"Hello, My name is Igor and I am a Russian by birth. I have read a lot about Islam, I have Arabic and Chechen friends and I read a lot about the Holy Koran and its teaching. I resent the drunkenness and stupidity of the Russian society and especially the gorrilla soldiers that are fighting against the noble Mujahideen in Chechnya. I would like to become a Muslim and in connection with this I would like to ask you to give me some guidance. Where do I go in Moscow for help in becoming a Muslim. Inshallah I can accomplish this with your help." [Igor, Moscow, Russia, 28 Jan 2000]

They will suffer, Inshaalah. Alahu Akbar, Alahu, Akbar, Alahu Akbar." [Brother MS, Oman, 30 Jan 2000]

Don�t let the Russians put you out of your land. Don�t let these monsters destroy your country and people. Fight, and fight with all the courage that you have to take the victory.

INSHALLAH YOU WILL VICTORIOUS!" [Maz, UK, 30 Jan 2000]
"First of all I would like to extend the happiness of all the Muslims in the UK. There is no doubt that one billion Muslims world wide rejoice in every success the Mujahideen make. Secondly, we Muslims are in no way stupid. We are not just fighting the Russians but also their supporters, for it is obvious that other countries in the world that are against Muslims are also funding the Russians, for Russia could never afford this war on its own.
But we don't care one bit. The Mujahideen are proving that the Soldiers of Allah could be on one side and all the enemies on the other. No matter how powerful they might seem, they are nothing but pathetic dirt against the Mujahideen and their Faith in Allah." [Brother AM, UK, 30 Jan 2000]
"All the Mujahideen and all our brothers and sisters that are suffering under this cowardly Russian opression are in our thoughts and duas all the time. We beg Allah (SWT) to forgive our sins and bless you and all the mujahideen in Chechnya, Kashmir, Palestine and everywhere else, with a magnicent victory. The Mujahid is a mercy from Allah (SWT) to the Ummah. May Allah (SWT) send humiliation, destruction, disease and cowardly death upon those Russians that are fighting Islam." [Brother AA, USA, 30 Jan 2000]
"It's with pride and increasing faith in the Almighty that we watch your Jihad against the mafia-led Russian Army. Their weapons are deadly, but you are invincible with the support of Allah SWT, and the supplication of hundred of millions of muslims around the world eager to join you, and to bleed on the land of Chechnya, to defend our brothers and sisters..." [Brother AB, 30 Jan 2000]
"May our duas, collective & individual, be accepted by Allah for you to quickly defeat the enemies of Islam and that you attain Jannat-al-Firdaus, inshaAllah. For the only reason any soul would want to return to this world is to fight and die as a shaheed, for a second, third and fourth time. We cannot imagine your reward." [Sister S, USA, 30 Jan 2000]
"Insha-Allah once again Russia will eat the dust, like it did in Afghanistan. You have re- ignited the fire of Jihad among the muslims all over the world." [Brother FJ, New Delhi, India, 30 Jan 2000]
"Hey guys ! My telephone bill is roaring ! Since this war began , I stand by your web sites almost all day long. WIN THE WAR, and kick bloody Putin -and his acolites- in the ****. Throw them out, and show the Russians that NOBODY can try to genocide a whole country and its people without getting the right medicine : Death , death, and more death. And leave those stupid European politicians in the place they deserve: They are the mockery for the world. Ridiculous fat Nazis, that would play a good role in Stalin's, or Hiltler's club. Those criminals in the European Human Rights Comission ! What do they play about ? Do they think they will escape without punishment ? They mean to wait till April so the Russian guys can 'finish' their job ?" [AFB, 30 Jan 2000]
"May Allah SWT grant us inspiration from the mujahideen, and may he make them an example to all of us who have WAHN (love of this duniya) in our hearts...JazakaAllah khairun to all the Mujahideen for fighting on our behalf, and may Allah SWT shake the earth beneath the Russian disbelievers, and may he cause their hearts and ranks to be disunited." [Sister Aaliya, 30 Jan 2000]
"I CAN'T WAIT TO BECOME A MUJAHID IT'S SOMTHING THAT I ALWAYS WANTED. I HAVE A SON OMAR THAT I ASK ALLAH (SWT) ALSO TO MAKE HIM A MUJAHID.THERE IS NO BETTER WAY TO DIE. THE MUSLIM WORLD NEEDS MORE AND MORE BROTHERS LIKE BR. SHAMIL AND BR KHATTAB, NOT LIKE THESE ARAB LEADERS THAT DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ISLAM. THESE LEADERS FIGHT WITH THE WEST AGAINST ALLAH (SWT). BUT NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO TO KEEP US DOWN INSHA- ALLAH ALLAH (SWT) WILL HELP US TAKE DOWN THESE HELPERS OF THE WEST. I WOULD TO THINK ALL THE STAFF ON THE SITE. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK FAJAZAKUM ALLAH SWT KHAIRAN." [Brother MS, Australia, 30 Jan 2000]
"We are fully behind your heroic battle for freedom from the Russian invaders. You are the leaders of the oppressed Muslims all around the world. May Allah the Almighty give you complete victory. Your sacrifices will not be in vain." [Brother J, 30 Jan 2000]
"Thank you for this great site. I am a Doctor training in the United States...You proved that Muslims in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait did not need the American soldiers to kick Saddam out of Kuwait. We have great fighters that are able to kick Saddam out of Iraq too. We do not need nobody except Allah. This war is proving to Muslims all around the world how powerful they are. If a few thousand fighters are able to destroy Russia, then what can millions more do. A lot of Christians here in America are supporting the Mujahideen. Continue your great work." [Dr MA, USA, 30 Jan 2000]
"Among these all these messages, I couldn't see very many from Turkey. However, I know there are many people in Turkey praying for your victory every moment. So, I am writing on their behalf." [Brother AC, Turkey, 30 Jan 2000]
"To Our Brave and Beautiful Mujahideen, Our prayers are with you dear brothers. The victory will reach you soon and a severe defeat will reach the enemies of Islam. May Allah help us all. Aameen! Remember, our prayers are with you; this is the least we can do." [Abdullah and Sara, Canada, 30 Jan 2000]
"Your sacrifice in your noble struggle for independence against the Russian barbarians is a sacrifice for the freedom of the whole world. While it may seem that you are fighting alone, believe me, the hearts of a great part of humanity are with you, regardless of religion. The struggle for freedom and the kingdom of God on earth is universal. The great Jamaican singer Robert Nesta Marley, in defiance of oppressors everywhere, sang: 'If you are a big tree, we are the sharp axe, waiting to cut you down.' You, the Chechen people, are the sharp axe of liberty. One way or another, you will be victorious in your battle to cut off the head of the ugly beast, and he will fall, crashing to the ground, as he is a nation that has lost its soul." [Erkin Nasar, Virginia, USA, 30 Jan 2000]
"To the Soldiers of Allah. You brothers are amazingly brave, I ask Allah[SWT] to make you even stronger and may you never stumble. You brothers need to know that you are not fighting alone, millions of Muslims are fighting with you by heart and by dua's. I follow your everystep at qoqaz and Mash-allah every news makes us more happy, cuz either we hear how victorious you guys are over the cowards of Russia or we receive the news of the shaheeds who die in the cause of ALLAH [SWT]" [Sister DA, 30 Jan 2000]
"Remember that no matter how many men, bombs, tanks that the Russians can muster in their fight with you, they can never win because you have the support of Allah. If it weren't for Allah's Will, it would never have been possible for a few thousand men with hardly any weapon to withstand an army 30 times more in number and a million times in weapons. So my dear Mujahideens, just march forward and fight, our duas are always with you." [Brother NAK, Saudi Arabia, 30 Jan 2000]
"Dear Gallant brothers First of all I'm saluting you from Australia. Walaahi as one brother said earlier " YOU DON'T ONLY DEFEAT THE STRONGEST ARMY AFTER USA BUT YOU ALSO WAKE MILLIONS OF MUSLIMS UP FROM THEIR DEEP SLEEP. SO, MAKE THE NOISE ECHOING TO ALL OVER THE WORLD TERRORIZING HIS ENEMY. Who knows now USA has to worry a lot for seeing such small numbers of Mujahideen (Soldiers of Allah) defeat and bring Russia to its knees and they are the next, JUST FOOD FOR THOUGHT.. My greetings to Heroes Shamil, Khattab, and all other brothers and operators of this site. When I see Khattab and Shamil I remember the heroes of the Muslims like Khalid, Qaa'qaa, Salahuddeen ayuubi, Hamza, Abu Dujanah and so on." [Brother AU, Australia, 30 Jan 2000]
"I just want to assure you guys that all the Muslims in Pakistan are extremely proud of your everlasting courage and are backing you 24/7 with duas to grant you victory over the evil enemies of Allah." [Farrukh, Karachi, Pakistan, 30 Jan 2000]
"Dear Mujahideen, Tears always come to my eyes when I see you guys fighting in the name of Allah the Most High. It is good to know that there are some people who are firm in their Deen...Remember that the Russians are fighting for Evil and you are fighting for Allah, and if Allah is with you who can defeat you?" [Sister DA, 30 Jan 2000]
"This is a message to tell you that you are not alone I am a brother from Kashmir, and even though the so-called Islamic countries don't give you support, your Muslim family around the world love you and so many would fight given the chance. I was in Russia on the Christian New year and I made dua for you in Red square I was also arrested for being a suspected Chechen and thrown in jail with some Chechen brothers and a Sister I saw how much Russians fear Muslims and also how many ordinary Russians (including Soldiers ) hate what is happening and even support the Chechen Mujahideen. Nobody believes the lies about the bombings, they all know that it was Yeltsin and Putin's plot. They will be finished by March so victory insh' allah is yours." [Brother MK, 30 Jan 2000]
"I am a Muslim from India and working in Dubai, UAE. Although my Government in India supports the ugly Russians, I am with the Chechen people. I admire their courage and the strength that Allah has instilled in them. I hope they will triumph and drive out the infidel Russians who only know to take comfort from alcohol, pornography and prostitution and other business being only to bully around." [Brother KR, UAE, 30 Jan 2000]

"Dear Chechen Rebels and All involved Helping Them: I have been closely following your truggle against Russia since the apartment blasts in Russia last year. I WANT YOU TO WIN YOUR INDEPENDENCE WITH ALL MY HEART! If you wish to be apart from Russia you should be! They seem so greedy to me, the Russians. They still have a vast, vast country and they still want more! After reading of the russian army atrocities against the civilians of your region, the russians lawlessness and violence, I am utterly disgusted by Russia. They are evil, heartless wretches. I want you to know this is one Yank who is behind you all the way. You are all so brave, it is evident to anyone who has followed this conflict. I am amazed at your courage in the face of such a huge army, you guys are incredible. I sure hope you get your independence! May all success be yours, I hope you win! May independence, peace and eventual prosperity be yours." [Yankee Steve, USA, 28 Jan 2000]
"This new 'e-mails of support' section you have added is a great idea. Every time I read it, and the new about the war, it makes me stronger in my Deen (religion) and see how lucky I am to be a Muslim (alhamdullilah). Our dua's are always always always with you, whether in Ramadan, Eid, or Friday prayer. To the MUJAHIDEEN your sacrifices will never be forgotten by the Muslims around the world and most importantly by Allah (SWT)." [Brother SA, Canada, 26 Jan 2000]
"Oh our brothers we love you and we will continue to support you with supplication all the time until Allah by His power annihilate the enemy of Islam completely where ever they are on the earth surface. Russia is fighting you because you are muslims.This means that they are fighting Islam, the religion of Allah and no forces can defeat you Insha'Allah since you are fighting to defend Islam, your faith and your homeland.You have a genuine cause to fight for, so continue to defend it while the enemy have no course to fight for, they will therefore continue to sustain heavy losses both in men and weapons,and their morale will continue to decline. My greetings to commander Shamil and Ibn Khattab and all our brothers Mujahideen in Chechnya and also to qoqaz website operators." [Brother KIN, KADUNA, NIGERIA, 27 Jan 2000"

With Allah's will you shall be victorious, I pray for you every day I hear the news, and every time I hear the defeat of the Russians in the battle front. I cry of happiness. Allah help you all, and every Moslem that fight for the cause of Allah (SWT)." [SAH, Lebanon, 26 Jan 2000]
"Tears flow from my eyes when I see you fighting against the enemies of Allah. In my village, believe me, all the Muslims were praying for your success while tears were in their eyes. I think all the day about you. Victory is yours, it is Allah's Promise, Inshallah." [Brother NA, Islamabad, Pakistan, 27 Jan 2000]
"Please believe me when I say that not all Christians and Americans are supporting your enemy Russia. While not of your faith, what the Russians are doing is wrong and they should be chased from your borders. In the name of my Lord, I pray that you are victorious!" [GCZ, 26 Jan 2000]
"On behalf of all Muslims in Japan, I send you- all our beloved brothers in the sake of Allah- sallam. InshaAllah with His bless and grace Russia will be defeated.

[Brothers in Japan, 26 Jan 2000]
"Dear Mujahideen, It is absolutely amazing, better yet a Miracle that a very small number of people armed with faith are blocking and destroying a great army such as the Russian army who think that with the heavy arms and large numbers they can do whatever they want. Wrong! They forgot that God exists and that he helps who believes in him! Their government gave so many direct and indirect hints that they need to exterminate the muslims whom they labeled as terrorists but they are the terrorists themselves! They have terrorized so many countries in the past that had to fight to gain back for their independence, and now it's your turn brothers and sisters. They're killing no one but civilians and destroying nothing but homes and civilian buildings. This shows how desperate they are and how close our Victory is. The ironic thing is the silence of the US and the other NATO or the self-claimed "peace keeping" countries that pretend to be humanitarian! It is unbelievable how hypocrite these governments can be: if the situation is to their benefit then they find a reason to enter the war (or they even create a war needing their involvement) to "help the supressed"! but it doesn't seem that they have any benefit to enter this war or to put sanctions on Russia so they stay silent. Oh well, God is the Greatest - The truth shall shine very soon and all those hypocrites and human devils are going to face their creator soon, and they're going to be judged just like they judged others." [EY, California, USA, 28 Jan 2000]

Our hearts, our prayers and our thoughts are with you, May Allah move all Muslims all over the world, by your brave example to shake off the yoke of all oppressive governments and abandon communist, capitalist, secularist and socialist ideologies and embrace Islam completely. I proclaim to all Muslims, Wake up brothers and sisters in Islam and if nothing at all at least say a prayer in support of our Chechnyan brothers." [Brother TMG, USA, 27 Jan 2000]

"Hi my name is ****, I am a 16 year old Catholic and am from Louisiana in the United States. I have been following the war in Chechnya and I have decided to write you and tell you how much I admire the Mujahideen's effort to crush the Russian Invasion. Against all odds the Muslim Freedom Fighters are suceeding against the Russian Imperialist through God(Allah). Although I am Catholic and not a Muslim, I must say this, the Mujahideen are extremely inspirational, your people's constant faith in Allah is incredible. Your people will suceed through The Lord(Allah) in this war, it is only a matter of time. I will be honest if I could fight among side the Muslim Mujahideen against the russians I would do so in a second. I would love to take part in this war and fight against the Russian Oppressors and help defend the Muslim people of Chechnya and abroad, but I am only 16, untrained, no military experience, and have no money to travel to Chechnya but I will save my money and send a donation as soon as information how to is posted on your site. I as a Christian will defend the Catholic religion and let you know my people DO NOT STAND BY THE Russian Orthodox Christians that continually persecute your good people. But further more my people condemn the evil actions of the Russian Christians. I promise you not all Christians are like the Russian Imperalist you face. I have the upmost respect for your relgion and people, and honestly I think the Catholic religion would be stronger as a whole if my people could practice more the dedication and faith your people daily practice." [BG, USA, 24 Jan 2000] "Also all the news reports and any person I've talk with or heard say anything about your fight for freedom against Russian has been a 100% on your side not to mention the envy of your fighting sprit. The Chechen rebel fighter will go down in history as one of the toughest fighting men in the world. Good luck in your Fight for freebom and kick a Russian in the ass for me and if I find one over here I will kick him in the ass for you!" [Dennis from Detroit, USA, 12 Jan 2000]
"I want to ask you to never say: 'We will fight to the last man!', but you better say 'We fight to last Russian soldier, with the help of Allah!'. Allah is with you and He never let you down!" [Sister GA, Norway, 24 Jan 2000]
"I will do anything possible to stir the U.S. goverment for the Russians in Chechnya. You are all evil. LONG LIVE ISRAEL. GOD AND I MEAN GOD! BLESS AMERICA. SEE YOU ON THE FINAL BATTLEFIELD YOU SCUM." [Kevin Buchanan, [email protected], USA, 24 Jan 2000]
"It is with great regret that I continue to gather information on the war in Chechnya - "War" is a situation where mainly those to weak to fight suffer the most. However, being a citizen of Poland, a country that for hundreds of years has had to endure (and still endures) the consequences of being a neighbour of Russia, I must inform of my deep felt admiration for and closely felt kinship with the Chechens, who - although small in number - continue to successfully resist the barbaric onslaught of the Russian forces. I pray for their success and the smallest possible loss of life amongst this gallant people." [Mr MZ, Poland, 21 Jan 2000]
"I just want to say that I'm always praying to Allah to help all mujahideens on the whole world. We are proud of you." [Brother IE, Germany, 24 Jan 2000]
"To Islamic terrorists: Do you know how stupid you are?" "Do not complain about living in city without the heat. When you die, you will go directly to Allah (Allah lives underground). There is plenty of heat there. God says in Bible that he will put Allah in the lake of fire." [Wieslaw Kapa, [email protected], Canada, 18 Jan 2000]
"I am Polish and can tell you that Polish press and people strongly support the heroic fight of the Chechens against the Russians. Russia has been occupying Poland for one hundred years so we know what kind of people they are. They want to control everything and everybody. They lie and they are ruthless killers. The Polish Goverment is afraid of Russia and hence does not openly support the Chechens, but it supports you in any unofficial way it can. Poland cannot go to war with Rusia since it is much smaller than Russia. We are not Muslim, but we know the good from bad and we believe that the Muslims in this conflict are in the right and Russians are the invaders trying to steal your country. I have talked to some Americans about Chechnyaa and all of them support Chechen fighters and hope for your victory." [Mr LW, Poland, 11 Jan 2000]
"While I am not a Moslem my thoughts and prayers are with the people of the Chechen Republic as they struggle for freedom." [Mr PA, Long Beach, NY, USA, 15 Jan 2000]
"I am an Australian journalist - R** C*** - and I want to send my support to the brave muhajideen still defending Grozny against the Russians. In Australia the only we news we see on the TV is Russian propaganda. I like visiting your website because it tells me what is REALLY happening in Chechnya and Grozny. Although I am not a Muslim I respect your beliefs and your faith. Many of friends are are Muslim, from Turkish people to my good friend *** who is an Afghan. I try to tell all my friends not to believe the Russian propaganda that we see ... I try to tell them that the Chechen people are brave fighters who only want independence from the Russian imperialists so they can practise Islam without any interference. I would really like (if I had the money!) to come to Chechnya and report on the war from a Chechen angle for the people in Australia. That way they may begin to understand the true horror of what the Russians are doing to your beautiful country and cities. Please e-mail me back to say you got the message - and I hope ... inshi-Allah ... that the Russians do not advance one more metre in your nation! Victory for the Mujahideen!!!!" [Mr RC, Australia, 21 Jan 2000]
"I am the reporter of the JoongAng Daily, one of the Korean leading newspaper. My coverage is foreign affair. I was very impressed by your effort to protect your country and religion. I became to known your situation by internet. I want to interview the Chechnya military leader, Shamil Basayev or Ibn-ul-Khattab by e-mail. Please tell me the way to contact them. If possible, the interview is very impressive and moving to Korean people, who has the experience of fighting to imperialist Japan 50 years ago. Waiting for your reply." [Mr **, Korea, 20 Jan 2000]
"GREETINGS FROM BAHRAIN You are not forgotten. WE LOVE YOU, DEAR BROTHERS. Keep smiling. We remember you always. You are in all our dua's in all the mosques and in our personal dua's. Although our heart breaks to see you in this state, inside we know that, you have a direct path to Jannat-ul-Firdous.(Insha'allah). If I was a man, I would join you and fight in the front row for the sake of Allah (SWT) alone. May Allah (SWT) give us victory, a victory that will terrify the kaafirs. May He turn the weapons of the enemies against themselves. May He fill their hearts with terror and may He blind them so that they see their own people as the opposition. Ameen. Ya Rabb-il Al'almeen.. Dear Brothers, we are with you always." [Sister NM, Bahrain, 04 Jan 2000]

"Let the world know that a country like Chechnya can fight on its own without any help from the 'west.' Inshallah We will win because Allah subhanuwataala is with the Muslims. Allahuakbar. Islam will win no matter whatever the evil designs of Allah's enemy be." [Brother SMK, USA, 24 Jan 2000]
"May the duas of a mother call upon you all the protection and the benevolence of Allah. He sees the fire of justice burning inside the heart of men, He will judge us all Russians included. The powerful of this world invent wars and genocides to deflect public attention from their crimes but not everybody is seduced by their lies nor share their corruption. We are working to make your battle known and understood. We are watching you with distraught love, and tenderness and affection. Please do not feel alone. Allahu Akbar."

"Selam Alejkum from Bosnia (Europe) to brothers in JIHAD country." [Brother B, Bosnia, 05 Jan 2000]
"I am a sister and wish to go to Jihad but the likeliness of this is almost zero. As I am Egyptian and living here, the government censors any information on this subject, leaving its citizens relatively ignorant... Please, I have asked many others about how to help and no one can answer me - it is every Muslim's duty to help fight in the cause of Allah in some way and I do not feel comfortable being warm and content in my home while there are Mujahideen risking their lives all over the world for Allah - I want to help..." [Sister N, Egypt, 05 Jan 2000] "Salam brave soldiers of Allah, May the grace of Allah be with you all the time. Representing a lot of people here, we are 100% behind you and we pray to Allah that He keeps His soldiers safe." [TA, Malaysia, 24 Jan 2000]
"I am not a Muslim, but I am a free man and an admirer of the men and women fighting Russian aggression in Chechnya. As an Estonian I know what this means. This is part of a long story that repeats itself over and over again over the decades and actually over the centuries in Finland and Estonia and Latvia and Lithuania and Budapest and Prague and Kabul. To see what is being done to the Chechens again - it has happened so many times in your history - is deeply deeply tragic. The spirit of your fighters is wonderful. I know they are tired, but I admire your fighters and their supporters enormously. You are not alone in your fight. Try to be good in your effort to communicate what is happening. As time has shown, the publicity side is no less important than the combat. I am deeply saddened, but I also feel enormous admiration." [Mr JE, Estonia, 19 Jan 2000]
"Now I know, now I admit it. Although you all may belong to a religious branch which is capable of doing ANYTHING ( and I mean this ) for Allah's name, you are corageous, more than others you've got guts. Who could have waged this kind of resistance against the Russian army ? It takes sacrifice and more to do so." [Mr MN, Brazil, 23 Jan 2000]
"From Britain we send you the message.Your god is not ours. Yours is a lie and we support Russia. You wanted war "we shall wipe Russia of the face of the earth", and you got war! As I sleep in my safe bed I sleep knowing a Muslim is dying!" [M, UK, 18 Jan 2000]
"Please tell me how I can make a journey from Perth, Australia, to Chechnya, without also being spotted by Russians. At the present moment I have no beard, which is an advantage because it would not make me an obvious Muslim. I am 18 years old. My phone number is **********, with the international code of your own country before it. If you cannot provide me with the info I require, please direct me to somebody who can." [Brother YM, Australia, 22 Jan 2000]
"I live in the United States, and I would like to thank you for your English version website "Jihad in Chechnya." It's nice to see the other side of the story, especially when the sorry Russians lie about their losses. I'm not Muslim but I would like to give all of the brave Chechen Warriors my best wishes and my hopes that fate will smile upon them. I just wanted someone to know that all Americans are not the same and many of us disagree with the games that our leaders play. Slaughter the Russian Invader!!" [J, USA, 19 Jan 2000]
Added 24 Jan 2000:
"I am not a Muslim, nor am do I follow any religion. I am a normal person in England in 'the West' and I and many people speak to condemn this war. We wish you the best and I only ask that you place less enphasis on the Muslim connection because it is not true that non Muslims support the Russian action. Please do what you can for the civilians of every demonination in this conflict because we do watch and care." [Mr TP, UK, 23 Jan 2000]
"I am writing you this letter because I think you should be aware that many Christians in the United States and Canada support the Mujahideen in Chechnya. I for one feel that regardless of Religious beliefs people have a right to self government. I have followed the situation in Chechnya since the 1992 and firmly back Shamil Basayev. I plan to give donations to the cause as soon as I can find a viable method of doing so. For what ever it is worth I pray each night for the solders defending Chechnya. May god go with them." [Mr AB, UK, 22 Jan 2000]
"I want you to know that the Americans do not support Russia in the war against the Chechen people, we here in the West have been fooled by the Russians into believing that the Russian communist system was changing. That is why the funding was sent to Russia initially. The funding that was sent to Russia was to be used for rebuilding their system into a "democratic" system, which they did not do. And (the Russians) have no intention of doing." [Mr TW, UK, 23 Jan 2000]
"This terrible war, the violation of Chechnya's sovereign rights to independence, brought me to Islam. In simple words, the courage of the fighters, the faith of the Muslims who know without any doubt that this is jihad and that victory is truly with Allah, Great and Just ... I put together this page in response to a question from a young Sister ... it is a personal page ... but I thought I would share it with you ... this war that has torn apart the beautiful city of Grozny, destroyed the infrastructure of Chechnya and displaces hundreds of thousands of people and killed countless others, leaving behind children without fathers and mothers, mothers and fathers without children ... wives without husbands and husbands without wives ... brothers without sisters ... is a terrible crime comitted not only by Russia but also all the world powers / communities who have by our silence ... stood by and watched ! And that is how I came to Islam ... from the fires of this terrible war ... thus my page ... http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Aegean/8961/chechenforever.htm As a very new convert, January 17, 2000, my prayers are not eloquent, but I pray for all the fighters and for the nurses and for those who help them win this war, Insha Allah."

