In a recent video, posted on the Internet on August 13, British Islamist Abu Sayfullah outlines the vision of ISIS for an Islamic Caliphate that includes Spain and all other lands that were once Muslim. "They are the only people that I see sending an army to help [the Palestinians]," he said. This video compilation also includes excerpts from lectures given in December 2013 and July 2014, in which he justifies the killing of British soldier Lee Rigby in Woolwich.
Following are excerpts:
August 13, 2014:
Abu Sayfullah: My brothers, the only people I see in the world today that are going to send an army to help the Muslims in Palestine are from the Islamic State. They are the only people that I see sending an army to help them. That's why you see that they are fighting against those apostate governments, like the Iraqi Shiite Al-Maliki government, and like the Shiite Syrian government, removing these obstacles in the way of reaching Palestine.
If you live long enough, Allah willing, you will see Palestine being liberated. Like Saladin Al-Ayyubi – the last time Palestine was under occupation by the Crusaders from Europe, he recaptured that land. Our land has always had trouble in that region.
My brothers, the conquest of Jerusalem will return, Allah willing, and God willing, you will see it in your lifetime. You see, the Islamic State was not formed just for Iraq and Syria. On their minds, in their vision, is the complete liberation of all Muslim lands. They even set out a five-year plan, showing the capturing, or recapturing, of all Muslim land – at one point, when it used to be under the Islamic state, from Spain all the way to North Africa, the whole Arabian Peninsula, all the way to Afghanistan, India, Bangladesh, all this region. That is their vision.

Abu Sayfullah: Every Muslim believes in Jihad. Jihad is part of Islam just like praying is part of Islam. Today, the infidels want us to delete this aspect of our religion. You can understand why, just in the simple fact of what the definition of Jihad is. If you understand who you do Jihad against... You don't do Jihad against Muslims. Jihad is against the infidels. So does it come as any surprise why they don't want Muslims to believe in Jihad? Because they don't want us to do Jihad against them.

They fail to condemn the killing of British soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. So the British, American, French – whoever it may be – who gets killed shooting bullets at our brothers and sisters, and dropping bombs on their heads... If we don't feel sad by that and we don't condemn their death, we are extreme. Allah be praised.
So what is that saying? Is that to say that we should regard them as heroes, that they died in great honor? Fighting against who? As one brother said, they are not in Afghanistan shooting at trees. They are shooting bullets at Muslims. They are dropping bombs on Muslims. And I'm supposed to feel sad and condemn one of them being killed?! Who told them to go all the way to Afghanistan? Who told the British army to... You know, America was attacked in 9/11, but the reality is that when American says: "Jump!", Britain says: "How high?"

Abu Sayfullah: The Woolwich attack that happened... Obviously, we've talked about it before, my brothers. It's obvious. We don't need to delve into why this happened.
The brother who carried out this revenge attack for what's happening to the Muslims said in his own video statement why he did what he did. He said he killed this man because he is a British soldier, and because people like that are killing Muslims.
We don't need to come up with our own special theory why this happened. The infidels are coming out in the media and saying: "Look, he killed this innocent man." This British soldier who went to Afghanistan, and Allah knows best how many, if any, Muslims he killed... He was wearing a "Help for Heroes" T-shirt and a military rucksack, and even the brother who carried out the attack said that he killed him because he was a soldier. They didn't target any civilian. They specifically chose him.
Is this really an innocent man – someone who has flown thousands of miles to go and fight Muslims? You know, it is as if because he has returned to the U.K. now, and he has taken off his uniform, he is no longer a soldier and no longer accountable for what he did before.
Imagine if Sheik Osama Bin Laden was here today, wearing a suit and tie, would they say: "Oh, he no longer a fighter, so we can't touch him"? Of course they would arrest him. How is it the case that a man takes off his uniform, and now you can just forget about the crimes that he committed? It doesn't make sense.
If you look at the video itself, you see how the civilians around him are talking to him. Even women are going up to him and speaking to him. See how he never attacks any of the civilians? He specifically chose this one person because of the job that he did.
This is very different from the infidels. When they invade our lands, they don't leave sanctity for anyone – man, woman, child, animal, mosque, people's homes, crops. They don't keep sanctity for anything.
As Muslims living in the U.K. – obviously, we want to live in peace. We are here under a covenant. For the sake of our life and our world we will not attack their life and world. In this treaty, we will give them da'wa about Islam, teach them about Islam. Never have we ever encouraged anyone to carry out physical violence in the U.K.
Now they want to use this event to push the idea that it was so-called radical preachers, hate preachers, that radicalized him, and he went on to do that. If you think about it, there are probably about 2 or 3 million Muslims in the U.K. Of that percentage, maybe not even 1% have carried out something like this, but they want to use this, to capitalize on this, to silence the heart, to silence the truth from being spoken by people like Anjem Choudary.
They want to prevent the exposure of their crime, their foreign policy. Even the brother who carried out this attack said that he disagreed with many things that Anjem Choudary had spoken about. The British, the American, and all the allies started these fires in the Muslim world. Now these fires are coming back to engulf them.
