“Asaib Ahl al-Haq was founded as an Islamic resistance movement to fight the American occupation, but now this stage is over. Now we have entered a new phase, which is to make people aware of Asaib Ahl al-Haq.”Liz Sly, “Iranian-backed militant group in Iraq is recasting itself as a political player,” Washington Post, February 18, 2013, http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/iranian-backed-militant-group-in-iraq-is-recasting-itself-as-a-political-player/2013/02/18/b0154204-77bb-11e2-b102-948929030e64_story.html.

“It is a new ring from the chain of Zio-crusader invasion to the Muslim land, …we are today before an important historical moment where once again lying is circulated to the world and the methods of satanic deception is reproduced, for a moment we return back with our memory to the days that preceded the invasion of Iraq to remind us of the biggest American lie promoted by Bush and Colin Powell to mobilize for the war? Do you remember it? It is the lie of the chemical weapons, and that Saddam has a close link to Al-Qaeda and Zarqawi.” (Video Speech)Casey Britton, “AQIM: Invasion of Mali… A French proxy war - Abu Musab Abdel Wadoud,” World Analysis, Last Modified February 10, 2012, http://worldanalysis.net/modules/news/article.php?storyid=2191.

“All forbidden things in the caliphate will be stopped from day one. In the economic system, there will be no usury. We will close the banks from day one. From day one, alcohol and all forbidden things will stop. Now, to change the manufacture [of wine] to juice does take time, but alcohol will be thrown out from day one. Fornication, whatever, that will all stop. On the streets, there will be only the shari’a dress code. Anyone – Muslim or non-Muslims… A Muslim street has to be like that.”“Ismail Al-Wahwah, Spokesman Of Hizb Ut-Tahrir In Australia: We Will Establish The Caliphate, Instate The Shari'a, And Make Arabic The Official Language,” Middle East Media Research Institute, January 6, 2013, http://www.memri.org/report/en/0/0/0/0/0/0/6911.htm.

“That is the duty of the caliphate – to implement Islam internally and carry the light of Islam to the rest of the world. How? Not with flowers. It was the army of Muslims, which started from Al-Madina, and they went to China, India, and Al-Maghreb. That is jihad.”“Ismail Al-Wahwah, Spokesman Of Hizb Ut-Tahrir In Australia: We Will Establish The Caliphate, Instate The Shari'a, And Make Arabic The Official Language,” Middle East Media Research Institute, January 6, 2013, http://www.memri.org/report/en/0/0/0/0/0/0/6911.htm.

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. These principles gain life in the Muslims’ heart when their supporters are martyred for their sake. The clearest of evidence is the long list of the martyred mujahideen that hasn’t weaken [sic] jihad. Instead, jihad operations often increase. Shaykh Osama Bin Laden was killed, but did the war against America cease?Ibrahim al-Rubaish, “Inspire Continues to Inspire,” Inspire 9 (2012): 6.

“We hereby inform our Muslim Ummah and its Mujahideen leaders, foremost among them Amiirul Mu'mineen Al-Mullah Muhammad Omar Mujahid and Sheikh Ayman Al-Zawahiri the following:

1-That no matter the Strength of the crusader's offensive, it will eventually result in abysmal failure as the phase of gaining territory and defeating the Mujahideen has irreversibly come to an end.

2-That the apostate militia supporting the kuffar invaders are helplessly impotent, compelling the African Crusaders to personally move to the battlefronts and thus greatly increasing their fatality rates.

3-The military strength of the Mujahideen is still the same; still strong and resilient, denying the kuffar enemies the chance to rejoice in the territories they have occupied as the Mujahideen continue to torment them with constant ambushes and assaults.” (Audio message regarding international intervention in Somalia) Katz, Rita, and Adam Raisman.

“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.

Extremists: Their Words. Their Actions.

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].
