Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

“We want to give you the joyous news of the martyrdom of the mujahed sheik Abu Musab al-Zarqawi”

Jun 8, 2006 3:15 pm By Robert Spencer

That one is from the “The Americans love Pepsi Cola, we love death” school. That one and a spectrum of other reactions below — from jihadist saber-rattling to cries of victory over terrorism to dhimmi weeping. From “Reaction to Death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi,” from FoxNews, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:

“Today, al-Zarqawi was eliminated. Those who disrupt the course of life, like al-Zarqawi, will have a tragic end.

“Whenever there is a new al-Zarqawi, we will kill him.

“This is a message for all those who embrace violence, killing and destruction to stop and to [retreat] before it’s too late. It is an open battle with all those who incite sectarianism.”

“” Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki

“”””””””””””

“We want to give you the joyous news of the martyrdom of the mujahed sheik Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

“The death of our leaders is life for us. It will only increase our persistence in continuing holy war so that the word of God will be supreme.

“We tell our sheik and emir, Usama bin Laden, God protect him, that your soldiers of Al Qaeda in Iraq are carrying on in the same plan set by sheik Abu Musab.”

“” “Abu Abdel-Rahman al-Iraqi,” identified as the deputy “emir” or leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq on a Web site used by Al Qaeda.

“”””””””””””

“Zarqawi’s death is not the end of terrorism in the world, but a significant step in ridding the world of the menace of terrorism. This success should encourage us all, both in the Muslim world and beyond, to continue and step up our common fight against terrorism.”

“” Afghan President Hamid Karzai

“”””””””””””

“We are dead sure that assassination of any of the people [like Zarqawi] who are resisting will not … end the resistance.”

“” Palestinian Foreign Minister Mahmoud Zahar

“”””””””””””

“The arrest or death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi does not mean the end of the struggle, because Islam does not depend on any personality. It does not depend on Zarqawi, on Usama or Abu Bakar Bashir. Even if it’s true, there will be many new Abu Musabs to be born.”

“” Fauzan Al-Ansory, an aide to jailed Indonesian militant cleric Abu Bakar Bashir

“”””””””””””

“Zarqawi’s martyrdom is not going to weaken the jihad in Iraq. Rather, you will soon see more retaliatory attacks by his successors.”

“” Khalid Khawaja, a former Pakistani intelligence officer who helped bin Laden fight Soviet forces in Afghanistan

“”””””””””””

“This is a happy day for Iraq and the Iraqi people … he was the prince of terrorism and encouraged sectarian strife.

“I think what happened today was a decisive blow for terrorist networks and that Iraq will not be a safe haven for any foreign terrorists. But the war against terrorism and the remnants of Saddam’s former regime is not over yet.”

“” Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshiyar Zebari

“”””””””””””

“This is a very important victory for the people of Iraq. He was the evil of terrorism. He was responsible for the deaths of many people in Iraq. Having him killed is a very important achievement for us. We are strongly determined to root out the remaining Al Qaeda people.”

“” Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Barham Salih

“”””””””””””

“Zarqawi’s death is a huge victory in the war on terror.”

“This is good news for all Muslims and people of all religions. He was killing people of all faiths.”

“” Gen. Zahir Azimi, Afghan Defense Ministry spokesman

“”””””””””””

“The news of the loss of any human being is a tragedy. I think Zarqawi’s death is a double tragedy. His death will incite a new wave of revenge.”

“” Michael Berg, the father of Nicholas Berg, the kidnapped U.S. contractor believed to have been beheaded by Zarqawi

“”””””””””””

“An evil man is dead, and what more can you say?”

“” Cyndi Armstrong, spokeswoman for the family of U.S. contractor Eugene Armstrong, believed to have been beheaded by Zarqawi
