Recent message from purported leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq.

09-11-2008

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

From Abu Omar al-Baghdadi Emir (leader) of the Islamic State of Iraq, to the new governors of the White House and their allies, the Christian countries' leaders,

peace be upon him who follows the guidance.

I praise Allah besides Whom none has the right to be worshipped but He, the King, the Holy, the One Free from all defects, the Giver of security, the Watcher over His creatures, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His messenger and that Issa Iben Maryam (Jesus son of Mary) is His slave, messenger, spirit (created by Allah) and a word of Allah (("Be!" - and he was), which He bestowed on the kindhearted pure Maryam al-Batoul (the Virgin Mary), He created him (Jesus) from His spirit and breathed life in him as He created Adam with His hand. Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala said:

[ Verily, the likeness of 'Isâ (Jesus) before Allâh is the likeness of Adam. He created him from dust, then (He) said to him: "Be!" - and he was. (This is) the truth from your Lord, so be not of those who doubt.] (3:59/60).

To proceed,

I invite you to worship Allah alone without partner, be Muslim then you will be winner and secure in the world life and hereafter. We don't prevent you from the true religion with our call-as you may think-, however we dictate it on you and we will help you in it. The religion of the prophets and messengers is one, Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says:

[And We did not send any Messenger before you (O Muhammad (peace be upon him)) but We revealed to him (saying): Lâ ilâha illa Ana (none has the right to be worshipped but I (Allâh)) so worship Me (Alone and none else)."] (21:25).

You are inheritors of a distorted religion in which the Batil (falsehood) is a hundredfold compared to the right, for Constantinus and his unjust followers depraved it seeking a false notability in exchange of a transitory world life. Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala said:

[O people of the Scripture! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, nor say of Allâh aught but the truth. The Messiah 'Isâ (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), was (no more than) a Messenger of Allâh and His Word, ("Be!" - and he was) which He bestowed on Maryam (Mary) and a spirit (Rûh) created by Him; so believe in Allâh and His Messengers. Say not: "Three (trinity)!" Cease! (it is) better for you. For Allâh is (the only) One Ilâh (God), Glory be to Him (Far Exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allâh is All-Sufficient as a Disposer of affairs.] (4:171).

Our prophet (peace be upon him) was sent for none but animating what was obliterated of Iman's (belief) features, guiding the polytheists who worship the idols and crosses to worshiping Allah only, enjoining Al-Maaruf ( the good) and forbidding Al-Munkar (every abominable and bad act), making lawful At-Tayyibat (all kind of Halal -lawful-good) and prohibiting as unlawful Al-Khaba'ith ( all evil and unlawful as regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons, foods), and taking away the burdens and shackles that were imposed on you. He (peace be upon him) is a mercy and a grace for people, what a grace! Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala said:

[And We have sent you (O Muhammad (peace be upon him)) not but as a mercy for the 'Alamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists).] (21:107).

We care about calling you because you are the closer nation to us, for our honest trustworthy prophet (peace be upon him) said: "I am the more deserving of Issa Iben Maryam (Jesus son of Mary) in the world life and the hereafter, the prophets are brothers, their mothers are many but their religion is one".

One of factors of happiness of the Islam's nation is that its beginning is Mohamad (peace be upon him) and its end is Issa Iben Maryam (Jesus son of Mary). Our prophet (peace be upon him) -who doesn't speak of his own desire- said: "the Hour (Day of Judgment) will not be established until the son of Mary descends from heaven to be a just arbitrator, then he will break the cross, kill the pig, and will cancel the Jizya (Islamic tribute imposed on disbelievers) till it will be a surplus of money not needed by anyone". You know this, and you are waiting for it because it is mentioned in your book, whereas the spirit of Allah says: [I am not to let you orphans, I will come to you soon], but you and your allies from the Jews (who impugned the honor of the pure virgin Mary and accused her of a relation with Youssef Al-Najjar and claimed that they killed the Messiah (Christ)) are waiting for

Al-Dajjal (Antichrist) and we are waiting for the one who will kill Al-Dajjal. You are waiting for the Messiah (Christ) of aberration and we are waiting for the Messiah (Christ) of guidance whom Allah raised him up (with his body and soul) unto Himself, he was not killed nor crucified. Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala said:

[For surely; they killed him not (i.e. 'Isâ (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary) (peace be upon them)). But Allâh raised him ('Isâ (Jesus)) up (with his body and soul) unto Himself (and he (peace be upon him) is in the heavens). And Allâh is Ever All-Powerful, All-Wise. And there is none of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), but must believe in him ('Isâ (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), as only a Messenger of Allâh and a human being), before his ('Isâ (Jesus) (peace be upon him) or a Jew's or a Christian's) death (at the time of the appearance of the angel of death). And on the Day of Resurrection, he ('Isâ (Jesus)) will be a witness against them.] (4:157-159).

