New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: "Regarding the Recent American Accusations"


In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful

With the uptick in the thunderous strikes by the Mujahideen Islamic Emirate, the American officials have once again embarked on a mission in a confused and puzzled state to keep the ordinary minds busy in order to temporarily hide or explain their ignominious defeat. In this connection they want to attribute the decisive and staggering attacks by Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate to the neighboring country of Pakistan and similarly want to depict disunity in the ranks of Islamic Emirate, from which it desires to gain the following:
  1. America wants to depict the strength of Islamic Emirate as feeble and attribute its attacks to others.
  2. Due to American officials and especially General Petreaus repeatedly lying and feeding wrong information to its nation about them having the upper hand in the Afghan situation, now that these false claims are unraveling, it has compelled them to suggest an intervention from Pakistan. This is because they have supposedly weakened the Afghan resistance so these new attacks are from Pakistan’s intervention!?
  3. This years operation by Islamic Emirate christened as ‘Badr’ have been so successful that a lot of the members from the occupying coalition forces have reached a conclusion that they cannot win this war and are contemplating removing their forces as swiftly as possible and in this regard are also facing pressure form their people. So America wants to show them that the internal situation of Afghanistan is under control and this current resistance is being supported by Pakistan hence if they put pressure on Pakistan and stop this intervention then the situation will come under control and in this way they also want to deceive the members in its coalition for a bit longer.
  4. America, through its lies wants to spread the mentality that one of Jihad’s prominent personalities and a member of Islamic Emirate’s Leadership Council, Al Hajj Maulawi Jalaluddin Haqqani is a separate force and is tied to others. On the one hand, they want to show Mujahideen as disunified and on the other; they want to give a bad name to our prominent figures by tying them to foreign intelligence.
  5. America wants to spread chaos in Pakistan through various means, weaken its government and make it dependent upon them. That is why it is trying to make this government collide with its citizens and with this excuse, make them fight each other to show that there is what they like to call terrorist sanctuaries there.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan once again wants to propagate to the world that Islamic Emirate is at its strongest and unified more than it has been at any other stage. It is also enjoying the vast support and backing of its nation and has control over more than half the regions of Afghanistan. Neither are our bases in Pakistan nor do we need residence outside of our country in uncertain conditions. All the military and civilian activities in the country are our own initiatives and our own actions. The respected Maulawi Jalaluddin Haqqani is Islamic Emirate’s honorable and dignified personalities and receives all guidance for operations from the leader of Islamic Emirate. In our view, instead of baseless accusations, more casualties and a constant attempt to conceal losses and failures, it would be better for America and her allies to put an end to the occupation of Afghanistan as quickly as possible and do now what must inevitably be done. Regarding the ongoing situation we must tell our Believing and Mujahid Afghan nation that they should not lend an ear to the enemy’s baseless accusations and propaganda. Like how the nation already knows that against the American idol, our nearing victory Jihad is a pure Islamic and national Jihad just like the rest of our struggle for independence. Attributing it to others are only satanic designs and a maneuver to bring about a climate of mistrust. Our nation which is not indebt to anyone in our struggle for independence except for Allah’s divine victory should be proud of its independent leaders and gallant Mujahideen and should strengthen them even more with their lives and wealth. Our advice to the people of Pakistan and its government is that it should deliberate on America’s two faced and implacable politics. It should always give precedence to its Islamic and National interests and they should have a firm belief that America will never be happy with them until they loot all their material and moral assets.

