New video message from The Islamic State: "Desist – It Is Better For You – Wilāyat al-'Irāq, Ṣalāḥ al-Dīn"
Posted on
The title of this release is in reference to Qur’anic verse 4:171. Here it is in full: “Oh People of the Scripture, do not commit excess in your religion or say about God except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of God and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul [created at a command] from Him. So believe in God and His messengers. And do not say, “Three”; desist – it is better for you. Indeed, God is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is God as Disposer of affairs.”

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Aghanistan's Zabīh Allah Mujāhid: "Propaganda By the Kabul Interior Ministry About the Ghazni Battle Is Baseless"
Posted on
Today the Kabul administration’s Interior Ministry once again issued a statement claiming that Pakistani Generals had participated in the operation of conquest of Ghazni and that bodies of Pakistani soldiers were left behind on the streets!!?
We categorically reject these rumors and propaganda being spread by the cowardly enemy.
The Jihadi battle of Ghazni was planned and executed by the Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate while Divine Help and support of the people were its instruments.
Barring these facts, linking this battle to foreign countries or making claims about bodies left behind while lacking any proof are things with which the security apparatus of the Kabul administration seeks to mask their humiliation and divert attention from the issue.
If a foreign country is able to reach Ghazni, send troops or their Generals are able to plan and execute operations in the presence of American invaders and NATO forces and the most advanced technology of the world, then this makes the matter even more embarrassing and shameful for the entire administration in Kabul.
No one has witnessed the bodies of Pakistanis in the battle of Ghazni nor is there any proof of bodies being transferred to Pakistan. The propaganda material (pictures and videos) floating around in social media of old or of unrelated Pakistani events and it being used as evidence by Ashraf Ghani and other officials itself displays the extent of weakness and fear gripping the Kabul administration.
The Afghan nation understands that it is their sons – with insignificant tools and resources but strong faith and determination – who are resisting the invaders and their stooges. Associating the glories and achievements of this nation to foreign parties is national and historic treason which shall carry grave repercussions for the future, Allah willing.
