Press Release
The Steadfastness of the People of Ash-Sham is a Thorn in the Eyes the Crusader West and its Aides and Tools
(Translated)

While the Western nations are hostile to any movement working for radical change and to overthrow the agent rulers and their regimes and to cut the hand of the Kaffir colonizer and its corporations, embassies and spies in the Muslims countries... While they spend on those countries to prevent with their claims the resumption of the Islamic way of life by establishing the Khilafah "Caliphate" upon the method of Prophethood which was the glad-tiding of the slave and Messenger of Allah (saw).... While this spending comes with unprecedented generosity and large amounts of money, whether to supply the regime of Bashar with hard currency, food, and fuel or to supply Iran's Hezb in Lebanon with arms that enable it to spill the blood of the people of Ash-Sham... And while this malignant spending is mounting, the sincere people in Ash-Sham stand with their humble capabilities as a rock, an obstacle in the way of the America and its henchmen's schemes to prevent the correct change, as well as standing in the face of America's schemes from flooding the region in a series of systematic and intentional bloodshed and destruction, whether in Ash-Sham or in Iraq, Libya, Yemen or Egypt! Therefore the Western countries' spending will be a source of regret for them:

(إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُنْفِقُونَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ لِيَصُدُّوا عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَسَيُنْفِقُونَهَا ثُمَّ تَكُونُ عَلَيْهِمْ حَسْرَةً ثُمَّ يُغْلَبُونَ وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا إِلَى جَهَنَّمَ يُحْشَرُونَ)

"Indeed, those who disbelieve spend their wealth to avert [people] from the way of Allah. So they will spend it; then it will be for them a [source of] regret; then they will be overcome. And those who have disbelieved - unto Hell they will be gathered" [Al-Anfal: 36]

Russia and Iran have acknowledged the existence of experts carrying out schemes of mass destruction of towns and villages in Syria. Studies by experts and specialists in Iraq showed that the Iraqi army is now proceeding in what it calls counterterrorism like a roller crushing with its military machine villages and entire neighborhoods and deliberately wiping them out of existence, without military or moral justification for its action except that they are American orders, which were carried out by Al-Maliki and their implementation is guaranteed by his successor Al-Abadi and his partners. This is America's pursuit, to destroy everything that would help, in their view, the coming Khilafah "Caliphate" state, by the permission of Allah, its establishment, continuity, steadfastness, and revival. This is because in their rotten capitalist ideology the criteria for action is purely material; they think that the foundation of the Islamic State is the same as the foundations of their state, so they miscalculated and missed their objective and were disappointed. Islam was built by the hard work of its people and the diligence of its aware and sincere youth. The Messenger of Allah (saw) did not depend on the existence of infrastructure and superstructure in building his state in Medina, but relied on real men; the carriers of the reviving thoughts through which the state will be established and with their efforts the state will manufacture machines, whether military or industrial.

So we say to the true sincere revolutionaries of the Ummah's revolution:

The thought is the basis that moves the weapon, and directs the weapon in the right direction; this is how we defeated the Roman State and tore the Zoroastrian state in Persia, and thus we have established a unique Islamic rule that lasted nearly three centuries; and with the reviving Islamic ideology alone we will defeat the East and the West. As for the weapon as you can see, it is an evil in the hand of those who have no thoughts, but it is good in the hands of those with the correct thoughts by whom the victories will be achieved, by the permission of Allah, and with them the hearts of Muslims will be stirred and their hands purified with wudu will be raised to pray to Allah to grant them victorious..

The strikes of the sincere revolutionaries in Jobar and especially Zabadani and in all regions of the countryside of Ash- Sham in general, have painfully impacted the regime and its cronies in the past few days, prompting the demons of mankind and the jinn to meet again under the guise of the fight against terrorism (EU envoy is to meet with al-Jaafari in Baghdad 01/02/2015) to extend a helping hand to the criminals in Syria and Iraq to increase the murder and destruction; it is no wonder that the tyrant of Damascus cast at the same time dozens of barrels devastating Zabadani and Madaya in retaliation for the killing of the real terrorists in command of his army, while continuing in the chemical attacks on the resilient Jobar showing a legendary steadfastness.

O blessed heroes sincerely stationed on the fronts of the Glory of Islam

You have defeated your enemy, and exhausted those spiteful of Islam and its people and you have aborted their project to establish the civil secular state, do not be distracted by the schemes of your enemies to divide you. And do not be fooled by the calls of the Coalition of America to establish a national army, it will be the new tool in the implementation of its plans to break your endeavors to restore the country to the days of Omar bin Abdul Aziz, who ordered to disperse seeds to feed the birds on the mountain tops. And do not lose the trust so that you do not lose your popular support which is one of the most important base for your victory, by the permission of Allah, do not despair of Allah's Spirit, the Khilafah "Caliphate" is coming, InshaAllah, even if the enemies of Islam detest it.