At that time you will believe in him because he will cancel the Jizya (Islamic tribute imposed on disbelievers), and he will accept none but Islam or sword (i.e him who refuses Islam will be killed). Beware to continue in your sins and perversity, then you will be afflicted with what afflicted the antecedent nations.

Don't be conceited by your power and our weakness currently, undoubtedly for us this power is ultimately disappearing, and we will rule over your lands. Don't you know that the Messiah said to you: [the Kingdom of Allah will be pulled out from your hands and will be given to another nation], and it is mentioned in our Lord's Book (Quran):

[And indeed We have written in Az-Zabûr (Psalms) (i.e. all the revealed Holy Books - the Taurât (Torah), the Injeel (Gospel), the Psalms, the Qur'ân) after (We have already written in) Al-Lauh Al-Mahfûz (the Book that is in the heaven with Allâh), that My righteous slaves shall inherit the land (i.e. the land of Paradise).] (21:105).

The utmost limit of your wishes regarding power is to be like A'ad people who carved their houses in the mountains, then Allah sent upon them furious wind for seven nights and eight days in succession, which left them as if they were hollow trunks of date-palms! The wind that you had been afflicted with and you knew well its effects, you lived the experience of Katrina and Gustav hurricanes not long ago. Actually you have a carton civilization, for if electricity shut down or computers stop operating, you will return to the old testament, so compare your woody and glassy houses with the houses carved in the mountains but they couldn't save them (Aad people).

And beware to be conceited by the money you have possessed and its fewness in our hands. We know well it delights you (but hurts us) seeing the Muslim serving the white master in your countries and ours, but I believe that Allah Has destined that your riches come to an end, and He declared war on you. You are owners of properties based on gambling and usury, for you stole the land's riches and oppressed peoples, so you merit this saying of Allah Soubhanahu wa Ta'ala:

[then take a notice of war from Allâh and His Messenger] (2:279).

And you merit the curse of Allah Who cursed the eater (payee) of usury, its payer, its writer and its eyewitness, as our prophet (peace be upon him) said in the hadeeth. So, what do you think of people cursed by Allah and on whom He declared war? You already have experienced some of this war, otherwise how in few days you lost more than fifty trillions of dollars in the crisis of hypothecation, where are these sums of money?

Allah Soubhanahu wa Ta'ala spoke the truth when He said:

[Allâh will destroy Ribâ (usury) and will give increase for Sadaqât (deeds of charity, alms, etc.)] (2:276).

The other fact which the politicians are uneasy to admit is that their unjust war against the Islamic lands, its successive great losses and continuous attrition for your power and economy, was the main cause of collapse of the economic giant which began since the 9/11 blessed attacks and completed at the hands of the courageous monotheists in Mesopotamia. Thus, now we could see the American master going to seek food from trash bags or trading in them to gain his livelihood, while this profession was before the fate of many poor and weak people from Muslims and others.

And don't be conceited by your large number nor your developed equipment, read well and learn from the history, I don't think that you forgot the past and current battles, and how some hundreds from us vanquished tens of thousands from you, the Falluja's two battles happened not long ago are one of the evidences. Ponder on how some pious Muslims in Mesopotamia could found an Islamic State which they pulled out of your tusks and claws. The soldiers of Islam and knights of Jihad have strong determination, resolution and clairvoyance which is driving them to be one day under the roof of the White House, Elysee palace and the kremlin.

There are in this Ummah (Islamic nation) pious persons to their prayers Allah will respond, and He the Almighty and Omnipotent becomes angry for their anger and becomes pleased if they are so.

We are a nation that started retrieving its glory and honor, stood up from its slip, and shook off its servility. The giant of Jihad started roaring everywhere so, whatever was the degree of your cunning be sure it will be useless because we returned to our Lord, we repaired what was corrupted concerning our status and we trusted in Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala Who said:

[they were plotting and Allâh too was plotting; and Allâh is the Best of those who plot] (8:30), and said also:

Verily, they are but plotting a plot (against you O Muhammad (peace be upon him)). And I (too) am planning a plan. So give a respite to the disbelievers; deal you gently with them for a while.] (86:15-17).

