In response to European countries aiding Israel during an April 13 Iranian missile attack:

“All criminals should know that their actions and crimes have been recorded. France, Germany, and England should not think that that night [April 13] they came, brought their planes, and left, the matter was over and done with. Yes, that night ended, but their accountability remains.”“IRGC General Warns UK, France, Germany, and Regional Leaders,” Iran International, May 16, 2024, https://www.iranintl.com/en/202405163718.

In response to European countries aiding Israel during an April 13 Iranian missile attack:

“France, Germany, and Britain, who promised the planes on the night of the True Promise operation, should not think that everything is over and gone. They have to be held to account still.”“IRGC Quds Force commander warns France, Germany, UK,” Mehr News Agency, May 15, 2024, https://en.mehrnews.com/news/215204/IRGC-Quds-Force-commander-warns-France-Germany-UK.

Statement entitled, “And Kill Them Wherever You find Them”:

“Lions of Islam: Chase your preys whether Jewish, Christian or their allies, on the streets and roads of America, Europe, and the world. Break into their homes, kill them and steal their peace of mind by any means you can lay hands on. Understand that you are the arm of the Islamic State hitting in the kuffar’s homelands, and are avenging the Muslims in Palestine, Iraq, Sham, and other Muslim countries… Intentionally seek easy targets before hard ones, civilian targets before military one, religious targets like synagogues and churches before others, for this will satisfy the soul and will demonstrate the characteristics of the battle, as our battle with them is a religious one and we kill them wherever we come upon them in response to Allah Almighty’s command.”Abu Ḥudhayfah, “And Kill Them Wherever You find Them,” Halummu, January 4, 2024.

An editorial endorsing jihad after Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7:

“We give nafeer [a call for universal mobilization] for every individual of the Muslim Ummah, every man and every woman to say Labbaik [yes] to the battle cry of jihad. The war against Israel and America will not be waged just in Israel and America, the entire world is the battlefield. And in this world today, no Israeli, no American, no European and non-European Zionist is safe; there is no protection for the embassies of these warring unbelievers; there is no protection for their civilians; wherever you find them, turn them into the fuel of hell.”“Al-Qaeda In The Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) Publishes Special Issue Of Its Urdu-Language Journal ‘Nawa-i-Ghazwa-e-Hind’ On Hamas’s October 7 Attack, Calls For Universal Mobilization Of Muslims: ‘Those Who Can Get Explosives Or Biological Weapons, Use Them – Those Who Can Use Knife Or Kalashnikov, Attack The Unbelievers’; ‘The Entire World Is The Battlefield...

Statement encouraging attacks on Europe released via AQAP’s magazine Sada al-Malahim

“Sweden, France and other countries that fight God (...) do not simply understand abstract words. They do not understand the language of dialogue and communication (...). They will not understand and will not take into account, until they hear news like the Swedish embassy was razed following a violent explosion or an armed attack against a ministry in Paris.”“Al-Qaïda menace la France d’une nouvelle attaque terroriste,” Le Parisien, September 15, 2023, https://www.leparisien.fr/faits-divers/al-qaida-menace-la-france-dune-nouvelle-attaque-terroriste-15-09-2023-QPZHQSXX6BHTFERXPCZKBJ3AJY.php.

“European government started judging the Muslims about their intentions and their sympathy with the Muslims’ causes. This comes from the crusade’s religious hate that moves the West, and that blew up all the bright slogans that they hold dear, such as freedom, forgiveness, human rights and justice, those slogans that they hurt our hearing with for years.”“An Interview With Abdelmalek Droukdal,” New York Times, July 1, 2008, http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/01/world/africa/01transcript-droukdal.html.

“Today the global security is one and indivisible. So it is upon the American and European nations to choose: either they share security, luxury and good neighborhood with us, or we share war, fear and destruction. ‘Good for good and the first is blessed’ and ‘An eye for an eye and the first is cursed’.”“Words of Wisdom,” Inspire Magazine 11 (2013): 11, https://azelin.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/inspire-magazine-issue-11.pdf.

“We encourage all Muslims, specifically the sons of Tawheed living in Europe, to follow in the footsteps of their brothers… We...thank our brothers, Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, who have been—and continue to be—the pioneers of external operations that target the heart of the Crusader enemies…”Feisal Omar, “Somali Islamist militants praise strikes at 'heart of Crusader',” Reuters, January 21, 2015, http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/01/21/us-somalia-france-attacks-idUSKBN0KU1KC20150121.

“So now when we look at the state of the Americans and Europeans, we see that they are in a state of war with us because of their participation in elections that choose governments that wage war against Muslims. They are in a state of war with us because their governments kill our brothers in Palestine, Afghanistan, and Iraq. These governments fight those who want to establish shari‘ah law. Thus we target them because they are disbelievers and because of their war against us. They are in a state of war with us and they are not in a state of covenant since their governments have not seized their aggression against Muslims. We cannot call them ahl adh-dhimma (people of dhimma) because they do not fulfill the requirements of the dhimma status (rights of residence for non-Muslims under sharia law, when jizya tax is paid). Based on what is mentioned above, it is legitimate to target the people of the West and we have no doubts about its legitimacy.” “Q&A with Shaykh Adil al-Abbab,” Inspire Magazine 4 (2010): 21.

“The West’s cultural invasion is not merely against the Iranian nation and it also includes their own nations (in Europe) as they intend to separate not just our, but also their own nations from ethics and morality because if the European and US nations live an ethics-based life, they won't accept the Zionists’ cruelties so easily.”“Basij Commander: European Race on Brink of Extinction,” Fars News Agency, August 20, 2014, http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.aspx?nn=13930529000571.
