New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: "Regarding Insult Of The Great Prophet Of Islam In America"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

 

Shawwal 24, 1433 A.H, Wednesday, September 12, 2012
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan condemns with the strongest of words insult towards the great Prophet of Islam, Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (SAW), perpetrated in a screening in an American cinema with the authorization of its government. Since America declared its open war on Islam eleven years ago, it has repeatedly and on various intervals insulted the inviolable sanctums of Islam. Such revolting actions are not acts of individuals but rather are activities done with the approval or even directly by the government.
We, as the staunch defenders of Islam, make it very clear to the American regime as well as its rebellious transgressing individuals that such actions will not bring you any closer to your malicious goals but vice-versa; it shall further unveil the true satanic face of your government especially to the Muslims and will drive the Muslim world to communally respond with an appropriate reaction.
The bestial natured America has violated the religious, ideological, national and cultural sanctums of various countries and nations in its dark history and has allowed such irresponsible acts to flourish in its country therefore the international community and specifically the Muslim nations and countries should join hands and create an unbreakable alliance against this common enemy in order quickly respond to these evil elements with an appropriate and stern reaction and to contain these gross offences.
The Islamic Emirate also calls on all its Mujahideen to stand firm against all the violations against our heavenly book (Quran), Prophet and other sanctums perpetrated by the invading America. The Mujahideen in Afghanistan should avenge these actions of the American government by dealing a heavy blow to its invading troops on the battlefield. Similarly, the Islamic Emirate calls on all of the religious scholars of the country to fully inform the masses about such barbaric acts of America in their sermons and to prepare them for a lengthy struggle.

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: "On The Eleventh Anniversary Of The September Incident"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

 

Shawwal 21, 1433 A.H, Sunday, September 09, 2012
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

It has now been eleven years since oppression was unleashed upon the miserable Afghan people and fire lit in our homeland at the hands of America under the disguise of retaliation for the September incident. The anniversary of 9/11 is approaching America this year at a time when it is facing utter defeat in Afghanistan militarily, politically, economically and in all other facets and it has exhausted all other means through which to prolong its illegal war. The war declared on Muslims and Islam by America eleven years ago under this pretext has with the divine help of Allah (SWT) lost all its power and the criminal warmongers are fleeing the battle ground one after the other. Although the blood of hundreds of Afghans was shed by this illegal and unjust crusade however the invading Americans and its deluded-by-propaganda coalition was also handed unequivocal defeat and thousands of their troops were killed. The oppressed but valiant Afghan nation, in defense of their country and religion, proved through their sacred struggle and Jihad that the invasion under pretext of retaliation for the September incident has no legal or ethical bases. Every action that you take in this path only displays your brutality, oppression, savagery and arrogance because the Afghans have had no hand in the 9/11 incident and neither have you been able to provide any legitimate or logical proofs. Your presence in Afghanistan under this illegal pretext is the reason for the unrest in this entire region and is related directly to the insecurity, political and military problems faced by America and her ensnared allies. Despite America spending large amounts of military and economical assets under the title of homeland security and murdering thousands of its soldiers by the hands of Afghans however no American is safe in any society today rather they are discriminated against in every country and region and everyone considers it their right to kill them! since they have oppressed all and have endangered the security of the entire world for their own advancement. The Islamic Emirate, on the eleventh anniversary of the September incident, once again calls upon the American officials, its coalition members and its people to halt shedding the blood of the oppressed Afghans under this pretext and to follow the path of sound reasoning instead of tyranny and stupidity. Availing this moment, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan once again clarifies to the entire world including America that we are neither a threat to anyone nor will we let our soil be used to harm anyone. It is our due legal and religious right to defend our homeland and establish in it an Islamic system and we shall continue with our sacred struggle and Jihad against the invaders until we attain this right and we sincerely believe in being victorious in achieving this ambition and defeating the enemy.

