Al Qa'idah (AQ) - Tarbiyah Jihadiyah

Announcement: AQ Iraq & Syria Merger (April 2013):The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (Dawlat-ul Islam fi-l Iraq wa ash-Sham):In early April 2013 , Abu Bakr al Baghdadi al Husseini (the leader of AQ in Iraq and a descendant of theMessenger of God, Muhammad, blessings be on him) announced the merger of Jabhat al Nusra with theIslamic State of Iraq (ISI) (the AQ group in Iraq). He would rename it; the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham [ISIaS] (Greater Syria/the Levant.). This sent shockwaves across the Syrian revolution, becausebefore this - Jabhat al Nusra had not explicitly said it was part of Al Qa'idah (AQ). Many expertscomment that the reason why Abu Bakr al Baghdadi said this at that specific time was because Westernnations were planning on providing secular non-Islamic rebel groups with weapons, by officiallypronouncing that AQ is present in Syria, the western public would be against their governmentsproviding weapons to AQ. This is exactly what AQ want, because they know those weapons will be givento secular rebels to fight the Islamic fighters in the future. By preventing Western intervention and thesecular rebels from being given powerful weapons, AQ can establish an Islamic State in Greater Syria (al-Sham), the most blessed of lands on Earth.^ The Map shows Syria and Iraq as one nation under the Islamic flag, ignoring the Sykes-Picot borders.Arabic says: The announcement of the establishment of the Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham (Greater Syria), underthe leadership of the Commander of the Believers (Ameer ul Mu’mineen) – the Shaikh Abu Bakr al Baghdadi alHusseini al Qureishi.29