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: "On the Tenth Anniversary of 9/11"


Each year, the 9/11 reminds the Afghans of an event in which they had no role whatsoever, but, using this as a pretext and a clout, the American colonialism shed blood of tens of thousands of miserable and innocent Afghans. Still the atrocity has been continuing. Then it happened in a time that the Afghans had freshly floundered out of the vortex of a two decades-long war and were buoyed up by the newly-emerged vista of an Islamic regime.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, from the outset, has been calling for an impartial investigation into the event but, contrarily, the Americans and their coalition partners, far from positively responding to this rationale demand of the Islamic Emirate, are sending cruise missiles, poisonous and depleted uranium embedded weapons instead.
It will remain a permanent stigma on the face of the Western democracy that America and her Allies martyred tens of thousands of Muslims under the pretext of this ambiguous and murky event. Children, old men, women and even infant of a few days are among the victims. They destroyed our villages, orchards, standing plantations and even townships under the unjustified name of war on terror. Even now, the Americans and their Allies kill innocent Afghans through blind bombardments and night raids. They have been keeping thousands of Afghans in detention at Guantanamo, Bagram and Kandahar prisons and at Shindand, Nangarhar, Mazar-i-sharif, Khust and other bases where they are brutally tortured. Tens of best sons of this land have breathed their last under torture.
All these anti-human crimes are being perpetrated by those who claim being pioneers and leaders of democracy and advocates of human rights in the world. But notwithstanding their arrogance and brutalities, this also should be borne in mind that the Afghans as a proud honor-loving and principle-abiding people, have dealt such a jaw-breaking blow at the American tyrants that it was absolutely beyond their calculations and predictions. They are now biting their fingers of grief and worry.
The Afghans are armed with the weapon of belief and have infatuation with protecting their honor and dignity. Such weapon is neither available in the arsenal of America nor in the warehouse of her Allies. Likewise, the enemy has no deterrent to confront this weapon.
We believe the weapon of belief will ultimately overcome over that of the material prowess, if God willing. Furthermore, we urge all concerned circles of the world to press on the war-mongering American colonialist rulers to desist from gobbling down our land and natural resources under the so-called unjustified name of terrorism, nor they should shed the pure blood of the Afghans any more in order to obtain their colonialist goals. Otherwise, the Afghans have an endless stamina for a long war and, perceivably through a country-wise uprising, will send the Americans to the dustbin of the history like they did send other empires of the past to such a destination.

New analysis from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: "The Martyrdom of Shaykh Usāmah Will Not Benefit America"


The Americans are claiming that their special forces martyred Sheik Osama bin Laden, the founder and leader of Al-qaeda in Pakistan on May 2.They say that they placed his body in the sea after taking custody of it during the raid.
Americans and other countries that have been waging a crusade against the Islamic Ummah for the past decade and are partners in the occupation of the Islamic lands of Afghanistan and Iraq,
once again showed their enmity and spite against Islam by martyring Sheikh Osama and expressing jubilation over his demise. They called his martyrdom a landmark victory of their crusade.
No doubt, Sheikh Osama was a skyscraper of bravery, a dedicated supporter of the Islamic Ummah and a sword of magnanimity of Muslims against the invading unbelievers. He spent a great part of his life for the defense of the Islamic Ummah, striving to deliver the Muslims lands from the claws of the infidels and gain freedom. He offered unprecedented sacrifices in this cause. He and his steadfast Mujahideen and colleagues struggled tirelessly in the way of independence of the first Qibla of the Muslims ( the Baitul Moqadas), Palestine, Afghanistan, Iraq and other Islamic lands which are occupied by the invading infidels. This is to mention a few of the services he rendered in the way of Islam and Jihad. He laid foundation of strongholds of the invincible struggle and Jihad and continued with the task of rearing, training, enlighterening and equipping Mujahideen. The Islamic Ummah will neither forget the struggle of this great Mujahid nor his unwavering stance against falsehood and arrogance in the way of realization of truth.
The invading Americans and coalition of the crusade should not think that their wicked war against the Islamic Ummah will triumph or weakness will permeate the ranks of Jihad of the Muslims. They should know that, throughout the history, the proud leaders of the Islamic Ummah have left behind a sacred and honorable legacy of Jihadic thoughts and determination to the emerging generations of the Ummah that they will not falter as a result of martyrdom, removal and nomination of personalities.
As long as the invading infidels are bent on continuing their colonialist ambitions against the Islamic Ummah, until then, every committed son of the Ummah who has wake conscience and feeling will keep on protecting the Islamic values and sovereignty. Therefore, the martyrdom of Sheikh Osama will not benefit the Americans.
The Americans and their puppets should know from the spirit and tenacity of the operations launched by the Mujahideen in Afghanistan under the name of Badre, which are now in full swing all over the country, particularly, they should know from the steadfastness and persistence of the three-days long operations in the provincial center of Kandahar and adjacent localities, that how superior morale the Mujahideen are having. By now they must have understood that the martyrdom of Sheik Osama has no impact on the Jihadic determination of Mujahideen.
The Afghans will not forget the sacrifices and struggle of Sheikh Osama, this great patron of Islam, who fought shoulder to shoulder with the Afghans against the former Soviet Union as well as his services in terms of equipping Mujahideen and sponsoring families of the martyrs.
To end, we strongly believe that the Almighty Allah will open up a vista of light for the Islamic Ummah through the blessings of the pure and sacred blood of Sheikh Osama and other thousands of martyrs.
Afghanistan and all Islamic countries now under occupation of the infidels will find emancipation and an Islamic reign will usher in, if God willing.

