New Fatwā from Shaykh al-Khaṭīb al-Baghdādī of Minbar at-Tawḥīd wa'l-Jihād: "Is the Killing of Innocent People in Irāq Right? And Has the Words Jihād and Islām Become a Symbol of Terrorism?"

New statement from Khālid Bin Sayf al 'Adl: "To My Brothers, the Great Egyptian Youth: A Tribute of Admiration and Fondness"

NOTE: On the heels of Sayf al ‘Adl’s Five Letters, his son Khālid has released a statement. This is the first time he has ever written anything (at least publicly). It’s a message of felicitation to Egyptians about overthrowing Mubarak’s regime.

Sayf al 'Adl has written Five New Letters

HT to Leah Farrall for finding this content. She plans to write more about this later, but has had some quick take tweets on it already.
The five letters are as follows:

  1. For you God, Oh Libya, written March 9, 2011
  2. The Yemen Uprising or “The People’s King,” written March 8, 2011
  3. Terrorism + Bullying = Terrorbullying (إرهابجية an Arabic neologism I’m guessing), written March 8, 2011
  4. Margins on the Pages of Egypt’s Revolution, written February 27
  5. We Are Not .. On the Chessboard and We Are Not Stones, written January 12

al ‘Adl also wrote five letters late last year. For analysis on it see Vahid Brown’s excellent take at Jihadica.

al-Fajr Media presents a new book from Abū Yaḥyā al-Lībī: "Forty Virtues in Martyrdom and the Required Attributes"

NOTE: Seems as if there is somewhat of a dissonance between the message of a book like this and the recent video release from ‘Aṭīyatullah Abū ‘Abd ar-Raḥman titled “Maximizing the Sanctity of Muslim Blood.” They are not mutually exclusive, but one wonders.
Also, it is important to note that this is the ninth release from al-Qā’idah senior leadership in the past five weeks, which compared to the past year or so is a blistering pace. Could they have found new safe houses not near where the drones are flying anymore?

The Jihadī Media Elite present a new booklet from Gharīb Ṣābr Faraj: "Milestones Along the Revolutions Road of Change"

NOTE: The title of this booklet معـالم في طريـق ثـورات التـغيير is an allusion to Sayīd Quṭb’s infamous book معالم في الطريق (Milestones Along the Road).

New statement from Hānī al-Sibā’ī: "Re-arrest of Shaykh Muḥammad aẓ-Ẓawāhirī and Took Him to an Unknown Location"

NOTE: Muḥammad aẓ-Ẓawāhirī has been re-arrested after being released from prison after 12 years two days ago. Should be interesting to hear how Ayman reacts to all of this. You can see here three videos from when Muḥammad aẓ-Ẓawāhirī was released from prison.
Muḥammad aẓ-Ẓawāhirī is Ayman aẓ-Ẓawāhirī’s younger brother. In 1981 Muḥammad was indicted in absentia for the assassination of Egyptian President Anwar as-Sādāt after Ayman implicated him in recruiting members to Tanẓīm al-Jihād while living in Saudi Arabia.  He was found not guilty. He then lived in Yemen and then moved to Sudan in the 1990s to meet up with his brother and the al-Jihād organization. Following the expulsion of jihādīs in 1996, Muḥammad returned with his family to Yemen. He worked as an engineer contractor and traveled to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) frequently for work. He was once again brought up on charges in absentia, this time in connection with the Returnees from Albania trial and he was convicted. As a result, he was arrested in the UAE in March or April 1999 and renditioned to Egypt. He was sentenced to death, but since then he has been held at the infamous Tora prison run by the Egyptian security services.
Here are a couple of other recent statements from Hānī al-Sibā’ī that relate to the recent prison releases:


علم مركز المقريزي من مصدر موثوق أن الشيخ المهندس محمد الظواهري (58 سنة) قد أعيد اعتقاله واقتياده إلى مكان مجهول اليوم السبت حوالى الساعة الحادية عشر مساءً بتاريخ 14 ربيع ثاني 1432هـ الموافق  19 مارس 2011م.

وقد أكد لنا في اتصال هاتفي الشيخ يحيى خلف أن كتيبة من قوات الأمن مدججة بالأسلحة قد حاصرت منزل الشيخ محمد الظواهري بمنطقة المعادي والشوارع المحيطة به واقتحمت المنزل بقسوة حيث لم تراع حرمة المنزل وروعت الأطفال والشيوخ والنساء ثم قامت باعتقال الشيخ محمد الظواهري من منزله بطريقة مهينة وغلظة وقسوة مع ذويه مع التهديد والوعيد إذا تم الاتصال بوسائل الإعلام!!

بناء على ما سبق

فإن مركز المقريزي يندد بهذه الممارسات الوحشية لأزلام النظام البائد الذي قيل لنا إن جهاز أمن الدولة قد تم حله!! إننا نندد بإعادة اعتقال الشيخ المهندس محمد الظواهري واقتياده إلى مكان مجهول! كما أن مركز المقريزي يؤكد أن هناك جهات مشبوهة مجرمة قد ساءها وأغاظها الافراج عن الشيخ محمد الظواهري وعودته إلى أبنائه وزوجته! وهذه الجهات بمثابة طابور خامس يتآمر على خيار رجالات وشباب الأمة! ولا نستبعد أن يكون التحالف الحاقد على الإسلام في مصر وغيرها قد ضغطوا على المجلس الأعلى للقوات المسلحة ومن ثم قامت قوات أمن الدولة وقوات مكافحة الإسلام التابعة لوزارة الداخلية بتنفيذ هذا المخطط الإجرامي بغية إرضاء أعداء الإسلام!

لذلك فإننا في مركز المقريزي نقدم هذا الخبر هدية لكل الواهمين بعودة الخير على أيدي هذه العصابة الحاقدة المحاربة للإسلام في أرض مصر! كما أننا لا زلنا نكرر أن هذه الثورة المصرية مختطفة وأن فلول الطاغية المخلوع لا يزالون يعيثون في الأرض فسادا! والله من ورائهم!
