Abu Sayyaf Al-Ansari Pledges Allegiance to ISIL from Tripoli
[An Nahar] Abu Sayyaf al-Ansari on Saturday pledged from the northern city of Tripoli...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... allegiance to the al-Qaeda-linked Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant ... the current version of al-Qaeda in Iraq, just as blood-thirsty and well-beloved as the original... , calling on Sunnis enlisted in the army to defect and "repent." "After the expansion of the Islamic mission from Iraq to the Levant, and its adoption of a correct path that could not be weakened or misrepresented by the decedents of Al Saloul, who are supported by the United States and by the crusaders, we decided from Tripoli to pledge allegiance to ISIL and to ally with it," al-Ansari said in a video recording. "We also vow allegiance to Abu Bakr (al-Baghdadi, the Iraqi leader of ISIL) and we will be their gate to Leb and the Kingdom of Jerusalem," he added, revealing that they suggested reviving cells that belong to the ISIL in the country to continue "calling for jihadism." He explained the decision: "We only became active because the Islamic nation is losing its determination and is being shaken by the disloyalty of the Lebanese crusaders, who are endorsed by Hizbullah." "But the heroes of the 'Abdullah Azzam Brigades ... Leb's current al-Qaeda affiliate, named after a guy whose car the current head of al-Qaeda had boomed... ' tortured the defectors in general and the supporters of Iran in particular, who announced their war against Sunnis and we took our decision after we referred to a Koranic verse that allows the vulnerable that are being attacked to fight back ." Al-Ansari continued: "We could not handle the whoredum of the devil's party (Hizbullah) at the expense of the Sunnis in Leb and crusaders' media campaigns portrayed us as krazed killers, forces of Evil that only cause destruction and chaos." Addressing Sunnis in Leb, he said: "We tell you we are your brothers, sons and servants and we assault the unbelievers with you so do not forget to be prepared." He also warned the Sheikhs in general and the members of the Committee of Mohammedan Ulemas in particular, urging them to endorse him. "We demand you not to stab us in the back after we entrusted you with your lives," he expressed. "We ask for your advice and recommendation when we commit mistakes." He also called on Sunnis "incorrectly enlisted in the crusaders's army to fear God and to repent." "You are our brothers, and we urge you not to become a knife used by Christians and defectors to stab us with in the back." He remarked that this video recording is only a message that will be followed by a speech from ISIL's spokesperson in Leb Abu Omar al-Mohajer. Posted by: Fred 2014-01-27 |
