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

Tunisian Muslim leader: Use ISIS victories “to unite all the jihadi factions”

Jun 17, 2014 8:56 pm By Robert Spencer

Abu Iyadh al-TunsiNote here again that everything that Abu Iyadh Al-Tunsi says is in the cause of Islam and in the service of Islam. The advance of Islam is his sole motive and goal. And yet it is the one thing about him and others like him that Western analysts discount.

“Ansar Al-Shari’a In Tunisia: The ISIS Victories In Iraq Should Be Used To Unite The Jihadis,” MEMRI, June 16, 2014:

In a June 14, 2014 statement, Abu Iyadh Al-Tunsi, the leader of Ansar Al-Shari’a in Tunisia, congratulates the Muslim nation on the recent victories of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in Iraq, and calls to use these victories to unite the global jihad movement. More specifically, he urges Al-Qaeda leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri and Jabhat Al-Nusra leader Abu Muhammad Al-Joulani to publicly congratulate ISIS on its achievements in order to end the internal fighting among the jihad fighters in Syria.

The following are excerpts from the statement:

“While I congratulate our nation – and the mujahideen in the land of Iraq, [who are] the crown upon our heads – for the victories in the Land of Two Rivers [Iraq], I wish to use this blessed opportunity to to turn to our commanders and sheikhs, may Allah preserve them, wherever they are, in the prisons or anywhere else, [and address them] with these words:…

“We must take advantage of these victories that Allah granted the Islamic nation, and use them to unite all the jihadi factions that are struggling to raise the banner of monotheism and striving to enact the Islamic shari’a in the land. We must convene all the brothers, and review the policy of jihad in Syria in light of the regional developments, in accordance with [Allah’s] words: ‘Allah loves those who fight for his cause in ranks as firm as a mighty edifice [Koran 61:4].’ All the mujahideen must renew their intentions and sit together in order to revive the custom of consultation [shura] and dialogue, which disappeared from the arena several months ago, and reconcile, which will enrage the enemies…

“Our brothers the mujahideen, as well as the sheikhs and the preachers, must cloak themselves in supreme courage… and rush to bring about reconciliation among all parties, which will lead to rebuilding [the jihadi enterprise]. I recommend that the two sheikhs, Ayman Al-Zawahiri… and Abu Muhammad Al-Joulani, rush to congratulate [ISIS on] these victories… This may lead the leaders of the organizations that are fighting each other to put an end to the battle and the struggle between them…

“Likewise, I call upon Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi… to hurry and respond to the calls [for reconciliation issued] by the honorable commanders and clerics who asked him, publicly and in secret, to revive the custom of his forefather [Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, from whom Al-Baghdadi is claimed to be a descended]. Let this year’s Ramadan be a festival of unity and a celebration of the collapse of the global projects of unbelief in the region.

“I wish to remind my brothers, the ISIS fighters and the Sunni tribesmen, to whom Allah has granted victory, that they must not forget Allah’s grace, and that they must be mindful of the laws of victory, [which involve] humility towards Allah and mercy toward people. I beseech Allah to accept [their efforts], elevate their status and reward them with the best of rewards on behalf of our nation, and let them be an instrument for the return of the promised Caliphate that follows the path of the Prophet.”

    Extremists in all religions say that they have God or the gods on their side even though they really do not.

      ”Extremists in all religions … ”

      And which ‘extremists’ would those be ?

      Where are the Christians decorating the streets of Mosul with the severed heads of their enemies ? Where are the Jews doing likewise ? Or Sikhs, or Hindus, or Buddhists ?

      The only religious ‘extremists’ today who are murdering, raping, destroying, torturing and beheading, are the * mohammedans*. And they are fulfilling what their vile koran, and foul ‘prophet’, tell them to do.

      Go and take your witless moral equivalence elsewhere. You won’t find anyone here who will buy your self -righteous stupidities.

    Another devout Muslim that has spent his entire life studying the Qur’an and Muhammad’s Sunnah is calling for global jihad, the implementation of Sharia law, and the next and final caliphate.

    This guy must be a horrible “Islamophobe” or something!

    We ex-Muslims living with Islam’s formal and informal death penalty know that Islamic theology is a complete and total fraud.

    Here is a recent statement from a group of Bangladeshi apostates living in the UK explaining the reasons why they have abandoned Islam:

    “One who claims to be a messenger of God is expected to live a saintly life. He must not be given to lust, he must not be a sexual pervert, and he must not be a rapist, a highway robber, a war criminal, a mass murderer or an assassin. One who claims to be a messenger of God must have a superior character. He must stand above the vices of the people of his time. Yet Muhammad’s life is that of a gangster godfather. He raided merchant caravans, looted innocent people, massacred entire male populations and enslaved the women and children. He raped the women captured in war after killing their husbands and told his followers that it is okay to have sex with their captives (Qur’an 33:50). He assassinated those who criticized him and executed them when he came to power and became de facto despot of Arabia. Muhammad was bereft of human compassion. He was an obsessed man with his dreams of grandiosity and could not forgive those who stood in his way…

    The statement continues,

    Muhammad was a narcissist, like Hitler, Saddam or Stalin. He was astute and knew how to manipulate people, but his emotional intelligence was less evolved than that of a 6-year-old child. He simply could not feel the pain of others. He brutally massacred thousands of innocent people and pillaged their wealth. His ambitions were big and as a narcissist he honestly believed he is entitled to do as he pleased and commit all sorts of crimes and his evil deeds are justified. ”

    ISIS is actually more scary than any of the other “Arab Spring” takeovers.

    Algeria and Libya are relatively weak and isolated. France immediately limited their ability to (quickly) continue in Africa and Egypt’s military re-takeover keeps moving east in check. Syria itself is fairly central, but Assad might be able to delay or weekend the inevitable.

    However, of key import, no other group has erased a border. Algeria, Libya, etc. are still states. Their leaders haven’t trusted or thought about anything trans-national.

    The ISIS in Iraq and Syria are a much larger and immediate threat. If they hold or continue making gains… they show you can make your own borders. The post war British borders don’t mean anything. Nationalism is gone… religious affiliations win. It is also an insanely good central position. Even if the Kurds hold the north and Iranian support the east, they control oil, massive numbers of weapons, now a good population base, and can claim a victory over the US. Given control for a year… Syria itself will likely fall. While Iran will make a barrier to the east, such a trans-state would be next to Lebanon, Kuwait, and Jordan… all ripe pickings. The Kurds are isolated. It is also next to Saudi Arabia and Turkey… both of which it could hasten their fall.

    Further, the US is left with virtually no good options. Continue supporting the Saudis? Hope Israel fights for Lebanon and Jordan? Let Iran cross over into Iraq and fight them — while allowing them to continue their nuclear options.