WALLAHU SWT A3LAM. I hope that ALLAH SWT accepts us all from the SHUHADAA (martyrs) and that HE SWT ALLOWS US TO TASTE THE SWEETNESS OF THE IMAN AND TAQWA AND GETTING HURT FOR ALLAH'S SWT SAKE.

Please inform the comanders Basayev & Khattab... that their cause have woken many young muslims from their deep sleep, and they have become our idols & heros insteads of the disbelivers such 'Michael Jackson' ,'Madonna' and the misguided pop stars of the Arab world such as 'Omar Diab' and others.....all your frontline battles on videos have reached us...and have been receiving your online news with azzam web constantly and we are gathering a lot of mony, some girls & women have sold their gold for this cause..."

I pray as much as I can and try to keep your thought in my mind all the time during the day. I try to get up for the Tahajjud prayer at night so that I can pray for my best brothers success. You are not alone in this war, I ask you to add my name also in this war. I am from Pakistani origin, and I am ashamed at seeing my country's powerful military just watching and doing nothing. I does not matter though, because if Allah The Almighty King wills, my brothers in Chechnya will send the Russian cowards back where they came from. In-shallah, victory is from Allah. May Allah grant all of you the best of Al-Firdaus." [Brother HWC, UK, 22 Jan 2000]
"With all humility we submit to you, our dearest brothers, and send you the best of Salams and Dua' (if my Dua works any!!). Congratulation to you in the Paradise atmosphere you are living there.. under the shells.. facing the fire .. facing the bullets of the infidels. .. Whether martyred or waiting for it.. May Allah bless you all. We are longing for the day when we join you.. to see that which you see.. smell that which you smell and enhale the air you do.. You will find in me an older man with little to offer in the field.. But much more than what a reluctant like me.. a hesitant like me..would deserve of honor or status is to just clean your shoes.. clean your barthrooms or serve your meals..Or if in the evening I stood up guarding around you and holding firm to the position you put me in until a blessing from the Almighty comes to me in the forehead like the outstanding Shamil Alouri Al Dagestani who went to carry his wounded brother or in the chest into a quick transfer. It is a dream.. who knows when it comes true?. With all humility I send to the brothers in field; Shamil Basayev, Khattab,..and all others..this letter on my behalf and on behalf of each and every Muslim in the world this letter to say that we used to teach our children the stories of Umair Ibnul Himam, Musa'b Ibn Umair, Jafar Ibn Abi Talib.. and AlhamduliLah now we start with their stories again but we sure end the session with your stories.. the stories of Shamil Alouri..

Rest assured that throughout the world every Muslim heart is beating with you." [Brother FJ, USA, 19 Jan 2000]
"I just wanted to congratulate you on a very nice website. it is refreshing to know that in this day and age when the western media cannot be trusted and relied upon to let the truth be known, the muslims have an outlet for dispersing the truth. the daily updated news is a sakinah (peace) for my family and myself who are all making dua for our mujahideen brothers."

"I find your Jihad in Chechnia sight to be very informative. As an American, it is good to have a variety of news sources to get a true picture of the situation. How do you get your information so quickly? Are you in contact with the soldiers? If so How? As a non- muslim, I wanted you to know that a lot of the American people support your cause and think that Russia is in the wrong. Keep this in mind as part of your views of my country. We did help in Afghanastan afterall. Although the US govt does help Russia economically, it is basically a payoff to keep the current less extreme regeme in power. If the comunists or other right wingers take power, it will be much worse for Muslim and Non-Muslim alike. Good luck, and thank you for your informative site... " [Mr JJ, USA, 21 Jan 2000]

"We have heard of stories of a few thousands of muslim army bravely fought and defeated an army of hundred thousands in the Anatolias. The question that had often wheeled in my mind has been the authenticity of this report. But having seen the ability of our chechen brother to withold the onslaught of the kufar russians, Subhanallah you remind me of them. How true it was and it is and it will be. If the help of Allah is with us, nothing is impossible in this world." [Brother AD, Malaysia, 21 Jan 2000]

"God be with you all." [GS, New Zealand, 21 Jan 2000]
"Greetings from Canada!! Everyday we watch your situation in Chechnya in the news. Its inspirational to see how your troops withstand such overwhelming odds.

[Mr CMK, Canada, 20 Jan 2000]
"I would like to congratulate you, the Mujahiddin, on a brave and gallant effort against a numerically superior russian infidel army. I will pray to Allah to make your Great effort easy and defeat to the oppressing russian army. Insha-Allah Here in the west your efforts and successes are downplayed and I was very pleased to come across your site which gives me the news i want to hear. Insha-Allah all true muslims are with you in their feeling of goodwill. Wassalam-u-Allaikum. PS well done on capturing the russian general." [MZ, UK, 21 Jan 2000]
"With regard to item four of Shamil Basayev and Ibn-ul-Khattab's statement on Wednesday 19th January about the western media, I think you will find that the media supports the Mujahideen efforts in Chechnya. It seems to portray the Mujahideen as spirited fighters defending their own territory from an oppressive aggressor. I hope you chaps someday find peace in your country." [Mr AB, New Zealand, 21 Jan 2000]
"You are so so brave. Whilst we prepare to sleep in comfortable beds you are in the midst of a war. There is so much suffering in your land. Please I implore you not to give up.

"I personally support your present stuggle, but wish to make a comment on the interview with Field Commander Ibn-ul-Khattab. I do not agree with his assessment that this conflict is one of Christianity vs Islam. The gangsters in Moscow are as secular as the gangsters in Washington. An evil religion controls them both. There are good Christian people that consider this conflict a terrible genocide. P.S. I forwarded your website address to several journalists here (Canada) so that they may be able to have balanced information. Best regards." [Mr AP, Canada, 20 Jan 2000]

I just want to tell you something that you guys fighting in Kashmir and Chechnya are incredible. I would salute you a thousand times but still it won't be enough.

"I pray for your victory and I have been praying to Allah to give me a chance to be among the Mujahideen since the Afganistan war. Keep fighting my dear brothers until the last evil Russian.

"Please warn the Mujahideen that the Russians are thinking of deploying a fuel air bomb. This explosion from this device is akin to a small nuclear device . It kills by fall out and winds which are strong enough to break ribs. What the Mujahideen can do is keep some ear plugs handy with which to protect their ears. If there are other Muslims, especially from the armed forces, please advise our brothers how they can protect themselves from this weapon. Also, know that Allah is the Greatest and Bigger than any bomb. May Allah protect and bless our Mujahideen and let the Russian bomb destroy the immoral, cheap, lowest of low animals who call themselves Russians. Even a pig has more dignity than a Russian aggressor." [Brother AD, Canada, 28 Feb 2000]

"We all have to die one day and there is no better way of dying than in the battlefield in the cause of Allah (SWT). One message for all Muslims all around the world: 'O Muslim nation when you listen to news about Chechnya, Kashmir, kosovo, Palestine and other Muslim lands where Muslims are being killed and you say this is not happening in my city and my town. Wallahi, Wallahi soon this war will happen in your town and your country if you don't stop the crusaders and infidels in other Muslim lands they will come to your lands and towns and cities where you live. I live in Canada and I feel well secured and protected and so were the people of Sarajevo 20 years ago but the whole world saw what happened to them. If the Pakistanis did not stop the Russians in Afghanistan with the help of afghan brothers, Russians would have next invaded Pakistan. Nations who don't learn from history, those nations become history themselves...O Muslim nation wake up and support the army of Allah fighting in His name in Chechnya. I will pray for you brothers and you pray for me to join you soon in the battlefield in the cause of Allah....Wallahi I have nothing against Russian people, they have an equal right to live on the land of Allah but those who committed atrocities toward innocent Muslims in Chechnya would be punished without mercy exactly as the Quranic teaches. When a cat attacks a pigeon, the pigeon closes its eyes and thinks it is hidden from the cat. Guess what? The pigeon becomes the food of cat and dies...oh Muslim nation don't be a pigeon...help these brothers with dua ..funds ..actions and more... " [Brother S, Toronto, Canada, 27 Feb 2000]
"To the people of Chechnya and the Chechen soldiers: I support your fight for freedom in Chechnya and I am totally against what the Russians are doing. I supported the NATO effort to return the Kosovo Albanians to their land after they were pushed out by Melosovic. Now, it seems the Russian government is doing the same thing that Serbia did with the Kosovo population: Forcing the Chechens to leave their land (or be killed and tortured). It is so obvious to the world and it is unthinkable that such a big country as Russia would support this kind of genocide. Any good feelings that I had about Russia have now gone down the drain. I'm sure many Americans think the same as I do. I wish you well in your fight against the Russians. May God be with you. I am not a politician so I have very little power to help you directly. But I will write to my senator and Presidient Clinton to pressure Russia to leave Chechnya. You will also be in my prayers." [Mr Joseph B, Michigan, USA, 26 Feb 2000]

I'm asking him to believe that only our leaders who are slaves to west. Sorry about Arabs position. I'm thanking our brothers who allow us to show our feelings to our brothers Insha Allah. Brothers, as long as I'm alive I will send supporting prayers and emails till Allah gives me chance to reach the jihad battle field, and Insha Allah you will meet me with Shammel and Khattab."

"I am greatly moved by the courage displayed by the Mujahideen in Chechnya. May Allah (SWT) grant us victory against the non - believers. Our brothers and Sisters in Chechnya, don't be discouraged by the non support of fellow muslim countries. We here, always remember you and make Du'a for you. May Allah accept our Dua's and grant us victory against the non - believers ( Insha Allah). Many Muslims want to help the Mujahideen in anyway they can, i.e. financially, physically, or by making Du'a. I myself am an Aerospace engineer, and offer my help anyway I can. This gesture, by me, should be a slap on the face of all Muslim countries, who are hiding like cowards, at a time when fellow Muslims are in dire need of our help. The Mujahideen of Chechnya, please inform us, on how to get to the front, and assist you in defeating our common enemy, 'the kuffar' (rejectors of Faith)." [Brother SA, USA, 24 Feb 2000]

I have immense respect for the courage and devotion the mujahadeen have for their cause that they would willingly die in a foreign land under miserable conditions against a strong and merciless army. If it is OK for a Christian to help a muslim family financially I would like to do so, to honor the memory of those brave men who died fighting for what they believed in and to help their families."

Now the Moslems come here in order to sell newspapers on the street or clean the toilets of these kuffar. Subhanallah how the times change. What about Al-andalus, Islam came there 1250 years ago to stay, but the Moslems then forgot the real Jihad and were beaten out by the kuffar, only to come back again in this centuy as cheap workers ,How can such a humilaiting thing happen?? Only you my brave brothers and sisters in the Iislamic land of the qoqaz are saying no to the enemies of Allah(swt), but where is Al- Mu'atasim who will hear the cying of the raped widows????

"...And for those who preach about false peace and prosperity and like to think that Jihad brings devastation and suffering and it produces no results (and they like to give false statements about Afghanistan) should worry about their own fate. I ask, how much more evidence these Muslim leaders want before they even pass a single resolution in OIC. For God sake now even CNN is showing footage of Russian aggressions against the Chechens that is beyond any human rights violations. If it was a JEW dragged behind the truck then Yasir Arafat would be the first one giving statements against it. But No! he just arrested several muslims who were protesting in support of Chechnya and has given them to Israelis for alleged terrorist links. SHAME ON HIM. I pray to Allah (SWT) to give victory to Chechen mujahideen (Ameen). Allahoakbar." [Brother K, Ohio, USA, 26 Feb 2000]

I am sad because the only thing I can do is to pray for you.. " [Sister K, Ohio, USA, 26 Feb 2000]
"You are already vitorious and Insha-Allah you wil attain the highest levels of paradise. I have two things to say. 1) Where are the regular soldiers of the Muslim World? So called Muslim nations have so many soldiers under arms why are they not volunteering to fight? The Muslim world is the most highly militarized in the world! Surely there are individual brothers out there who can go to Chechnya immediately without needing training in Afghanistan or elsewhere. 2) A note to all brothers out there! Think! Many years from now when your are dying on your death bed (whether in hospital, at your home or surrounded by family) and you life flashes in front of you and you say what have I lived for? Wouldn't you prefer fighting and dying for Allah's cause so that at least you lived and died for freedom and not lived on your knees for this world!"

Within less than a year Chechan Mujahideen with the help of qoqaz.net or Azzam publication have started pulling the Muslims from all around the world toward Allah and of course toward each other.

"I was given the link to your web page from a friend this morning. Great Job!! I could not stop until I had read nearly every word. I know you consider most Americans to be unsympathetic to your cause, but this is not so. I read the papers every morning, savoring the prospect of new Russian defeats at the hands of the Mujahideen. While I will concede that the American government acts in the interests of the American government only, many American citizens have become quite dissolusioned with them. Americans themselves have a deep distrust of the Russians and have for many years. The Federal government of the USA destroyed a place of worship in Waco, Texas, using tanks and helicopters. This has troubled me deeply. The fact that there has been no outcry, troubles me even more deeply. Perhaps we are not too far away, here in America, from what the Mujahideen are experiencing in Chechnya." [Mr SBC, Data Consultant, USA, 23 Feb 2000]
"I try to cover your website (qoqaz.net) every day, which gives me sorrow and tears to my heart. Before two days, as I tried to enter your website, I was miserable and shocked. Unintentionally inside of mine said �God damn those pigs� (I uttered this to those pigs who were trying to shutdown this site). I even tried qoqaz.de. It also gave misfortune. At that moment my wife was with me, and she too felt sorry. On that night, I want to bed to sleep. But unfortunately that piteous moment was in my brain.When I fell asleep, I saw a dream that I was able to enter the website. After the fajr prayer, again I tried and ALHAMDHU LILLAH I was connected.

[Brother YG, Cairo, Egypt, 24 Feb 2000] "CHECHNYA AND KASHMIR Chechnya and Kashmir, home of the brave, no occupied force will dig your grave, for your sake of Iman makes you greater than all, as Allah as your witness your enemies fall.
Never have I seen such a bravery command, such skills and tactics like the Kashmiri and Chechen hand, with Muslim�s pride the Jihad makers, will capture the Russians and Indians and be their takers.
Together they stand and divided they fall, as the bullets echo the adhan calls, no sleep for the men- soldiers of him, our creator and master who brings light where there�s dim.
To turn the other cheek is not the Muslim way, more an eye for an eye and an enemy to slay, for what fruits fall from the tree of Jihad, as courage rewarded exalts and makes glad.
The death knell sounds and never cheats, as the bodies lie on the corpse strewn streets, let�s hope for the Muslim guerrilla war, as munitions they save for insurgency raw.
Blood is a life face and blood has been shed, many have died and many have bled, like a sea of crimson shed for the cause, in constant battles without a pause.
Where will it end they say it�s just begun, with no place to hide and nowhere to run, but to face raining bullets sounding so fierce, that the strength of Iman nothing will pierce." [Brother MZ, Pakistan, 23 Feb 2000]

I find this site is amazing and it has started a revolution among the muslims and yes even if we can recruit a hundred mujahideen from this site every year it will be fantastic...brothers go for training , the whole of afghanistan is waiting for you. All my friends have done is catch a flight to pakistan and then by road without any visa cross into afghanistan and there on a bus you can go to kabul or kandhar..inshallah training will begin even before you expect it!!!!!"

"In your difficult struggle to fight for Islam and the oppressed ummah in Chechnya do not despair because you have not heard the big names in the Muslim world calling for your help in the United Nations or in the hopeless and useless IOC. Do not despair because the presidents and the prime ministers in the Muslim world have not openly and strongly condemned or even tried to stop another well-planned attempt to liquidate the Muslim people of Chechnya. Forget about Mubarak, forget about Gaddafi, don't even think about Saddam Hussein or the other Muslim leaders - from amongst the so-called 'champions of the Third World Countries' in Southeast Asia. They are too comfortable to be able to understand, let alone emphatize with your fate, hardship and misery. They are too busy perhaps to even pray for your victory in your struggle against the Russian kuffars. Instead, just call for help from the ordinary, but faithful Muslims all over the world; for they are forever watching and following the events in Chechnya. They may not be rich, without power, but they are concerned and faithful to your struggle. They will always remember you in their hearts and most of all in their prayers and give their dua so that the warriors and the people of Chechnya will be forever protected by Allah the Almighty and granted by Allah the ultimate victory on earth and in heaven. As a Muslim I have requested every member of my family, from the eldest to the youngest, to pray for Allah's protection and victory for the warriors and the people of Chechnya. Your jihad is the jihad of all true Muslims all over the world." [Brother AW, Japan, 24 Feb 2000]
"I am not surprised by the support of the media and W. gov't have given to the Russia, because they have always shown their hatred towards muslims by labelling us as terrorist,extremist etc. Also, opposing sanction against Islamic countries with the slightest excuse, and yet supporting the massacre of muslims in Chechnya. The raising of Islam creates fear in the hearts of the kafirs and that is one of the reasons why they are misleading the people. They should have known that they can't fool all the people all the times, by the help of Allah(SWT) and the incredible task of azzam pub. the truth will prevail (insha-Allah). My beloved brothers you have brought all the muslims around the world together, and proved that a small number of Mujahidin can withstand and inflict heavy losses among one ofthe strongest army in the world with the help of the western gov't. This jihad should be a lesson not only for kafirs but also the muslim leaders who fear Russia and the western gov't, insha-Allah the mujahidin will free them from this fear and remind them there's none to be feared but Allah(SWT). I truly admire you for showing a great deal of confidence, patience and with the brightest smile in such a hard time.

Do the Russians, Jews, and Western (and Eastern) ignoramuses think that by killing Commander Basayev or Khattab they will stop the Jihad? That they will put an end to Islam in Chechnya and Caucus? No! As long as there is even one Muslim in Chechnya with a gun in one hand and the Qur'an in the other, the Jihad will never stop, Insha- Allah." [Brother NA, Canada, 23 Feb 2000]

O Chechens, O Mujahideen, our hearts are pulsating, reverberating rigorously with supplications for your worthy victory. Your enemy is an infidel. A born coward. Victory is close.

"May Allah give the brothers/sisters in Chechnya and those working on the Qoqaz website the Highest Place in Paradise. People have been asking on how they can help and support in the effort and Chechnya, and Alhamdulillah this website has brought together many Muslims from all over the World. Unfortunately, the voice of the Chechnyan people is not being heard everywhere and especially in an organized way, except on this website. My proposal is to use and create more of these local websites that organize people in having world wide protests in the same day, passing newsletter in masjids, and getting their specific communities involved. These websites should just have specific action items that people can take in their communities to help the Chechnya effort. For news and general information they can go to Qoqaz.com, but for specific actions in their communities they can go to these specific websites to see what they can do. Plus, Qoqaz can instruct these websites to do any specific actions around the world all at the same time. You can have an area in your website that says, 'What can you do in your community to help the Chechnya effort?' Then that person would click on the page that they are from and see what they can do. If there is no page for their area then, there can be maybe some general instructions on how they can start a homepage in their area. I am willing to start one for San Francisco. I would also ask you guys on some general guidelines what each website can and can not publish." [Brother OK, San Francisco, USA, 24 Feb 2000]
"To be honest, I don't know where to start or what to say. But regardless, I want to be here on e-mail, even though it means staring at the the computer screen and having thoughts and ideas go through my mind. I feel like breaking down into tears every time I read our Brother from Norway write about how the fight is intensifying and how it may end up in all-out offesnive and how they are constantly going through those gruesome attacks from the forces of evil. I feel like smiling everytime I read about the specific accounts of Mujahideen who have been martyred and how they will Insha-allah be in Paradise right now. I feel like packing my bags and coming now to join my brothers in this Jihad. I feel guilty for not being there. The truth is I am feeling so many things right now that I'm confused. I don't know what to say or how to say it although I have so much to say. All I know is that I am going to continue doing dua in my prayers for our brothers out there. For if Allah wishes, our Mujahadeen will crush the Russians in a matter of seconds. "Kun-Faya-Koon" between the letters Kaf (in Arabic) and Noon (in Arabic) Allah's wills will come true. Doesn't need more time then that. Please please, tell me how I can help from Bahrain other than prayers. Are there any other means of help? There are several groups or Islamic charities who have been collecting money for Chechnya here. We have given them alot of money. I don't know for sure though if this reaches you or our brother and sister civilians in Chechniya. The organisations claim they do. Are any of these Funds reaching you? This is a question we all ask out here, everytime we donate. We want to make sure it reaches you. Finally, I would like to just say how proud I am of the brothers and sisters who are helping in maintaining this site. As it lets us live at least a small portion, a minute portion, of your (Mujahideen) experiences with you. Because no matter what we do, it's nothing compared to you fighters out there. You brave fighters. Stick in there my Norweigan brother (who wrote the Diary of Foreign Mujahadeen) for you and our remaining brothers will win this war - Insha-Allah!" [Brother SA, Bahrain, 24 Feb 2000]
"To all the brave heroes in Chechnya. The Victory is for you insha-Allah, because Allah is with you." [Sister AAA, Dubai, UAE, 24 Feb 2000]
"Dear Mujahideen brothers maintaining the web site Qoqaz.net as well as Mujahideen on the battlefield...We believe that a day will come soon Insha Allah when the flag of Islam will be hosted around the World. We pray for you in almost every supplication towards ALLAH (Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala) that He may give you the courage and patience to stand against the cowards and give us the victory. The holy month of Zul Hijjah 'will be starting soon and the millions of animals (Halal) will be slaughter all around the world. May ALLAH (Subhana'Wu Ta'ala) give you courage to slaughter the Russian enemy (worst than animals). We request all the Muslim going for Hajj pilgrimage to supplicate towards ALLAH (Subhana'Wu Ta'ala) in the Holy place of Mecca & Medinah that He may give patience to Muslims of Chechnya against the atrocities of the enemy and May He give victory to Mujahideen all over the world." [Brother MY, UAE, 24 Feb 2000]
"Dear people of Chechnya, I read today the report of the Foreign Mujahideen at your web site. Your bravery and tenacity in the face of this vicious Russian invading Army is amazing , yet you do not give up. Unlike the Russians, Chechnya is your homeland and you see it and fight for it in a way that the Russian invaders never will. Because of that you will eventually overcome them be it this year or later just like before when you forced them out. Good always triumphs over evil-I pray that you will make that so. My thoughts are with the fighters and people of Chechnya every day." [Mr DJP, Imperial College, London, UK, 23 Feb 2000]
"You are, INSHALLAH, victorious whatever the result is.We Muslims in Ethiopia are proud of you. You are the evidence against every sleeping Muslim like me all over the World; we hope Allah will forgive us for doing nothing. Revival of the Muslim's trust in Allah and only on Allah has been started by you which is a victory in itself. Allah's promise is true you will get Paradise and we hope your intercession by our little love for you.We wiil not forget you, at least by our weak dua, ever." [Brother AH, Ethiopia, 24 Feb 2000]
"Hello, First I want to congratulate you with your informative site. I'm Belgian and follow the news every day. My heart is with the Chechen Mujahedeen. I pray that they will prevail in this ordeal. I would like to make a suggestion about your site, if I may: I think you should add a section to your site on human rights abuses by the Russian troops with, for example, links to Human Rights Watch reports. The whole world should know what the Russians are doing in your country: I already know: it's a genocide. Recent wars aren't fought only on the battle field, media organisations (such as you are) are as important as soldiers. Look at the Kosovo war; the only way Nato got away with it was through media manipulation and by using this tool to stress the 'humanitarian' aspect of its mission. In the Kosovo case however allegations of human rights abuses were used to conceal the true mission of the war. Everybody swallowed it.Your war is just and it is only logic that you play the same card. This time the genocide is real but nobody wants to know it. Make sure everybody knows what is going on in your country so there can be no denial afterwards." [Mr PV, Belgium, 23 Feb 2000]
"I wanted to let you know how thankful and grateful we are for having true Muslim leaders leading the Jihad for the sake of Islam and the Muslim world. This website helps prove the truth at another level which most of the World and Muslim communities are in need of. I don't know how much more obvious can it get or needs to get before Muslims around the World realize that there only strength lies in their unity and until that they will be suffering. I pray and hope that the crisis in Chechnya awaken all those who are still blinded by the Truth. And I pray for those brothers and sisters who are suffering to make others realize the truth. MAY ALLAH BE WITH ALL OF YOU! If there is anything I could help with, please do count me in. I have emailed this site to others for awareness. But if there is any additional help needed, please let me know. May Allah be with you!" [Sister S, California, USA, 23 Feb 2000]
"ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ---There is only one truth, my dear brothers and that is the truth that Mohamed (SAWS) tought us, the Truth of Allah. I want to make it clear that there is no hope for Muslim nations if everytime that innocent muslim kids and women are violated and deported from their home, even raped, young Muslims executed in any corner of the World and we turn our naive eyes to the Americans and Europeans to protect us. Allah is the only Protector. Unless that we stand and turn our faith to Allah and decide to change our condition, nothing will change for us, for our children and for the future Muslim generations. It is time that we stand all together and raise from the darkness. To my my brothers and sisters, ask yourself: after Bosnia, Kosova , and now Chechnya. What is next? Indonesia? Nigeria? Don`t you see? Are we going to wait again to see. I believe in Allah The Supreme and I pray that one day will be able to decide for ourselves and protect our children in our lands. I pray for the day that we will build the Great Ummah where we will live by our laws and our values. May Allah protect us from the evil and give us the courage to decide righteously. To my beloved heroes, brothers in Chechnya, you will always be in my heart and my prayers will be always for you, nights and days as I stand in front of Allah. You are our heroes." [Brother A, Djibouti, 24 Feb 2000]
"May Allah rest the souls of those who have been martyred in His cause...many Mujahideen and Chechens have been killed, but what they dedicated their lives to will never die. Ameen." [Sister NYB, Melbourne, Australia, 24 Feb 2000]
"Tears roll down my face as I write this - tears of love, envy and hate. Love for my Mujahideen brothers, envy for the rewards that are due to them from Allah SWT and hate for the 'Muslim' governments that unbelievably are placing a ban on Duas in masajid for the Mujahideen. Your brother here is making duas for help to the Mujahideen from Allah SWT that He blesses them with His mercy as He blesses those most beloved to Him." [Brother AH, USA, 23 Feb 2000]
"May Allah bless all of you for providing us with true source of Jihad news." [Ibn Al-Hassan, 24 Feb 2000]
"Never in a million years I would have thought that so many Muslims from all around the world would be making dua and keeping in touch with our brother Mujahideen in Chachnya. Alhamdullilah, brothers this is slap on the faces of the all the cowered Muslim leaders who not only turn the blind eye on the suffering of Muslims of Chechnya but also stop those who encourage Jihad. Shame on King Fahad and how dare he can stop people making duas in the mosque (through his Royal Decree) and how dare Chief Executive of Pakistan, General Parvez Musharraf ask the former Chechen President to leave Pakistan. These people are more afraid of Israel, Russsia and America than ALLAH(SWT). I hope Allah burns the fat of 'Servant of Jews' King Fahad in Hell fire. Salam to my beloved Mujahideen in Chachnya. We will do any thing to help you." [Brother KA, Ohio, USA, 23 Feb 2000]
"Every day I read your news to note your progress against the Russian invaders. My question is Why is Russia determined to rule a people who are all for their independence from Russia? The fight for independence is a constant struggle. Keep fighting. By the Grace of Allah you will succeed." [Brother SS, USA, 23 Feb 2000]

