THE ISLAMIC STATE PART 2 OF 5]
[JUNE 29, 2014][ISIS HEADQUARTERS, RAQQA, SYRIA]
After sweeping into Iraq in June,
and taking control of Mosul and Tikrit, the Islamic State, or IS
seized powerful weapons and military vehicles provided to the Iraqi Army, by the US.
Almost immediately, many of these weapons were transported back to Syria.
For use in the war against President Assad.
But first, they were paraded on the streets of Raqqa, the IS power base.
The battle for hearts and minds is an important one for IS.
And it's a job the Abu Mosa takes very seriously.
[ABU MOSA, ISLAMIC STATE PRESS OFFICER] The war has been going for a while,
don't you have a recreation time that you spend with the family?
To be honest, no.
In my case, no.
In the last few Eid [holiday] celebrations,
I told [my children] that I'll not buy any sweets for Eid.
until the children of Daraa and Homs are able to celebrate too.
I don't return home for pleasure,
I only go when it's important or I'm sick.
I don't,
I don't go at all.
Does that mean you live for war all the time?
Yes.
The family, honestly,
is the least important thing.
There is a higher purpose.
No one would defend Muslims if we all sat at home with the family.
We are the Media Office, we are going to film near the Euphrates river,
Why don't you come with preaching car and meet us there?
Where are you going?
Next to the new bridge on the Euphrates river. We're going to film there.
Wait for me until I coordinate with Sheikh Abu al-Bara'a
We are fighters.
I swear, we hope for hardship.
We don't want a happy life and trips, the opposite, such things take us away from God.
The harder the situation is, the closer we are to God.
[THE EUPHRATES RIVER RAQQA, SYRIA]
The key part of the battle for Iraq in Syria, is the control of the water supply.
In June of this year,
[TURKEY, SYRIA, IRAQ] Turkey closed their dam on the Euphrates,
[ATATURK DAM] significantly reducing the drinking water and hyrdo-electric power.
that both Syria and Iraq badly need.
I pray to God, that the apostate [Turkish] government reconsiders its decisions.
Because if they don't reconsider it now, we'll reconsider it for them by liberating Istanbul.
Is this a threat?
Yes, this is a clear threat.
God willing if they don't open it [the dam] we'll open it from Istanbul.
The man in the preaching van, that the team had requested over the radio
had also arrived.
[ABDULLAH AL-BELGIAN, ISLAMIC STATE MEMBER] Abdullah the Belgian, as he's called,
traveled to the Caliphate from Belgium with his young son.
Are people responding to you?
Yes many, many, many people are responding,
especially the young men.
My name is Abdullah.
Raise your voice.
Abdullah.
Are you from Belgium or the Islamic State?
Talk to him, tell him you're from the Islamic State.
The Islamic State.
Do you want to go back to Belgium? Why?
What is over there [Belgium]?
Infidels.
What do we have here?
The Islamic State.
Do you like the Islamic State.
Are you sure?
Yes.
What do you want to do, be a jihadist or to execute a martyrdom [suicide] operation?
A jihadist.
Why do we kill the infidels?
Stand up.
What have the infidels done?
They kill Muslims.
Because they kill Muslims.
All the infidels?
Like the infidels of Europe?
The infidels of Europe, all the infidels.
God willing the Caliphate has been established,
and we are going to invade you as you invade us.
We will capture your women as you captured our women.
We will orphan your children as you orphaned our children.
Takbir!
God is the greatest
Takbir!
God is the greatest
Takbir!
God is the greatest
I swear to God my brothers,
we are living in joy that I can't describe.
For us, we believe that this generation of children
is the generation of the Caliphate.
God willing, this generation will fight infidels and apostates,
the Americans and their allies, God willing.
The right doctrine has been implanted into these children.
All of them love to fight for the sake of building the Islamic State.
and for the sake of God.
How old are you?
Nine.
Who do you fight with?
The Islamic State.
Where are you going after Ramadan?
To the camp.
Why?
To have training.
Training on what?
The Russian [Kalashnikov rifle].
What are you going to do after?
To fight the Russians... America.
The infidels.
Aren't you quite young? Do you know how to use a gun?
have you shot a gun before?
Yes.
Those under fifteen go to Sharia camp to learn about their creed and religion.
Those over sixteen, they can attend the military camp.
Do they participate in military operations?
Yes, those you are over sixteen
and were previously enrolled in the camps can participate in military operation.
Because Usama Ibn Zaid [adoptive son of Muhammed] led an army when
he was 17 or 18 years old.
He led an army against the Romans.
In the name of God, my name is Daoud and I'm 14 years old.
I'd like to join the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and to kill with them.
Because they fight infidels and apostates.
The Islamic State, they haven't done anything wrong and God willing they will not.
We love the Islamic State.
[CALIPHATE CELEBRATION, RAQQA, SYRIA] The Islamic State was established with the blood of the truthful.
My Ummah, a dawn is looming, so expect the clear victory.
This gathering to celebrate the establishment of the Caliphate
was one of many across the city, organized by the Islamic State.
These events also serve as an important recruitment opportunity.
The ones who haven't broken their fast I can give you some food so you can.
They deserve the best, God willing.
You are welcome to the first festival after the declaration of the Islamic Caliphate.
Takbir!
Allah is the greatest
Say it louder! Takbir!
Allah is the greatest
You're good, may God bless you.
My dear Muslims, this is a great time to be proud of being Muslim.
This is the time when the establishment of the Islamic Caliphate was announced.
Dear Raqqa families,
I call you to support this state.
I send a message to the enemy and the hypocrites [secular Arabs].
This state will stay, against the will of hypocrites.
This state will stay, against your will you secular people.
O Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, you terrify the enemies.
Beautiful virgins are calling, enroll me as a martyr.
I live in Europe for 25 years, but I always wanted to got to Muslim lands.
We left our children and we left the pretty women,
we said goodbye to her,
we came to the land of honor and jihad, this is where I feel at ease, 100 percent.
I noticed that only children say hello to us and they send us kisses from far away,
When old people look at us with a frightened look.
They don't know that we are the best people on the planet.
After the prophets, come the Mujahideen.
Takbir!
God is great.
The event took a lighter turn
as IS displayed it's tallest and shortest fighters.
Who ha a bigger hand?
Answer honestly, who is taller, me or him?
Who is taller, me or him?
As the even drew to a close,
the crowd were asked to join in a pledge of allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
We pledge allegiance to
the Prince of the Faithful.
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
When I shout, "the Caliphate," you say "established."
The Caliphate
Established
Louder. "The Caliphate."
Established.
Louder. "The Caliphate."
Established.
Louder. "The Caliphate."
Established.
My regards to the state and its supporters who protect it
[COMING IN PART 3]
We will be whipped.
We are in a prison of the Islamic State.
Is she your wife?
Yes, God willing.
First of all, tell her to change the fabric of her veil.
So, we advise in a nice way, but those who don't obey will be forced.