New analysis from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: "David Petraeus Failed to Deliver As Well"


It seems, the four-star general of the Afghanistan war, David Petraeus who is regarded as a hero of the American army and a tower of hopes of that country, crumbled, faced fiasco and being forced to leave Afghanistan.
David Petraeus assumed the slot of the top general in Afghanistan, following Mc Crystal mocking American high-ranking officials in an interview given to the Rolingstone journal. Obama put pressure on Mc Crystal to step down and replaced him with David Petraeus.
Though the sources close to David Petraeus claim that he leaves his post at his own will but experts and the ground realities indicate that he leaves the country because of the humiliation and seatbacks he is facing in his mission; and due to the fact that America is entangled in the war of Afghanistan ever more; the American troops casualties have comparably spiraled up many times; the country is grappling with financial melt-down and the American image as a murderer and criminal has been exposed to the world and to the Afghan people because of the mass murder of civilians committed by the American troops. It should be said that the killing of common people was Petraeus strategy in the first place.
The Obama Administration was predicting that it will keep the war machine running which had almost broken down, if they send general Petraeus to Afghanistan— the army man who had been made larger-than-life figure by hypes of the American information machine network. They thought that they would defeat the Mujahideen; would expand the writ of the Kabul Puppet Administration and would pave the way for realization of American anti-Islamic and ani-Afghan ambitions. But during the past year, though the general resorted to perpetrating brutalities, using both muscles and ploys but obtained nothing. Contrarily, Mujahideen’s writ extended to areas where they had had no influence during the past nine years. They were able to launch attacks against those sensitive centers, both foreign and internal, that they never imaged of before that. Among the hundred of such examples, we can mention a few like, the attacks in the Ministry of Defense, and the Air Corp of the Kabul Puppet Regime and the jailbreak in Kandahar.
According to a survey published by Western media outlets at the end of the last year, the Mujahideen had launched 18,000 attacks during 2010 while the year was not ended completely.
If we divide that number by 12 months, we will have 50 attacks every day at average. If we presume that only one foreign soldier has been killed in 3 attacks, then the casualties counts would reach 6,000 soldiers dead. However, in general, there are usually more foreign soldiers casualties during any single attack. These are some of the prominent indicators of the frustrated and failed mission of David Petraeus.
The main focus of Petraeus in Afghanistan has been to flare up tribal, lingual, geographical and religious differences and frictions so that Afghanistan will divide by ethnicity and the thread of its national unity will unfurl. But the Almighty Allah foiled this diabolic scheme of Petreaus. Mujahideen took the sparks of jihad to every corner of Afghanistan during the term of Petreaus posting. The strongholds of Jihad became active in the north like they are in other parts of the country. This proved that Afghanistan is a single entity, enjoying unbreakable coordination and bondage.
The other dangerous schemes of Petraeus were the formation of Arbakis and local militias. Thus he wanted to create rifts between the Mujahideen and the common people. But the Afghan people were aware of the consequences of this wicked plan. They are still remembering the bitter memories of the past communist regime. So they decisively foiled this devilish conspiracy and a strong reaction of the Afghan masses came to the open.
The American sources may ascribe Petraeus transfer to his poor health, or that he is suffering from cancer or he is going to be appointed as chairman of the European Union or that he is a pick for chairmanship of CIA, the diabolic network. Though, he may be appointed to one of these slots, but we believe, the real cause for his transfer is that, this key figure of Pentagon, a general emblazoned with so many medals and stars is that he clearly failed to deliver the good. He has faced humiliation, bearing multi-facet stigmas on his face. Therefore, Pentagon and the White House had to remove him as he was adding to the already accumulated humiliation. The powers-that-be in American will replace him by another snowman to keep the attention of the public of the West engaged for some time.

