“There is no way that you, the Kenyan public could possibly endure a prolonged war in Somalia and you cannot also withstand a war of attrition inside your own country.

Communique to ISIS media website editor:

“Can you provide me Fatwa to my circumstances? First, I am in the land of infidels. If right now I decide to go to the airport and go anywhere, except for Uzbekistan, they may arrest me. It's because of what I told them about Obama. ‘If I contact with someone from the Caliphate, pledge oath, and then if they order me to kill Obama if the order is based on the Quran and Sunnah, if I have what I need, i.e. guns, then for Allah and my intentions, and because he is an enemy of Allah, I will execute Obama’, I said. Even after these words, they left me alone. Why? Because they think I am establishing a Jihadi group, or I belong to such group, Allah knows the best. My parents in Uzbekistan, sometimes they worship and practice Islam, sometimes they do idolatry. My sisters are uncovered, lack knowledge of a religion. I wish they knew at least how to cover themselves up. What should I do? I need to sneak out of here with extreme caution without being noticed by them.”“UNITED STATES OF AMERICA against ABDURASUL HASANOVICH JURABOEV, also known as “Abdulloh Ibn Hasan,” AKHROR SAIDAKHMETOV, and ABROR HABIBOV, Defendants.,” United States Department of Justice, February 24, 2015, http://www.justice.gov/file/344761/download.
