NOTE: The Caucasus Emirate’s media mouthpiece the Kavkaz Center discussed the issue of the official language of the Caucasus Emirate back in November too.
—
I want to stress again the importance of this issue. We should weigh all the pros and cons, and carefully examine the prospects of a solution, since this question is of strategic importance for the peoples of the Caucasus and our state.
There are advantages in the choice of Ottoman or Arabic language. The Arabic language is the language of the Holy Quran, the native language of Islam and its study is both necessity and obligation for the Muslims.
The Ottoman language is the language of the Ottoman Caliphate, which in 600 years of its existence had an enormous influence on the Caucasus, the Caucasian languages and the culture of our peoples.
For many centuries, the Ottoman Caliphate was the mainstay of the Islamic Ummah and Caucasian Muslims, and it left a deep mark on the consciousness of our peoples.
In our choice, we must take into account all the nuances of today’s situation, both in the Caucasus and the situation in the world which entered into a period of global instability and change.
Therefore, we must take into account not only cultural priorities, but also historical perspectives and political aspects in the light of rapidly changing political configurations in the geographic regions that are important for us.
I think that the discussion on the state language of the Caucasus Emirate should be expanded; suggestions, comments, and arguments must be systematically and carefully analyzed.
We have no doubt in our victory, and so today we must prepare for the arrangement of our state, as Allah commands. And Allah is sufficient for us as a protector, and He’s the best of the protectors!
I ask Allah, praise Him, the Most High, to forgive us our sins and mistakes that were made voluntary or involuntary, and ask Him to instruct us on the right path. He is One Knowledgeable and Experienced.
Allahu Akbar!

New statement from Jamā'at Sharī'at: "A warning from the Mujāhidīn of Khasavyurt"
NOTE: Jamā’at Sharī’at, is the largest jihādī groupin the Russian republic of Dagestan, North Caucasus. Jamā’at Sharī’at was established during the Second Chechen War. They were in favor of Dagestan’s independence as an Islamic state and are currently under the umbrella of the Caucasus Emirate, which is led by Dokku Umarov. The below statement is unedited in its original Russian version.

Front yard of the brothel “White Nights”, destroyed by the Mujahideen of the Khasavyurt Jamaat on January 14, 2011. |

Russian:
Владельцам злачных мест и их покровителям: танк для разрешения проблемы не понадобился
20.01.11 11:50
Хотим сообщить, что уничтожение развлекательного борделя “Белые ночи” несколько дней назад, а так же вчерашнее уничтожение супермаркета “Караван” является специальной военной акцией хасавюртовского джамаата ДФ.
Владельцы супермаркета “Караван” были неоднократно предупреждены, но они возгордились и высказывали смелые заявления. Как видите, танк для разрешения проблемы не понадобился.
Мы хотим предупредить простых жителей Хасавюрта – владельцев и посетителей таких злачных мест – подумайте о том, что любое место, где распространяют мерзость – вроде спиртного и проституток – является нашей законной целью – уничтожение которых вопрос только времени и рано или поздно они вкусят свое наказание прежде всего в этом мире, потом на том свете, иншааЛлах.
Мы так же напоминаем вас, что работа в таких заведениях является харамом и опасным для жизни и прежде чем пойти работать в такие злачные места подумайте семь раз, стоит ли оно того. А наш вам совет – не продавайте свою душу за копейки.
Один из хадисов гласит: «Вино – источник грехов. Тот, кто выпил вина, теряет разум. Он никого не уважает. Даже своих родных и близких, легко совершает дурные поступки. Дух веры и благочестия покидает его, дух мерзости и порочности вселяется в него. Его проклинает бог, ангелы, пророки и правоверные. Сорок дней его молитвы не будут услышаны. В день Страшного суда лицо его будет чёрным, язык – свисать изо рта, слюна – течь на грудь….».
Мы со всей ответственностью заявляем что работа будет продолжена и что мы руководствуемся Кораном и Сунной, а не по заказу каких-либо из людей – ваших конкурентов и попутчиков в огонь Ада.
Мы просим братьев не поддаваться слухам, которые распространяют наши недоброжелатели, что якобы мы берем деньги от врагов Аллаха – взамен на безопасность. Аллах не предлагает им безопасность и мы не можем им такое позволить ни за какие деньги.
Аллаху Акбар!