"The whole Muslim world, in fact the whole world is indebted to you for providing us with this site. Before coming upon this site I was against Jihad in this day and age. I always said this was not the time for it and I now regret ever having said that. Being female I am unable to go to Jihad but am trying to do my bit anyway. It is mentioned in your site that there is only one trusted group that actually sends donations to the Mujahideen. Please send me their account details asap so that I can send because I want to be sure the money gets to the Mujahideen not anyone else. My heart goes out to all those that must fight to enjoy the freedom we take for granted - the freedom to live in peace practising our blessed religion with few major interruptions. After reading the Mujahid's diary and the news and seeing photos and videos, these men deserve the highest position in Paradise. The hadith of the Prophet (SAWS) and the Holy Quran never lie - they do indeed deserve what Allah has set aside for them when they are martyed and the Help of Allah is always with the oppressed person, alive or dead, Allah will forever be pleased with them. May Allah grant us the same favours as he has ensured the Mujahideen." [Sister, Sydney, Australia, 22 Feb 2000]
"Whenever I pray for brothers in Chechnya and for Mujahideen I feel the guilt within me that will Allah forgive me for not being with you. Is it not obligatory for each and every muslim to fight Jihad, light or heavy, by wealth and by lives. Brothers who are experts can let us know as to how we could spoil the plans of those people who would like to take off this web site from the Internet. Let each one of do his best to do something so that a combined effort could keep the site going on. In my every salaah and whenever I pray tahajjud my only dua is for Chechen brothers and brothers of other regions where they are oppressed by Kuffar and mulhideen (atheists)." [Brother SZH, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, 22 Feb 2000] "Insha-Allah victory will be yours. I make dua for Mujahideen all over the world, may Allah grant you all victory. I am disgusted to watch the silence amongst many muslim leaders about this war. It is true that there are still many muslims contributing to Russian oppressors by paying Russian prostitutes around the world, especially here in the UAE." [Sister HS, Abu Dhabi, UAE, 21 Feb 2000]
"I felt relieved when I read Commander Basayev's Q&A, and I'm sure a lot of fellow brothers felt that too. Once again, you prove that the Hand of God (SWT) is with the group, as shown in the pictures of Commander Khattab's operation to meet the Grozny heroes. Alhamdulillah, and may the Almighty grant you victory over the blood thirsty, godless, pathetic, cruel, vodka drinking nation of pigs and monkeys. Insha'Allah, the day will come when the banner of La Ilaha Illa Allah will rise high in Chechnya at first, then all over the world. Finally, I would like to add that it really eased my suffering to read all these emails of support from brothers all over the world from South Africa to Singapore and from the USA to France. Alhamdulillah, regardless of the cost, insha'Allah to Hell the leaders of the Muslim countries, Islam will reign." [Brother AB, Beirut, Lebanon ( the country teaching the Jews how much it costs to mess with Muslims), 21 Feb 2000]
"Assalaamu-alaikum my beloved, brave Mujahideen. I am a brother from the Netherlands and there is nothing more I would like to do then come and fight, bleed and pray beside you, until the time ALLAH(SWT) unites us." My prayers and my thoughts for you my brave brothers and sisters" [Brother Jamal, the Netherlands, 22 Feb 2000]
"Your Jihad is very pure, committed to the Sunna of Prophet Mohamad (SAWS). Your Jihad is one of uprising factors in the Muslim Ummah, which will lead not only to the liberation of Chechnya insha-ALLAH but change the history of the Muslim world. Brother Shamil in his interview was an example of a Muslim leader renewing Salahuddin who liberated Jerusalem from the Crusaders. Your Jihad is the path for the liberation of the whole Muslim World and the heart of it (Jerusalem) insha-Allah." [Abu Muhammad, UAE, 22 Feb 2000]
"My dear brothers, our prayers are always for you.We didn`t forget you. Please, like one brother suggested, if you can give any information about the people who are trying to shut down the site, please make it public. Those cowards who are afraid of the truth, however they are, can`t stop the light you brought in the consciousness of all the Muslims all around the world. May Allah grant you courage and strength." [Brother A, Djibouti, East Africa, 21 Feb 2000]
"Perhaps Muslims worldwide could carry the Jihaad to the Russians worldwide, wherever they might be? Perhaps they might, after completion of a suitable action against a Russian, leave a piece of paper with the letter "C" upon it? Perhaps the way to fight the Russian is not with armies?" [Mr JM, USA, 22 Feb 2000] "I am deeply concerned about the situation in Chechnya. Not so much for the Mujahidin who can protect and care for themselves, inshallah, but for the civilian population that is now undergoing horrible retribution at the hands of the Russians. I am also deeply upset at the support the media and governments of the United States, my country of origin, and other western countries have given to the Russians. I am writing to ask you how I can help, aside from passing your website along to others. Are there any protests or campaigns planned in major U.S. cities? Please let me know what can be done to voice our disaproval with the imperialist Russian army. My thoughts and prayers remain with the people of Chechnya. Thank you for providing honest news during this time." [Sister EK, USA, 22 Feb 2000]
"May ALLAH(SWT) make this Jihad worthwhile the lives of the Martyrs. This war has lit some fire in each Muslim with some fear in his heart from ALLAH(SWT). We do not have to wait for the pseudo-leaders to get the reward of ALLAH(SWT) there is no intermediary between a Muslim and his creator, likewise for the reward it is personal. All the Mujahideen are winners insha'a ALLAH, either they are Shuhadaa, or still winning. Do not feel sorry for those in the front line, we need to feel sorry for ourselves, I remember we use to say Dua'a at every sala'a in our masjid, since the Brothers left Grozny it has stopped. It is very hard for me to keep on going with this discussion, but it is truth that hurts. Yes it does. May ALLAH(SWT) strengthen the Mujahideen with other Mujahideen either from earth or from his angels, and ALLAH(SWT) will if the intentions are for his sake and only for his sake." [Brother A, Columbia, MO, USA, 22 Feb 2000]
I sometimes find it hard to find the words to describe the pride I feel in your exemplary behavior of the ideal Muslim. I believe you represent the best of what the true spirit of Islam has to offer. Your efforts have increased my faith in our deen. The hardships you suffer remind me of those endured by our prophet and his followers during the early days of Islam. And I ardently pray that the final outcome from this struggle will be similar to that granted to our Prophet(by the Grace of Allah). I plan to tell the story of the brave Chechen Muslims' jihad against the russians to my young children. I include you in my Duas every day. I pray that Allah causes the russian to suffer massive loses at the hands of the mujahadeen. Lastly, I also suffer from an extreme sense of guilt. As I sit comfortably in my home enjoying meals with my family, I can barely imagine the enormous suffering of my fellow Muslim brothers and sisters. The little money I give to the charities to help the Chechens hardly addresses the impotence I feel. I feel compelled to do/give more! [Brother GL, Manassas, USA, 22 Feb 2000]
"I feel powerless at this time of Jihad because I live in Canada, I was born and raised in Canada and I do not know what it is to live in a hard environment." [Brother MA, Canada, 22 Feb 2000]
"Your website is the only source that tell the truth about what is happening at the Jihad frontline. The western news reports cannot be believed as they normally potray the Muslims as the aggressors. So please keep the web site open. Our dua is always that Allah will assist those who fight for the Islamic cause. Insha-Allah. Allah Akbar." [Brother A, Kuala Lampur, Malaysia, 22 Feb 2000]
"It has become unbearibly evident that the vast majority of the leaders of Muslim countries do not deserve to hold their positions. Anyone who still believes that these leaders do anything honorable for Islam is disillusioned and Chechnya is the the wake up call. They hold their offices because they tacitly support a Western agenda and are too coward to step out of line. Its a grave silence we see from the leaders of the Ummah and I would not like to be in their shoes when Allah asks them why they cower before the hypocrites, while Muslim people are being exterminated. By Allah, it is a grievous offence the world is doing, turning a blind eye to this barbarism. How can anyone turn a blind eye to these atrocities and claim to be civilised ? Indeed it is a low civilisation and let people now see that the West only hides behind a facade of morality, concealing behind it a beastly nature. My beloved brothers in Chechnya, may Allah hasten your victory, hold you steadfast and alleviate your suffering. I would like to share this Hadith: "A man said: �O Messenger of God, tell me of an act that equals ihad in the way of God.� He answered: �You will not be capable of it.� The man said: �Tell me anyway.� The Messenger of God said: �Can you, when a jihad warrior has gone out on expedition, fast without interruption and spend the night in continuous prayer?� The man said: �No.� Then the Messenger of God said: �This then is what equals jihad.� May the Almighty be with you in every step you take. Assalamu-alaikum." [Brother TA, Canada, 21 Feb 2000]
"Allahu-akbar. Fight the Russian kafirs and their satan brothers. Rally all Muslims to Jihad against the kafirs. The kafirs Russians,US and Jews are all cowards. They have no guts to fight with equal weapons and even ground. They used cowardly tactics, planes, long artillery, rockets, all their strength...but inshaallah Allah will destroy them. Fight them, defend Chechnya. The Mujahideen will win the War and liberate the country from invaders. Keep on fighting Jihad in the Name of Allah and the great Prophet Muuhammad (SAWS)" [Brother AHS, Singapore, 22 Feb 2000]
"I'm from Malaysia. You all are very lucky for you have been chosen to fight in the Path of Allah. So, don't waste this opportunity. Fight until the last drop of your blood. May Allah reserve for the Mujahedeen highest Heaven in Paradise. As for Malaysian Muslims here, even though we are so far away but news about your fight are here in almost every Friday's sermons at some of the mosques and we pray for Allah to give you all His blessing in our dua. May Allah forgive us for not being there with you." [Brother AAA, Pekan, Malaysia, 21 Feb 2000]
"I am an 18-year old Muslim sister in New York City. I dislike all of the disgusting and horrible things I hear and see in the news about Muslims. I read just read the Islamic email " We watched", and I felt like one of them. I hate this and I want to put an end to oppression of woman in "Islamic countries" and stop the hate between Muslim Brothers and Sisters in this world. I don't know too much Islamic knowledge, but I am no dummy when it comes to knowing that there is supposed to be only One Muslim Ummah. I want to stop the lies of Islam and the fighting between Muslims and we should come together and stop quarreling over stupid stuff such as nationality, racism, and other dumb stuff that doesn't matter. I want to desperately want to stop the pollution of lies that Islam harbors itself as of today. I don't where to start but I am going to start going to my MSA(Muslim Student Association), at school and brings this up. It hurts to see my fellow Muslims hurting,and all I could say is "too bad". I know there is more to that and I would like your advice." [Sister H, New York, USA, 20 Feb 2000]
"O Soldiers of Allah! Though I never met most of you but I love all of you for the sake of Allah SWT; for fulfilling the Jihad obligation to defend the Muslims land and the innocent Muslims against the Kuffar. May Allah SWT give me strength to remember you all in my dua through the day. To brothers, Commander Ibn Khattab, his deputies Ya�qub Al Ghamidi, Abu Waleed Al Ghamidi and Abu Ja�far Al Yemeni, may Allah help you all in leading the Mujahideen to defend Islam and Muslims. To friends, Abu ***** and Abu Masood Al-Benini, may Allah SWT accept your good deeds. If Allah SWT wishes, I am sure you will live to testify the supremacy of Islam when the Kuffar are defeated just as when the Kuffar were expelled in 1996. And if not, may Allah SWT accept your syaheed and have your souls in the green birds of Jannah. O Allah! Help Islam and Muslims. O Allah! Help Muslims and Mujahideen in Caucasus. O Allah! Give me means to be in Jihad." [Ibn Adam, South East Asia, 21 Feb 2000]

"Subhanallah I can not understand what's wrong with our leaders, why are they suporting the kuffar? Tell me why????? Where is Qadaffi ?? Where is King Fahd?? Did he not say that he is the King of all the Muslim ummah? Where is Saddam?? He also said that with his army he can help the Muslims all over the world. Where is Mubarak?? Did he not say that he is the leader of all the Arabs and Muslims?? So if all these leaders represent themselves as kings and leaders of the Muslim Ummah, why are they not helping our brothers in Chechnya?? So my dear brothers on the field, you are my best friends. You are the best in this whole world. Today I attacked the Russian Vodka Dogs on the internet, insha-Allah the damage on their websites is big. I will continue to atack them, that's all I can do at this moment. My dear Muslim brothers around the world. I know that there are plenty of Muslim computer specialists around the world. Use your computers to attack the Vodka Dogs, that's the smallest we can do for our brothers and sisters in Chechnya. P.S. Your qoqaz website is the best site on the internet, it's a good job what you are doing my brothers. I thank all the brothers and sisters who are working on this site. May Allah help you all."

"Hi I'd like to support you in your fight with Russians , I know what does it mean - Russian aggression. For centuries my country had problems with Russians. I'm a Catholic but I don't think that is important. I know one thing , this killing in Chechnya must be stopped and EU countries should stop giving money for this cruel thing."

"I am a sixteen year old Muslimah and I would like to sincerely congratulate you on your excellent site and to add my prayers and duas for the Mujahideen in Chechnya. The cause they are fighting for is a truly great one. Their losses are infact their gains and I am so proud and happy for all the shaheed (martyrs) for Allah's cause. I realise that all the wrongs in the world can not be corrected but I do think that that thought should not stop us from doing our best to change what is in our power. And we can never understimate the power of prayer. I would encourage every young and strong muslim man out there to join this (and other) fights for Allah's cause with the aim to attain Allah's Pleasure and Paradise." [Sister SW, USA, 19 Feb 2000]
"As you are no doubt well aware, the filthy Russians are planning to use all sorts of biological weapons, nerve agents and deadly gasses against you in the mountains.They are even planning to contaminate the rivers and streams with disease and even the soil itself.

May this life be a mere memory as you traverse the halls of Paradise." [Brother RM, USA, 21 Feb 2000]
"Assalam-alaikum to all my Muslim Brothers and Sisters. The Azzam website is the only site that tells the truth. That's why those who want to shut it down want to mislead us with their lies and bogus information. Who are these people? We really want to know them so that we can take action. By the Power of The Almighty Allah they will not succeed and the website will remain. I need to know how can I go to Afghanistan so that I can be trained and fight for Jihad. The only person who can tell me how I can reach there and promised me he will tell me, left me and I may not see him again. But I do pray always for him and all the Mujahideen. I still have this feeling that one-day I will be a fighter like my Muslim brothers. I also pray for Chechnya's Mujahideen. I also would like the Mujahideen to know that they have my support and with Allah's mercy they will be victorious. Once again, I do congratulate you for the work you do and may Allah reward you. Ameen, Ameen, Ameen." [Brother D, Maryland, USA, 20 Feb 2000]
"Dear brothers. We want to tell you a lot, but we are bad in English. And we want to say everybody who reads this to pray for you. We would like to be Mujahideen and be with you against Russians in the Battle for Chechnya. We have one suggestion for you. It will be Very good that everybody who worked on these sites stay in contact with all of you. You don't know who is next: Bosnia, Indonesia, Sudan or any other Muslim country.

There are brothers from all parts of the world who are with you spiritually and emotionally, yet YEARN to be with you physically. By Allah's grace and mercy, the spirit of Jihad has been revived in the Muslim Ummah. Insha'Allah we plan to send food and water very shortly, and we pray that Allah (SWT) allows us to arrive not long afterwards. Hold on, Hold on, Hold on! To my Muslim brothers, young and old...

"To the beloved, suffering Chechen people: I offer you my prayers (in whatever religion, but not in the doggish, hypocrite religion of the Western murderers-complices). Stand firm against these sub-human beings that kill, and rape, and torture in such cold blood. WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU. ... WE'LL NEVER FORGIVE THEM !! I swear, NEVER AGAIN to believe any of the aforementioned, when they mutter words like peace, freedom, equality, democracy, or love !!! They are murderers, or murderer-complices, -which is tantamount." [Antoni F, Barcelona, Spain, 20 Feb 2000]
"Dearest Believers, Amongst others, there are three major ways to help the Muslims in the Land of Jihad; 1. By giving them food, clothing and shelter in the refugee camps. 2. By doing Dawah. That is teaching them the principles of Islaam and more. 3. By doing Jihad for the sake of Allah's religion. As for point number one, with the grace of Allah alone, even the Kuffaar and the Munafiqeen are doing this. We thank Allah alone for this and ask Allah to increase the Imaan and comfort of the dissolute refugees. As for point number two and three, the Kuffar and the Munafiqeen would never do it for the Muslims and Islaam. So we have to do it. As for Dawah, thanks to Allah alone, some groups are doing it. May Allah accept it from them and increase their blessings. As for Jihad, very few from the sincere Muslims are engaged in it. They are being attacked by all. By the Kuffar and even by the governments set up in countries where the Muslims are a clear majority, 90% and more. To understand the value of Jihad my dear brothers and sisters, I ask you all to make time and read the ayahs in the Quraan and the Authentic Hadith of our Beloved Prophet, Mohammad, Blessing and peace be upon him. We must support the Mujahideen, then give it priority over the rest. Give more of your support to the Mujahideen and the pious scholars, who are supporting them honestly. Support them with your dua, time and effort. In sha Allah, Allah alone will give us victory soon and make the world realize the truth and the beauty of Islaam. Support them in any which way you can. Allah protects the protectors of religion." [Brother Affan, Madinah, the City of the Beloved Prophet, blessings and peace be upon him, 21 Feb 2000]
"O Mujahideen.You all are an inspiration to us Muslims in other parts of the world. May the Almighty Allah grant you a speedy victory over the munafiq's and grant you all the highest abode in Jannah. Allah forgive me for not being at your side to raise the flag of Islam!!" [Brother HW, Johannesburg, South Africa, 21 Feb 2000]
"This site was shown to me by my cousin who regularly reads up on the latest atrocities that are occuring to you by the kufr. I am deeply surprised after reading your report's that I was so easily fooled by the all the media, as to what was going on. As I read through the text I realised what an easy life I am living compared to you, my brothers and sisters. No more shall I complain about anything in life as today my eyes have been opened with the truth.I am currently a student at a young age of 17.With the Will of Allah I will be successful in my ambition to become a fighter pilot. Even though I will be trained by the kufr, my intentions are clear and that is to fight for islam if ever required.In my heart I know that one day man will be tested by "ALMIGHTY ALLAH" to either fight for kufr or islam, and I know my own answer."

"Be on the look out: there are journalists and news media who are spies (such as CNN, BBC,PBS,CBS,ABC,etc...). Their cameras, recorders, cloths, or other articles carry a homing device (transmitter) linked to satellites. These devices will send signals to satellites to give the Russian enemy your exact position. DO NOT TRUST ANYONE. These people might look innocent and talk kindly to you, but they are also your enemy. Avoid all of them. The homing devices could be concealed in cameras, radios, pens, clothing, even inside their bodies. The Americans are supporting the Russian by giving them advanced armaments. BE ON THE LOOK OUT. TRUST NO ONE. At no time you should allow these journalist to travel with you or show your pictures. Have a trusted brother give your press releases to these infidels. The homing devices or transmitters could be hidden or attached to cameras, videos, radios, pens, cloths, or other articles. May Allah Almighty be with you. And victory is on our side. The Russians will be defeated. It is a matter of time." [Brother SM, USA, 21 Feb 2000]

"The azzam site has grown phenomenally! Congratulations. Who are the cowards that dare to shut down your sites? Name them so that we may hack their sites.

"Assalamo Alalkum to all who have worked so hard to keep this site running in the face of the cowards who are trying to shut this site down, may Allah reward you all. I am a Muslim from a town called Slough in England and along with many other brothers we have been made aware of this site, and we visit it as often as possible. The courage of our victorious Mujahideen has put all the coward so-called Muslim heads of state to shame, all the Muslims I speak to about the Jihad around the world all agree that the flag of Islam should unite all the Muslims around the world. We need to understand that the Anti-Islamic Governments of the West do not want the Mujahideen to be victorious. That is why they plot against us, but they forget that Allah(SWT) is the best of planners which is shown on the battlefields in Chechnya. Insha Allah myself and many other brothers will prepare ourselves with Islam and physically to help in the Jihad Insha-Allah. May Allah give victory to all the brave Mujahideen around the world."

Actually this is my only, the only source that I always depend on which I share with the other Muslims. My hearts are linked to the Mujahideen. And Allah the Most High is the One who taught the Mankind whatever he never learnt before. Brothers, this is the first time I ever benefited like this great opportunities through modern technology. I was so amazed how the small effort you brothers have made with the Help of Allah is so successful so far, and may Allah reward you. May Allah, the most powerful bless the Mujahideen."

"I'm a Muslim brother from North Africa (Morocco) and would like to tell you the following: Why are you asking just for financial help? Why not create a special organization to help Muslim brothers from around the world train and go for Jihad to help muslims there? You stated in your FAQ that you are only an informative site BUT STILL you should be able to connect Muslims with Chechen people in order to reach Chechnya or at least give e-mail address or websites of people that may help in this operation. You noticed that in recent e-mails sent to you, there are many brothers that asked you how they can go for Jihad, so please do something. We cannot send only e- mails of support. It is not enough. We are praying for the Chechens but we need to act and GO FOR JIHAD." [Brother OK, Morocco, 19 Feb 2000]
"You are in our hearts and thought and may Allah give sweet victory against the savages and murderous Russians. May the poor and defenceless be protected from these animals. Their behaviour shows their real colours and centuries old hatred against Muslims and Islam.It is a pity and disgrace that the rest of the Muslim world have not recognised Chechnya and broken off diplomatic ties with the Russain kafirs."