New statement from Abū al-Walīd al-Maṣrī [Muṣṭafā Ḥāmid]: “Dialogue With Sayf al ‘Adl, Installment #2: We Are the Chessboard, Second Move- The United States on the Track of the Soviets”

Shamūkh al-Islām Arabic Forum features new article from online jihādī Abū Usāmah al-Kūbī [Cuban]: "America: Truce or Overthrow"

UPDATE 4/19 9:22 AM: Here is an English translation of the below message from Dār al-Murābiṭīn Publications:

In the name of Allah the most gracious, the most mercifulPraise is to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds and peace and blessings of Allah on the truthful and trustworthy, and on his family and companions. To proceed The countdown to the ceasefire began with the American declaration of its withdrawal from Afghanistan the next year. It tried to hasten its withdrawal in the shade of the national uprisings but Europe was defiant in the matter and forced it to get involved against the danger of the grandsons of Umar Al Mukhtar that is closer to Europe and which has started representing the first danger on Europe and the West due to the closeness of lofty Algeria from the area of the conflict in which various kinds of weapons are available in abundance. And this is what has made America leave its interests in the Gulf in spite of what is happening in Bahrain which hosts the largest American base in the area, and what is happening on its grounds of the Rafidi uprising who they portray to be the enemies of America while actually they are allies and then instead of it, the Saudi puppet moved to cover the gap of America at a time which is supposed to be the most crucial in the rule of the family of Saud and that is the time before their fall by the will of Allah And this gives clear indications that the security situation in Europe is important to America in the highest degree, instead it gives it precedence over its own external interests example the oil of the gulf, and had it not been for the financial, political and military support of Europe to America, then America would not have been capable of staying in Afghanistan until now And if the ‘lone lion’s’ jihad is setup now in Europe then America will fall before the end of the year by the will of Allah, and then its accepting the ceasefire will be of no use Also, the Arabian peninsula and Yemen specifically, have started equaling Libya in danger on Europe in fact on the whole world, and this is what has made America withdraw from Libya and look at Yemen extensively and is forcing its embassy in Sanaa to contain the protests and speed the end of the situation and transfer the rule to the new agents, through who they want to console the nation. For al Qaida has become the first substitute by the will of Allah and especially from the south to Sa’dah And this is the front that will make America fall by the help of Allah, wherein, the incapacity of the Pentagon this year is a hundred million dollars and it will be forced to enter this front and it is the final trap, Allah willing. And it pushed its agent Saudi, to Aden so that it becomes its substitute on the land and they occupy the air with their aircraft and this proves the military and financial weakness of America and these two components are the components of power and success. And if Iran starts the war on Saudi Arabia, then Saudi Arabia will withdraw from Aden and leave America alone and they will also withdraw from Bahrain on the soil of which, Saudi Arabia wants to finalize the war with the Rafidah. And America wants to break Saudi Arabia along with it so that it is easy for Iran and its allies in the region to destroy Saudi Arabia quickly before there is an organized Jihadi assembly on the land of the two Holy Sanctuaries that aids the Jihad in Yemen and Iraq and Somalia and this is the great danger on America and the West but they will suffer it forcefully. And what is our role, we, the allies of Jihad and the Mujahedeen? First: Intensifying the call to Jihad and inciting people to it. Second: Clarifying the false flags and warning people against them and specially the youth of jihad so that what happened to some of those who appear being connected to jihad in Yemen like Abu Asim alAhdal and others who went together to who is known as the Participant “Mushtarik” who is gathering the thrown out, outcasts from the democratic brotherhood members calling for rectification in Yemen and with them the Huwaithis and others from the people of falsehood and this is because of their ignorance of Tawheed and Jihad. And we should not forget that the governments will try to start jihad and there will be flags it will raise and it will have scholars of evil who will aid them, so clarifying the flags is important in the coming phase. Third: Media, financial and military preparation and directing the human units towards the battlefields to cover the deficiency in them. Fourth: The exchange of information and experiences and filling of the Jihadi sites with information that is important for the mujahedeen in the battlefields. Fifth: We should carry the responsibility of this Great War which shall bring together the Christians and Rafidah and their followers against the people of Islam. O Allah we ask you guidance and correct direction O Allah grant victory to the mujahedeen in your way everywhere O Allah be for our brothers in the peninsula a support and aid Abu Asmaa al Kubi Jamadi Al Ula 4

