Al-Ahd TV, a Shi'ite Iraqi TV channel, aired a short sketch mocking ISIS fighters in Fallujah. The sketch shows the character of ISIS leader Abu Qatadah Al-Batinjani - batinjan is Arabic for "eggplant" - filming an incitement video in Fallujah, before being captured, along with his followers, by the fighters of the Popular Mobilization Units. The captive ISIS members, tethered in the back of a pickup truck, bray like goats. The video aired on June 6.
Following are excerpts
"Abu Qatada Eggplant"
"ISIS Member" 1: This is the Islamic State. Lets do... Whatchamacallit? A selfie. We will show the Rafidites and the Popular Mobilization Units... When I say 'the Islamic State,' you say 'is here to stay.' Got it?
"ISIS Member" 2: Yes, got it.
"ISIS Member" 1: In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate. This is a message from steadfast Fallujah, from the land of mujahideen and the perseverant. We are here, the lions of the Caliphate, and by Allah, we yearn to meet you, oh Rafidites. We yearn to meet you like we yearn... What are we yearning for? Never mind. Allah willing, we will be coming for you, like we came for you before in Baghdad. Confront us, if you are real men. By Allah, we hope that you comfort us.
But you are treacherous by nature. It is in your nature to flee. Wherever we have fought you, you have run away. We are the lions of the Caliphate. By Allah, we love death. We are the lions of the Caliphate. By Allah, we truly love death.
Indeed, this is my message to the Jihad-fighting youth of the Islamic State. I instruct you, brothers, to carry out martyrdom operations. By Allah, martyrdom operations are good for the Islamic nation. They are good for the Islamic nation. They are good for the Islamic nation. By Allah, they are good for the Islamic nation. Martyrdom operations are good for the Islamic nation.
Indeed, how can you put up with our sisters in Palestine being killed by the Jews? How can you put up with this? The gates of Jihad are open. From here, oh Rafidites, from steadfast, perseverant, and pious Fallujah, I and the mujahideen who are here with me, having come from all the Iraqi provinces - from Afghanistan Province, from Saudi Arabia Province, from Kuwait Province, from the beloved Chechnya Province, and from the provinces of China, Japan and Indonesia, and even from the Somalia Province...
We have all gathered in this steadfast city in order to tell the Rafidites that we are here, and that this is the capital of the caliphate. By Allah, this is the capital of the caliphate of the Islamic State. Where would you go? Oh, Lions of the Allah... How I hope that you confront us, oh Rafidites! I will devour you. I'm telling you, we shall rip your livers out. Yes, you are destined to be killed and slaughtered. Allah willing, we shall meet. The Islamic State...
