New video message from Ḥarakat al-Shabāb al-Mujāhidīn’s Shaykh Abū ‘Ubaydah (Aḥmad ‘Umar): "You Think They Are Together, But Their Hearts Are Diverse"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

The title of this release is in reference to Qur’anic verse 59:14. Here it is in full: “They will not fight you all except within fortified cities or from behind walls. Their violence among themselves is severe. You think they are together, but their hearts are diverse. That is because they are a people who do not reason.”