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: "Unquestionably, Hands of American Rulers Behind the Crime of the Holy Qur'ān Burning"


Some international media outlets reported on the evening of Friday last that Terry Jones, pastor at a church in Gaineville, Florida set fire to a copy of the Holy Quran on Tuesday after a fake trial. According to this Satan, the Holy Quran teaches murder and terrorism in
the world. This devilish American pastor had been threatening for the last six months persistently that he would burn hundreds of copies of the Holy Quran on September 11.
The American media outlets like their rulers stayed completely silent as regards this inhumane and wicked action. They neither published commentaries about this evil act nor showed any reaction thereabout. Only a limited number of Muslims in New York condemned the crime of the pastor during a demonstration. They said,  the event of burning a copy of the Holy Quran indicates that the Obama Administration is indifferent to the cause of protection of the religious beliefs and values of the Muslims. Contrarily, the Administration  acquiesces in allowing him to desecrate Islamic rituals and  the sacrosanct.
Though the American rulers say,  the burning of the Holy Quran falls under the category of freedom of speech but the question arises if a Muslim reacts to the bestial step of Terry Jones in a self-same manner, then would the American rulers and media tolerate it under the rules of the freedom of speech and would they  remain silent? Or  rather that the Americans including the rulers, politicians, religious followers and media of the West  will simultaneously, run a mock and refer the case to the Security Council and the United Nations?
Terry Jones, pastor of Gaineville church in Florida, USA, has  burnt a  copy of the Holy Quran in a time that the Americans ironically  consider it as a cause of 9/11 and have already invaded Afghanistan and Iraq under the  said pretext. They shed blood of hundreds of thousands of innocent Muslims and even have recently turned to killing and oppressing the Libyans Muslims. So we can say, the hostility of the pastor and his anti-Islamic crime is not limited to his person but is a comprehensive anti-Islamic plan being implemented with the volition and consent of  the White House. Hundreds of times, we have seen abhorrent instances of blasphemy at the hands of  the Americans soldiers in Guantanamo, Abu Gharib and Bagram prisons, desecrating the Holy Quran and other Islamic tenets.
While we strongly condemn the crime of the  burning  of the Holy Quran by the American pastor Terry Jones, meanwhile,  we say there are hands and help of the American rulers behind this evil and despicable deed of the pastor. He had been threatening for months to carry out this sinful action and  the American rulers were fully aware of his intention.
To end, we call on the Islamic Ummah, not to remain indifferent in face of this contemptible action of the enemies of Islam. Shake up and put pressure on rulers of your countries to come out of the cocoon of hesitation and vacillation and raise the issue of the Holy Quran burning at world level.

