A two-page statement congratulating the Taliban was released by the Islamic terror group Al-Qaeda and it said the victory of the Taliban is a cause of celebration for the “Islamic Ummah” i.e. the entire Islamic community in Afghanistan and presumably in all of Asia.
According to the reports, the congratulatory message was released by As-Sahab, al Qaeda’s media arm, in Arabic and English hours after the last American soldiers left Afghanistan.
Earlier United States President Joe Biden had famously claimed that Al Qaedahas been destroyed and in his address to the nation on Tuesday September 1 said, “We delivered justice to bin Laden on May 2nd, 2011, over a decade ago. Al-Qaeda was decimated,” however this boombastic statement seems was only meant for his domstic audiance.
In its statement titled “Congratulations to the Islamic Ummah on the victory granted by Allah in Afghanistan!”, Al-Qaeda’s leadership has praised Allah for the victory, saying it “soothed” their hearts to hear verses from the Quran recited in the Presidential Palace in Kabul after it had been “cleansed from the filth of the Americans”.
Also, in the statement, Al-Qaeda called for the “liberation of Kashmir” and other so-called Islamic lands from the “clutches of the enemies of Islam”.
“We praise the Almighty, the Omnipotent, who humiliated and defeated America, the head of disbelief,” the statement read, adding, “We praise Him for breaking America’s back, tarnishing its global reputation and expelling it, disgraced and humiliated, from the Islamic land of Afghanistan.”
The terror group which carried out the 9/11 attack twenty years ago said that the Taliban as the Islamic Emirate was a “graveyard of empires” and an “impregnable fortress” and praised four Taliban leaders for achieving victory in Afghanistan, the three emirs of the group since its founding, and Jalaluddin Haqqani, a close confidant of Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan.
“On this historic occasion, we would like to offer our congratulations to the leadership of the Islamic Emirate, specifically Haibatullah Akhundzada,” the statement read. “May Allah accept your martyrs – the men, women and children who offered sacrifices in this path!” the statement said.
Al-Qaeda praised Mullah Omar who defied America by refusing to turn over Osama bin Laden in 2001. “With firm trust in Allah’s promise of victory, [Omar] made his famous statement, the echo of which can be heard today, loud and clear, all across Afghanistan, indeed all across the Islamic World,” the letter read.
Al-Qaeda then describes Mullah Omar’s vow in 2001 that read, “Allah has promised us victory, and Bush has promised us defeat; we shall see which of the two promises shall be fulfilled!”.
The statement continues, “May Allah bless the soul of the Emir of the Believers, the defiant, uncompromising leader, Mullah Akhtar Mansour!”.
Al-Qaeda also asks Allah to “have mercy on the mentor of the Mujahideen, the father of martyrs, Sheikh Jalaluddin Haqqani.”
“We call upon the Afghan nation to abide by the decisions and Shariah-based policies of the blessed Islamic Emirate,” the statement read. Al Qaeda also asked the Islamic ummah to extend its total support to the Islamic Emirate in all fields, specifically at this critical juncture in which all forces of disbelief have set their eyes upon this Islamic nation.
In the detailed statement issued by Al-Qaeda it called for liberation of Kashmir, Palestine, the Levant, Somalia, and Yemen.
“0′ Allah! Liberate the Levant, Somalia, Yemen, Kashmir and the rest of the Islamic lands from the clutches of the enemies of Islam. 0’ Allah! Grant freedom to Muslim prisoners across the world”.
Al-Qaeda has said that the victory of the Taliban over the US has proved that the way of Jihad is the only way that can defeat the “American Empire of Evil” and is a “tremendous source of inspiration for the oppressed of the world,”.