Each morsel of food and each drop of water I swallow I do so with guilt because sitting so far away I do not deserve this comfort. You my brave Brothers do, and inshallah you will get that which is the highest of rewards from Allah and it will be permanent. I may not be able to wring a Russian neck, but I can pray ..and pray I do every single day. Our thoughts, our prayers are with you always, you suffer and we suffer with you, when your hearts are elated with victory, our hearts are joyous too. My brothers either which way, victory is yours...in life you will be a Mujahid, in Shahaadah (Martyrdom) you will live the life that is only reserved for those loved by Allah. May Allah be with you every waking and sleeping moment." [Brother TN, New York, USA, 18 Feb 2000] "No matter how long it takes and how hard it seems to be, the Muslim fighters will erradicate with the help of ALLAH, the organized terrorism of the Russian military. That's ALLAH's promise to the oppressed Muslim in Chechnya. Just remember where is Stalin now? He perished and so will his fellow communist pigs. May ALLAH bless you." [Brother HS, USA, 14 Feb 2000]

May our God with His Mercy and Grace provide a place in the far reaches of Paradise, for those who suffered the misfortune and indignity of death, at the hands of the Russian swine, and his lowly companions." [Brother DH, USA, 18 Feb 2000]
"I have been following the Chechen Jihad very keenly and am greatly pained when I see entire villages being bombed but I fail to understand why the Chechen Mujahids do not conduct operations deep inside the Russian territory so as to take the fight inside Russia and hit the Russians where it hurts. This can be done very easily using martyrdom squads as small as 4-5 Mujahids who can penetrate beyond enemy lines and even places as far as Moscow shouldn't be beyond their reach. Trust me this tactic has been very sucessful here in Kashmir and 2-3 Mujahids have been able to devastate entire Indian army camps. Chechens have some of the best military commanders and I am sure we will have such operations very soon. Let us put a ring around the Russian bear's nose." [Dr.***, Srinagar, Kashmir, 16 Feb 2000]
"My dear brother Mujahideen, you are doing a great work for the Muslim Ummah and also for yourselves. Your place is directly in Paradise. Please do not worry; kill as much as possible the Russian Army; they are cruel dogs that canot stand against Allah's army. From your Jihad many Muslim have learnt a lesson. Insha-Allah if Allah ever gives me a son I will keep him in Afghanistan to make him brave and to fight and die for the Religion or I will keep him in America so he could become good engineer or doctor or a person who have can do somthing for the mankind but not among hypocrite Muslims. All the hypocrite Muslim countries' leaders are silent. They cannot do anything since their father, America, is not in Mujahideen's support. Trust in Allah. One day when America comes to Saudi Arabia, we'll kill them also. I am very happy that many emails are coming from the people who are living in non-muslim countries."

And Inshallah, the Muslims will win this Jihad against the kuffar." [Brother MB, Denmark, 18 Feb 2000] "I feel sad at the conditions and suffering of the Chechens. but on the other hand, I feel more sad about the function of the OIC (Organisation of Islamic Countries). What are they doing? Are they just a name to be proud of ? Why are the so called Muslim countries keeping so openly quiet. Why are there still Muslim countries seeking help from Russia, UN...etc. I pray everyday for the Mujahideen's patience and victory and inshaAllah I will reach the Holy Lands (Mecca & Medina) next month for my Hajj and I shall not stop dua." [Brother HBI, Singapore, 17 Feb 2000]
"I like to tell you that there is not a day passes that I don't think of you. I am worried about you all. I like to know how can I be of any help to you. How can I voice my opinion on this issue?

"May Allah help you in your Jihad which we pothethic muslims can only admire. May Allah made your Jihad a cause to spark the Muslim Ummah into figthing with our own souls and then with every evildoer regardless of them calling themselves kings, rulers or governors. I am not feeling 'very sad' about your situation as I know you will get rewarded unproportionately for every suffering in the Hearafter and your Jihad has already produced an awakening among the Muslim Ummah bi iznillah. May Allah bestow you the best patience. May Allah show us the ways to help you. May Allah make the ground a blazing Hell for the aggressors in Chechnya. May Allah protect you Mujahideen from any evil plot and action against you. I wish I had the level of Iman to disregard everything right now try my best to join you in your Jihad. But I am one of those pothethic Muslims." [Brother AK, PA, USA, 16 Feb 2000]
"Indeed you are truly Mujahideen! You have made a fool of the former Red Army. The conquest of Grozny is just the beginning, and Putin knows it. Truly, he will fail again just like his former boss, Yeltsin the Vodka Monkey. Stay put my brothers. You are winning!! Even the Governments in the Islamic world knows that it a sign from above. This time we must react! For the sake of all Muslims. They betrayed us in Bosnia, this time and in the end of all times they are the kuffar!

Also I was wondering if you could help me find a way to go, or know someone that can, to the Mujahideen and help. I noticed brother TI from Jordan said he was going so if you could help me get in contact with them. So if you could help Muslims like me to find a way it would just be even more miraculous and wonderful to the great Jihad you are doing for us. P.S. I am trained in weapons and in good health."

I live in a cold part of Canada and even though I am not there with my beloved brothers in Chechnya, every morning, as I sweat and tire, I feel that I am feeling a fraction of what they are going through. Insha-Allah I have made a vow that I will continue running every day until either I go to Chechnya or this War is over, even if it takes ten years." [Brother GR, Alberta, Canada, 17 Feb 2000]

"I'm a non-Muslim in Glasgow, Scotland which has a large Muslim community who we respect. I find the bravery of the Mujahideen in Chechnya incredible and inspirational to me. True Scots also yearn for independence but are no longer persecuted for religious/political reasons such as the Chechens but we have faced many similar battles in the (distant) past. Stay Strong."

"I would like to use this opportunity to salute the Chechen people for the courage and self-sacrifice they have shown in defending their homeland. Many Hungarians/Magyars have much respect and admiration for your people. The media tell us that you are Muslim terrorists. However, we fought against the Russians before, too, and know them for the murderous, lying b*** that they are. We don't believe the Russian propaganda. We know you are fighting for freedom. Know that most ordinary Hungarians sympathize with your cause and are on your side even if our government doesn't have the courage to speak up for you. We wish you success defending your country and may God give you strength to keep fighting until your country is free." [Gyorgy, Budapest, Hungary, 17 Feb 2000]

Fight them at night they fear it. Put the prisoners on video and let the World see how they will kill thier own kind to fatten thier pockets with more aid money.

"I am sending this mail from Malaysia. Although our country has not made any official stand on supporting the Mujahideen in Chechnya, but the people especially the Muslims are with the Chenchen brothers in fighting for the Islamic cause. It is good that you have displayed the pictures of field commander Shamil Basayev. We pray to Allah that He bestow good health and speedy recovery to the beloved Field Commander. Insha-Allah, the field commander will be rewarded not only in this world but more importantly in the Hereafter for the contribution in the jihad. It serves as the eye opener to other Muslims all over the world that there is still living some courageous Mujahideen ready to sacrifice their lives in the Way of Allah. These are the people who are not afraid to fight against the largest army in the world. From afar we will continue to ask Allah to grant you victory soon and raise the spirit of the Islamic struggle for the rest of the world to appreciate. Allahu Akbar."

This is an eye-opener for all of us who are capable of doing Jihaad but are lying in our homes enveloped in this dunya. We will all be responsible on Yaum al-Qiyamah for not responding to the call of our beloved Mujahideen. May Allah Azzawajjal give us all the courage to ignore this temporary dunya and bestow upon us the confident to go and fight for the sake of Allah. May Allah Azzawajjal give the parents, children, brothers and sisters tawfeeq to not only allow, but also to encourage one another towards Jihaad. I beg Allah Azzawajjal to bless us with an honorable death of a martyr. Subhan'Allah, what more do we want???

Their recent jesture to re-establish relations with Moscow and to forgive their massive loans are a glaring example of the fact that both NATO and the UN would rather there were no Muslims left.

For centuries true Islam has always been threatened by Munafiqs (hypocrites) and Crusader inspired nations. It is the very example that the brothers in Chechnya are setting that will keep the banner of Islam flying high across the mountains and seas of this world, reaching every corner of the globe to root out corruption, oppression, exploitation and the untold suffering that millions of our fellow human beings are expriencing especially here on the continent of Africa, the dumping ground of western capitalismn and imperialism.

Print some news from www.qoqaz.net and distribute in your down town if possible infront of Russian Embassy. Show the website address on your flyer so other people can go to web site.

"To all Muslims in all the world. In Chechnya your mothers and sisters are raped, your sons and daughters are being slaughtered. To Muslims in the Arabian Peninsula in the Sacred Land- unbelievers in Russia do not respect any morality or religion. It is obligatory to support our brothers, our Mujahideen in the Cause of Allah. The right of Muslims in Chechnya is to receive the moral, financial support from all Muslims throughout the world. No words can convey my sadness; just I remind you all Muslims of the time when we all will stand before Allah on the Day of Judgment? O Muslims do not fear the death. It is coming surely but it is better to die with true Iman than anything else." [Brother M, Arabian Peninsula, 16 Feb 2000] "I so much want to say something to give you comfort, I found this hadith from the Prophet (May the Pease and Blessings of Allah be up him): Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet said, "Nobody who enters Paradise likes to go back to the world even if he got everything on the earth, except a Mujahid who wishes to return to the world so that he may be martyred ten times because of the dignity he receives (from Allah)." Narrated Al-Mughira bin Shu'ba: Our Prophet told us about the message of our Lord that "Whoever amongst us is killed will go to Paradise." Umar asked the Prophet, "Is it not true that our men who are killed will go to Paradise and their's (i.e. those of the Pagan's) will go to the (Hell) fire?" The Prophet said, "Yes."

I think the Russian Government are acting like arrogant bullies who need a army of 100000 to subdue a nation of 1 million. Yet too many Western politicians are being very quiet about what Russia is doing and so are human rights organisations. I enclose a letter (letter not included in this section) I sent to the Daily Telegraph after what a Russian Colonel said about Grozny- his barbaric comment should have been challenged but it wasn't so I wrote in protest about that and the disgraceful western lack of concern of your plight and I am not even a Muslim.

They are doing so with the intent of upholding Islam not just in Chechnya but for every Muslim in the world, so that a thousand years from now, a Muslim in any part of the world will be able to practice his faith Inshallah, and a Kafir will think a hundred times before he raises a hand on you or tries to take your rights away as a Muslim because he will remember what the Muslims are capable of as in the case of the great Chechen Muslims." [Brother TN, New York, USA, 16 Feb 2000]
"Assalamu-ailaikum Dear Muslim brothers, I'm a 18 year old Indian Muslim living in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) and I'm proud to be named Mujahid by my parents.I often visit this web site and always visit the "E-mails of Support" section. I congratulate all the people working for the support of the Mujahideen in Chechnya through this web site.You people at Qoqaz are doing a very great job by informing the Sleeping Muslim Giant on what is happenning in Chechnya and the rest of the world! Keep up the good work!" [Brother Mujahid, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, 16 Feb 2000]
"I have been coming to your brilliant site for many months now and often compare the news from Western sites to your own and realise the lies being spewed by the ignorant on those Western sites. All my duas are with my Chechen brothers and sisters. Every Salah I pray that Allah gives you vistory over these Russian dogs. I feel my hands are tied sometimes but I know that even if one ounce of my prayer is accepted by the Almighty I hope it is the dua for my brothers and sisters. Inshallah the Russians will be defeated and then the Muslims will rejoice like the great Muslims of the past and the many Mujahideen in the present. May Allah bless all of you and your commanders like Shamil and Khattab and inshallah we will all pray for you at the least!!" [Brother MAC, UK, 16 Feb 2000]

"We are experiencing a World revolution in the Muslim Ummah never before experienced last century! I never thought that I would live to see such a day like this, when Muslims from every corner of the Globe are joining their hands to support their Muslim fighters in one unknown part of the World. Let the World witness this great historical event and the awakening of the 'Sleeping Muslim Giant'. This time it is the Muslim's turn to hit back! We're coming home insha- Allah and no-one is going to stop us now!!!" [Brother NP, Washington DC, USA, 15 Feb 2000]

This a voice coming to you through the mountains and over the seas from a Muslim woman yelling (ALLAH AKBAR) and telling you that we heard your call, telling you that my kids and a lot of Muslim kids are wearing white head bands written on it (La illaha illa allah mohammad rasool allah) as a support to all Mujahedeen.We are wearing bracelets with ALLAH's name on it made from beads to keep remembering to do dua for you all the time. I made the bracelets and gave them to Muslims in two mosques and I'm not going to stop until it reach the 1.5 billion Muslims insha-Allah, so hang-on because ALLAH is with you and we are all with you."

"Shame to every Munafiq (Hypocrite) leader of every Muslim country who stood silent and meek in the face of such extraordinary strife of their Chechen brothers. Someday when this is all over Inshallah, what will we the shameless Muslims who prefer to live the lives of sheep, tell our sons ? And upon facing Allah after our deaths, what excuse will we give Allah for having looked the other way while our brothers and sisters in Chechnya were being massacred ? We bend over backwards to please the Western nations who would rather see us enslaved or destroyed, but we do nothing to please Allah who could end our happy days in the blinking of an eye. Like sheepish servants the hypocrite leaders of Muslim countries keep mute while our Chechen mothers and sisters are being raped and children are being slaughtered. For shame on those of us who can not even move our tongues to even utter a word of prayer. Allah be with you my brothers. Allah is on your side, you do not need any of these hypocrites. On the Day of Judgement, when life will be eternal, you will enjoy the bliss that we can not even dream of. My prayers and my thoughts for you always my brothers always." [Brother TN, 15 Feb 2000]
"My brothers have faith.. you will win inshallah and defeat this Zionist inspired plot against us. Do not lose hope as there are all my friends and family members with you. I'm in a medical college right now and all the Muslims here support you to the hilt. Of course the real help that you need is medical help and am ashamed to read the diary of the Norweigen Mujahid complaining of the poor medical facilities available for our wounded comrades. I wish I was in a position to help you. I'm in my final year and as soon as I get some emergency training, I willl be with you inshallah. I will try to persuade as many as my fellow doctors to come with me when I come. I hope Allah gives me and them the courage to do so inshaallah." [Brother S, New Delhi, India, 15 Feb 2000]
"We have not forgotten our brothers and sisters in Chechnya. I make du`a daily for Allah, subhaanahu wa ta`ala, to give us victory over the kuffar. There are a few of us here, and there are more elsewhere, inshaAllah, who want to do more to help, but we don't know where to go to train. We get lectures about how to point our fingers and how to use miswak, but we don't hear anything in our masjids about Chechnya. Why are the Muslims sleeping??? What will it take to awaken us??? Palestine, Kashmir, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Kosovo, Chechnya... we are being killed, and we are still in deep, deep sleep! But some of us are stirring..."

"I am a Muslim, and frankly I don't see the need to go to Makkah while the Russian Army is destroying every single thing on its path, humans, animals and vegetation. We are committing a serious sin just by turning a blind eye about the incredible suffering of the Chechen people. I am disgusted by all those Arab/Muslim leaders who roll the red carpet for the Russian foreign minister whether in Cairo or Tehran. Those whom we call infidels are the ones that are making more noise than we are. It is obvious that tents, band-aids and medicine is needed for the refugees and freedom fighters as well, but unfortunately they don't stop bullets at all! When you see how Lebanon has been spanked by the Israeli Air Force, you wonder how those "Brotherly Arab states" are going to do anything to help the Chechen freedom fighters. If the Chechen fighters were Jews instead of Muslims, Israel would have done every single thing she could to give Russia something to remember and pressure every American or European country to force Russia to put an end! That is something that we don't have, we are are own enemy. Allah bless you Chechen people and freedom fighters, He is the only one who can help because you are on your own. Don't expect anything from those rotten North African and Middle Eastern states." [Brother MH, Japan, 15 Feb 2000]
"O Allah, O Powerful, O Destroyer of our enemies, O Avenger, I make sincere dua to you to help my Mujahideen brothers in Chechnya. O Allah, grant them victory soon and give them strength to uphold the banner of La ilaha illallah. O Allah, Your Help in the most useful and weapon to the Mujahideen and faith in You in the most powerful force in Jihad. O Allah, O Lord of the Mujahideen, give them strength to fight the oppressors, torturers, rapists and the dogs of Hell! O Allah, cause the mountains in Chechnya to fall on top of them and crush them and reduce them to nothing-indeed they are nothing!

"O Lions of Allah, it is true that SOME PEOPLE MAKE THE HISTORY and the rest just read it. You have indeed made it alive. You have proved it undoubtedly in the 21st Century that the spirit of Islam will never be extinguished. Islam that made those special heroes of the early generations is and will be capable of reproducing many of them with same calibre until Allah Almighty inherits this land and whoever is on it. I read those 'golden words' of the brave man Shamil Basayev -may Allah protect him- when he said on the day of the withdrawal from Grozny 'Women usually tell us you left our sons to get killed and you are alive. Well, let us do it first (i.e. marching over the mine fields and making a save path for the rest of the Mujahideen to pass through.' This action can not come from an ordinary leader but rather from a person that Allah has chosen for a special task. May Allah protect you all and bestow his mercy on those who have left us and met their Lord." [Brother AA, Ohio, USA, 11 Feb 2000]
"I have read Islamic history, since your Jihad began. I now realise you are the same type of Muslims who spread right across half the world in less than a decade - brave in fighting but kind and loving, honest and sincere. You can't control a big empire by force, so the early Muslims must have been very loving to the people they conquered. Allah will indeed give you victory over these Russian dogs. Just kill the dogs now, love them later." [Brother Z, Sydney, Australia, 12 Feb 2000]

You have shown to the world that this unjust and uneven war will not make you submit to the evil empire of Russia and their blind hypocrites around the world. Dear beloved brothers Allah is with you and no one on the face of the earth will have the ability to overcome you. The whole righteous Muslim World is behind you and prays for you day and night. You have shown the Russians your heroism during 1994-96 war. But these stupid and ruthless people do not learn. YOUR ARE THE SOLDIERS OF ALLAH AND HE WILL LEAD YOU TO VICTORY, INSHA ALLAH."

We believe staying connected with you and making du'a for you is part of our worship. When we don't hear from you for more than a day, we are all at loss, and it is as if the world has become blackened. Oh, how we wish for you to be back in your homes with your families and enjoy life like we are. But, instead, you have chosen the hardest life possible only to please THE LORD OF THE WORLDS, by liberating your country from the stinking, animalistic, Godless, barbaric kuffar. There is no doubt that the victory is yours. All Muslims around the world know that and pray for your quick success. But, sometimes it is with patience that success follows.

"I am a journalist for a small TV station at the very bottom of New Zealand. I must say how helpful your web site is in keeping us informed of events so far away. This form of communication breaks through our reliance on CNN, Time and BBC which can not be relied on to deliver details that are so important in a conflict such as this. I'm not Muslim nor Christian but I have studied the conduct of Russia both presently and in the past and I stand behind your decision to oppose Russian occupation. My sympathies also lie with the young Russian conscripts drafted into a war they have no interest in. I hope, for the sake of everyone on both sides who has suffered because of the Russian Governments actions, that it will be over soon. Has there not been enough suffering in that part of the world in the last few centuries? So I bid you fear well from Invercargill, New Zealand and may your conflict end to your satisfaction in the shortest possible time with the minimum loss of life on both sides."

"On every TV channel, in every newspaper, always the same things. LIES about the Jihad in Chechnya. I'm sure that most of Muslims all round the world are convinced that the Mujahideen are not terrorists, and that the only terrorist in this affair is Russia. I'm sure that most of Muslims all around the world are disappointed by the inaction of their governments, and that if they had the possibility, they would have done anything to help their brothers in Chechnya. I'm sure that most of Muslims all around the world pray for their brothers so as to have enough strength to get rid of enemies of Islam. A great tribute to all the Mujahideen who have chosen to sacrifice their lives in the path of Allah. A great tribute to all the ones who have been martyred . A great tribute to all the ones who are still fighting against Putin and his coalition. A great tribute to all the ones who are giving aid to the Mujahideen. A great tribute to all the ones who have strong faith in Allah, and who are able to do anything to preserve their dignity and their beliefs.

Alhamdulillah for your help in reviving the spirit of Jihad in Muslims all over the world..Allahu Akbar! The Prophet (Peace be upon Him) was reported to have said :"Jihad will continue until the Day of Judgement." Allah is truly Merciful, because Jihad brings with it so much blessing to the Muslim Ummah. I remind myself and all the Muslims in the world to get ready to make Jihad. Do not sit and watch. Do something now, be prepared to perform Jihad." [Brother MB, California, USA, 11 Feb 2000]
"Subhanullah! (Glorified be Allah) The Jihad in which you are fighting seems to have hit an unusual chord within the Muslim Ummah. Perhaps it is because of the deep sincerity of cause, your uncompromising approach to the Batil (falsehood) which we don't see elsewhere. The Jihad in Chechnya has a goal which has, at least this past century, not been truly felt. That goal being the physical implementation of a true Islamic State. May Allah, through the Jihad in the Caucasus, continue to awaken the 'sleeping giant' and also shed light on every single 'leader' of every single Muslim land in existence today which shares its sick love between Russia and America, and which also causes pain without exception to its own sincere Muslim inhabitants. Allah promises victory. May you be the vehicle through which the resumption of Islam, the only acceptable system of living for Muslim and Non-muslims, manifests itself in its totality. All of the sincere scholars should be prepared to run to Chechnya to aid in the great task of implementing the Islamic Constitution and setting up house for the rest of us. WE WANT TO COME HOME!!!

Eight centuries of Islamic presence were erased, the Muslims were killed and sold as slaves. Another time again we history repeating itself. When you bury the Mujahideen, you are not burying corpses, but you are sowing seeds of a new era for the Muslim Ummah. Kill the enemy of Allah!, Kill the enemy of the human being!

For what? If I could leave and live across the world I would! Allah knows my family has tried to leave the U.S. for many years now. Anyway, I thought that I'd let you know that I have children too, so those pictures of the five Muslim children dead really hit me hard! But I know my feelings were not as hurt as the women and men who do lose their children, or the children who have to listen to all of the frightening bombs and guns going off! Where are the MUSLIMS?????????? Where are all the "MUSLIM KINGS" and their armies? Asleep? Praying? Would Allah (SWT) accept a prayer of the so called "Leaders" who turn their backs and rest comfortably in their palaces in between their soft comforters?!!!!! SHAME ON THEM!!!!!!!!!!

"What else can we ask for but Allah's help? What else is greater but His Help? If we rely on Allah (SWT) we need nothing else to rely on, not even the most advance of machine guns and bombs.

I want to get my hands on those blood thirsty, women raping, human torturing, pig faced whimps! I want to wring their necks!- My hands are ready! O Allah, take me there-Ameen. I pray that my brother Shamil is in good condition- I heard the news about his foot. May Allah (SWT) heal it. Even if Allah does heal it, we should still continue to feel pain. Only when all our Muslim lands are liberated and when WE, the best of creation stand above every kafir, and when our sisters stop getting raped and our brothers stop getting tortured and our children stop being mutilated, then we will Insha'Allah be healed FOREVER!

"I e-mail from the United States. I am a Christian and wish there was something I could do to help all of you. I only look at what is wrong and what is right. Religion to me is not an issue. You are being pushed from your land, for what reason? Oil, greed, religion, profit. Don't think that all of us Christians are against you, this is surely not the case. The majority of people in our country are so busy with themselves they choose to ignore what is happening in the real world. As your rights are taken away, it is another step towards goverments taking away all of the free people's rights, no matter who are what they are. The press in the US does not lean in favour of the Russians or the Chechens openly. But, by their inaction to support your side, and show what is really happening over there, they are in essence supporting the Russians. Without your website, I would have no access to information in your region. Don't give up, there are those of us out there who have no attachment to you who support you. The longer you hold out, the more pressure you put on PUTIN. The more Russian soldiers that are sent home dead, the more public sentiment will go against him." [Mr BM, USA, 12 Feb 2000]

Why turn you from Ar-Rahman? Why yearn for a listening friend? Ya nafsy, do you not remember, On ALLAH, you must depend? Read you not those stories, Of the trials in days gone by, Of the Sahabah beloved byAllah, Who for Allah's cause did strive?
Why loosen your hold upon Him? Why fling away, His outstretched Hand? Ya nafsy, do you not remember, Bilal's sabr on the blazing sand? "Ahad! Ahad!" He cried, While his flesh did drip and burn. "Ahad! Ahad!" He cried, To Allah alone he turned.
Forget you the firmness of Hamza, As the gleaming swords did fall? With Sabr he turned to Allah, As the Quraysh did slice and maul.
Why drown in salty teardrops? How can you dare compare your pain? To that of Yasir and Summayah, As the lay tortured on the scorching plain?
Forget you the charring of Khabbab, As on burning coals he lay? Ya nafsy how meager your suffering, Wherefore do you lose your way?
Why befriend you not Al-Wali? Why not in Salat to Him complain? Like Job who only to Allah, Turned in all his grief and pain?
Forget you those trials in this life, Cleanse your heart and make it clean? Ya nafsy, why all this sadness? Do you not wish your heart to gleam?
Be patient in all your hardships, Allah hears your cries of woe. So trust Him and His hikma (Wisdom), For He knows best and you don't know.
So tighten your hold upon him, Lest He withdraw His outstretched Hand! And remember the example of Bilal, As he lay anchored on the blazing sand.