New statement from the Kavkaz-Jihād Blog: "Regarding the Jihādī media covering the Caucasus"
UPDATE 1/21 7:54 AM: Kavkaz-Jihād Blog updated the situation:
Our brothers from caucasusemirate.maktooblog announced that they are going to continue their publishing work trough the arabic Jihadi forums (no need to mention the names nor the urls, they are pretty well known). We ask Allah (swt) to reward them and to help them in their crucial task.
As for the albttaralsunni blog, from now on, the publication is stoped over there, for unspecified reasons and for an unspecified time.
However we have hope that Insha’Allah this will not stop the publication of arabic translations of medias reports from the Caucasus.Posted by Kavkaz-Jihad

Recently some of you may noticed that the arabic blog dedicated to the Caucasus: caucasusemirate.maktooblog is no longer available since more than a week. It has been removed by the ‘administation’ of the blog host: maktooblog.com (see in this regard the arabic statement here and in english here). It was a highly beneficial source of informations for our arabic speaking brothers. We want to remind that it was running perfectly during years so it’s rather strange to see it down only now. We hope that Insha’Allah our brothers from caucasusemirate.maktooblog will be able to come back as soon as possible, in another way or under another form. The other arabic blog covering the events of the region, albttaralsunni.blogspot is still working but not updated since few days.
In addition, Hunafa.com is also down since few days (it was up during a short while, yesterday but it’s down for now), those who follow it know that it has been targeted many times in the past, as well as KC. In this regard we want to express our support and our hope that Insha’Allah this important website come back soon. Insha’Allah this will not take long as its staff showed professionalism regarding these matters in the past. The others regular websites affiliated with the CE are currently working without problems.
It’s useless to speculate about who are behind these attacks (regarding Hunafa it could simply be some technical problems but it’s unlikely) and their motives. Those who are familiar with the Jihadi medias are aware and used to such ‘disagreements’. But the Jihadi medias proved many times that they were resilient and able to deal with such problems.
And Allah (swt) said:
«They want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah refuses except to perfect His light, although the disbelievers dislike it.» (Surat At-Tawbah : 32)
As for this blog, we will continue the humble work started some month ago, however due to certain constraint, the updates could no be regular as wished initially. We thank you in advance for you understanding. In order to fix this, we will probably require some help soon.

IslāmDīn Presents a New Video Statement from Amīr Zakarī of the South-West Sector of the Caucasus Emirate About the Elimination of Aṣlān Tsipinov
UPDATE 1/10 11:30AM: See Liz Fuller’s coverage of this for the Caucasus Report at RFE/RL.
—
NOTE: According to the Kavkaz-Jihād blog this was the reasoning behind his murder:
During the night of December 29, 2010, Aṣlān Tsipinov, a renowed ethnographer, has been killed in the village of Shalushka, in the Chegem sector of W. KBK. He was a Circassian nationalist and frequently criticized ‘the Islamic component of the Circassian culture.’ He was also promoting and propagating the local pre-islamic pagan customs. His execution has been decided by a Sharī’ah court and carried out by two Mujāhidīn.

New statement from the Caucasus Emirate Blog
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Alhamdulillah, who said in His granted book: (The Unbelievers say: “Listen not to this Qur’an, but talk at random in the midst of its (reading), that ye may gain the upper hand!”) 26 Surah Fussilat
And peace and blessings be upon the messenger of Allah (PBUH) who said about the poetry of Hassan bin Thabit: “It’s worst on them than arrows!”
We are sorry to inform you that on 2 Safar 1432 A.H. (2011-01-06) the Caucasus Emirate blog the administration of Maktoob deleted the blog, without any previous notification, which lead to the loss of all the data on it, ولا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله. Those cowards couldn’t attribute this act to them, but instead kept a phrase saying “the user chose to delete his blog, thus the information is no longer available” and Allah knows that they are lairs. And we found that we were not the first ones to be exposed to this coward act.
We say to those cowards that this won’t prevent us from continuing our support for the mujahedeen in the Caucasus by media, and our property, and blood, if Allah allows us to do so. We will continue our translation of the mujahedeen publications to Arabic, Insha’Allah, and it’s the least that we can do for our mujahedeen in the Caucasus.
O’Allah make what was published on the Caucasus Emirate blog in our good deeds on the day of judgment.
اللهم اجرنا في مصيبتنا واخلفنا خيراً منها
ولا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله
