Islamic State of Iraq Has Been Proclaimed

Tuesday, October 17, 2006

According to Islamic Web sites, the newly formed alliance Hilf Al-Mutayibeen that's includes many of the fighting groups in Iraq has announced that an Islamic State has been declared in many parts of Iraq. The newly formed group spearheaded by the Mujahideen Shura Council includes Jaish Al-Fatiheen, Jund al-Sahaba, Kataeb Ansar al-Tawheed wal-Sunnah, and many Tribal Chiefs among others as well as the Mujahideen Shura Council that consists of Al-Qaeda in Iraq and seven other Mujahideen groups.



An 8:32 minute video was issued by the Mujahideen Shura Council in Iraq today, Sunday, October 15, 2006, declaring the establishment of an Islamic state in Iraq. Depicted is the official spokesman of the Islamic State of Iraq and from its Ministry of Information, dressed in white, seated in front of a flag bearing the banner, "No God but Allah, and Muhammad is His Messenger". A white circle obstructs viewing his face. A message introducing the video explains that the state of the truth, the state of Islam, has been created to protect the Sunni people, and will judge according to the Islamic Shari'a (law), using such as an aegis for the people, and to defend the religion. It also calls upon Muslims to provide financial support, men, and prayers.



He states: "Your brothers announce the establishment of the Islamic State in Baghdad, Anbar, Diyala, Kirkuk, Salah al-Din, Ninawa, and in other parts of the governorate of Babel, in order to protect our religion and our people". Further, the Mujahid delivers a special call to the tribal heads in Iraq, and to all Sunni Muslims in that country, to pledge loyalty to the Emir of the Believers, Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, by their adherence and obedience.



In the video statement, the speaker, whose face was blotted out on the video, said the Islamic state declared by the Mutayibeen Coalition includes Baghdad, the provinces of Anbar, Diyala, Kirkuk, Salahedddin, Nineveh and parts of Babel and Wasit.



The statement reads:



"These are the glad tidings coming out from the Land of the Two Rivers, the land of the Caliphates, and from Baghdad, the home of the Khilafa, may Allah free it from the Crusaders and Saffavids, in the blessed month of Ramadan. The fruits of the tree of Tawheed that the martyrs watered with their blood, have ripened and their time for harvest has come.



The truthful Mujahideen in the land of the two rivers have unified and reinforced one another and announce to the Muslims everywhere and Ahl-as-Sunnah in Iraq especially, the glad tiding of the establishment of the State of Truth, the State of Islam that will implement Allah's Shariah for the people in the land, that will protect Islam and be a strong shield for Ahl-as-Sunnah in the land of the two rivers.



It is the pleasure of the Media Committee to present to all Muslims the official spokesman of the Islamic State of Iraq, the spokesman of the Ministry of Information, to bring you the good news. And we call Upon all Muslims in the world, to support this state with money, men and Du'a, and Allah has full power and control over His affairs, but most of the men know not, and to Allah belongs all thanks and favour."



This is a developing story. More details to come as they are available to the Kavkaz Center news agency.

A message introducing the video explains that the state of the truth, the state of Islam, has been created to protect the Sunni people, and will judge according to the Islamic Shari'a (law), using such as an aegis for the people, and to defend the religion.

Just to highlight the important bit in case anybody missed it.

Yet again, religion being used as an excuse for something totally different, i.e the power should be with "us" and not "them", and yet again no doubt the gullible will fall for it.

We never missed it trumble, it's good news alhamdulillah.



Peace.

We never missed it trumble, it's good news alhamdulillah.

For who? Shi'as? Kurds? Or indeed one of the majority of Sunnis who don't want an 'Islamic State'? Or, as I said, just the gullible?

how can a person be sunni if he/she does not want an islamic state?

And who said these people don't want an islamic state? They want the law of Allaah to be established on earth, it's much better than being oppressed by the US who thinks they have a right over their land.


Peace.

Who said they did? They don't want a fundamentalist Islamic state... go Google up the election results; but even if the Shi'a did it would be on their terms, not those dictated by militant Sunnis and Al Qaeda. As to the US thinking " they have a right over their land" they only interest they have in it at the moment is getting the hell out as soon as possible without leaving thing a bigger shambles than they already are.

