“America wanted to deceive its nation by portraying its war as a war against particular individuals so with death of individuals war will ended [sic]. In that way America’s administration feel[s] some sort of victory by killing certain individuals. Just like what happened when they killed Shaykh Usama Bin Laden… Those miserable people haven’t yet realized that their war is waged against a nation that has principles and fundamentals.”Ibrahim al-Rubaish, “Inspire Continues to Inspire,” Inspire Magazine 9 (2012): 6.

“O [Kuffar] Americans, we view our battle with you with this divine view: ‘Say, do you await for us except one of the two best things [i.e., martyrdom or victory] while we await for you that Allah will afflict you with punishment from Himself or at our hands? So wait; indeed we, along with you, are waiting.’ [9:52] Hence, we are a nation that does not surrender. It either dies or prevails. So contemplate and stand with yourselves an honest stand, perhaps you are guided to Islam, recognizing it as sovereign over you and give the jizyah [tax paid by non-Muslims under sharia law] willingly while you are humbled.” Abu Hurairah as-Sana’ani, “This is How We Win and This is How You Lose,” Inspire Magazine 9 (2012): 22.

“Democracy to the Muslims is shirk (sin of idolatry in Islam) because, quite frankly, how can anyone vote on whether or not to establish the law of Allah? Allah’s shari‘ah is the sole valid law as He says: ‘The rule is for Allah alone’ [12: 67]. The principles of democracy are laid upon what the majority desire. What if the majority are sinful and vote against the shari‘ah? Does that mean we abandon shari‘ah for man-made laws?... Muslims are required to reject the modern day idol of democracy just as Prophet Ibrahim, peace be upon him, rejected the idols of his time.”Samir Khan, “Sadness, Contentment & Aspiration,” Inspire Magazine 6 (2011): 49-50.

“Today [the Egyptian] people have found themselves in a new dilemma. Sure, the enemy may have left the seat of authority, but you now are faced with a complex interconnection between what is democratically acceptable and what is Islamically acceptable... It is the shari‘ah way that will always lead to success in this life and the next no matter the trials.”  Samir Khan, “The Egyptian,”Inspire Magazine 5 (2011): 45-46.

In Their Own Words:

We reiterate once again that the brigades will directly target US bases across the region in case the US enemy commits a folly and decides to strike our resistance fighters and their camps [in Iraq].
