An announcement issued today, May 12, 2005, on the Tajdeed forum, a UK-based message board affiliated with Mohammed al-Massari, titled: “Announcement to the Mujahideen in ‘al-Sham’ (Syria),” urges the formation of terrorist cells in order to overthrow the Ba’athist Party currently in power in Syria and fight the “American devil”.
The message predicates its call upon information that “enemies are working hard for their interests and we have to sacrifice for our religion and we have to work harder than them….” and calls upon “everyone who is able to do their duty” and “go to nearby fields to learn (military) experience and make use of it in the future.” Cells are to form which will inevitably coalesce into one large group, and as the announcement posits: “formation in jihad is a fundamental thing and it is a power because it is a system.”
In addressing the formation of the cells, “they should be made up of five and should be completely separated from each other. What ties them together is one brother and he can have a deputy or two for emergency. And no one should know the others names, only by nicknames or movement names (nom de guerre).”
Further, as a final plea, the announcement states: “We have long waited brothers, too many young men are worried about religion but they lack mobilization.”

A message posted on the Tajdeed forum, a UK-based message board affiliated with Mohammed al-Massari, May 12, 2005, titled: “A Picture Encourages You to Kill… The Captured Hero: The Moroccan; Only for those over 18 years of age,” congratulates Mohammed Bouyeri, the 26-year old Moroccan who murdered Dutch filmmaker Theo Van Gogh in the morning of November 2, 2004. Van Gogh had released a film earlier in the year which depicted violence against women in Islamic societies; the image atop, provided in the message, is one such scene from the film, showing a Muslim woman in a transparent dress with Qur’anic script across her body.
The author of the message cites the killing as a “heroic thing,” and justifies this label by dehumanizing Theo Van Gogh, “the Dutch infidel director… that hurt the heavenly religion” as deserving of death “like a fly.” Further, the message urges for praise and prayers to be directed toward Bouyeri, now incarcerated in a Dutch jail, and the “mother who gave birth to this Moroccan because the Dutch infidel director deserved to be killed.”
Addressing others who seek to act as Van Gogh, who had “hurt the heavenly religion,” the actions of Bouyeri are to provide “a lesson to every dirty infidel because there are too many like this young man. Do not provoke those who will give his life for (killing you) with honor.”
