“Therefore, brothers, let each of you remember Judgement Day, on which each of you will be asked about your actions, what you did and whether his brothers were killed before your eyes. What did he do to establish the Caliphate?... Brothers, we have never been so close to our goal of establishing the Caliphate, as we are now.

And if you do not support us in this battle, you will be judged for that on the Day of Judgement!”Joanna Paraszczuk, “Syria: Umar Shishani’s Second-in-Command Slams Saudi Cleric Al-Mohaisany & ‘Peace Initiative,’” EA Worldview, last modified February 9, 2014, http://eaworldview.com/2014/02/syria-umar-shishanis-second-command-slams-saudi-jihadi-preacher-al-mohaisany.