It really is amazing how some people can totally abandon all the facts just if doing so happens to suit their world-view.

I pray it becomes reality... but the Shia were given an important task, though Sunnis did not understand it at the time, and they have served the interests of Islam well, by this means. They deserve to be honored too.

The situation in Iraq could end up being the opposite end of the spectrum from Saddam's rule, which is the majority dominating the minority, which was of course the opposite under Saddam. The Kurds will never accept an Islamic state under Shi'ia control, unless enough protections are added to the constitution to keep persecution from occurring.

Hi Trumble.


Do you actually think i'm gna believe google in matters such as this? Anyway, obviously the people who did vote chose the idea of democracy because they agreed with this fact, the people who detested that idea never voted at all - which means that the voting is biased.


The US never had to set foot in the land in the first place, they want oil - it's simple. Why else waste billions to go in a land whereas you can spend all that money on other useful stuff for one's own nation? And no, i don't agree with the point that its for justice. If you want to insert an input (them billions of dollars) theres a motive behind it.

 

[IbnAbdulHakim]

well atleast the US got rid of that tyrant saddam and now a true islamic state can be established

 

[Trumble]

Do you actually think i'm gna believe google in matters such as this?

Up to you, but I see no reason not to. Apart from the facts being inconvenient that is. Google is just a search engine, no doubt you can find a site that will give you figures you would like to see.

The results were pretty much accepted all round, the only real accusations of irregularity being Sunni voters being intimidated in some areas by Shi'a. Turnout was something like 8 million out of 14 million, which is a majority in favour of democracy in your terms and not a bad turnout anywhere in the world these days (by your reasoning a majority of the population in several US States want a dictatorship!). The most frequent reasons for not voting were fear of violence and apathy, not some sort of stand in favour of a theocracy.

According to your sources right? I find it hard to trust the media anyway. Obviously they not gna put islaam in a good light if their fighting the muslims. The same way they never put the russians in a good light in the previous generation.

It's just tactics of war.



Peace.

No, its the counting of ballot papers and voters!

I didn't name any specific sources. If you can find some, Western, Arab, Chinese, whatever that actually give different turnout figures and results to, say, CNN, feel free.

It will never change a sign of unity will never be accepted by those who fear islam and its unity....

and they will question it and spread doubt and try to split brother some by intention some without even knowing what they do...

but unity must begin somewhere...

let sunnis unite at least and then we will see if they can root out those who harm innocents in the name of sunnis...

then lets see the shias unite and root out those who harm the innocents who harm in the name of shias...

then allah grant that they unite and root out those who stain islam..

it will happen clear signs show this...

those of you who see a diffrence in shia and sunni heed thy words you only but help those who wish to see islam in the dirt under there foot...

they know not that lions are not so easily subdued...

And who are "we" exactly? You speak for all muslims? On what authority, apart from your own ego?

There are plenty of muslim countries which have few or none of those things. Any idea why that might be? The Americans are only tramping over a couple of them, so there is no excuse there. The people don't want it - some do, most don't.

Trumble you have to understand, a Muslim will always chose to have the Islamic laws and state over any other form of governing a nation and its people. To put it bluntly the people who want it are Muslims and if a Muslim says he doesn't want it then they are blind followers and do not know what Islam is about.

So the "WE" is are Muslims and true believers. The "Some" that do want it have comprehended what Islam is about and the "Most" have not.

Peace

Brother, its very much evident that Majority of muslims have rejected shariyah laws. I know that its a pill too bitter to swallow. PLz have a unbiased look around muslims nations if u dont believe me.

I agree that ppls who want it are MUSLIMS.

Ironically enough, what I have observed on the Islamic sites like this one, the ppls, who want shariyah laws be implemented on muslims prefer to live under kufr regiems of western societies enjoying freedome of speech and democracy along with luxuries of western lifestyle, and they dont miss a chance to denounce it too.:rollseyes

ALLAH knows best.
