Russian ISIS Fighter Justifies ISIS Massacres: The Messenger of Allah Killed 700 People in a Single Battle

In a video posted on the Internet on November 2, Russian ISIS fighter Abu Muhammad Ar-Rusi called on fellow Muslims to join the Jihad. "You accuse us of the mass killing of Muslims, saying that we are blood-shedding murderers. Didn't the Prophet Muhammad and his companions shed blood?" he said in the Russian-language video, adding that "The Messenger of Allah killed 700 people in a single battle." The English subtitles provided by ISIS read: "Allah's Messenger... killed 700 prisoners after one of the battles."


Following are excerpts:


Abu Muhammad Ar-Rusi: I direct this message to the Muslims who speak Russian.

With regard to the Islamic State, the Caliphate and the numerous accusations we have been accused of by those who sit idly by instead of going on Jihad, or those who do nothing for the religion of Allah, except for praying the five prayers, believing that by doing so, they are helping the religion of Allah… You are not helping yourselves or the religion of Allah. Anyone who sits idly by and does not help the Islamic State today will be held accountable on Judgment Day.

You accuse us of the mass killing of Muslims, saying that we are blood-shedding murderers. Didn't the Prophet Muhammad and his companions shed blood? Haven't you read his biography, written by Ibn Hisham, which says that the Messenger of Allah killed 700 people in a single battle? He slaughtered 700 people – that is our Prophet and our religion.

I say to all our Muslim brothers and sisters: Join the Islamic State. Join your brothers. Do not wait until death comes to you. Do not wait until the path is blocked. As long as you can, perform hijra. The hijra is a duty. If you read any book on Islamic faith, you will see that it is a duty to perform hijra from Dar Al-Kufr to Dar Al-Islam. Do not procrastinate. Do not delude yourselves. Do not say to yourselves that you will perform the hijra tomorrow or the day after.
