Jihad Watch

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

Islamic State wants “to control the entire world. To annihilate the infidels”

Mar 30, 2015 8:46 am By Robert Spencer

Amir Ahmed AliNote that he was in the Free Syrian Army (SFA) and then says, “Anyone who was with the SFA had to join the ISIS; both in Syria and Iraq.” The Free Syrian Army were the Obama-backed “moderates” whom we were told would fight the Islamic State.

Note also his frank avowal of the Islamic State’s desire to control the whole world. He doesn’t seem to be aware that there is for Christians also the option of submitting to Muslim hegemony and accepting inferior status, but the Islamic State is, as it declared when it took Mosul that it would be collecting the jizya from the Christians.

Also don’t miss how the Islamic State sends sheikhs to their fighters to teach them about Islam. Not that this has anything to do with…Islam.

“ISIS fighter: we wanted to take over the world,” Rudaw, March 30, 2015:

Amir Ahmed Ali, 25, is from Damascus. He was captured by the People’s Protection Units (YPG) in Cizire, in Syria’s ethnically Kurdish area known as Rojava.

In an exclusive interview with Rudaw, Ali said ISIS regarded Kurds and Christians as infidels and revealed how they smuggled weapons to the group.

The interview was conducted in the office of Kurdish security agencies in Derek, in Syria’s Rojava.

How did you get your start with ISIS?

I was with the Free Syrian Army (SFA) where I stayed for over a year. Then we broke away from the SFA. We had to join the ISIS and show our allegiance to them. That is what we did and found ourselves with the ISIS.

How did you join the Islamic State? Why did you join them?

We had no other solution. Anyone who was with the SFA had to join the ISIS; both in Syria and Iraq.

What were you doing before joining the SFA?

I was a driver in Damascus.

Why did you join the SFA?

I wanted the regime to fall. This is why I joined them. I defected the Syrian army to FSA and then ISIS.

What was your position within ISIS?

I was a gunman in charge of the artillery. I took part in clashes.

Were you a religious person before entering the SFA?

Yes, I was.

Were you a fanatic?

What do you mean?

Were you a committed Muslim?

Yes, I was.

What was your aim in joining the ISIS?

The ISIS wanted to create the foundation of an Islamic State in the entire world. It is a project.

What do you mean by foundation?

They wanted to control the entire world. To annihilate the infidels, the Christians and creating an Islamic state. One Islamic state.

But doesn’t Islam preach that the faith is voluntary and not to be forced on people? Why would you force it?

That’s the belief. Those who are in the Islamic state must be Muslims.

Do you think Islam should oppress people?

No.

How do you regard Yezidis and the Christians?

We think they have to convert to Islam. Whether they want it or not

And you agree with that?

I don’t know.

Should there be force involved in Islam?

Yes.

Do you believe in their beliefs completely? And how did you regard the YPG forces?

We killed many of them. Many.

Why did you do that?

We wanted to capture all these areas. Everybody should become Muslims, Kurds or non Kurds.

You viewed them as infidels?

Yes we did.

You regarded Kurds and Christians as infidels?

We saw them as infidels. Christians are infidels.

Didn’t you know most Kurds are Muslims?

We knew.

Didn’t you know it was not right to do so?

No we did not.

Salahaddin Ayubi was a Kurd who established a great Islamic state. There are great Muslim scholars who are Kurdish. Why would you judge them?

You are right.

You would have done what ever they ordered you?

The emirs issued fatwas and we executed them.

This means that you didn’t question it?

No, we didn’t. We implemented it directly.

And if you did not implement the order, what would happen to you?

We would be killed.

Were the orders extreme?

Yes, I thought so.

But do you think the ISIS brand of Islam is too harsh, beheading innocent people?

Most militants would implement the orders.

Do you think the Prophet Muhammad would agree with the killing, Especially the killing of women and children? How could you do that in his name?

Infidel captives are killed soon. Some would be sold.

How did end up joining ISIS?

I was forced to join them. I joined them here in Talhamis, and then in Iraq. Then I was in Iraq and back in Raqqa.

What was your training and how did you learn the basics of Islam?

We were instructed by the sheikhs. A sheikh would come and teach us about prayers and other religious duties. In case of war, they came and said jihad was obligatory and if we were killed we would meet female angels in paradise.

What did you want to do after Iraq and Syria?

We wanted to continue to other countries.

