“O people of the Sunnah. Stop the black extension that is coming towards you. Cut off the head of the [Shi'ite] snake, the tail of which is amongst you. Know that the coming stage is a stage of real confrontation and war against the despicable [Shi'ites], whether you like it or not, and that the war of the Sunnis with the [Shi'ites] is not a sectarian war, like people are braying about… The war of the Sunnis with the [Shi'ites] is a religious war, a holy war of faith, a war of faith and unbelief, a war of idolatry and monotheism. There is no way out of it and there is no swerving from it. The [Shi'ites] know this well.”Bill Roggio, “Al Qaeda in Iraq rails at Shias, claims deadly attacks,” Long War Journal, February 24, 2012, http://www.longwarjournal.org/threat-matrix/archives/2012/02/al_qaeda_in_iraq_rails_at_shia.php#ixzz3SHWYrWIW.