"Last week, while I was busy with my household chores, my daughter Zahra (5 yrs) started pulling my dress and said "Mom, come, let's read the Quran". I didn't want to miss the opportunity, because, now-a-days she enjoys playing outside with her friends and by the time she comes inside she is dead tired. We both took a Quran each, I started reading and she was repeating with me, in fact we were reading in chorus. She doesn't know how to read yet, but loves to hear my recitation and knows which line is coming next. After a while, when we finished one 'juz' she told me "Mom, please stop now, I am sleepy." I stopped, it was night time and getting really late. Then she said "I will pray to Allah now and ask Him to give the reward for this Quran recitation to the Chechen people" and that's what she did. From that day on we are praying this way for you guys every day." [Sister IM, Al Khor, Qatar, 07 Feb 2000]

However there has been a systematic blackout and distortion of news from the area by Pro-Russian-Western Media coupled with spread of lies like "invasion of Dagestan ", "kidnappings" etc. By Allah, we never believed it, these fools should know that a Muslim would never believe that a Mujahid would do such a thing. It is apparent now that such a blackout was done to prevent Muslim brothers from other places to join your struggle in defeating taghoot. Now your website has given us true information. 'They intend to put out the Light of Allah (i.e. the religion of Isl�m, this Qur'�n, and Prophet Muhammad SAW) with their mouths. But Allah will complete His Light even though the disbelievers hate (it).' [Quran 61:8 ]. A Muslim is not supposed to envy another Muslim but it is allowed to envy those who strive in the Cause of Allah. Therefore I envy you my brothers because you are the chosen people for such a Cause. Allah knows best, but I think you would be the envy of even those who may live for hundreds or thousands of years doing worship but deprived of Jihad. Success in the Hereafter is only through Allah's Mercy and Forgiveness. And Allah, All Praise be to Him has given you that gurantee. SubhanAllah! You are the wisest people alive along with other Mujahideen all over the world who have chosen to strive in the Cause of Allah, and your intention being clean, Allah has rewarded you with the best trade that any Muslim can ask for. I pray to Allah for myself and for every other Muslim to give us the knowledge, courage and to open ways for us to be able to join the ranks of helpers in the Cause of Allah." [Brother ZR, USA, 05 Feb 2000]
"Jordanian people are not but a part of this Islamic nation spreading worldwide, because of which they feel the burden lying on their shoulders to support their Mujahideen brothers. I personally check your site every day to feel the remaining pride in myself. I have emailed your site address to many friends and groups to let them see and hear the voice of truth rather than being attracted to western or Russian Media that either lies or suppprt the Russian enemy. I love you as my Muslim brothers, and as persons so loyal to their faith that they refused to live as the remaining cattle, but rather preferred the life of honour. I ask ALLAH Most High to bless your fight, and reward you better than you've given. I ask ALLAH Most High to help us break all barriers that prevent us from being faithful to our religion, and make us good examples to others as our Mujahideen brothers are. Finally, I say that your morals, truth of speech, human respect, strong faith, futuristic view, and practical thinking are gathering people around your issue from all over the world. May ALLAH Most High bless your work." [Brother Ibrahim, Amman, Jordan, 10 Feb 2000]

"As I am an American, and proud to be, I cannot stomach the lack of any support for you from my government and country. The American Government has no problem getting involved when our oil supply is in jeopardy, or when an economic or political situation is threatened. The American Government has no problem bombing empty buildings for months or attacking countries we know cannot fight back with any authority to flex our military muscle. The American Government says it stands for world peace and to be the advocates of the world fight against evil. Then why, I ask my government, would we not put an end to what the evil Russia is attempting to do to you. The American Government has the power and military capability to end this in one day. Yet they stand idle by and watch as several thousand of you fight hundreds of thousands. I have never been more saddened and angered at my own country and government. I try to live my life the best I can and try to be the best person I can be with out claiming any religion and believe that God, Allah, Buddha or what ever anyone chooses to call the higher power, will appreciate that and accept me for that. But I feel as though it is time to make a stand and say this is wrong. I truly wish I could fight with you and have faith that you will prevail. I think of you all as I would my own family and friends. Don't quit, fight hard and I truly believe you will win." [Mr PV, Cleveland, Ohio, USA, 09 Feb 2000]
"I thank our brothers at Azzam Publications by giving us such a remarkable opportunity and we ask Allah to give you a reward. There are many people who don`t know your web- site and they listen lies from kufaar media ,but insha allah we will spread this information as much as we can see. Let the Muslims around the world know the truth about thier brothers and sisters who are killed in the Name of Allah, and remember, no matter how hard kufaar try to shut down this site, they can`t turn off the Light of Allah. May Allah protect all Muslims around the world especially the noble Mujahidin around the world. A LITTLE ADVICE TO OUR SISTERS AROUND THE WORLD : If you can`t go to Jihad in Chechnya then start fundraising to help our brothers and in the mean time try to study medicine or nursing so we can treat our wounded brothers. Do everything in your power to help our brothers and sisters in need , and don`t just sit with your family and say what can I do. You can do a lot of things by starting with encouraging your husband to get trained and go to the Jihad. Also I want to advise all Muslims to go training and learn karate, because we have to protect our lives. There aren`t any excuses for this noble Jihad. We are all responsible infront of Allah. Even the old ones and children have to throw the stones to the kufaar if they cannot do anything else." [Sister ZAW, Norway, 09 Feb 2000]

Many people in Ukraine are supporting You, because we know what Russia is. My people and brave people of Chechnya have the same history - 300 years of fighting for independence from Russian evil (even devils) Empire. We remember the methods of Russian agressors - to dress KGB agents like Mujahedeens (or other warriors - differs from country to country Russia occupied), to kill civilian people and to say that it was done by Mujahedeens. Russians did this in Ukraine in 1940- 1950th and then do this in Chechnya nowadays - KGB agents kidnepped people and says that Chechen soldiers do this. Stupid governments of Europe and America believes Russians and don't want to stop this brutal war with children and women of Chechnya.

"I am a Christian and I believe that what the Russians are doing to you is terrible. Especially if they are claiming that they are using their attacks as a defence against Islamic extremism. There are many similarities between Islam and Christianity, most of all the spiritual one which believes in a monotheistic God, who is a God of love. I just wanted to let you know that Jesus would never want your people killed just because they believe differently in the same God. I come from a peaceful country (Australia).

I and all the Muslims here are with you. We are constantly following your news.We will not forget you in our dua. This is the least we could do for ourselves and for you. Secondly, I would like to thank the brothers who are covering the media aspect of the conflict. May you know that what your doing is nothing less than Jihad. You are no different from the Mujahid in the trench. You are the eyes and ears of the Mujahideen. You are the Hassan bin Thabit of this war. May Allah bless you all."

"Dear Brave Chechen Fighters! Although I am not Chechen nor Russian I think that what Russia is doing in Chechnya is nothing but pure FACISM. I hope you have enough force and faith to defeat these moronic Russians and liberate your motherland from the Russian occupation. What is going on in Russia now is very clear: KGB seized power, then it blasted several buildings in it's own country to make people FEAR (a usual KGB policy) and now Putin and his KGB colligues want to revive former Russia, a KGB-governed superpower. I will not happen -- times have changed. And I hope that you, Chechens will show Putin that Russia is not a superpower but an alcoholic and stinking beggar. Remember, millions of people around the world are watching your fight and greatly wish you success in beating Russians." [Mr BH, Dallas, USA, 04 Feb 2000]

I am a citizen of the Nation of Islam, the same Nation that the Chechens belong to. The Nation of Islam is one big Nation, no borders. We belong to the universal brotherhood of Muslims."

" Assalmo alaykom brothers and sisters all over Allah's earth and especially in the blessed land of JIHAD, Chechnya!!! The great Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) says: "If you see in a dream something you like, then share it with those you love..." or as he says. Indeed, I did see a beautiful dream just before the FAJR of 2/2/2000 and Allah is my witness! I saw the Chechen Mujahidin hugging and congratulaing one another with tears of joy in everyone's eyes (including mine), after they reopened Grozny and liberated Chechnya from the enemy of Allah!!! Subhana-Allah, the picture was so clear. I even saw the face of brother Shamil with a smile on it!!! I cannot tell how sad I was when I read the Mujahidin's report of withdraw from Grozny, as I cannot tell you how happy I've become after seeing this dream!!! I just hope that the Mujahidin brothers get the chance to read this good news. Yes, it is a great news what I saw, because the prophet (pbuh) says that good dreams are from Allah!!! My brothers in Chechnya, "ABSHIROO, ABSHIROO, ABSHIROO" (Rejoice). " [Brother AK, Washington DC, USA, 03 Feb 2000]

The whole western media is against us, but we dont need them or a western army ALLAH IS ENOUGH and i wanted too say also one thing too our ARABIAN and [ISLAMIC] leaders. SHAME ON YOU!

It is sad that our brothers and sisters have forgotten the true meaning of Islam and it's true teachings and it is also sad to see all these oppressing regimes in power holding back the most beloved creations of Allah SWT to Worship Him in every aspect of their lives. Because of the man-made divisions in our homelands (ie The Islamic World), people are dying everyday by our enemies along with what is going on in OUR land of Chechnya.

You are there in the battlefield facing the enemy of Allah everyday. You are the ones surrounded by constant danger. You are the ones who have taken up arms to defend your muslim brother and sister. You are not worried about what happens to you, but what happens to a single muslim. You are going down the road taken by the successful. I ask Allah to give me courage to overcome my own weakness, to help remove the obstacles in my path and to join my dear brothers and fight by their sides in the battlefield. I pray to Allah SWT, to give me sincerety that I go for the sake of Allah alone. I pray to Allah, that when I die on the battlefield, I die for the sake of Allah alone.

" I want to say first that I am a Christian and that I deplore what the Godless Communists are doing to the people of Chechnya. Do not be fooled by those who claim to be Christians, most of those in the United States who make this claim are liars and are deceived. The United States Government is the enemy of true Christians as it is of Islam and of the truth, it lies when it claims to be "Christian". It is corrupt and of the devil as is the government of Russia. I am also a former soldier, a paratrooper who once commanded brave men, and as such I must commend the muhajadeen for their courage, their tenacity, their bravery and for their skill. I am completely amazed that an outnumbered and outgunned force of men, without aircraft, armor or heavy artillery have ground one of the most powerful military forces in the world to dust. I know what it takes to stop a tank or an APC with only a shoulder fired weapon and the number of tanks I have seen knocked out by your heroic fighters is a tribute to their valor. When I look at the sad pictures of the dead women and children, I cannot help but think that the Russian soldiers are worse than dogs. What kind of man makes war on women and children? Anyone who supports this brutal and inhuman war against the people of Chechnya and Grozny and claims to be a Christian is a liar and the truth is not in him. Most sincerely, a true Christian. " [Mr AL, USA, 04 Feb 2000] " A note to the editor: I have seen many in the world believe that the press of our nation somehow represent the remainder of us. The fact is that the majority of them are wicked and evil liars. The majority of them are homosexual or support this wickedness, they support killing the unborn children, the women dress like whores, the men are fornicators and drunkards. Somehow though, they are considered representative of a "Christian" nation. I have also seen many in the world believe that our government, because it was elected by a "majority" of the people. The actual number of people who vote in an election is less than 20% on average because the remainder believe the system is corrupt and crooked. We are never given good or godly men to choose from, we must always choose from the lesser of two evils. That is why our government is the great Satan (yes, I agree and I am a Christian), but our country is not. There are many good people in this country who are doing all they can to fight against it's evil, but we have seen at Waco and at Oklahoma City how the government lies and distorts and blames it's enemies (Christians and Muslims) for the evil which it performs.

I WILL USE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO URGE BROTHERS AND SISTERS- MUSLIMS TO ACT, NOT ONLY TO SPEAK, BUT TO ACT IN ORDER TO WAKE UP THEMSELVES, THEIR FAMILIES, FRIENDS, COUNTRIES FROM A DEEP SLEEP. WHEN WE STOP TAKE CARE WHAT THE NON-BELIEVERS AND HYPOCRITES SAY ABOUT US, WHEN WE START LIVE ISLAM THAN WE CAN EXPECT THE PROMISED HELP BY ALLAH.

You have proven beyond any doubt that the true spirit of Jihad is alive and well and soaring high.

" Dear Defenders of Chechnya, You are Heroes and brave people the Europe did not know since the time of Thirteen Spartans. Despite all the blaming and pro-Russian propaganda you are fighting for, your freedom and for your religious and human values. May the Most High help you in your struggle. I have been following your fight since 1995 and I was very much disappointed by the way the Western mainstream media has been presenting you. I know Russia and I know Russians. For me there are no doubts the Truth is on your side. Beat Russian military and the Moscow-Kremlin stealing & killing authorities everywhere you can and many will praise you. May the All Mighty you believe be on your side. No words can describe my sympathy to you and my bitterness when I hear about your losses. Keep high spirits, brave defenders of Chechnya, despite your pain and suffering, despite Russian cruelty and the injustice of Western politicians. All honest people are on your side. I will be trying to help you, and I believe others will also try to find their ways to help you. You are not alone. I hope and pray that your losses after withdrawing from Grozny are not too high, although the news I read make my soul crying to the Heavens asking to punish and destroy the Evil Empire: the country of KGB, lies, state tyranny, vodka, and spiritual and moral degeneracy. I dream about seeing your country free and prosperous. Win your country for you and many will come to help you to rebuilt it. God bless Chechens and those helping them. " [Mr KI, Poland, 03 Feb 2000]

" We the Muslims from a small Jamaat in the countryside of Trinidad (a small Caribbean Island) have been following the activities of the Mujahideen for almost two years on the internet since they had established Shariah (Islamic Law) in the two villages in Dagestan to the Present time. We love you all for the sake of Allah. We love your fighting spirit and resolve. We admire your determination, courage and steadfastness. We have been praying for victory and martyrdom for the Mujahideen constantly! We make dua for you all constantly in our five time daily prayer in Jamaat! You all are a Source of motivation for our Youth. Your women are a source of motivation for our sisters. Allah has raised the Mujahideen to raise his Word high(Quran). Your Jihad is our jihad. We wish we could be with you on the battlefield! We are people of Salah and Bayah (oath of allegiance). How can jihad be fought without the two? There must be a people to fight jihad even before the coming of the Mahdi. He- the Mahdi, will be with the people who fight jihad. May the Mujahideen be in the army of the Mahdi who will march with the Black Flag from the corner of Khorosan to Palestine (Ameen). May Allah give you all the courage and Strength to Establish the Khilafa State along with our brothers in Afghanistan and all the Mujahideen wherever they may be in the world.(Ameen) " [Brothers in Trinidad, 03 Feb 2000]

" It is so sad how the world has not reacted more strongly against the Russian massacre. It is a shame that world leaders can not be more supportive to the cause and suffering of the people of Chechnya. I expected at least economic sanctions. It seems that they prefer the masacre to continue instead of defend what is right: the muslims right to live in their homes, no matter if that is against Russia's interest. It seems that the main "sin" of Chechens is to live in a place full of oil, and withing the range of Russia's interest. I was not aware of what happened under Stalin's regime until I started to read about it. It is a tragedy that cruelty against Chechens has not fade since those days. Nevertheless, it is proven that those who fail to remember, will suffer again from their forgotten mistakes in the past, hopefully as in the previous 1994-1996 war. The mujahideen have proven many times how wonderful knights they are against a numerically superior and far better equiped army. In the long-term, reason should prevail, and might stop the killings. I'm telling anyone that I know of that tragedy that is happening in your country, giving your links (I noticed that you also have a Spanish link). I just wanted to let you know that many people are supportive of your cause, and that stupidity and cruelty can not last forever. " [Mr FSS, Mexico City, Mexico, 03 Feb 2000]
" I am thrilled to learn that your murderous crimimal terrorist bandits are being mauled by Russian forces at this very moment. That you are the most savage terrorists in the world today , is underscored by the fear your own people have of you. As an American, I fully sympathize and support the Russian efforts to eliminate the scourge of terrorism and criminal activity carried out in the name of Islam. Your murderous criminal activities have certainly given Islam a very bad name and brought untold misery and suffering to thousands of your people in the interests of a few dedicated criminal bandits. Hopefully, Chechnya will soon be cleansed of this poison so that peaceful normal life can resume. " [Mr/Ms [email protected], USA, 03 Feb 2000]

She converted a few years ago, and last week she gave all the jewellery she had even from her grand mother to raise funds for our brothers. She wishes that all the Russians, who blindly reject Islam and Muslims, open their hearts and eyes and see that there is no God but Allah, and Mohammad is His prophet. The victory belongs to Islam, and The Muslims around the world are waking up to support one another. No man made force will stop us.

" This is a great gift from Allah for brothers and sisters who are fighting kofar in way of Allah for religion, freedom, and to bring peace. I remember when the kafer soviet army invaded my country Afghanistan, they were trying to change way of our life "Islam", and to replace it with their own way of life "Marxism", and to make us their slaves. Brothers and sisters from different countries helped us physically and financially and we got our freedom. Now these kafer Russians are trying to invade our lands, if we don't stop them today in Chechnya, tomorrow they'll be where that we never think the Russians be there. Allah is with us, we should never give up hopes. This is the time for all of us to wake up and do best we can to help our selves physically, financially, if we are not able to do so at least we can pray for blessings, and victory of Allah be upon Muslimeen, for all brothers and sisters around the world especially in Chechnya. Chechnya is Muslim's land, and it should be ruled by Muslims. Congratulations to the brothers and sisters in Chechnya who received the gift of Shohada in the way of Allah. To Allah we belong and to him we return. Insha Allah victory is with us. " [Brother WR, California, USA, 03 Feb 2000]

Let us speak up for the unjust of this inhumane action of Russian gov't and let us start from unfortunate governments of the Muslim World or otherwise. Condemn all the companies, that support Russia, doing business in the Muslim world, be it American company or not. Indeed supplication or Duu'a is needed and the Mujahdeen will be victorious Insha Allah.

If we have to eat only dates or even fast let us do so. 1 billion Muslims should start taking action against any action that benefits Russia. Make an impact to let the kuffars know that without moving or even opening our mouths we can make this world shake, but if we start moving there is no way to stop us.

I feel like a coward doing nothing here and just reading the news. I am ashamed of my poor behavior in comparison to your honorable example. You are in our prayers that we say at the silent of the night with tears in our eyes. May Allah (SWT) lead you to victory and give your courage to rest of the Ummah. Please also make dua for the rest of Muslims so that Allah(SWT) gives us more kamilat (completion) in our iman. I think we need your dua a lot more than you need ours, as you are the ones that Allah(SWT) blessed with the strongest of Imans (faith) and also you are setting the example of a true Mujaheed.

Now I know the UN or the USA are doing next to nothing to help you but I know a lot of people support you and it is just a matter of time tell they help you.

You are the elite of the Muslim Ummah in this World and the Hereafter because of your sacrifices. This religion was built on sacrifices and without them it dies. That is why Allah has made for you a special Paradise that even Jibrael (AS) couldn't enter and Allah said I have made it for them myself and it is only for their eyes - or words to that effect. May Allah give you the patience, strength and nusrah (divine help) as he gave the sahaba in Badr when they were also fighting the kuffar. You are never far from our thoughts and always in our dua.

"It is unfortunate and tragic what is happening to Grozny and Chechnya. After Afghanistan the Russians should have known better. I am a Major in the US Marine Corps and have followed events in your country with great interest. Russian Generals said they would take Grozny in 10 days and the country in a couple of months; now they say a year. It is terrible what suffering has been inflicted on both the innocent Chechens, the Chechen fighers and the young Russian conscripts who for misguided political reasons are put in a fight they are unprepared for and have no hope of final victory, similar to the US in Vietnam. For the sake of all my hope is that the Russians realize that unless they kill every Chechen and every Mujahadeen from around the world they will only lose more men and more resources they cannot afford and stop this insane war."

He has chosen you from among the peoples of the earth as an example of Iman and Sabr and Shukr and courage. He has raised through you the dignity and pride of this defeated Ummah. He has made you examples of dignity for all of us. Your last report on the reasons for your withdrawal from Grozny made me cry - your concern for human life over your own goals and pride is an amazing testimony to your understanding of Islam and your strong faith.

You promised to seize Grozny by New Year and it never happened either, then you begged for 2 more weeks... Now you say another fortnight.. Putin !!! When will you learn to keep your promise? Putin !!! Learn how to keep promises from Khattab and Basayev... They promised to defend Grozny and Chechnya and they are true to their word (by Allah's Will)..." [Brother NK, India, 31 Jan 2000]
"THAT IS CALLED FAITH
When the wealth and lusts of this world are no allurement From the renouncement of it all for God's pleasure and contentment
When the comfort of soft beds and cosy homes is no deterrent From striving in the chilly snow and terror of bombings imminent
When the opinion of world leaders just does not matter at all And the satisfaction of the Lord of the Universe is the only goal
When they are determined to sacrifice everything for the Lord of Truth, Because they know that His kingdom is infinitely vast, eternal and plain truth
O Russian soldiers, to save your world and lives you fight, or just try How can you defeat the soldiers of God, who came here to die?
For the Fragrance of Paradise on the battlefield they can smell And therein they feel close to God and His justice, far from Hell
Indeed, THIS IS CALLED FAITH, which explains of ours this state And what about finding other definitions for the false faiths that others revindicate? Those faiths that can niche indifference and lethargy; Those faiths that have place for exploitation, injustice, lies, and hypocrisy;
Distinguish between race, colour and status those faiths still can; Those faiths that produce cowards rather than brave men.....
Dedicated to the heroes who defend Chechnya," [Brother Nadeem, USA, 31 Jan 2000]
"It is not possible to pass a day without thinking about the situation in Chechnya, making supplication to ALLAH to give the Mujahideen victory over the enemy of all Muslims. It is very discouraging to see the Arab media so low. May ALLAH demolish all of the rulers in the Arab world and unite our word. I am not able to access the website that is in Arabic. The word is spreading like wildfire about your site in this community and In Shaa ALLAH all over the world. The Mujahideen will be victorious In Shaa ALLAH!!!!" [Brother MS, USA, 31 Jan 2000]
"I'm not a Muslim; but I'm sure that the imperialist Russia, now fully controlled by his Mafia, will be broken by the courageous chechen figthers. The Russians have bombs, planes and bullets, while the Mujahideens have their God beside them, thence, they are already victorious." [Mr VC, Canada, 31 Jan 2000]
"There are no word to describe our feelings and admiration to you the Mujahedeen. The only thing I could say is that we are grateful to Allah and to you for bringing honor and dignity to us Muslims. May Allah bring you the final Victory. [Brother SM, California, USA, 31 Jan 2000]
"Although I am not a Muslim (nor am I a Christian, I do not have any religious affiliation), I fully support Chechen independence. After reading your website, I still support your cause, but I believe that you would be able to gain wider support by not emphasizing so much the Muslim vs. Christian aspect. I am from the United States, and there are plenty of people here who are not Muslims who believe that what Russia is doing is wrong. However, by making the issue into Muslims vs. Christians (or Jews, etc.), and demeaning all non-Muslim religions, I believe you may offend some of those who would otherwise support you. That being said, I can also understand your position, seeing the way many Christians behave toward Muslims. Although I have no religious affiliation and nor do I have strong religious beliefs, I admire the Muslim way of life and would like to see more Americans behave in the Muslim way of no alcohol, drugs, etc. This would probably make the U.S. a much better! place to live. Without considering the religious issue, it seems to me that anyone would be able to see that Russia is wrong. Their soldiers loot, kill civilians, and rape women. This should not be allowed to go on, and I sincerely hope that the U.S. government will take more decisive action to stop the atrocities being committed by Russia in Chechnya, and that Chechnya gains true independence." [Michael Boston, Massachusettes, USA, 31 Jan 2000]
"My name is *******, I'm an Indonesian Muslim. Every day, the first news I read when I get my newspaper is the news about my brothers Mujahideen in Chechnya and Molucca(Ambon), a part of my country where muslims are also being driven out and massacred by many Christian extremists. I envy you, all Mujahideen, for Allah has granted you the shortest way to paradise (syahadah). May Allah help & strengthen all the mujahideen in Chechnya, Ambon, Mindanao, Pattani, Xinjiang and all over the world." [Brother DF, Indonesia, 31 Jan 2000]

"Although I am not a Muslim I respect your faith and wish you all success in your Jihad against the evil Russians. Last night I had a dream in which a hand reached through the clouds and tore the black, shrivelled heart out of the soil of "Mother Russia". I take this as a sign that you will be victorious in your struggle against the godless invader. I greatly wish to come to Chechnya to learn more about Islam and to fight Jihad against the Russians." [Mary C, USA, 31 Jan 2000]
"Peace be upon you bravest worriers of Allah SWT. We all have no doubt that Allah SWT will punish the Russians by the hands of Mujahideen even after a while.

