/Pushtu language, please upload videos that are related to jihad and breaking news stories…

The brothers/sisters who understand Arabic language, please upload videos that are related to jihad and breaking news stories…

The brothers/sisters who understand Somali language, please upload videos that are related to jihad and breaking news stories…

ETC…..

There is no good in us, if we are too lazy to help our brothers in the jihad Media!

The Prophet, peace be upon him, has said: “There will be a time when nations will be on the verge of calling one another to attack you, as people call on one another to a plate of food.” A Companion asked, “O Messenger of Allah! Is it because we will be few then?” He replied, “No. You will rather be many and will be in multitude like the scum floating on flood waters. Fear of you will be removed from the hearts of your enemies, and fear of them will be put in your hearts.” Another Companion asked, “What is the cause of this?” He answered, “Love for this worldly life and the hatred of death“

Was salaam Alaykom,

The poor servant of Allah

As-Saḥāb released a new video of Abū Yaḥyā al-Lībī mourning the death of the Islamic State of Iraq's former senior leaders: "Blood of our Commanders, Fuel of our Battle"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

NOTE: As-Saḥāb (“The Clouds”) Foundation for Islamic Media Publication released a new video of Abū Yaḥyā al-Lībī mourning the death of the Islamic State of Iraq’s former senior leaders: “Blood of our Commanders, Fuel of our Battle.” Abū Yaḥyā al-Lībī is considered one of the top leaders within the al-Qā’idah organization (AQSL). He has also been touted as a possible replacement to ‘Usāmah Bin Lāden. Al-Lībī started to gain notoriety and respect within thejihādī community after he broke out of the Bagram Airbase prison facility in 2005. It was also reported this past December that a drone killed al-Lībī, but it ended up being Ṣāleḥ al-Ṣūmālī instead.

As-Saḥāb releases video message by Usāmah Bin Lāden addressed to the American people

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

NOTE: As-Saḥāb (“The Clouds”) Foundation for Islamic Media Publication officially released a video message of Usāmah Bin Lāden speaking to the American people. It was first aired on al-Jazeera TV back in March. The main highlights of the video include:

“My message is about the captives that you have taken from us. Your friend in the White House [President Barack Obama] has been following the footsteps of his predecessor [President George W. Bush] in many important issues, such as escalating the war in Afghanistan and unjustly treating our people that you took as captives.”
Bin Laden threatened to murder anyone they captured if the United States kills Khāled Shaykh Moḥammed.