Our prophet (peace be upon him) who never speaks but the truth brought us glad tidings when he said: "Every hundred years, Allah sends to this Ummah him who renovates the religion for it".

Thus, if you refuse Islam and worshipping Allah alone without partner, then we remind you about what you were in the past, especially America which adhered to the principle of neutrality until the World War II, hence it lived in security, safety and development in all fields, but when this nation (America) began leaving its neutrality and intervening in the matters of others, it started losing everything, for what? For a gang of weaponry and oil traders who drove a whole nation into fierce wars to serve their illimitable avidity.

Today I and on behalf of my brothers in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia and Chechnya tender what can be better for you and for us:

- Return to your neutrality, withdraw your troops and go back to your homes, don't intervene in our countries' matters neither directly or indirectly, on our part we will not prevent the trade with you neither in oil nor anything else but in just and equitable way not with cheapness and loss.

- Beware of supporting the hireling agents traitors (governors), for the Ummah (Islamic nation) hated both you and them. Let the Ummah be ruled by its Ulamaas (scholars), this is more beneficial for them and you.

If you refused the neutrality and withdrawal, at least diminish your injustice by releasing the Muslim prisoners in Iraq, Afghanistan and Cuba. You imprisoned the feeble old men, children, farmers and drudge householders, you threw them in your unjust jails under the pretext of terrorism. By Allah, can you tell me who is the terrorist? Is he the poor one who is sitting at his home, or the one who came from behind seas for long distances to penetrate his door, explode his domicile, kill his son, occupy his land, violate his honor and steal his money? Where are your minds O people? Where are your religion's instructions concerning the mercy and clemency Allah put in the hearts of your scholars? and why you threw behind the saying of Messiah (peace be upon him) (Christ): "Him who slapped you on your right cheek give him the left cheek, and him who took your robe give him your shirt". And till when the reasonable persons from you will remain silent and repressed? in reality the more you increase your injustice towards the feeble (deemed weak) prisoners and you augment their numbers, the more you increase the anger of the Lord towards you, and the more you inflame the firing rancor in our hearts despite of being full due to your tyranny and oppression.

Glory be to Allah Who preferred the nation of Islam to you in everything, till He praised the believers from this Islamic nation because of their polite and good treatment towards the prisoner, Allah Soubhanau wa Ta'ala said:

[And they give food, in spite of their love for it (or for the love of Him), to the Miskin (the poor), the orphan, and the captive] (76:8).

The aim of this message is to call you amicably to the best for you, we aren't threatening you nor making you hear what an oppressor must hear, pursuant to the saying of Allah:

[Invite (mankind, O Muhammad (peace be upon him)) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islâm) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Revelation and the Qur'ân) and fair preaching,] (16:125), and His saying:

[Go, both of you, to Fir'aun (Pharaoh), verily, he has transgressed (all bounds in disbelief and disobedience and behaved as an arrogant and as a tyrant). And speak to him mildly, perhaps he may accept admonition or fear Allâh] (20:43-44).

We conclude our talk with you by what we have started it with: we call you to the Tawheed (monotheism) and Islam by which the prophet of mercy and fight (peace be upon him) was sent to Hiracl (Hercules) the great leader in your religion at that time, who esteemed his message, exalted his legates and comprehended his talk without hastening, however he preferred to keep reign even after he knew about the truthfulness of the Daa'wa (call-invitation to Islam) of the prophet (peace be upon him). So don't be less than him in mind if you couldn't be better than him in response, Allah Soubhanahu wa Ta'ala said:

[Say (O Muhammad (peace be upon him)) "O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians): Come to a word that is just between us and you, that we worship none but Allâh (Alone), and that we associate no partners with Him, and that none of us shall take others as lords besides Allâh. Then, if they turn away, say: "Bear witness that we are Muslims."] (3:64).

At the end, I wish those whom you trusted (your men of intelligence) to transmit this message to you, as I wish they spread it in full in the TV channels claiming to be neutral and independent especially these channels belonging to Arabism and Islam, which gave to the Jews all fields and opportunities in the media under the pretense of "the opinion and the dissenting opinion", and I don't think they see us more than the Jews in criminality and aberration.

Allah (Alone) is Sufficient for us, and He is the Best Disposer of affairs (for us And Allah has full power and control over His Affairs, but most of men know not.