"Allah has said it in the Quran and it is proven each day again. Kuffar is one unity! Unfortunately, Muslims seem not to be in unity. If there would be unity, Chechnya would not suffer such a big tragedy, the Chechen refugees would have been welcomed by "Islamic" countries, the (incredible) Mujahideen would have received more help, eventually even military help! But instead of these, Interpol is seeking Shamil Basayev and others, and now Khattab! And for what? For defending a innocent country against the evil, against the aggressor, against the imperialistic Russia. For defending his religion, for helping his brothers and sisters! Therefore he is blamed of terrorism! But like the USSR disappeared after fighting against the Mujahideen in Afghanistan, Russia will not be the same after fighting against the Mujahideen in Chechnya. Where is the USSR now? The Mujahideen are still there! In a few years we will ask: where is Russia? The Mujahideen are still there! The Kuffar shall be in unity against the Mujahideen, but they will achieve nothing Insha Allah. With the help and grace of Allah, Islam will wipe out all of them. And I want to say, that each man who has a little bit of honour and conscience in himself must admire and appreciate the efforts of the Mujahideen, each man must envy them for their courage, their efforts, their victories, their achievements, for all they have done till now! And I know, deep inside, everyone (Muslim or Non-Muslim) does! I also want to express my admiration to the demonstrators in Moscow, for their demonstration, for their banners and their statements. It took belief and courage to do this in Moscow!" [Brother MAY, Germany, 29 March 2000]
"I am not a Muslim but I can tell you you're right. The Russians should get out of Chechnya. One day Chechnya will be free!" [Mr PN, Arnhem, The Netherlands, 30 March 2000]
"He has commanded the believers to fight His enemies and exalt, elevate and establish His Word to restore peace and order on the Earth. Whenever the Muslims set out for Jihad with firmness of faith, singleness of purpose and righteousness of action, they were, with the Help of Allah, able to overwhelm and dominate the disbelievers. And whenever the Muslims abandoned the way of Jihad, they met with disgrace and were enslaved by the disbelievers. How ironical is the fact that the Muslims, to a great extent were forgetful of this lesson of history but the disbelievers capitalized on it. They hatched many conspiracies against the Muslims. A very significant one among them was that they tried to create doubts and misgivings in the hearts of the Muslims about Jihad. So powerful was their propaganda against Jihad that even today.. we cannot but feel its impact on the Muslim Ummah. Even more regrettable is the fact that even many Muslim scholars and intellectuals who should have put their energies in motivating and stimulating the Muslims to Jihad and who should have been instrumental in restoring the past glory of the Ummah, are, consciously or unconsciously, involved in weaving doubts around this very important duty of Islam i.e. Jihad." [Brother ASI, Malaysia, 29 March 2000] "I want to say that if there ever was a need for Jihad this would be the time. I support my brothers and sisters who have been suffering and fighting in the way of Allah. Win or lose this is an important fight for our Ummah. My prayers are many for the Mujahideen. I pray that Allah will bring you victory and will admit the martyrs into Paradise. I pray for support from the rest of the Ummah, especially those Muslim nations who are close to the conflict. May Allah grant you victory and plant fear and uncertainty into the hearts of the Russians." [Brother I, Vancouver Island, Canada, 29 March 2000]
"It seems to me that declaring Khattab an international terrorist was almost inevitable. The Russians have found that they are unable to do their own dirty work effectively because of a combination of incompetence, mistreatment of their own troops, and the bravery and ingenuity of the Chechen resistance. Since they can't get it done themselves, then maybe the international community whom they deceive on a daily basis will get it done for them. I'm sure this trend will continue as long as Chechnya continues to resist, because the Russians are becoming more and more desperate- even from the United States it's obvious. However, the constant lies are somewhat understandable, because if they honestly reported the military situation, there would be no support from ordinary Russians, who have been deceived the most of anyone. It is interesting to read some of the news reports from state-controlled Russian media- by their account, this war has been just a mopping- up action against a ragged band of international terrorists. What they can't explain is, if the military has all of the constant successes with few if any defeats, why haven't they won yet? One positive trend is that the Western media seems to be aligned more and more against the Russians, with a few notable exceptions such as CNN, which regularly posts stories from ITAR-TASS or other state-controlled media. I hope the resistance is able to continue as long as it takes." [Mr M, Boston, Massachusetts, USA, 29 March 2000]
"Unfortunately we are not doing anything to help your Jihad, only we can pray for your success. I have to say sorry for the behavior and words of our government. As you very well know The public of Turkey does not share the opinions of government." [Brother EMO, Turkey, 29 March 2000]
"Brothers I would like to tell a story that happened during the last Jihad in Chechnya. My best friends brother, who is now a Shaheed, was a commander of Mujahideen of the presidential guard. They were defending Grozny, and in one of the rich Chechen houses, they came upon a large amount of jewelry (t was common to keep wealth in gold and diamonds). The Mujahideen told their commander that they should take this jewelry, because the city was to fall soon and Russians would get it for sure. Moreover, all weapons that Mujahideen fight with are bought with their own money, so it would be needed in the future. The commander said that if anyone wants to take this jewelry, they should first leave his unit. So the jewelry was left and probably got into Russian hands. My best friends brother fought the Russians for another year, and then became a Shaheed Insha Allah, but I think people should know what kind of people their Ummah has. I hope that his deed will not only be beneficial for him in front of Allah, but also will be an example to Muslims, because such people are leaving this Earth and Ummah needs someone to take their place." [Brother AO, USA, 29 March 2000]
"On behalf of the brothers and sisters in my locality I would like to say how pleased we are with the successes that Allah has bestowed upon the Mujahideen in Chechnya. The Jihad in Chechnya has served to unify the hearts of Muslims in my country through the mercy of Allah. We are very proud of the efforts of our brothers, and we thank you for maintaining the true spirit of Islam that the contemporary Ummah has long forgotten." [Brother ND, East Coast, USA, 29 March 2000]
"O Mujahideen, you are teaching the whole world lessons in endless sacrificing, legendary bravery, strong determination and firm faith, while the Russian aggressors are showing the whole world how a human being could descend to animalism.
O Mujahideen, you are extraordinary, fearless fighters, while the aggressors are extraordinary cowards and bloody criminals.
O Mujahideen, you love and aim for martyrdom while the aggressors aim the cheap living.
O Mujahideen, your martyrs are in the paradise, while the aggressors� are in the hell.
O Mujahideen, you are fighting for the sake of ALLAH (SWT) and defending the Religion, the land and the honor, while the aggressors are fighting for the sake of the devil.
O Mujahideen, you want to fight to the end (Victory or martyrdom), while the aggressors are cowards and want to go home now.
O Mujahideen, you have brave leaders like the Islamic Lion (Shamil Basayev), the Arabian knight (Khattab) and ....., while the aggressors have a sadist butcher (Putin)." [Brother AET, Saudi Arabia, 28 March 2000]
"I really wish you all the best in doing this fantastic site, please keep it up, we need such information and gathering to grow. I wish to deliver a message to all Mujahideen in Chechnya: 'we are so proud of you and we pray to Allah to support you in your war against Islam enemies, I and so many like me from Egypt wish to join you & we are desperately dreaming for a chance." [Brother OG, Egypt, 29 March 2000]
"The time has come for anyone, any self respecting person, Muslim or Christian, who cherishes freedom and detests oppression and who had any doubts or diffidence about the threat which the Russians and their cronies in the West pose, to set them aside and look at the facts which are as stark and as brilliantly clear as the sun. Russia, NATO and the UN will do anything and every thing to ensure that Chechnya remains subjugated to Russian control. They will use the weapons of war and mass destruction, they will use the economic weapon in the form of sanctions, when faced with massacre, torture and wanton destruction of human life by their geopolitical friends they will look the other way if it suits them. And when the horrible results of their devious ways becomes painfully apparent and impossible to ignore, as in the case of the massacres in Bosnia, Kosovo and Chechnya, they try and turn the worlds attention away from the carnage they created by trying to make the world focus on insignificant issues such as the rights of homosexuals and the laughably obvious lies regarding the "annihilation" of women in Afghanistan, all the while never mentioning that all the rubbish they report has not one ounce of truth. This of course creates public distaste of Muslims and Islam and influences public opinion to keep the leaders or monsters in office, who remain then empowered to continue their oppression of not just Muslims, but any nation or people who seek to get away from the lies, the filth, the oppression and the murder and live in peace. Who else would love to see such carnage of humans, and by the use of weapons of mass destruction, the destruction of all life, horrible pollution, disease, misery and death - only the devil. So for all of those who think that the word of the Western media is God's word and the acts of the Western oppressors are the acts of wise, leaders who love justice, honour and peace..think again - we my friends are dealing with the devil and his minions. We Muslims do have a weapon - oil, but unfortunately that commodity is controlled by those who have sold their souls for a pittance and dance to the tune of their Western masters, the same oppressors, the same ones who are the minions of the blighted one- the devil. Wake up Muslims , wake up and live and die with honour not like pigs and sheep, then at least you will have some hope when you are brought before the real Master - God, the All-Mighty, the All-powerful, the All-Knowing, the Creator, the Compassionate, the Great, the Merciful and the Just - whom Putin now wants to challenge as is evident by his recent statements.

I truly mean this when I say that the heroic struggle being undertaken by your brothers will not go unrewarded. Their actions give me a healthy respect for their beliefs and struggle and I will now always have a place in my heart for Chechnya and its people. I will tell my children of their struggle and what they have to endure as a test of faith -blessed be Allah-and will tell my children how ferocious and determined they-the fighters-are. Please tell your brothers in Chechnya that we in the West are not all being silent and that their actions will never be forgotten, in fact I envy their strength and faith in God. I have been reading the writings of Basayev and others and wish I could be there to help your brothers in person. When they are cold in the snow at night and hungry while waiting to surprise the enemy my thoughts are with them and as such I hope it makes the struggle a little more bearable. They will not be forgotten and will not go gently into the night." [Mr ZD, Australia, 26 March 2000]
"The Russians Generals did not learn from the previous lessons: the Afghani lesson and the first Chechnya war were not enough to teach them that they have no chance to defeat those Fearless Islamic fighters. And now they are happy for the arresting of Salman Raduyev. Did they forget that the independence hero Dzhokar Dudayev (may Allah (SWT) forgive and have mercy on him) has been killed during the last war? However his martyrdom did not effect the Chechen's brave resistance. Any way the Chechen Falcon Salman is arrested now (may Allah (SWT) help him) , he has chosen this path , he expected the martyrdom every moment , and he knows that the war against the criminals will not be stopped . Your sacrifices effected me very much as I started praying the Fajr in the mosque to make dua� for you.

"I am glad you put the article describing the falsehood of rumors about division among Chechens. Since the early 1900's the enemies of Sirat Al Mustaqim have devised a plan to separate believers using the Wahhabi / Sufi and miscellaneous labels. When they are trained to fight us, they are taught skills of division (similar to that used by Lawrence of Arabia). More importantly the cunning among them know that they cannot win over us using weapons or wit. They try to divide us or make us do things that would make our du'as unaccepted when we raise our hands towards the sky. Please make sure you inform the millions of readers on this website to ignore similar falsehoods in the future. After the war of Chechnya, the enemies of Islam will try to use similar tactics to make other Muslims indifferent to the persecuted Muslims. This is a opportune moment (Millions of Muslims visiting every day) to educate them. They should be reminded that such falsehoods will be a recurring theme. Please try to release similar statements about the fallacy of division among Muslim ranks at least once a month. You are well aware of a recent string of events where the enemies of Islam kill their own innocent civilians and blame it on Muslims (Algeria, New York, Moscow, Egypt, and now Kashmir). But they make a plan and Allah makes a plan, and Allah is the better planner. Please keep up the good work. I hope you realize how valuable your work is. The Cold War was created to keep up the millions in defense spending that made corporations and a few people rich after WWII. Russia was never a Superpower and Insha Allah the Caucus mountains will be the last bragging rights for this bully.

Unfortunately, Muslims in Britain are far from showing support for their brothers and sisters. It is sad to say that despite many Islamic organisations there are lack of awareness and enthusiasm. From personal experience I can tell you that when I related the event to some muslims who claim to be �striving� for the sake of Allah they seemed reluctant to answer the call SubhanAllah. As a sister I could not do much e.g organise demonstration. After letting the main masjid know, they had stuck up the poster. Alhamdullilah some of us sisters sent e-mails. I felt useless as the morale is VERY low here. Ya Allah please guide us. What has happenend to the Muslims in Britain? Do they need reminders like their brothers and sisters in Bosnia and Kosovo? They were �European� countries, not a country in the East. Sometimes I think we need such an awakening than maybe, when one calls for �action� in this �unity� that some of us like to shout about but not put into practice, realise. What a shame upon the Muslims of this country. You always hear the lovely slogans of �Khilafa� and people doing rallies for it, SubhanAllah even though we know that the blood of a Muslim is more sacred than the Ka�ba!!!!

My brothers of Chechnya , every time I pray to Allah I'm praying for you victory against your enemies. Don't be sad or worry because Allah is with you, and all the Muslims ( brothers and sisters ) are with you , and the good and honest people who are not Muslim are with you too." [Brother SK, Barcelona, Catalonia, 21 March 2000] "I am an American citizen and not Muslim, but I would like to express my support for your Chechen cause. May God be with you and all your brothers on the field of battle. I condemn Russia for sending untrained children into battle and for the killing of innocents. The pictures on your site are very eye opening, I only wish the rest of the world could/would see them. Perhaps then you would get the help you deserve. May you victory be swift and with little loss." [Mr. DT, NY, USA, 24 March 2000]
"Why isn't Russia's genocidal campaign in Chechnya being seriously criticized in the West? Don't you think that the Russian ultimatum to the innocent civilians in Grozny to "flee or die" is a barbaric act that violates all human rights and all norms of civilized behavior? Why is it that the IMF, the World Bank, and Western nations are continuing to give billions of dollars in aid to Russia when it is indiscriminately killing babies and innocent civilians? Why are they financing genocide? Why are they giving aid to Russia despite its money laundering? Why is the US government not taking any (serious) action against Russia when, in fact, several agents of the "KGB" (or FSB), which still governs it, have been caught red-handed spying against the US? When will Western nations stop being gullible about the KGB-governed Russia's sinister intentions? When will they realize that what President Regan branded as the "Evil Empire" is still alive and deadly? Didn't Russia put on a "democracy" mask nine years ago to veil its hideous designs, so that it could secure advanced Western technology and money? Didn't the Russians put on that mask simply to pacify the West?" [Brother TS, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, 21 March 2000]
"My prayers to all my beloved brothers and sisters fighting for Chechnya. The first time I checked your homepage, I cried almost half the night. It was an eye-opener, a reminder of what is substantial in this temporary life and what is not, a reminder that most of the time I have been worried about such trivialities in life. I am extremely proud to be a Muslim seeing your holy Jihad! I am so proud of the brothers who are Shaheed fighting for the Deen of Allah! My assistance to you in the mean time is through my du'a and supplication that Allah help you to win the war!" [Sister UD, USA, 23 March 2000]
"What excellent news that the murdering and raping OMON troops have been massacred yet again. They are the so-called elite troops of Russia and that they are invincible as the propaganda about them seems to suggest. Well done! Allah's warriors are indeed guided with divine intent. 4000 Mujahideen against 110,000 Russians that is almost 1:40 ratio. An unheard of ratio. The Germans lost Stalingrad with a ratio of 1:20 and they were the best soldiers ever. So all we can see is that indeed Allah is guiding them and it is a sign for those who believe..Allahu Akbar!" [Brother SR, New Delhi, India, 22 March 2000]
"My prayers and my thoughts, waking and sleeping for you. May Allah bless and guide you all towards victory for all of Islam. Muslims all over the world rise, rise against these cruel oppressors who take many forms, of which the worst and most deceptive is that of an apparent friend. Time and time again by their actions and by their words leaders from the US, UK and France have made it blatantly clear that the ultimate goal is the prevention or destruction of any Islamic state, and to a large degree they have succeeded. They had done well as in Turkey, where though the people are good Muslims, the Government with its devilish military pursues the dream of a pure secular state - and in Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco and Pakistan where to be a Muslim is considered unfashionable. But all of a sudden there is a sense of panic amongst these "world powers" as is evident from the suppression of factual news in these countries which are the bastions of "truth and free press" and the bolstering of rubbish propagated by their newly found friends, the professional liars - the Russians. No dirty trick is left untried. Recently they tried to sow seeds of hate by falsely reporting that the Mujahid brothers were at war with each other - Astughfirullah. They are hoping upon hope that Russia will be their instrument for achieving world domination - too bad though, for Allah through the brave Muslims of Chechnya and the brother Mujahids from all over who fight alongside them, Inshallah will prove to them even they are completely at His mercy." [Brother TN, NY, USA, 21 March 2000]
"I am deeply moved by reading your site and Insha-Allah I will support our cause. I am your every day Western Muslim who resides in slumber. When my eyes do open, I close them to shield me from my duties. Oh brave warriors of our Lord, please pray that the Allah broadens the chest of Muslims like myself all over the world. May Allah grant you success in this life and the hereafter, Ameen." [Brother IH, UK, 24 March 2000]
" O Allah, unite the the word of Your perfected Deen to enlighten the Ummah of Muhammad (PBUH) to wake up to the truth. O Allah, bless the Ummah of Muhammad (PBUH) to keep on being the ones known for " Ta'murun Bil Ma'ruf, Wa Tanhawna An Al Munkar", i.e, the ones to command the good and disallow the wicked. O Allah, bless the Ummah of Muhammad (PBUH) to share its treasure of this perfected Deen with the rest of their fellow humans. O Allah, unite the Ummah of Muhammad (PBUH) to stand up for the truth in this war in Chechnya, so that they save the lives of their fellow Muslims, and they save the existence of Your perfected Deen in this Caucuses' land. O Allah, unite the Ummah of Muhammad (PBUH) to stand 100% behind their best example in Jihad for Islam by supporting my beloved Mujahideen to gain victory." [Brother AHM, Ottawa, Canada, 24 March 2000]
"I have just read the news about our Muslim brothers fighting a Jihad war in Chechnya from your website. The way our brothers fought the war is unbelievable especially in facing one of the modern armies of the world, but yet they did not give up. Actually I've been following the war in Chechnya from the Western media, which of course do not portray the real coverage concerning our Muslim brothers. Even as a champion in human rights, the western media failed to highlight the matter convincingly especially the way the Russian army are treating and abusing the rights of our Chechen brothers and sisters. They treated this lightly and in a very different manner compared to the one in East Timor. Why? Because the Chechens are Muslims. But one thing which is a concern to me is, why are Muslim countries not doing anything to help the Muslim Chechens?" [Brother WSH, Malaysia, 22 March 2000]
"It is sad to witness what has been happening to you and see the silence from the rest of the world. What is more devastating is to see the leaders of the Muslim world saying nothing about what the Russian government is doing against the entire population of Chechnya. I would like to assure you that regular Muslims are standing behind you. They are sorry about what is happening to you and they remember you in their prayers. Muslims of Toronto, Canada are organizing a mass demonstration on Saturday, March 25 to protest against the oppression and genocide and to show their support to Chechens. I would like to encourage you all to have patience. You are indeed in a difficult test." [Brother ABK, Toronto, Canada, 22 March 2000]

"Assalamu Alaikum and Eid Mubarak...I'm sorry to see that there was an extremely small show of true Muslims , protesting on the 17th. I guess all the Muslims were out having a feast at some Eid party. And only some 2500 total were man enough to stand up in the name of Allah. You guys get tons of email from people saying this and that about "I wish I could be there" blah blah , but if you wish to give up your life, and you can't, then for what reason can't you give your time to a simple day's protest...its the least you can do. Your brothers are being slaughtered and tortured. Are you going to tell Allah you had to go out with friends on Eid and do Allah knows what. Anyway , I also wanted to say I'm outraged about something 'excite' wrote, in the caption under those pictures of the protest they stated 3 times, that "radical" Muslims were protesting for their "brothers" and they did the quotes , in Chechnya. Hmm, so now if you stand up to protest mass murder, you're radical. Maybe I just didn't know. Once again I'd like to send my salaams and Eid Mubarak to the Chechens fighting for the cause of Allah, may Allah protect you from evil, may Allah make the Russians bullets go astray, and may Allah once again scatter the fire of the Russians and disorient their soldiers and give the Mujahideen another victory. Allahu Akbar!" [Brother M, Maryland, USA, 20 March 2000]
"I am a United States citizen, a Christian, but I cannot but feel heartfelt pain and pride for the Muslims fighting against the forces of darkness in Chechnya. I support your cause and have had my eyes opened to the power that gives victory to your warriors in battle. May God be with your son, your brother, your husband, your father. I have written my political representatives in support of the Chechen cause and I have written Russia's leader, Putin, telling him that I think he is intentionally murdering Chechens and his own Russian soldiers in Chechnya. May God grant an overwhelming victory to the Chechens and their allies!!" [Mr. DB, Idaho, USA, 18 March 2000] "O my brothers and brave soldiers of Allah (SWT), Assalaamu Alaikum. I just heard from the CBC news (Canadian national TV news) that last year's Bombings in Moscow buildings was the act of Russian secret police. This is a proof that Chechen Mujahideen were not behind this act as you always claimed to be innocent. Allah is teaching them but they are blind and cannot see. May Allah (SWT) teach the Russians and their supporters the final lesson. Ameen!! May Allah (SWT) destroy those who call you terrorists. Shame on British Prime Minister who called Mujahideen terrorists and praised the infidel Putin for his killing of innocent people. You are always in my prayers and be sure that Allah (SWT) very soon will bless you with victory Insha'Allah." [Brother S, Canada, 19 March 2000]
"With all my heart and soul I completely trust the judgement and recommendation of Azzam Publication about ORF. Any common mind can understand that the recommendation by Azzam Publication is NOT worthy of any investigation. Azzam Publication is the first and ONLY news agency which has brought "Islamic Revolution" among the Muslim community of the internet. There is nothing wrong to investigate about sending the donation for the Muslims of Chechnya. We Muslims must keep in mind that the intention of donation for the Muslim victims is ONLY to please Allah(SWT) the Most High who has enabled us to be able to help others. Therefore, my dear Muslim brothers and sisters please do not delay because the brothers and sisters in Chechnya are in bad need of help and they can not wait for our investigation about ORF. May Allah (SWT) help me and rest of the Ummah to donate as much as we can to please the Lord the Most High, Owner of our wealth. O' Allah (SWT) please accept our donation for the help of our brothers and sisters in Chechnya and bring them out of hardship. O' Allah (SWT) you know that our donation is nothing compared to the sacrifice and efforts of the Mujahideen who are fighting to raise your Words. O' Allah (SWT) we are very week and coward Muslims who cannot go and help our brothers and sisters in Chechnya so we are going to use Omega Relief Foundation. But still we love you and fear you O' Allah (SWT), and beg you to give us strength and make us strong Muslims like our Mujahideen brothers in Chechnya." [Brother AP, USA, 18 March 2000]
"Would YOU please get your facts straight? There are now between 1.5 and 1.6 BILLION people in the world TODAY who profess belief in the religion of Islam. NOT 800 million, as Agence France Presse says (AFP is a virulently anti-Muslim and anti-Islam "news" agency, the most vicious of them all), NOT 900 million as the BBC states, NOT 1 billion as Associated Press (AP) says, NOT 1.2 billion as Reuters says, but 1.5 BILLION AT LEAST, as Madeleine Albright, the US Secretary of State herself recently stated. She gets her news NOT from news agencies but the CIA and MORE IMPORTANTLY, the census of Muslim nations themselves. 1.5 billion out of a world population of 6 billion makes one- fourth, or one-quarter, or 25%, of the total world population, or one out of every 4 people on the earth." [Mr. TR, Chief Asia Correspondence, The PC-Postal Metropolitan E-Zine, Montreal, Canada, 20 March 2000] "May Allah (SWT) give you strength and solidarity and may He support you with His angels as He did in Badr, may Allah give myself and the Ummah the strength and courage to recognise and fulfill our duties and responsibilities to you, for Allah knows best that we are more in need of helping you and than you are in need of our help.

"Alhamdulillah, the Mujahideen are still doing very good. The Russian pigs are taking a beating everyday. This is what they called the captured commander, (Animal), even though he fell in their hands by his own people betrayal and not in the battle field, they still called him (Hayawan). Imagine when a bunch of pigs attacking your own home and raping women, men, killing kids, women and old people and torturing them every possible way they can and still call the humans by animal names. If that pig who calls the Mujahideen animals have any sense of human behavior, he would not atleast call them that, it is a word he should be punished for just only saying it. The Mujahideen Insha Allah will show him who is the animal, and show him that he is fighting Allah through the Mujahideen and Al-mala'ekah and he will never win." [Brother A, USA, 19 March 2000]

"We are Malaysian Muslims celebrating Eid full of joys, but how about our brothers and sisters in Chechnya??? When I look at each face of the Muslims here in Malaysia, I wonder how about us if we are facing the situation like our brothers and sisters do in Chechnya??? I think maybe not so many of us will have the bravery to stand together against such a strong (in the eyes of human beings) opponent like Russia. What I regret is the Muslims here are flopped under the convenience and peace of the country . However, the war in Chechnya has awakened the 'chosen Muslims' here, to fight together with Chechen brothers and sisters similar to what had happened in Afghanistan. Insha Allah, our representatives for the Jihad are there with all of you or will come to fight the Russians sooner or later. We, the Muslims of Malaysia pray for the victory of Chechen Mujahideen, for both, to achieve the victory of war and to achieve the victory of grabbing the Jannah (Allah's promise for Shaheeds), Insha Allah. Your fight will surely help Islam, the religion of Allah. Allahu Akbar..." [Brother ZC, Pahang, Malaysia, 19 March 2000]
"I would like to tell you that I always make dua when I pray. I only wish that I could assist my fellow brothers in Chechnya but I am told that I would not make it in alive. Every day, I get more and more frustrated with the way the world treats Muslims, but as Islam teaches, we must be patient and keep praying to Allah to help us in these times of hardship. I am only 19 years old, and still am learning about my religion, and I will always pray for you and all the Muslims in the world.

