A new
tape from the leader of al-Qaida in the Land of the Two Rivers that surfaced
Friday has not only sparked a sharp rise in attacks over the weekend but
follows to the letter the al-Qaida Strategy To The Year 2020, adding further
validity to that document.
In this statement, al-Zarqawi addresses the truthful
Mujahideen and makes clear the intentions of the Americans and it
allies is to establish a Zionist state from the Nile to the Euphrates
and what the obligations of the Mujahideen and the Ummah at large are.
Here is the complete statement, uncut and uncensored, as translated by JUS. All
praise is to Allah who made quick work of this lengthy address and special
thanks to the JUS translation team that worked over the weekend to bring this
to our pages today. The complete Arabic tape can be found on the sidebar under “Uncensored
News’.

Complete Statement By Abu Messab Al-Zarqawi
Titled “O People Of Islam! Strength, Strength
Praise be to Allah, whose Help glorifies Islam, whose irresistibility
humiliates Shirk (rejection of oneness), whose Command manages all affairs,
whose Planning draws the Kafirs (unbelievers) in little by little, whose
Justice causes days of blessings and days of suffering to alternate, and whose
Grace makes final victory belongs to the pious. And peace and prayer be on the
one that with his sword, Allah elevated the status of Islam.
This statement is from Abu Mesaab Al-Zarqawi to the truthful Mujahideen on the land of the Two Rivers, the land of
heroism and sacrifice, the land of the lions of unyielding willpower.
Peace, and Allah’s mercy and blessings be upon you.
I greet you with the Islamic greeting.
Here we are; two years have passed since Baghdad
fell to the crusaders. The crusaders harvested nothing but defeat, shame, and
humiliation. Allah’s Grace and guidance (bestowed on the Mujahideen) have
prevented the cross worshippers from realizing any of their goals for which
they invaded Iraq.
They envisioned taking control of this Islamic Ummah, thereby paving the way
for establishing the long sought after Zionist
State, from the Nile to the Euphrates.
However, by the Grace of Allah first, and your successful blows second, their
dreams have evaporated, their arrows went astray, and they went back on their
heels with disgrace.
O you Mujahideen! You are this Ummah’s chosen few, its first line of defense,
its safety valve, and its well-constructed fence. You are the vigilant,
guardian rock upon which the American arrogance has crumbled into pieces. With
your determination to fight the cross worshippers and their collaborators from
our own skin, not only do you defend the land of the Two Rivers, but you also
defend the entire Ummah.
Your American enemy is now in a position that no one wants to be in. No one
wants to be in America’s
shoes and no one envies this enemy at the present time. The severe blows you
dealt this enemy, by the Grace of Allah, forced America to beg for negotiations
with the Mujahideen. But do not be fooled by their tactics; it is nothing more
than “Deception of Satan.” Iblis (the head of Satans) inspired his
Satanic brothers among men to announce the necessity of opening a dialogue with
the so called “resistance factions”. Make no mistake about it, your
Jihad, your patience, and your steadfastness, is what forced the enemy to seek
negotiations.
On April 19, the Washington Post published a lengthy article titled “Two Years Later…Iraq War Drains
American Military”, written by Scott Tyson. In his article,
Tyson said “two years after the U.S.
war campaign against Iraq
was launched, the Iraqi resistance operations still drain the American military
resources and puts a heavy and unexpected burden on the military human
resources.” Tyson quoted the deputy joint military chiefs of staff,
saying the following during a U.S. Senate hearing:
“One question keeps me up at night: What would the strength of our
military recruits look like in the year 2007?” Tyson then goes into
discussing one of the most difficult tasks of the American military outside of
the battle field - recruitment that is.
Tyson said “The regular army, the Marines, and most reserves have failed
to meet their quotas for the first quarter of 2005, according to data from the
Pentagon. This shortage is causing a great deal of concern to officials in the
army and the Marines.”
The commander of the U.S. National Guards said “If we do not handle this
problem the right way, the consequence will be too dangerous.” He further
said that 20% of national guards suffer from exhaustion and two-thirds of
national guards are expected to leave the service upon their return from Iraq.
