Al Qaeda Declares War Against Islamic State Takfiri

al-Zawahiri vs al Baghadadi

Al Qaeda’s Ayman al Zawahiri and Islamic State’s Abu Bakr al Baghdadi

Highlights:

Emir Ayman al-Zawahiri, the leader al Qaeda on Wednesday September 9th declared war on the Islamic State Takfiri in an audio message released online. Zawahiri took over al Qaeda’s leadership after its former Emir Osama bin Laden was killed four years ago.

The message was released a few hours before the anniversary on the worst terrorist attack on America by Al Qaeda; 9/11 blasting fellow jihadists and their Emir Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

Summary:

Barely a few hours to the anniversary of the worst ever terrorist attack on America orchestrated by al Qaeda, their leader released an audio message on line declaring ‘war’ on fellow jihadist the Islamic State.

Al Qaeda’s emir Ayman al-Zawahiri who ascended to lead al Qaeda four years ago after the death of Osama Bin Laden, accused Islamic State’s leader Abu Bakr al- Baghdadi of sedition and wrongfully anointing himself the fourth caliph in Islam history.

Sedition: is the act of conducting or speaking incitement to people to invoke rebellion against authority, state, government or established order.

The war declaration was prompted by Baghdadi’s seditious demands asking all the mujahedeen to reject all their confirmed allegiances and shift it to the Islamic State that has established the self-title caliphate.

Zawahiri expressed dismay at Baghdadi’s nerve to establish a caliphate and his declaration as the caliphate without consulting the Muslims.

The public declaration of war has now confirmed the war and rift that exists between the two rival terror organizations. According to experts on counterterrorism, the war of the two groups will create irreconcilable drift between the two groups siting had they formed an alliance that would have been catastrophic.

The rift between the two is very strategic and could be the break the counter-terrorism efforts require to launch a major operation and exploit their weaknesses pitting the two groups against each other quickening both their downfalls.

      I don’t side with any of the groups the vast majority of their victims are Muslims and they don’t represent the rest of Muslims in the world. My problem is how you, just like the terrorists insist that what they do is an accurate representation of Islam. So in reality you have more in common with them than the majority of Muslims.

      Terrorism is aproject created by westerns to demolish Islam..the right way for humankind..so whatever u see in the media or eye witnes are people disguised themselves in Islam in order to divide and break this holy faith of God to mankind and to creat aroom where everyone endup hating islam of which i read it even now in the comments but God promised that victory at the end belongs to the muslims.

    IS ‘ISIL’ A CIA-MOSSAD CREATION? YES ,The Edward Snowden documents supposedly reveal that British, American and Israeli intelligence worked together to create IS, “a terrorist organization capable of centralizing all extremist actions across the world,” using a strategy called Hornet’s Nest designed to “protect Israel.” According to the documents, “The only solution for the protection of the Jewish state is to create an enemy near its borders.” The leader of the radical Islamic State (IS), Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, has been reputed to be a Mossad-trained operative whose real name is Elliot Shimon, the son of Jewish parents.The leaked documents purportedly revealed that al-Baghdadi took intensive military training for a year from Mossad as well as courses in theology and Arabic speech

    Well remember that the human trafficking is another one of their strategy to have so many of the terrorists in Europe as political refugees so that when they are strong enough then the blood thirsty agents of death will begin their murderous campaign to destroy Christianity and take over Europe. The west should be aware of this and deny the so called migrants entry to Europe which is piloted by ISIS and AL QAIDA.