"On your solidarity day I wish to express my support for your Country in its fight against State tyranny orchestrated by Putin's government. Your bravery against such overwhelming odds is remarkable. Today we hear via the BBC that despite Russian claims, Komsomolskoye is still under your control. The devastation of Chechnya by the Russians is a war crime in itself. Your cause is just even if British politicians like our Prime minister prefer not to say anything out of fear of upsetting Putin. Too many western leaders are being quiet over Chechnya for the same reason and Putin makes the most of that silence to pursue his imperialistic aims. Your cause is just and in the end the Russians will be forced out again as before. May your country and its people one day be free." [Mr DP, Imperial College, London, UK, 17 March 2000]

Because they cannot go to Hajj, may Allah reward them even more because they are at Jihad. Insha Allah, one day we will all stand together as one Nation and fight the Kuffar, all enemies of Islam.

"The Russian liars first said that they will pursue and eliminate the Mujahideen in days, then it became months, and now they say it will take them years. They are also saying that they will assassinate the amirs of the Mujahideen. I guess they forgot what happened when they murdered Br. Dzokhar Dudayev (may Allah give him Jannah) in the last war, the Russian's humiliation even surpassed American experience in Vietnam. Brothers don't lose hope.

"I am a very weak Muslim and trying my best to be like the Chosen Ones in Chechnya. I called the Chechen Mujahideen "Chosen Ones" because my gut feeling is that they are the ones that Prophet Mohammed (SAW) said in his hadith that people from East will come forward to fight for Islam and save the Islamic world from aggressors. (Apologies for not remembering the exact words of hadith). For some reason I woke up last night (which I have hardly done in my life) and performed 2 rakats of Tahajjud and cried in front of Allah (SWT) to send victory for the Chosen Ones before the day of Arafat this year, Inshallah. I begged Allah (SWT) for the victory and to make the Iman of the Mujahideen stronger than before and keep them strong and steadfast in their lines. These Russian barbarians and their partners do not understand that for Allah (SWT) it is No Big Deal, all He has to say is "Kun" and VICTORY will happen. Inshallah, The Lord of the Worlds (SWT) will show the friends of Shaitan the punishment of fighting against His soldiers.

Keep supplying the body bags O brave Mujahideen. Putin's election is just under two weeks away and it seems their own propaganda techniques cannot shield the truth anymore.

Also, disregard the lowly attempts of the British officials in their trying to link you braves ones to acts of war crimes and atrocities. They are in a state of disarray, and are relying on the only means by which they can remove themselves from the eventual reality of total defeat, at the hands of the Glorious Mujahideen of Chechnya. Admonish those who are Muslim, and exhort them to take heed, and be mindful of the only weapon that the evil Jew, Slav and Saxon have save weapons of total destruction, which they can use against the Mighty Mujahideen. They publish visual falsehoods of captured Mujahideen and Russians caring for Mujahideen: utter falsehood. Yet, they fail to release the images of our brothers and sisters who are trapped in death camps, being viciously mutilated. May our Most High have mercy upon our brethren, who are detained.

I regularly visit your great site to know the TRUE news of these GREAT MEN OF COMBAT. The way our Western "leaders" have shown their ugly hypocrisy is extremely annoying. Finally, I must add that I am surprised that all I read on your site is message after message of support for the brave fighters. Not a single person has asked you to actually support the Chechens by writing to the rulers of the Western World, Human Rights Organizations, Newspapers, TV stations in your countries. This is real support that Chechens will appreciate. By simply telling Qoqaz.com that "our hearts are with Shamil + Khattab + All Fighters" is not enough! I urge every reader to send a letter to Tony Blair at the following address:- Rt. Hon Tony Blair MP Prime Minister's Office 10 Downing Street London SW1A 2AA Let him know that he is a liar and a hypocrite. I wonder what happened to his "Ethical Foreign Policy". Mr Blair: The man you shook hands with and said that you have a lot in common with is a TERRORIST who has terrorized a whole nation.

Last one is USA pretends to be on Chechen side but is actually supporting Russia because they did not do anything (Unlike in East Timor) to stop the war so far." [Brother HH, Turkey, 15 March 2000]
"It's hard to believe that while "non-Muslims" are calling Putin a war criminal, some Religious Muslim leaders and Chechens on top of it are actually giving him a "Buddy" hug!....that's like blessing him for exterminating whoever is unfortunate to be a Chechen...What the hell is happening to us? are we born traitors..can't we see the difference between right and wrong?...So what now Mr Kadyrov and Mr Gainutdin? are you going to take up arms against those who are spilling their guts so that the next generation can be proud of itself and live in peace? You know people die are their names are forgotten, but the names of traitors and of those involved in genocide against their own people will remain. I dare you to explain yourself to a refugee child or an orphan!..Good Luck!" [Brother MH, Tokyo, Japan, 15 March 2000] "This has been a week in which Allah the Almighty has bestowed the honor of Shahadah on some of his best soldiers. I just finished reading about Shaheed Abu Thabit and though I had tears in my eyes. I felt a sense of pride deep inside me to think that we Muslims have such truly great men amongst us. We in Kashmir this week saw the Shahadah of one of our our greatest Mujahids, Shaheed Abdul Hameed Bhat and I somehow felt that in the blessed period, Allah's greatest soldiers are getting the ultimate reward of Shahadah from Him."

"To everyone who thinks life is forever, for those who say it's not true, for those who don't care, for every human alive and mature today, I got news for you. Your time is very close so prepare your defense for soon you will stand in front of your Creator. For the Mujahideen and all other brothers and sisters in Chechnya, Allah is with you so don't worry. In this life you did what others only dream of doing, in the Akhira, Jannah waits for you Insha Allah. For Putana and Blaira [I don't think they are men] I pray you suffer great deal in this life and rot in Hell forever after. For those big ugly so-called leaders of the Muslim world I say to you eat as much as you can now because your time is up and I hope you join your friends Putana and Blaira in hell."

"I have just gone through your web site about Chechnya (www.qoqaz.net). I must congratulate you on this excellent effort made from your side because I think that at the present moment it is a must for us Muslims, so as to counteract the propaganda of the entire world-media which is of course united against Islam. It is our duty now to convey the correct news to all of our brothers who don't know the real situation until now." [Dr. SZW, USA, 16 March 2000]
"Alhamdulillah, it gives us great pleasure to see the obligation of Jihad being awakened among the Ummah which for centuries had been forgotten and sometimes even denied upon. Now we have these warriors of Allah to combat the evil desires of Kufr. The Ummah should now realize that to attain supremacy of Allah's Law on Allah 's earth , Jihad is the only way ! .....Its an obligation equally important as Salah, Zakat, Hajj etc. In the present state we are at war with Kuffar everywhere: Chechnya, Palestine, Kashmir, Bosnia, Burma, Philippines and Above All, they have even occupied our Holy places. See them all over middle east and Hijaz. Is it justified for us to sit in homes and indulge in our self-centered lives?" [Brother IK, Pakistan, 10 March 2000]

"All praise be to Allah and may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon the Prophet Muhammad(PBUH). Brothers I want you know however small it is I will try what I can to participate in the Jihad by distributing the every day news from your site in the masjids, schools and as e-mails. I am from Somalia. Insha Allah I will join you in the front. But one advice for all of us: let's learn from our past mistakes." [Brother MS, USA, 13 March 2000]
"Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh, to the bravest people on planet earth: the Mujahideen in Chechnya. Thank you to the Mujahideen who are fighting the Jihad in Chechnya in particular and the rest of the world in general. You are our pride. Don't mind the deafening silence of the so-called "Islamic leaders" in Muslim countries. Except the Taliban government, most of them are so old and so sick, a few playboys and they don't count so much anyway. Thanks to the Afghanistan government too, for showing us the true spirit of Islamic brotherhood. The people on the street, the faqirs, the poor are with you, praying for you always. To the Mujahideen you are our leaders now, we look up to you. Not those sick old men and certainly not those playboys." [Brother NY, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 13 March 2000]
"Do not forget me. I am the one with the empty looking eyes; war torn; speechless; hard like steel, but inside, like glass, I am shattered. I have witnessed death. It revealed its horrid face in the form of my mother, father, sister and brother. And with death, came destruction. It left me a portrait of grief. Where are you? Can't you hear me? My whole village represents loss; filled with still-framed memories of the less fortunate ones, whose spirits walk about aimlessly, waiting for a resting-place. I am alive; yet I stand alone in the middle of these makeshift graves, amongst these mounting bones: am I not also less fortunate? Nevertheless, it is each man for himself; remember me. I am just a child. If I depress you, please do not turn away. Do not forget me; note my haunting stare. Let it pierce through your heart, reminding you it could be your child. Imagine. When you look into your child's eyes, see my eyes of emptiness staring back at you. When you hear his or her cries, hear my silence, ringing louder and louder in your mind. Cry me oceans, lakes and streams and may your salty tears attempt to heal my eternal wounds; provide me nourishment, with your overburdening emotion. I lost my voice when I lost everything. Your endless determination speaks for me now. All that I feel remains, is a skeleton of who I was and who I am. And if by chance I die tomorrow, please do not forget me. I am too, a (little) martyr. I am the one with empty looking eyes; war torn; speechless; hard like steel, but inside, like glass, I am shattered." [Sister HA, Toronto, Canada, 13 March 2000]

The ones who are making everyone proud to be a Muslim when reading the news that our brothers in Chechnya are killing the Russians. There are thousands of du'as by the people who are reading this site. All the people who work on this site: Thank you for this great work and keep this site running . I want to wish everybody a happy Eid ul Adha, especially the Mujahideen and the Chechen people." [Brother L, Netherlands, 13 March 2000] "My brothers in Islam, we are very proud of you because you cause Muslim people all over the world to wake up from their deep sleep. I am sure that there are lots of way we can help you. For example, at least we can help the Chechen families who come to our countries as refugees and also the families of Shaheeds from our countries. I invite all Muslim people to help Chechnya at least in these ways. May Allah give you a glorious victory." [Brother N, USA, 14 March 2000]

God almighty will guide you faithful, brave, steadfast warriors to victory in this life and to Al-Firdaus in the hereafter Insha Allah. The Lord has entrusted you with a great mission of awakening the Muslims to shape the future of the Muslim Ummah therefore, our brothers and sisters running this site with the grace of Allah (SWT) are among the ranks of Chechen Mujahideen.

"My dear brothers and sisters, every time I face the Ka'ba and bow myself in front of Almighty Allah (SWT), I pray that I Inshallah, at one point of my life, have even an ounce of the faith that you brothers and sisters have. Nevertheless I pray that Almighty Allah helps you in your struggle with this evil. But you must know that the victory is already yours. You have already won. The moment you declared your submission to Allah (SWT) you obtained the greatest victory. You obtained the love and support of The Creator of the Heavens and the Earth. Allah(SWT) says "that he who declares war against My servant, I shall declare war on him". My dear brothers and sisters, the victory and the Heavens are yours Insha Allah. May Allah Almighty give the rest of this Ummah the same strength, faith, love and devotion to Allah (SWT) & His Messenger (PBUH) as you brothers and sisters have and may Allah be with us all in this struggle for the truth."

"The Muslims had never carried out any of the crimes on others and they never will Insha Allah e.g.: mutilation of dead bodies, raping, gang raping, and forcing people to watch as one Serb prison guard had confessed in Bosnia and Kosovo, stripping people in front of others, forcing people to rape their own people at gun point, using heavy weapons on civilians, carrying out experiments on the prisoners bodies etc. All animalistic in nature. And they call us Muslims barbaric, inhuman, terrorists, and with so many other ugly names. And they show themselves as soft, soooo nice people etc. What a strange idea !! ...And we are believing them." [Brother HZK, Qatar, 13 March 2000]
"With tears falling and anger in my heart, I would like to call upon my Muslim brothers that WE should reach Chechnya (land of Jihad) to help our brothers. Sending emails is not enough, while our brothers are being killed each day, while our sisters are being raped and mutilated, IT IS A SHAME ON US who enjoy life and forget about the Day of Judgment. Where are you brothers? Where are Ummathul Islam? Where is your pride and dignity? We all have beloved family, we may all have a job and a bright future, but what does bring happiness is to fight the way Allah asked to do, to raise Islam's flag and fight Kuffar. Please wake up. Remember that we all are responsible for what is happening. May Allah help us overcome our Dunya Love and strengthen us enough to raise arms against our enemies." [Brother AM, USA, 13 March 2000]
"To Chechen Mujahideen, never give up fighting the terrorists and never surrender to the so-called world body UN or NATO funded and manipulated by the West in order to crush other civilizations, mainly Islam. UN or NATO and the like will never guarantee a peaceful and fair nation as required in Islam. By contrast, such world bodies will show belated and fake concerns over Chechen Muslims and intervene in the Russian-Chechen war in favor of the devil Russia. They would hand over Chechnya to 'good' Russian leadership (after Putin goes to Hell Insha Allah in the near future) in order to stealthily stifle the Muslim Chechens and assassinate one Chechen leader after another. Believe in Allah as He says "How, many small groups have overcome big ones". Fight in the way of Allah as you do right now, then you will find Chechnya become second Afghanistan and humiliated Putin degenerate to be the second egg-headed Gorbachov. Believe that Allah will always provide you with invisible troops who will crush Russian fighters in the air and tanks on earth. Russians troops will be seeing second Ahzab and Badr wars Insha Allah."

"Brothers and sisters. I believe what I wanted to say has already been said. But nonetheless, I will say it. I cannot sleep in the night when I see pictures of my Muslim brothers and sisters being massacred on Television every night. I feel pain in my chest. I ask myself questions. What is going on among the Muslim Ummah? Where did we go wrong? Is there anything positive we can learn from this genocide going on? Let's not forget that genocide against Muslims has and is still continuing going in many parts of the world -- including Kashmir, Palestine, China, Philippines, and many other places. One major lesson is that as Muslims we failed to unite. Let's remember that without unity, we are nothing. United We Stand, Divided We Fall!" [Brother Y, Toronto, Canada, 14 March 2000]
"Dear Muslim leaders, this is a plea from all the Muslims of the world to unite and join forces to help our brothers in Chechnya. Do we really want to be under the western influence whose lives are only in this world and whose main aim is to cleanse this world of Muslims? Can't we be much better and more powerful by our own Muslim unity? Doesn't our heart ache with every suffering of our beloved brothers and sisters in Chechnya. While the Kuffar regime is torturing our Muslim brothers, isn't it our duty to do something? Let your concerns be heard and thus bring peace and comfort to millions of Muslims. The western nations are afraid of the Muslims. We are the real superpower and they know it. This is why they are killing the Muslims by their new world order. Let us not hide any more. Let us show them what our unity can do and who is the real superpower. Dear Muslim leaders, isn't Chechnya our concern? Aren't they our brothers and sisters? Even if we leave Islam aside, don't they deserve humane help? By Allah, He is watching us day and night. What if a serious punishment falls upon us and we face the same dilemma? Our fear of Him is in us. Allah (SWT) is ever-watching. Whatever we have is only because of Him and not our own doing. So dear Muslim leaders, show us what you can do, show us and let us be proud of you as we are proud of our Chechen brothers who are fighting for their rights with nothing except the love of Allah (SWT) and fighting only to seek His pleasure. And as you know Allah's reward is immeasurable. We, the Muslims from around the world, plead our case once again. Please let us unite and join forces. Let us be heard. Let us stand for our rights. We are not asking for a war. War is not the only solution. If the west can sanction us we can do the same for them. We are not dependent on them. Our voices are small and may be unheard and our pleas may be lost in the wind but Allah is the witness that we have asked what we want from our Muslim leaders. Out of the 50+ Islamic nations, at least one or two will stand up bravely and do us proud. They will be the ones whom Allah will choose for his limitless blessings. Insha Allah. May Allah (SWT) help us all." [Brother IF, USA, 14 March 2000]
"We know that Kuffar are helping each other with everything (money, weapons, media etc.). We Muslims, we send only Du'a to Chechnya and that is not enough. We must send to Chechnya: trained personnel, money, weapons, medicine, doctors, artificial legs and arms etc. Chechnya is awaiting us- We are people of peace We are people of war (Jihad)" [Brother S, Somalia, 14 March 2000]
"I am a Malaysian. In my country almost 50% of the population are Muslim but I am very sad and disappointed, because here the Muslim are unlike the Chechen Muslim; we are born and named like Muslims, but our acts are like the Kuffar, we are Muslim just in our birth certificate. We can't feel the spirit of being Muslim, unlike the Chechens. They fight and sacrifice to stand as a Muslim, to feel the Iman. The Chechens fight in Jihad, kill or being killed to get reward and recognition as a Mu'min from Allah (SWT). Victory Chechnya! Victory Islam! I really hope one day I will be able to join as a Mujahideen somewhere in this world." [Brother S, Malaysia, 14 March 2000]

"I refer to the British Prime Minister who chooses to call our Mujahideen as "terrorists" and that the Russians should respond "proportionately". This word means that the UK, supports a campaign that destroys and annihilates the so-called rebels, war lords and drug traffickers. Prime Minister, you are sadly mistaken, these brave Mujahideen you refer to are the chosen, they have the most impeccable manners, discipline, mercy and respect for fellow human beings. They do not loot, murder, bribe, extort, kill or torture civilians or deal in drugs. They fight only against evil, injustice and aggression. They harbour love for their Lord with total and absolute reverence and obey the commands of his Holy Book. Unlike the "real" terrorists whom you support, who are in violation of normal civilised conduct, looting, bribery, raping, torture, indiscriminate bombing against civilians. I put to him , what about democracy, what about self expression and determination. Is that why when Lord Judd visited a Russian Refugee concentration camp the Chechen women and children shouted anti-Putin sentiments? Why will the Russians not allow foreign journalists, independent observers to come in? Have they something to hide? In a nutshell, it is a war about extermination, it is a holocaust, it is anti Muslim. This round Chechnya, next round YOU. Take note, speak out in support of your brethren in Chechnya. Forget sending your athletes to Sydney, forget about your football matches. Wake up. I hope all you so called Islamic leaders read this. It is not too late...." [Brother AD, Canada, 13 March 2000]

The Muslims in Makkah and all over the world know the stand of this Little island (that they still call Great Britain).

[Brother LR, Ohio, USA, 11 March 2000] "I'm once again raising a voice to condemn what is happening in Chechnya and, even more so, at the criminal indifference of the West and the shameful unconcern of the Muslim world. Chechnya is no more an internal affair of Russia. Chechens have every right to try and break the shackles of slavery, as other territories subjected to the colonial and imperial domination have done all over the world. For America to stand by and allow the butchery and devastation of Chechens and to say it's an internal matter of Russia, is a clear case of hypocrisy, especially in the face of the USA's "righteous indignation" against Iraq for its invasion of Kuwait, which has been followed by crippling sanctions that have caused, and are causing starvation and death of thousands, especially the children. No one is fooled, no one believes that it was done on any ethical or moral basis, but those who pretend that this was so are doing it to justify their behavior. Hence, an occasional tepid remark of condemnation by Clinton is just not enough. But it is the complete lack of concern of the Muslim countries, all 56 of them, their utter and complete disregard is shocking and incomprehensible. Why is it, that the report of utter devastation in Chechnya does not arouse our ire? There has been virtual genocide, a whole people have been exterminated, a whole city destroyed, Grozny is a graveyard. We see pictures of it on TV everyday but our hearts don't ache?"

Everybody is slaughtering Muslims with impunity, it is the law of Allah that if a people do not stand up for themselves, they will be exterminated. Allah made Jihad an obligation so that we may have life. May Allah return the Ummah of Mohammed (SAWS) to its rightful place; May Allah bring from among us leaders that will restore "La Ilaaha Il Allah", and therefore restore human dignity, peace and justice on earth."

In Chechnya our Muslim brothers are still killed by savage Russian soldiers, but Turkish government is still sleeping or wants to be like that, and trying to take tanks that are killing our brothers, from Russia.

Where are the rulers of any of those countries to help their brothers when they need it most? Where are those (puppet) rulers when Israel flies Russian wounded soldiers to Israel to help Kafirun?? Why any Arab country won't do the same and transport the wounded Mujahideen to their facilities? Are they scared of their bosses or haven't gotten OKs from their masters to even to make humanitarian help (forget about the military help)? Where are the richest people among Muslim Ummah to support their brothers' Jihad, while UN and the World Bank keeps backing Russian atrocities financially? And the whole Muslim Ummah is supposed to celebrate Eid in a few days. Do we really deserve this Eid while our Muslim brothers are getting martyred in Chechnya in a same day? Shouldn't we say no happiness until our suffering brothers are happy, no Eid until our tyrannized brothers and sisters and children celebrate Eid with us? ... Insha Allah this Jihad will wake all of us up soon and Unite us under only one flag and we'll start to live with our Islamic Dignity again." [Brother A, Texas, USA, 12 March 2000]
"I am really impressed by your bravery and love for Allah and pray to Allah that he would reward us Muslims in this war against Russian criminals. One thing I have learned in my whole life very clearly and this is: 'Unity Is Power'. No matter how much disagreements we have but when it comes to Islam and survival of Muslims we should all be united, and this is, I think is missing among us Muslims, and that is the reason why other Muslim countries with all this power and weapons are not able to help each other against anti-Islamic aggression. This much genocide of Muslims in Chechnya should be enough for the rulers of the Muslim world to openly start helping Chechen Muslims both morally and militarily. I am very much disappointed by the Pakistani rulers' attitude towards Muslims of Chechnya." [Brother N, Pakistan, 12 March 2000]

Insha Allah you will defeat those atheist Russian soldiers and bring shame and disgrace to that cowardly midget, Putin! This attack on the Chechen Muslims is the latest in the trend of oppression practiced by the evil bloodsuckers in Moscow. The Muslims in the ex-Soviet Union had been forcibly subjected to communist rule for over 70 years. Ever since the defeat of the Ottoman Empire, the Muslim World has been in a state of decline. Insha Allah your victory over the Russians will reverse all this and give much needed hope to the other Mujahideen of the Islamic World. I will be performing the Haj this year, Insha Allah. I will pray for Allah to give you victory and allow you to humiliate the Russian soldiers and for the other Muslims of the region to wake up and start to fight the Russians.

"O Mujahideen, verily Allah is with those who fear Him. Day by day you are destroying the morale and sapping the confidence of the disbelieving Russian army. When will the Kuffar learn their lesson that people who truly fear Allah will always be victorious in the end. Just before the Afghan war Breshnev the acting president of Russia at the time made a statement that the war would be over in 4 weeks. By the grace of Allah that war lasted for just over 10 years and Islam emerged victorious. That war bankrupted Russia. Similarly, this war is also going to have an inevitable outcome, the only difference being it will finally wrap up and destroy Russia off for good together with its allies. So fear not Mujahideen for Allah is with you and go in and destroy every kuffar soldier that has set foot in Chechnya, Inshallah. You are always in my Prayers."

