Having declared a Caliphate across
captured swathes of Iraq and Syria, and
emboldened by the vincible resistance
by the Iraq Army, the Islamic State of
Iraq and Syria has called on Muslims to
be dutiful and immigrate to the Islamic
State.
In a new audio message of 19 minutes,
titled "A Message to the Mujahideen
and the Muslim Ummah in the Month of
Ramadan," the ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-
Baghdadi, also appointed as the Caliph
of the Islamic State, says that all the
Muslims of Iraq and Syria must 'rush' to
the Caliphate because hijrah to the
land of Islam is obligatory", the BBC
reported.
He also made a "special call" for the
elite Muslims like judges, doctors,
engineers and people with military and
administrative expertise, to join the
Islamic State, the report added.
Baghdadi egged on the fighters to
intensify attacks during the holy month
of Ramadan, which started this
Sunday.
"Rush O Muslims to your state. Yes, it is
your state. Rush, because Syria is not
for the Syrians, and Iraq is not for the
Iraqis," al-Baghdadi is heard as saying
in the new audio message according to
the BBC.
"This is my advice to you. If you hold to
it you will conquer Rome and own the
world, if Allah wills."
"O Muslims everywhere, whoever is
capable of performing hijrah
(emigration) to the Islamic State, then
let him do so, because hijrah to the
land of Islam is obligatory," he added.
al-Baghdadi, unlike al Qaeda chiefs,
does not appear in the video messages
and apparently keeps a low profile.
He urged the militants to fight for jihad
saying, there is no deed in this
virtuous month or in any other month
better than jihad in the path of Allah.
Baghdadi has also enlisted a number of
countries, including Central African
Republic and Myanmar, where he said,
he will take revenge as the Muslims
there were being mistreated.
"Terrify the enemies of Allah and seek
death in the places where you expect
to find it," he said. "Your brothers, on
every piece of this earth, are waiting for
you to rescue them."
"By Allah, we will take revenge! Even if
it takes a while, we will take revenge,"
he said.
In an earlier recording that came on the
first day of Muslim Holy month of
Ramadan, the ISIS declared the
establishment of an 'Islamic State' in
the territories that they have captured
across Iraq and Syria and appointed
their chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as the
Caliph or the head of the state.
The ISIS launched a lightning offensive
on Iraq in June, taking over the city of
Mosul overnight and advancing rapidly
to capture wider swathes
The Iraq Army meanwhile has just
started to present a robust show
against the suni fighters but has not
been able to retake the city of Tikrit,
the hometown of Saddam Hussein.
Also, in what signifies the increased
power of the ISIS, their fighters were
seen parading, armed with weapons as
sophisticated as a Scud missile across
Syria's Raqqa.
Meanwhile on Tuesday, the ISIS
claimed to have taken the Syrian city of
Boukamal, on the border with Iraq.
More than 2000 people have been
killed in violence in June, according to
the United Nations.
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the self-styled
leader of the jihadist Islamic State in
Iraq and the Levant (Isis) militant
group, has called on Muslims to travel
to Iraq and Syria to help build an
Islamic state.
In an audio message, al-Baghdadi said
it is the sacred duty of all Muslims to
immigrate to the "Islamic State".
According to the BBC, the Isis leader
has made a special call for judges,
doctors, engineers and people with
military and administrative expertise to
help him to form an Islamic state, or
caliphate, on territories it controls in
Iraq and Syria.
Isis has claimed that the current Iraqi
government under Prime Minister Nur-e
Maliki has lost control of vast swathes
of territory to Sunni militants over the
past month.
The group says its Islamic state will
extend from Aleppo in northern Syria to
Diyala province in eastern Iraq.
Al-Baghdadi is on record, as saying that
Syria is not for Syrians, and Iraq is not
for Iraqis. He has also called on jihadist
fighters to escalate fighting during the
holy month of Ramadan, which began
on Sunday.
The Sunni insurgent advance across
Iraqi towns and cities has plunged Iraq
into its worst crisis since US troops left
in 2011.
