Now your children, daughters and sisters will die, just like our brothers, sisters, and children.
Our actions will speak louder than words. As long as you don’t stop your war against Islam, mocking the Prophet, and your stupid support for the Pig Vilks.
Now it’s time to strike, don’t wait any longer. Come forward with whatever you’ve got, even if it’s only a knife. I know you’ve got more coming up.
Don’t fear anybody, don’t fear anyone.
Apologies to my family: I never went to the Middle East for work or to make money. I went for jihad.

New statement from the Islamic State of Iraq [al-Qā’idah in Iraq]: "Regarding the Recent Lies of the Green Zone Government"

NOTE: This new statement from the Islamic State in Iraq is in response to the recent news reports that the Iraqi government has arrested 39 members of AQI. The ISI disputes this claim and suggests it is false and that the Iraqi government is trying to patch up the failings and setbacks they have had against the ISI.

{وَيَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُمْ عَلَى شَيْءٍ أَلا إِنَّهُمْ هُمُ الْكَاذِبُونَ}[المجادلة: من الآية18].  الحمد لله ربّ العالمين، والصلاة والسلام على نبيّنا محمّد، وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين… وبعد: زعم إعلامُ السّفهاء لحكومة المنطقة الخضراء قبل أيّام، إلقاء القبض على من وصفتهم بأنّهم “أخطر خليّة إرهابيّة في بغداد”، وكعادتهم في التّرقيع لفشل أجهزتهم الأمنيّة الخائبة وتلميع صورتها بعد النّكسات المستمرّة التي لحقت بها، خلعت على هؤلاء ألقاباً ومسمّياتٍ، ثمّ جعلتهم المسئولين عن أغلب العمليّات التي أحالت خططهم الأمنيّة في بغداد هشيماً تذروه رياح كتائب التّوحيد. ونحنُ إذ نُعلن أنّ هذا الخبر عارٍ عن الصّحة تماماً، فإنّنا ندعو هؤلاء السّفهاء لأن يحترموا عقول النّاس، خاصّة بعد إعلانهم المتكرّر عن أسرِ المسئولين عن تلك العمليّات، وإن كان عشرةٌ من “الإرهابيّين” أو دون ذلك –كما زعموا- استطاعوا أن يزلزلوا الأرض تحت أقدامهم في بغداد، فكيف بالعشرات من أمثال هؤلاء، أو المئات؟ فكيف إن كانوا ألوفاً؟، وصدق إمام المُجاهدين صلّى الله عليه وسلّم القائل: (نُصرْت بالرّعبِ؛ فيرعبُ منّي العدوّ عنْ مسيرةِ شهر).