Which countries?

Country by country: Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and the Europe.

With force?

Yes, with force.

How were you captured? Have you changed since you were captured?

I have a different opinion about the YPG. I have been here for three months. I think I was wrong about the YPG. I thought they were infidels in the past. But now I think we regarded them wrongfully.

You truly think so?

This is my opinion now.

What about your friends in ISIS?

Even they regret the past atrocities like killing and beheading people.

You say so with full conviction?

Yes, I do.

Will ISIS leave you alone if released?

No, they will kill us.

How can you make amends for the past atrocities you committed?

I will ask God’s for forgiveness and pray and fast.

You thought you were fighting for paradise and female angels?

Yes, I did.

How many angels?

72.

What did they tell you about the angels?

They are beyond any description.

Are they reserved for both gunmen and the emirs [leader]?

For everyone.

The emirs take part in clashes or just order you to fight?

Yes, they do.

Were there any foreign emirs?

Yes, there were. From Libya, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and even China and other countries.

What about Egypt?

Abu Abdulla the Egyptian, he was a mufti.

Was he killed?

Yes, he was.

Were there too many emirs?

Yes, they were.

What do you think about the events in Egypt and the Muslim Brotherhood?

Every one visited every one else, as if they had relations with each other.

You mean they were in contact with each other?

Iraqi emirs visited Syria and the other way around as if they wanted to facilitate things for each other.

Did you have a salary?

No, there are no salaries in the Islamic State.

How come?

Everyone is a volunteer.

What about war gains and looting?

You can keep war trophies like guns and pistols, but cars are for the [Islamic] State and is their property.

How was your role? How were you regarded?

We were like all other mujahids.

Do you have female fighters? What do they do?

No, I have not seen female fighters.

You have not seen any females?

No, I have not.

Have you heard about the jihad of nikah? Is it backed by Islam?

Yes, I have. The mujahidin are benefitted by it.

If they asked you to do a jihad of nikah, would you do it?

Like any other jihadi.

When you fought the YPG, did you think you would not end up in paradise if you were killed by a female fighter?

No we thought we would end up in paradise when we were killed.

Even if you were killed at the hands of a woman?

There are no differences between men and women….


Where did you get your weapons?

From Iraq, Libya, Turkey and Saudi Arabia. We smuggle it in.

Libya is far away, how is it possible?

It’s possible through smuggling.

What about Turkey?

Turkey is close. Through Raqqa. We receive weapons from Babolhawa gate.

    Oh Muslim. Before you “Take over the world”, you may want to reconsider your position of confidence…..

    “Then I saw a great white throne and Him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from His presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.”

    Revelation 20:11–15

      Sadly this means nothing to them, they prefer Islam where their sins are forgiven when they run around the idol stone or blow themselves up killing infidels.,just their sacrifice to Baal and spend eternity drunk romping around with a crowd of virgins.
      You couldn’t make it up, apart from the illiterate sex-obsessed slaughtering pedophile who did.

      I know an ex-Muslim who said he realised at one point how absurd Muslim paradise was. totally unspiritual, so left Islam and converted to Christianity but had to flee to the West with his wife also a convert he met at church, the daughter of an Imam who had been tortured by HER OWN FAMILY for apostasy which left her with damage she is still having surgery for and fears she cannot have children.

      That anyone can believe this stuff ! Our ex-Muslim friend is horrified the West should support Islam and he his wife,many like him feel very afraid here now.
      Thanks leftie Nazi’s. This is your doing.

    That’s what Islam wants to rule the whole world. They’ve always been like that right from the beginning. But in a certain way we in the West have to blame ourselves because of ISIS. Everywhere in Western countries the root cause for all this should be banned the Muslim Brotherhood. The MB can act everywhere unabated and they spawn all these terror organisations.

    • Joginder Singh says

      Mar 30, 2015 at 11:40 am

      Not just the muslim brotherhood but every other muslim organisation along with all muslim useful idiots be they on the left or right in the MSM, Government, legal system, universities, education etc all will have to be cleared out

      • voegelinian says

        Mar 30, 2015 at 2:51 pm

        Yes. The problem is not merely the Muslim Brotherhood; not merely Saudi Arabia; not merely Iran; not merely the “Wahhabis”; not merely the “Salafis”; not merely the “extremists”, the “radicals”, the “Islamists”, the “imams”, etc ad Islamonauseam.