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: "Regarding America Using the Name of the Conjured Entity the ‘Haqqani Network’ and Its Black Listing"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin


Anyone who has ever taken lawful action against and rejected the ambitions of America’s imperialistic policies then they have always become targets of the America’s satanic plots and satanic actions. In continuation of this trend, a self-created network attributed to the honorable Afghan Jihadi personality, Mawlawi Jalaluddin Haqqani, was inscribed into the black list despite there being no separate entity or network in Afghanistan by the name of Haqqani.
The honorable Mawlawi Jalaluddin Haqqani is a member of the Leadership Council of Islamic Emirate and is a close, loyal and trusted associate of the esteemed Amir-ul-Mumineen and those Mujahideen entrusted under the command of his sons are in fact the heroic Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate who like other Mujahideen strictly obey the esteemed Amir-ul-Mumineen and wage Jihad against the invaders throughout the country.
By employing its satanic plot, America is trying to create and black list a separate entity in the organized and unified rank of Islamic Emirate while its biased media expound the same narrative however this is nothing out of the ordinary in the dark history of these invaders. This evident plot has been for years running into failure and America has repeatedly faced hopelessness in achieving her malicious intention. That is why the enemy is reaching out to these failed experiments instead seeking resolution to the real problem. America should understand that it is further provoking the anger of the Muslims against herself with such actions and all the negative consequence of this inhumane and criminal action against the Islamic Emirate will fall squarely on the shoulders of deceitful America and others implicated in this process.
The Islamic Emirate does not place any value in the black and white lists of the enemy even though these ineffective pronouncements began some fourteen years ago. Many of the high ranking officials of Islamic Emirate including the honorable Haqqani Sahib have been enlisted in this or that list however it has not effected our struggle negatively one bit neither has it yielded the desired result and neither will it in the future therefore this latest announcement will also be ineffective and the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan strongly condemns it.
The Islamic Emirate does not have any trade agreements with any American companies or individuals and neither does it have monetary funds there which could be frozen. This cowardly act of yours in which you enter Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate into your so-called black list is indicative of your complete defeat and dismay. This step will never weaken the determination of our nation and Mujahideen but it shall further strengthen them and its bitter and heavy burden shall hang from the neck of America.

بسم الله الرحمــن الرحيم

قال تعالى: (فَمَنِ اعْتَدَى عَلَيْكُمْ فَاعْتَدُوا عَلَيْهِ بِمِثْلِ مَا اعْتَدَى عَلَيْكُمْ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الْمُتَّقِينَ).
وقال تعالى: (فَإِذَا انْسَلَخَ الأَشْهُرُ الحُرُمُ فَاقْتُلُوا المُشْرِكِينَ حَيْثُ وَجَدْتُمُوهُمْ وَخُذُوهُمْ وَاحْصُرُوهُمْ).

تعلن كتائب الشيخ الأسير عمر عبدالرحمــن مسؤوليتها عن إستهداف مقر ووكر البعثة الأمريكية في مدينة بنغازي.
حيث مكن الله لثلة من المجاهدين البواسل التابعين لكتائب الشيخ الأسير عمر عبدالرحمــن من زرع عبوة ناسفة في جدار المبنى كانت تستهدف جمع من النصارى المشرفين على إدارة القنصليه ، والذين كانوا يعدون لإستقبال أحد رؤوس الفتنة التابع لوزارة الخارجية الأمريكية ، ولقد أسفرت هذه العملية عن إصابة عدد من الحراس وتدمير أحد جدران المبنى ، ولم يتسنى لنا معرفة عدد القتلى أو الجرحى في صفوف النصارى.

– تعتبر هذه العملية ردا على محاولة إستهداف الشيخ أبويحيى الليبي – حفظه الله-
– وردا على تعكير صفو سماء ليبيا من قبل الطائرات بدون طيار التابعة للقوات الأمريكية.
– لقد تم تصوير العملية وسوف يتم نشرها قريبا.

وأخيرا وليس أخرا نقول لأمريكا وأعداء الإسلام ” لن تحلموا بالأمن والأمآن مالم نعيشه واقعا في ديار المسلمين “

والسلام على من اتبع الهدى