O you Mujahideen, after your enemy has realized that the road (to his dreams)
has reached a dead end, and the door (to Iraq wealth) is slammed shut in his
face, he (the enemy) resorted to an impure plan for the purpose of pulling the
carpet from under the feet of the truthful
Mujahideen. They (Americans) encouraged those defeatists who are
falsely counted as Mujahideen, to form the nucleus of the new Iraqi army in
Sunni areas. The purpose of this move was to have the so called new Iraqi army
stand in the way between the true Mujahideen and the cross worshippers.
O you truthful Mujahideen! Beware of a major plot being carefully knitted by
Satan’s helpers, day and night.
O you Mujahideen! Jihad is a way by which Allah relieves depression, suffering,
and low self-esteem. The Gardens (Paradise)
are under the shadows of the swords. Allah has made all doors to paradise wide
open for you; He brought your enemy right to your door steps so that the Jihad
market may be open to all.
May Allah have mercy on Ebn Al-Qaiem who said “Allah
causes wars between states in order to choose martyrs amongst you”
Allah, the Most High says:
{And fight them on until
there is no more persecution, and the religion becomes Allah’s in its
entirety…}, 8:39
The prophet, peace be upon him, said: “I swear by the one in whose Hand
is my soul, I will continue to fight them (the Unbelievers) over this matter
(Islam, Tawheed) until either my soul leaves my body or Allah’s religion
gets the upper hand.”
O you Mujahideen! Your Jihad is spreading, and your fighting is continuous,
until Allah lifts distress and oppression off our Ummah.
“Whenever you possess a pure heart, a sharp sword, and a hard nose,
oppression and injustice will avoid you.”
I call on all truthful Mujahideen in Baghdad of
the Rasheed (referring to Haroon Al-Rasheed, a Khalif at the time when Baghdad was the capital
and the center of knowledge of the Islamic State)
O you heroes of Haifa,
Al-Aathamiah, Al-Ghazaliah, Al-Amiriah, Al-Khadhra, Al-Mansour, Al-Dawrah,
Al-Amin, and Al-Maamoun…..
O you lions of Al-Eskandariah, Haswah, Al-Mouseeb, Al-Mahmoudiah, Al-Latifiah,
Yousifiah, Al-Radwaniah, Zawbah, Abu Ghraib, Madaen, Tarmiah, and Taji….
O you lions of Diali, Baqubah, Al-Meqdadiah, Khalis, Balad, Rose, Glula,
Bahraz, Shahrian, and Khaniqeen…
O you glorious men in Salah Al-deen, Tikrit, Samaara, Biji, and
Al-Ishaqi…..
O you steely servants of Allah in Ninoy, Mosel,
Talafar, Rubaiah, Houwaijah, Kerkuk, Dahuk, Arbeel, and Soulimaniah…
O you unbending men in Anbar, Ramadi, Fallujah, Al-Qermah, Al-Amriah,
Saqlawiah, Khaldiah, Hait, Hadithah, Aanah, Rawah, Qaim, and Al-Ratibah…
O you in the blessed front line in Hullah, Al-Nasiriah, Karbala,
and Basra…
Allah has blessed you with two years of continuous Jihad, and you have given up
many bodies and souls in the cause of Allah. You have suffered a great deal of
hardship on the road to defend Allah’s religion.
Fear Allah..Fear Allah over your religion…
Fear Allah…Fear Allah over your Jihad…
Fear Allah…Fear Allah over the blood of your brothers and the dignity and
chasteness of your sisters.
Do not be like a woman who breaks into untwisted strands the yarn which she has
spun, after it has become strong. (He is reffering to 16:92, of the Holy
Qura’n). Do not be deceived by the vast number of the wrong-doers and do
not be let down by the scarcity of the righteous. Let patience and certainty be
your best tools.
May Allah have mercy on Khalid (referring to the most genius military leader
ever, Khalid Ebn Al-Waleed who was nick-named “the sword of Allah”
by the prophet (PBUH)), who stood before his army giving them a pep talk:
O you people of Islam!
In patience there lies glory, and in failure there lies inability.
With patience, you become victorious, for the patient has the upper hand, and
failure is for the followers of falsehood and the weak ones.
The righteous do not fail, for he knows that Allah is on his side because he
defends and fights for Allah’s religion. When the righteous meet Allah,
He (Allah) will elevate his status, and recognize his good deeds, for Allah
loves those who recognize His blessings and guidance.