New statement from Zabīhullah Mujāhid of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: "Clarification Regarding the Recent Assertions of the American General Petreaus"


General David Petraeus, top commander of NATO forces in Afghanistan, has returned to Washington to find answer to  questions and growing resentments of  American people and Congress regarding the War of Afghanistan.
According to an opinion poll published recently in The  Washington Post, a famous American daily, about two third of Americans   have no  confidence in the war of Afghanistan, considering it a fruitless mission. Similarly, hot debates are in full swing in the American Congress about the war expenditure in Afghanistan– reaching to the tune of billions of dollars.
Congressmen like the American people want to know, do these fruitless efforts deserve the  huge expenditure? General Petraeus, who is in charge of the war in Afghanistan,  tried at the  premises of the American Congress the other day during a hearing to give the Congressmen a spurious optimism.  He said, though the Americans have been  hearing about setbacks but there are some gains in the war of Afghanistan. These gains must be protected. General Petraeus  emphasized on  this point both during meeting with  the American President Obama and  American media, saying there were tangible advancements in the war. May be,  he was pointing to operations by the American troops in some areas in south Afghanistan in the past  recent months. We would like to say about the remarks of Petraeus that he is trying once again to give deceptive assurances to American people about the war of Afghanistan and quid pro quo, get  some  time and money for further prolongation of the war. However,  if we look at the ground realities in the country,  there is nothing to be called gains of the American troops. Not only they are losing the rural areas but also have become targets of effective attacks of Mujahideen in cities.
In the near past, the operation of Kandahar was one of the greatest ever carried out by the Americans. The Americans had had huge casualties  being unprecedented in terms of loss. They are still smarting from their casualties. Though, the Americans destroyed whole villages and vineyards of people in some areas of Kandahar and afterward,  built military bases there. Despite that, they were not able to wipe out  the writ of Mujahideen. The Mujahideen  are present in the areas and have blocked all ways and roads leading to the American bases. With the passage of every day, they  lay further blockades to the invaders.
 
Another project of Pettaeus was the training of the Afghan hireling forces to rely on themselves in terms of quality and quantity. This is also a failed effort. High ranking officials of the Kabul regime openly complain that no progress has been made in the way of boosting the hireling Afghan forces, and even it is not expected that the target could  be achieved during the next five years,  to put the forces  in a position to defend themselves on their own.
The common Afghans have rejected the Arbaki program launched by General Petraeus.  However, it is operational in a few areas, that too, with  a very low  capability. Contrarily, the Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate enjoy a high morale and warfare spirit. The Mujahideen continued their military operations successfully in this winter, and did not  let the enemy to take a breath of relief. Moreover, the martyrdom-seeking Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate have carried out effective attacks against the enemy in various parts of the country, sending a jittery through the ranks of the enemy.
The Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate continue their armed Jihad against the enemy, enjoying a high morale. They have the initiative of  the battle in their hands, being always in the aggressive position while the enemy is retreating from or evacuating their bases in many areas in the country as the have  withdrawn from Pech Valley. Thus  they flee the areas.
I would like to point out my opinion about  the assertions of Petraeus. Let’s sum up the results and the losses. The Americans had launched one of their greatest operations in Gerisk  district of Helmand province. It continued for one month. According to a survey conducted by Mujahideen, the Americans lost 54 tanks and armed vehicles as a result of road side bombs and attacks. But after the end of the operation, the situation did not change. The status quo is the same as before. The Americans went back to their bases after suffering huge casualties and losses. The Mujahideen are in control of the area. The same is the fate of other operations conducted by the forces of General Petraeus. It is very surprising that despite that,  the general tauts these failures as military gains.
Like the American people, two-third of whom believe this war is  fruitless war, the Islamic Emirate too believes that the current war of Afghanistan will bring in nothing for the Americans except defeat. We have faith in our God and believe, this legitimate Jihad of the Afghan people will ultimately result in the complete rout of the invaders. The surge and prolongation of the war will only add to financial loss and military casualties of America. Nothing more than that, if God willing.