        The problem is Islam, and all Muslims enable that problem.

        • Huck Folder says

          Mar 30, 2015 at 3:15 pm

          I have made a similar comment before, maybe even more pointed:

          Where do ‘extremists’, ‘jihadists’, ‘radicals’, ‘salafists’, ‘wahhabists’ come from?
          They don’t spring fully-formed from the womb.
          They don’t come from the ranks of Christians/Jews/Buddhists…

          THEY COME FROM THE RANKS OF THE ‘MODERATES’.

        • terry says

          Mar 31, 2015 at 12:52 pm

          “The problem is Islam, and all Muslims enable that problem.”

          That’s exactly it, voegelinian. This especially goes to all so called “moderate Muslims” in the west, who keep on saying that it’s not their problem.

          As long as there are people walking this planet, carrying Islam’s label, this on-massive-scale cult will continue to survive with all its poisonous human killing fruits.

      • epistemology says

        Mar 30, 2015 at 8:00 pm

        Agreed Joginder, but all these terrorist organisations you mention are offshoots of the MB. We’ve got to destroy them all and we need a global strategy. We’ve got to begin in the West, we can’t let anybody in who wants to destroy our values

      He doesn’t seem to care much if it’s right or wrong: KILL, KILL, KILL.

      These are psychopathic killers like Hitler’s mass murderers. They’ve turned off their humanity.

    Interesting the comment about an emir from China. No doubt from the Western provinces where railway station terror attacks are frequent.

    “A sheikh would come and teach us about prayers and other religious duties. In case of war, they came and said jihad was obligatory and if we were killed we would meet female angels in paradise.”

    To a limited extent the sheikh was correct. They’ll be met by angels……

    Fallen angels.

    It’s a sobering thought that most Muslims can’t think for themselves and are brainwashed into believing that the Bible is corrupted.

    When in fact, The Word of God is alive and active……

    “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
    That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.”

    2 Timothy 3:16-17

    This interview is very telling – “The emirs issued fatwas and we executed them.”

    Here’s a prime example of THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND!

    The real truth is that islam has nothing to do with “submission” to the will of the allah-god, IT’S ABOUT SUBMISSION TO WHOEVER HAS THE MOST AK-47s. These loons blindly follow their emirs and sheikhs out of sheer terror for their lives. What’s more, I’m absolutely positive that these “teachers” made it clear to their “students” that failure to obey every instruction to the letter would result in the jihadi losing his 72 muzzloid whores and being ROASTED in hell for all eternity. WHAT TOTAL RUBBISH!!!

    • voegelinian says

      Mar 30, 2015 at 2:55 pm

      “These loons blindly follow their emirs and sheikhs out of sheer terror for their lives.”

      This is a crucial misapprehension all too typical in the Counter-Jihad — still making the mistake of superimposing our psychology & culture onto that of Muslims. What RG’s analysis misses is the positive reason why Muslims follow the sheiks & imams. He only proffers a negative reason (fear of being killed). The positive reason — the fanatical belief shared by the front-line soldiers — is crucial for us to understand. Otherwise, we are left with a deceptively comforting analysis that the “real problem” is an Elite of Clerics who are brainwashing everyone else, as though the vast majority of Muslims are victims and not co-dependent enablers of the rampant psycho-cultural disease that is endangering the world.

    They could never take over with force. But the muslims that we need to worry about who will take over are stealth Jihadists like CAIR who is infiltrating our system on a daily basis. m

    Amir deserves credit for brevity and clarity. He probably did the entire interview in the time it takes Obama to blame Bush obliquely once.

    If they asked you to do a jihad of nikah, would you do it?

    Like any other jihadi.

    As the translation goes, it seems like he is agreeing to offer himself up for use by the other jihadists 😉

    Turkey sends them arms and manpower.

    Turkey is supporting the genocide of Kurds and the genocide of Assad’s people.

    Thank you for posting this video, it’s a bit more “3-d”, if that makes sense, than a lot of what else we see. It’s beneficial to see these in-depth interviews because you see other aspects of jihadis which are very informative– such as disposition, nuances of facial expression, what seems to humor them, anger them, confuse them, amuse them, interest them, draw rote answers from them, bore them, initiate seeming deception,, anger them, scare them, etc. The human brain is genius at making sense of these things but we’re hardly ever presented with the data.
