“Our performance from one war to another is getting better. If in 2012 we hit Tel Aviv, I think the enemy can imagine what can be beyond Tel Aviv.” Ali Hashem, “Islamic Jihad Leader: Negotiations Gain ‘Nothing,’” Al-Monitor, March 14, 2014, http://www.al-monitor.com/pulseen/originals/2014/03/islamic-jihad-pa-israel-ramadan-abdullah-shalah.html.

“Unfortunately, the Palestinian Authority [PA], in response, is banning the resistance, though there's great potential, and our people are ready to rise up once again. Why are they committed to security coordination with Israel? What does security coordination mean? It means that the PA is working for Israel.” Ali Hashem, “Islamic Jihad Leader: Negotiations Gain ‘Nothing,’” Al-Monitor, March 14, 2014, http://www.al-monitor.com/pulseen/originals/2014/03/islamic-jihad-pa-israel-ramadan-abdullah-shalah.html.

"The first priority [of the military campaign] is to divide what is left of the country between Ethiopia and Kenya under the guise of regional administrations. The second objective is to loot the natural resources of the country both directly and indirectly through the apostate government," Godane said. "The third objective is to fight against the implementation of sharia under al-Shabaab rule and prevent the people from finding peace and a good life under their religion."

"The fourth one is to once again incite in the country into violence based on communities and tribes after they have become united under the law of God," he said. "Their fifth objective is how Ethiopia can realise its dream of once and for all getting its hands on the coastal areas of Somalia." (Audio Message regarding AMISOM mission) Mohamud, Osman.

Everyone of those will be considered a time bomb which may blow up anytime, during a soccer game, a car race, or in a club.”Ibrahim Ar-Rubaysh, “The Crusade and the Swap of Stances,” Inspire 12 (2014): 26.

“With time Al-Qaeda may disappear. Not that Jihad has ceased, but the whole Ummah will be waging Jihad. Every Muslim will see that it is his obligation to fight with all his power against America. Just like when he hears the adhan [Islamic call to prayer] he makes wudhu (preparation for formal prayers) and goes to the nearest Jama’ah [group of worshippers], if he does not find Jama’ah he prays alone wherever he is. The same way when he hears the call of Jihad against America, he will strive to answer it by joining the nearest Jihadi group.”Ibrahim Ar-Rubaysh, “The Crusade and the Swap of Stances,” Inspire 12 (2014): 26.

“The unmanned drones propel the Jihad against the crusaders. They make the issue clearer to Muslims. They drive them to take on the path of Jihad.

“If the takfiris take over the [Lebanese-Syrian] border, they will continue car bombs and suicide bombings because that is their mindset. This danger threatens all Lebanese, whether they believe it or not. The battle will require sacrifices just like the resistance against Israel, and here too we will be victorious.”“Nasrallah: Takfiris Want Us to Target Our Sunni Brothers, but It won't Happen,” Al Akhbar English, February 16, 2014, accessed August 4, 2014, http://english.al-akhbar.com/content/nasrallah-takfiris-want-us-target-our-sunni-brothers-it-wont-happen.
