Yassin Al-'Ajlouni: "I bring glad tidings to the Islamic nation: The days of
the establishment of the Caliphate are near – the Caliphate that will reside
in Jerusalem, and the Caliph who will conquer Palestine. 'So when the second
warning came to pass, we permitted your enemies to disfigure your faces, and
to enter your Temple, as they had entered it before, and to destroy all that
fell into their power.' This is the Caliph to whom allegiance will be
pledged in Palestine, after he conquers the Arab Peninsula and Persia."

Senior Jihadi Cleric Sanctions Bombings in Syria, Calls on Syrians to Take
Up Arms against Regime

The following report is a complimentary offering from MEMRI's Jihad and
Terrorism Threat Monitor (JTTM).

The Salafi-jihadi website Minbar Al-Tawhid Wa-Al-Jihad has posted a fatwa by
a member of its shari'a committee, the prominent sheikh Abu Al-Mundhir
Al-Shinqiti, in which he proclaims it permissible to carry out violent
operations against the Syrian regime, such as blowing up freight trains,
even if this means killing Muslims. He urges the Syrians to stop relying on
peaceful protests alone, and to launch an armed struggle against the regime
in order to topple it.
