Al-Qaeda in Iraq, the terror group led by Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, has released a new statement in which it explains the reasons for its terror campaign and states that they are not fighting the US occupation of Iraq, but to create "an Islamic state which is part of the caliphate and the Muslim territory."
The message from the terror group appeared on the Internet on Tuesday, just a few days ahead of a visit to Baghdad by the secretary general of the Arab League, Amr Moussa. "The secretary of the Arab League has been tasked with going to Iraq to convince the Sunnis to enter the political game so as to stop the Jihad [holy war] in the Sunni areas. With the excuse of national interest, they are trying to save the Americans," the statement says.
The terror group then goes on to reveal its real objectives, saying: "We are not fighting to chase out the occupier or to save national unity and keep the borders outlined by the infidels intact," the statement continues. "We are fighting because it is a religious duty to do it, just as it is a duty to take the Sharia [Islamic law] to the government and create an Islamic state."
In the last few weeks the Islamic forums on the Internet have regularly broadcast images relating to the possible creation of al-Qaeda's hypothetical Islamic state, which could take shape within Iraq's rebel al-Anbar province.
Here is my favorate Z-man quote.
"We will either we achieve victory over the human race or we will pass to the eternal life."
This just in.
Let's help him along shall we....next stop...HELL!
So the reason for the terroristic slaughter of men, women and children is to promote the Religion of Peace.
The last Caliphate of Baghdad got put in a leather sack and run over by Ghengis Khan's calvary.
A word of advice to George Bush if they do set up an Islamic state... don't invade, just bomb and bomb thoroughly.
"So the reason for the terroristic slaughter of men, women and children is to promote the Religion of Peace."
Islam is the religion of peace like McDonald's is the bastion of good health.
Roll some of that beautiful Taliban footage!
C-A-V-A-L-R-Y
Article 2: 1st-Islam is the official religion of the state and is the basic source of legislation: (a) No law can be passed that contradicts the undisputed rules of Islam.
Islam is the religion of peace like McDonald's is the bastion of good health.McDonalds has salads. Islam only has hate.
OK, OK, you don't have to shout.
In her hair, she wore a yellow ribbon!
Excellent point.
Well, if Al Q is fighting for an Islamic State and the US military is fighting for an Islamic State. I'd say the chances of getting an Islamic State are pretty good.
LMAO! The FR Spelling police nabbed you.
It's not the same type of Islamic state that these fundamentalist moonbats want. They don't want elections and a government structure, they want dictators w/black turbans.
I suppose all the leftist moonbats here have to come up with another reason to want the troops out of Iraq now that thier terrorist friends claim that they aren't fighting to remove them.
. . . but if someone disputes a rule of Islam, then it wouldn't be "undisputed" then, would it?
Sure, just like "the rights of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