Therefore, be patient, Tawheed brothers. It is only a matter of time before
clear victory becomes yours. Any for you is one of two things; both of them are
good. A martyr earns the pleasure of Allah or a victory.
O you grandchildren Saad, Al-Muthana, Khalid, and Abu Aubaidah (referring to
great war tacticians)…
Defend your Aqeedah, defend your dignity, sharpen your swords, and fight to
give your religion the upper hand. Fight for Allah and with full trust in Allah
and go into the battlefield remembering Khalid’s words to his army:
“O people of Islam! Strength,
Strength”
Take it to them (the enemy), and if you fight them while your intentions are
purely for Allah, and you seek nothing but Allah’s pleasure, there will
be no way that they (the enemy) can take it for even one hour. Beware of Wahan
(love of life and hate of death), rest, and weakness. Do not let the huge
propaganda and military machines deceive you into doubting your resolve, and do
not doubt Allah’s victory to his servants.
If your intentions are pure for Allah, and your lines are straight, victory
will be yours. Allah’s path is clear; stay on it and do not get bogged
down with disagreements among yourselves and know that reward is proportionate
with level of intention.
How could your resolve and your strength be weakened when you see your enemy
enter the very inmost parts of your homes, and how could you let up when the
enemy does not stop raping your sisters and your mothers?
Have you not heard your sisters screaming from behind bars of the crusaders
prisons?
Have you not heard of what has happened to your sisters in Fallujah?
Have you not heard the story of your mother whose dignity was violated by
deviant Shia? They (Shia Iraqi Guards) went to arrest her husband and when they
could not find him, they arrested her. She kept on crying and begging them to
let go of her. She was so desperate to the point that she bowed down, kissed
the shoes of the apostate guard and begged him not to take her away and said to
him: “I beg you, I am an Iraqi, so are you, why will you give me up to
the Americans?” But the filthy Kafir did not pay attention to her
screams. He and his comrades blindfolded her, tied her hands behind her back,
and took her and threw her in the American vehicle which was waiting outside.
Baghdad, the heart bleeds for you…
As the cross worshipper wants your identity changed…
I cry for a pure girl who have been raped by a dog and two wolves
Kufr army came to invade you …
And the Arabs have bowed their head down in approval
And we cannot expect the mice to stand up and be counted
I keep wondering why the prominent amongst our people...
Get swayed away from truth by falsehood and idols...
How sad the heart become with no ladder
To take us to the high places meant for us...
And there is no captain to the ship…
Baghdad, do not wonder, the Arabs have perverted
And sins have become their way of life.
Baghdad, shed your tears, most people have perverted
While the war tool is Iman before the sword.
Where are those so called Ulama (scholars of Islam)? We only hear them when
they attack the Mujahideen and when they shed tears for a slain or kidnapped
Kafir. Where are they now? Where have they been every moment a sister is raped
in Abu Ghraib or elsewhere?
O mother! We hear your scream and we are coming!
O sister! We hear your scream and we are coming!
We swear by Allah, we will not let up, we will not enjoy a drink or a meal, we
will not enjoy a moment of sleep, and we will not put away our swords, until we
take revenge for what the enemies of Allah have done to you.
And to you Bush, the dog of Rome,
we swear by Allah, you will not enjoy rest or a resting place, your military
will never enjoy his stay on our lands, as long as we still have one pulsating
vein and a beating heart.
Bush, we are coming, we are coming, with the aid and Grace of Allah, we are
coming!
O you lions of Tawheed on the land of the Two Rivers! I ask you in the name of
Allah, if you get this message from me, do not let night fall on you before you
make your swords drip with your enemy’s blood. Strike them as one strong
man. No life is worth living while our sisters are being raped and our dignity
is being violated, and our land is under the cross worshipper’s control.
Make “Abu Anas Al-Shami Expedition” a starting point and a good
beginning of many more victories to come.
O you, the Martyrdom Seeker Brigade!
Get going, Allah is with you. Do not let them rest; attack every convoy, envoy,
or column. Attack their check points, observation towers, and everyplace they
are in. Change their night into day and their coolness into fire.
{And Allah has full
power and control over His affairs; but most among mankind know it not.}, 12:21

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.}
(Holy Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