" 'Umar bin Al-Khattab (RA) saying: (in his letter to the Commander S'ad bin Abi Waqqas (RA), when he sent him for the conquest of Persia): "...Then after, I order you and all that troops that are along with you to be obedient to Allah in all circumstances as this (being obedient to Allah (SWT)) is better than the weapons against the enemy and a strong stratagem (device) in the war. I order you and the soldiers who are with you to be more cautious and afraid of your own crimes and sins (and not to commit them) than your enemy, as the crimes and sins of the soldiers are more dangerous to them than their enemy. The Muslims are victorious only because their enemies are disobedient to Allah, and had it not been so, we have no power over them, because neither our number is equal to their number, nor our weapons are like theirs. If we commit crimes and sins as they do, then they (our enemies) will have superiority over us in power. And if we will not gain victory over them by our merits, we do not overpower them by our strength. And you should also know that in this marching of yours (for Allah's Cause) there are guards (angels) upon you from Allah (SWT) (to watch you), and they know all what you do. So be shy from them and do not commit Allah's disobedience (crimes and sins) while you are going in Allah's Cause and do not say: 'Our enemy is worse than us, so they will not overpower us.' Perhaps some people who are worse than the others may overpower the others as the (disbelievers) Magians overpowered the Children of Israel when they (the latter) involved themselves with Allah's disobedience (crimes and sins). So they (disbelievers, Magians) entered the very innermost parts of their homes and it was a promise (completely) fulfilled. And ask Allah (SWT) the assistance over your ownselves, (to save you from crimes and sins) just as you ask Allah for the victory over your enemies... I ask Allah (SWT) for that, both for you and for us." May Allah (SWT) reward the Mujahideen. And increase them in Faith and may we remember them in all our prayers. And may Allah reward those who are spending time gathering the important, essential information, news." [Brother AM, London, UK, 10 March 2000]

I cannot think of any other more glorious way of ending my life than to end it side by side with the bravest of all Allah's creatures. Insha Allah I will see you on the field of battle." [Brother HK, USA, 11 March 2000]
"Please make dua for me that I join you in Chechnya to fight the Kuffar for the path of Allah. Everytime I read the news from your website, I cry and cry and I hope that one day I catch the wagon of the Shuhadaa. It is surely a blessing from Allah to fight in His path and get Shahaada. I ask Allah that He does not prohibit me from getting this great reward. Money and degrees don't get you happeness, Living and dying for Allah does. I love you for the sake of Allah and I am always making dua for you and remember you in every moment of my life. I would like to tell you that every night I have a dream that I am in the battlefield; one day I had a dream that I was fighting in Chechnya and that I knocked down two helicopters, one was completly destroyed and the other was severely damaged. By the Mercy of Allah, when I checked the site the next day, I got the great news that two helicopters where down. I am always dreaming of fighting, however, dreams are not enough and what counts is the real Jihad. It is your great work, by the blessing from Allah, that kills the enemy of Allah and inspires us to fight in the Path of Allah." [Brother AB, USA, 11 March 2000] "I'm young Muslim man from Somalia now living in New Zealand, I regularly visit the qoqaz site and today I had a very deep and emotional feeling when I saw the shaheed Khallad (may Allah (SWT) make him rest in peace and reward him with Paradise). I hope that he'll be a very good example to us all that are not right now in Jihad and hope that he'll be the example that enlightens our hearts to go to Jihad one day." [Brother WT, New Zealand, 11 March 2000]
"The Western world has spoken. Encouraging words from the French, the "virtuous" Bill Clinton and supporting statements from Tony Blair and Madeline Albright to Putin the Butcher and by their visits to pay him tribute, is a blatant confirmation of the "Superpower" support for the atrocities and mayhem being perpetrated on the Muslims of Chechnya. All of a sudden from their pseudo show of belated compassion in Bosnia and Kosovo, their true colours and intentions are blindingly apparent even to the most dense and mentally benign of us, in their conciliatory tones and actions towards Russia. No longer the sly wink and nod, rather an open anti-Islamic and anti-Muslim policy is the now the norm. But many of us "Muslims" are beyond using our God given mental faculties and cruelly look the other way, accepting the answers and solutions provided by those who have fought our forefathers since the inception of Islam. These are those who would never rest until we become like them. The West, with all its lust for lewed acts, drink, barbarism, oppression, cruelty and filth- yet all, under the hypocritical facade of "care" and "compassion" and "human rights" and "womens rights" - such noble designs of course only being evoked and effected and brought to play when making skillful use and manipulation of such terms via their all powerful news media to criminalize and dehumanize Muslims and make those of us with already tottering and weak faiths, to feel ashamed of being Muslims and to become self- deprecating and apologetic of Islam. The many faithless "Secular Western Muslims" seek comfort in enjoying the soft life, the money, the drink, the gambling, the women - their reward for turning traitors to their own, to Allah and to Islam. But when death calls, early or late, and they are dragged to face Allah and then off to that most painful and permanent life in eternal Hell, they would then with screams beg to be allowed to go back to mend their ways or exchange their misery in hell for any punishment on earth - but all for naught - it will be too late. It will be then that the likes of the lions, the Shuhada (the Martyred) as the brothers in Cechnya and Afghanistan will peer at them from the heights of heavens and see the final reward of those Munafiqs (Hypocrites) and their Western friends languishing below in hell. That day will be the day of the most incredible remorse and regret for these traitors and their butcher friends. Such "Muslims" whether common-folk or leaders, must ask themselves now, �are we ready to accept the pain and misery which awaits us in this world and the next or are we going to use what ever time we have to make amends and bow to the will of Allah ?' May Allah always be with you my brave brothers, may Allah strengthen your faith and never let you waver, May Allah protect you all, give you good health and make you victorious in this world and the next." [Brother TN, NY, USA, 11 March 2000] "Oh my brothers fighting like Lions, know that all the Muslims in the UK are praying for your success. Paradise lies under the shades of swords for every true Muslim. Do not lose heart in your Rabb, for he has said that he will test us as those before us were tested, and we will cry out " Where is our Allah?" Know that he is closer to you than your jugular vein. Allah will always make you victorious. So fear not my brothers My dua goes out to you in every prayer that I offer May allah grant you Al Firdous. Please even in this time of conflict give dawaa to all the civilians you meet in Chechnya." [Brother NH, London, UK, 10 March 2000]

"A Message to the Ummah of Mohammad (SAWS), from Salahudin Ayyubi - The Liberator of Jerusalem: We hope in Allah Most High, to Whom we Praise, Who leads the hearts of Muslims to calm, from what torments them and ruins their prosperity. Where is the sense of honor of the Muslims? The pride of the Believers? The Zeal of the faithful? We shall never cease to be amazed at how the disbelievers for their part have shown trusts, and it is the Muslims who have been lacking in zeal. Not one of them has responded to the call. Not one intervenes to straighten what is distorted; but observe how far the Franks have gone. What unity they have achieved. What aims they pursue. What help they have given. What sums of money they have borrowed and spent. What wealth they have collected and distributed and divided amongst themselves. There is not a King left in their lands or islands, not a lord or a rich man who has not competed with his neighbors to produce more support and rival his peers in strenuous military efforts. In defense of their religion they consider it a small thing to spend life and soul; and they have kept their infidel brothers supplied with arms and champions of war; and all they have done and all their generosity has been purely out of zeal for him they worship in jealous defense of their faith. The Muslims on the other hand are weak and demoralized; they have become negligent and lazy, the victims of unproductive stupefaction and completely lacking in enthusiasm. If, Allah forbid, Islam should draw rein, obscure her splendor, blunt her sword, there would be no one east or west, far or near who would blaze the zeal for Allah's Religion, or choose to come to the aid of truth against error. This is the moment to cast off laziness, to summon from far and near all those men who have blood in their veins; but we are confident; but we are confident, thanks to Allah - Alhamdolillah - in the help that will come from Him and entrust ourselves to him in sincerity of purpose and deepest devotion. Insha'allah, the disbelievers shall perish and the faithful have a sure deliverance. Salahudin Ayyubi, 12 CE Abu Shamma, Kitab Ar-Rawadatayn" [Brother TR, Texas, USA, 10 March 2000] "O Allah, protect Your soldiers in the heat of the battles in Chechnya just like You protected Your Khalil Abraham when the idolaters threw him in the fire. O Allah, I unhesitatingly know that You suffice in their need. O Allah, protect those innocent bystanders who face torture and indiscriminate bombing everyday from these godless war criminals lead by Putin. O Allah, check these evil aggressors by means of Your vast resources on earth and from heaven." [Brother AHM, Ottawa, Canada, 11 March 2000]

"There is no doubt in my mind that you are winning the war no matter what the hypocrites say. Even the Russians admit that they are losing the war, if they only listen to what they are saying. In the beginning of this war Putin said anything less than the total defeat of the rebels is a defeat for Russia, and recently they said they have everything but the defeat of the rebels. I think they have lied so much they can't even keep track of what they have said. May Allah (SWT) grant you victory as He knows the right time. Keep up the good work brothers. Please pray for me as I pray for you so that Allah (SWT) can help me make up may mind about the most important decision in my life (which has lots of risks), and I am certain that I will be far better place to help my muslim brothers and sisters."

"My brothers in Islam, I am a mother of three daughters and 6 months pregnant with the fourth child. I have been following the news and visiting your website till late at night. I cry for you and ask Allah to raise the Kalimah "Laa ilaaha ill Allah" and "Rayatul Islam" (flag of Islam) in all the caucuses. The du'as of a pregnant woman are accepted even at birth when Insha Allah I shall be making du'as for your success. I perform 2 rakaats of nafil after each salaah and make du'as for you. We also copy the news from your website and give to brothers and sisters in our mosques. May Allah give you success in dunya and akhira." [Sister ND, London, UK, 9 March 2000]
"Please accept my sincere thanks for igniting the flame of Jihad in my heart, and in many others Insha Allah. Praise Allah, it could not be any clearer--while the brave commanders of the Mujahideen race ahead of their junior brothers to clear mine fields, while they give us practical lessons in courage, the enemies of Allah Most High work the worst kind of corruption and terror across the land." [Brother T, USA, 9 March 2000]
"Alhamdulillah. May the Peace and Blessings of Allah The Most High be upon His Messenger. Firstly, We would like to thank you all for this excellent web site to keep us informed. May Allah bestow on you all the best reward. Also we want to say to our Brothers in Chechnya that you are very close to our heart in every du'a, prayer and supplication, may Allah bestow His Mercy and Victory upon us. Today Spanish government has authorized us to make demonstration on 17 March 2000." [Brother P, Spain, 10 March 2000]
"I have been following the conflict in Chechnya since the war began and just want you to know that I am all for the Mujahideen. My heart aches when I see and read the horrors that are described. I have never thought much of Russians and now know that they are the scions of the devil, and Putin the devil himself. My prayers go out to the Mujahideen and I sincerely hope that someday the Chechen and Mujahid are victorious. I am also sorry that the other World governments, including my own, do not have the guts to challenge the Russians on their abuses towards your people. I suppose their decisions are motivated by some political consideration, but their inaction itself is shameful and I am personally embarrassed. Is the US afraid of another Cold War ? I am not a Muslim and do not know much of the ways of Islam, but this I do know: God, is looking down on the sons of Russia and will punish them on Judgment Day, because what they are doing to you is the most abominable thing. I will be thinking of you on Solidarity day." [Mr. C. Burton, USA, 9 March 2000]
"I would like you to know that I�m always praying for our Mujahideen in Chechnya in particular and the Mujahideen in general. And that May Allah keep firm the Mujahideen�s foot on the ground and that He aims their targets on His Enemies and the Mujahideen�s enemies, and May He grant the Mujahideen in Chechnya victory in this world and in the Hereafter - Ameen. It is not surprising that we read that the enemies of Allah are killing each other. Insha Allah the victory is for Islamic Chechnya. O Allah! We ask you to grant them victory! O Allah, Most Exalted are You, we ask that You turn the plots of our enemies against themselves and that You turn their conniving into their self-destruction - Ameen" [Brother AA, Kenya, 10 March 2000]
"Praise be to Allah for a web site that provides us everywhere around the world with authentic information on the Chechen war. The western media are trying their best to portray an image that this war is over, and to many Muslims in western countries this is what they understand. But all praises be to Allah (SWT), the lord of the worlds, the Creator of everything that is in the heaven and earth, He(SWT) will give the Chechen Mujahideen victory. He(SWT) is taking out Shuhadah from our brothers fighting in the land against the Russian Kuffar who are lower than pigs. What an opportunity my brothers in Islam, who are fighting against one of the so called greatest military powers, only through Allah's help have you found victory. The Chechens will win the war. Oh Allah give victory to those who believe, shatter the ranks of the unbelievers who dared to fight Your soldiers, make them confused in their own ranks, make them fight each other and let them be destroyed. I urge my brothers and sisters in Islam all around the world to make the most supplications during the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah, the best of days." [Brother SA, USA, 10 March 2000] "May Allah (SWT) guide you swiftly to victory. May you remain as steadfast in your cause as the day you began. Alhamdulillah, you are doing a tremendous thing for the Muslim Ummah, though they may not recognize it. May Allah (SWT) be quick with His mercy on you Mujahideen brothers, and impose his wrath on those Muslim countries, impotent they are in inaction and indifference to the atrocities going on in Chechnya. Hypocrisy is a plague in this world, committed most significantly by these so called "Muslim" countries....quite unaware that the Day of Judgment is just around the corner. May Allah (SWT) be pleased with you, Brothers, and with the brave Shaheed in paradise, Insha Allah. I have been praying for your safety everyday, Insha Allah I will continue praying. Your website has made me more acute to the injustices I was unaware of in the past. Thank you for your inspiration. God-willing, Islam will persevere." [Sister N, USA, 9 March 2000]
"I only wish the Iman of the brothers and sisters around the world was as strong as yours. Allah will grant you victory, unfortunately it is the Ummah that needs dua. Russian lies are worse than the Americans and may Allah grant you victory over those devils. They think they have all the power but it is Allah who is the most powerful. In the Quran, Allah says what happened to Abraha, the owner of the elephants when he went to destroy the Ka'baa. Allah is the mightiest, when they attack, Allah will guide you to victory. There are some brothers here that are paying attention to what is happening. When we return to our Religion, Allah will help the entire Ummah. You brothers are fighting in the name of Allah and to you, Insha Allah, He will grant you victory." [Brother WM, Edmonton, Canada, 10 March 2000]
"Praise be to Allah(SWT) for giving the Mujahideen victory over the Kuffar Russians. The day isn't far when the Russians will taste dust as they did in the last Chechen war.

And shame on the so-called Muslim countries who are trading with perverted Russians whose hands are soaked with the blood of Chechen Muslims." [Brother N, Atlanta, USA, 10 March 2000]
"I am very pleased to see this site up and running smoothly, so far. I pray for all the people who had anything to do with the making of this site. May Allah Bless you and your families. I am very hurt at what this world has become. Muslims versus the world is what we - Muslims - face everyday of our lives. Whether it is out in the open, or if it is behind our backs, either way, we will never be accepted as followers of the religion of God. The West sees us and tries to label us (in the media's eyes) as Islamic Rebels or Terrorists, or Murderers, or killers...etc. etc. For too long our people have just stood by to watch the enemy move in and destroy our lives, our houses, our families, our culture. We must unite and fight against any enemy of Islam. By the Power of Allah, we will never die. We all have problems within ourselves. We must learn to live, survive, grow and die together as one nation of Muslims from all over the world. The West loves to separate Islam. Adapt Islam and the Qu'ran to the lives of today. Take the Qu'ran and follow it, and do your absolute best to understand Islam. May all Muslim Jihad soldiers be rewarded by Allah forever. This site is Truth. Russians want the Truth to be buried away, like the rest of the world (Non-Muslims). But the truth will shine no matter who or what tries to hide it. I pray for a better world. I pray for all Muslims worldwide. I pray for them to become better Muslims, better human beings. I pray for our religion to become better. May Allah have mercy on us all."

I must say that I really admire and salute their bravery, leaving their beloved family & loved ones, seeking the Path of Allah, The Almighty. The photo shots that were taken, really widened my eyes & I couldn't stop tears from flowing, to see the innocent Chechen Muslims (kids & adults) killed brutally by the coward Russians. To the Mujahideen brothers out there in Chechnya, May Allah bless you with a great state of Iman, Taqwa & Health for you to carry on with this Jihad.

"Congratulations on your victories. Be warned that a number of western nations are assisting the coward Russians by using their spy satellites to pin point your locations. But they do not realize that Allah will only allow them to see what he wants to. Alhamdulillah I am thrilled every day to read of your victories, and yet it I am also amazed at the highly polarized states of two kinds of Muslims. On one hand you have the Brave fearless Mujahideen Muslims from Chechnya and Afghanistan giving their lives and every thing they have under the banner of only Al-Islam, with the sole intention of promoting Islam and who beg and beseech only Allah. On the other hand we have "Muslim Leaders" of "Muslim Countries" who are begging and squirming like lowly frothing dogs for a bare recognition from Western Nations whom they have made their Gods, or for pathetic token visits by their scandalous leaders. When?....When will Muslims open their eyes to the stark cold truth that neither NATO, nor the UN nor the US nor the UK , and most certainly not the French, are at all interested in seeing a single stable Muslim country? Do they not remember that only a few centuries ago they were the conquerors of the world under Islam, but now, under nationalism and their love of this world and fear of death and they have lost everything, even their very dignity and self respect. They are made a spectacle of in movies and books, laughed at and derided. But I swear by Allah, death is sure to come early or late, and before Allah we must all appear to answer for our misdeeds and our lowly cowardly ways which benefited those who opposed Allah. After all Allah even provides for those who would see his servants slaughtered. May Allah be with you always.

You are all truly closer to Jannah than the blessed ones going for Hajj but may Allah accept your deeds and let the blood of the Shuhadaa make grow more Mujahideen. In this hope I prepare myself and sit every night reading your website and when I can let my 2 year old son see your pictures. He already recognizes Uncle Shamil and Uncle Khattab! May Allah make us and our children Mujahideen for truly your fight continues from now until the Day of Reckoning." [Brother AI, USA, 9 March 2000]
"With the Mujahideen having changed their tactics from a conventional to a more proactive guerilla warfare, the Russians are finding the Mujahideen too hot to handle. Thirteen Mujahids were able to destroy an entire Russian convoy shows that, when it comes to actual direct combat, numbers don't matter. Faith in Allah, rock solid determination and fighting skill separates the followers of Satan from the soldiers of Allah. Muslims the world over are with you and let us pray one day Muslims join together under a single flag to fight for the truth whether in Europe, Chechnya, Kashmir , Philippines or more recently in Nigeria. Ignorant Anti-Muslims never hesitate to label Muslims as terrorists out to create trouble but I challenge them to show one instance on the face of this earth where Muslims are fighting for a wrong cause."

The recent defeats of the Russian forces at the hands of the Mujahideen just goes to show that they are no match for Allah's warriors.

My wife and I have the satellite channels on almost all day to get some news of what is happening. We are always flicking from one channel to another just to find out what is happening to the Vodka swigging clowns of the Bolshoy ballet & circus (Russian army). It makes us laugh when after we had heard the truth from this web site to hear all the lies that RasPutin has been telling and it makes us laugh even more at how they (the West) are falling for it hook, line and sinker.

"My dear Mujahideen, I know that you people are fighting for Islam and witnessing the renaissance of Islamic rule in the world. My brave Muslim Mujahideen, you often inquire about the careless attitude of the Muslim rulers in your internet site, and it seems that there is no answer, but let me answer you as to why this is happening. If you think that we Muslims are independent and are free nations in different Islamic countries then this is not true, we are still ruled by the colonial remnants of the past, who are just mental slaves of the Western world. Also we Muslims are economically and scientifically still slaves of the West and dependent on their 'help'. Otherwise, if you want to know about common Muslims, then they are with you with their prayers and want you people to be victorious. May Allah give you the success in your efforts and glory of freedom and may Allah reward us Muslims with the real freedom and may Allah defeat the Russians and Western powers."

When will Muslims open their eyes to the stark cold truth that neither NATO, nor the UN nor the US, or UK or Clinton, and most certainly not the French, are at all interested in seeing a single stable Muslim country. The slaughter in Bosnia was only brought about because NATO urged by France and US placed an arms embargo on Bosnia, while allowing the pig Serbs an open season on Bosnian Muslims. It was only after many were slaughtered that they decided to lightly smack the hands of the Serb swines who got away with perfect outright murder. Boutris Ghali of the UN kept denying that the Muslims were being slaughtered, in spite of the stark carnage. To this day Western nations would still rather believe the Russian or Serb version of events.
Muslims of many countries would rather supplicate to Allah fervently for victory in some miserable cricket or football match with another country and spend their time focusing on getting fatter, than rally each other against the threat of the Anti-Islamic nations, which include certain 'Muslim' countries, and pray to Allah for our Brothers and Sisters in Chechnya. Like pitiful servants they await a nod of recognition or a few scraps off the tables of their Masters, the European Union or NATO.

"Any Muslim country worth its salt would have announced its boycott of the coming Sydney Olympics because Muslims must not participate in sports with countries that are engaged in killing and terrorising Muslims. Not one Muslim country has refused trade with Russia or ordered closure of Russian Embassy or recalled its Ambassador from Russia.

"Australian media continuously refers to Muslims as Islamic terrorists in its news headlines such as "Australian police ready to track and apprehend Islamic terrorists during the Sydney Olympics", or "Australian security forces on full alert, ready to deal with Islamic terrorist attacks during the Olympics" How insulting it is for us to be referred to as terrorists, but unfortunately all Muslims countries will send their teams to the Olympics. How low our countries have sunk. This is the disgusting state of our so called leaders. Our real leaders are the Mujahideen of Chechnya who have shown us the way and for them we pray, day and night. Insha Allah today Chechnya, tomorrow the World - all through the sacrifices of these brave and righteous Mujahideen, so the Muslims and the rest of the world can live in peace free from the tyranny of Man. May Allah, Almighty, grant Victory after Victory to our Mujahideen Brothers and Sisters during this powerful month of Dhul Hijah, and give the most humiliating and severe punishment to the Russians and the countries that support them in this genocidal war."

"I check this site every day for news of further Russian defeats and I would like to congratulate both the Mujahideen on their stunning successes against the better armed Russians and the operators of qoqaz.net for their brilliant reporting. As Field Commander Khattab says in his profile, wars must be fought by media these days. Putin is relying on his control of the media to stop the Russian people learning the truth of what is happening in Chechnya and it is up to reporters like qoqaz.net to inform the world of the truth. How can the Russians deny something if you guys have live video of it? As a journalism student I am impressed with the speed at which qoqaz.net is updated. The Mujahideen are fighting in some of the most unforgiving territory in the world but still the news comes through with astonishing speed. Even though you will probably think I am a Western spy I would love to come to Chechnya when the snows melt and report on the fighting. It seems Westerners will only believe something if told by another Westerner! Keep fighting, you are fighting the war of the just and the brave. Allah will ensure victory!" [Mr RC, Melbourne, Australia, 6 March 2000]
"Assalamu alaikum, I am a seventeen year old Italian who became Muslim three years ago. Here in Italy, we can't learn a lot about the Chechen war from the Italian news, therefore I am so happy to see the news on your site. I make du'a for you in all my prayers and I am near you with all my heart. The victory will come with the help of Allah." [Sister K, Italy, 5 March 2000]
"We pray to Allah (SWT) to make our brothers victorious in Chechnya and destroy the Barbaric Cowardly Invaders, the Russians, soon Insha Allah. And we sincere Muslims should leave aside all of our differences with each other and should Unite to cure our problems caused by the Kafeerun. We should be as a human body; when any part of our body becomes sick or wounded, all other parts should do their part to heal that wound. Today's Muslim Ummah is like a body without any nerves. We don't feel the pain of other Muslims until we suffer. But all Kafeerun help each other; even the longtime enemies help each other (Russia / US) to exterminate sincere Muslims. We should do the very same thing to be able to defeat our enemies and become one Muslim Ummah Insha Allah. Salaam to all Mujahideen brothers who struggle for their beliefs. And Salaam to all Shuhadaa who sold their lives back to Allah (SWT) for Jannah. Yaa Rabb! Help our Mujahideen brothers very soon to wipe out the Barbaric invaders from the Islamic Caucasus Region and destroy the infidel Russian Army." [Brother AS, USA, 6 March 2000]
"No matter how hard the infidels try to annihilate the Muslims worldwide, The Word of Allah will prevail on His glorious earth Insha Allah. With so much Islamic history in the Caucasus region, we know what they are planning to achieve,but the biggest planner is Allah. Your Jihad is the Muslims Jihad. Do not let the enemy disunite us by nationalizing us, because conflict with the West is inevitable as it is bound to defend it's global hegemony. Let you, O Mujahideen not be the prisoners of history but rather the shapers of history." [Brother MS, South Africa, 6 March 2000]
"I wake up in the middle of the night to perform salaatul tahajjut and my special request to Allah is that the Kuffars' army will use their sophisticated weapons to kill each other. Alhamdullilah, nothing pleased me more than when I read about how they kill each other in 'friendly fire'. O Mujahid brothers , my family and I will back you with our prayers. We will pray for more 'friendly fires' Insha Allah. To the brothers who give us this site, I can't thank you enough" [Sister N, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 6 March 2000]
"To all the brave Mujahideen of Islam, it is you by the Will of Allah who will bring this Religion back to its glory. And I would like to call upon all Muslims around the world to keep making du'a always and know that it is a very very powerful weapon. Even if we don't see the results from thousands of miles away, rest assured that by the grace of Allah, the Mujahideen are seeing and experiencing the results of many prayers. Also a call to all Muslim media news agencies and reporters; where is your voice? Why can't you get your stories and sources from this site instead of the untruthful Russian media? Or do you believe the Kuffar over the Mujahideen who are fighting for you and for all the Muslim Ummah." [Brother HN, Kansas City, USA, 6 March 2000]
"Now that the Chechens will bring true partisan guerrilla war to the Russians, the invaders will find that no amount of vacuum bombs or savage oppression of civilians can win them anything. Alhamdulillah, may they get beaten, just as they did in Afghanistan, just as the army of my country did in Vietnam, years ago. Like the Afghanis and the Vietnamese, the Chechens too deserve independence from foreign oppression, the right to live in their own way, under their own faith. After centuries of Russian oppression, may the bleeding and enslavement of the people and the land come to an end." [Brother JW, Arizona, USA, 7 March 2000]
"May the Lord bless all your endeavors and keep you strong. I personally come to this site frequently in any one day to read the news, see the photos, read the emails of support and spend some time with my brothers and sisters on the web. March 17th, 2000 will be a double special day for me as it marks the day I made my shahaada and the beginning of living in the light of Islam, and it was by way of this war, Jihad in Chechnya that I came to know the Lord and it was Chechens who chose my name. Long live Chechnya and may God keep us all on the straight path. Allahu Akbar!" [Sister M, British Columbia, Canada, 6 March 2000]
"O my dear brothers and sisters, Assalamu alaikum. What are we waiting for? Have we become the test pieces of the Kuffars' weapons, missiles, and tanks? When they make new weapons, are we the first nation that they test on? O Muslim Ummah, wake up. Enough is enough. O Muslims ! do you prefer Dunya (the present life) to the Akhira (hereafter) ? I will make du'a until the Mujahideen get victory. May Allah (SWT) show the light to all Muslims and make all one nation instead of division." [Brother AYI, UK, 6 March 2000]
"I say you are an example of how Muslims should be conducting themselves when they are attacked. I am saying that, not because there are no Muslims struggling against the enemy of Allah, but because you are the only nation that stood up and fought an enemy 300 times bigger than you are, in terms of man power. And when it comes to fire arms, it is even more astonishing .The Russians are supported by countries like USA and Europe financially, and there experts who work round the clock to finish off the nation so small, but with a heart LARGER THAN the whole world combined. " [Brother AMO, Nebraska, USA, 6 March 2000]
"Lions of Islam, fighting to raise the true religion of Allah, may you have success. Destroy the enemies of Allah who have dared to challenge Islam. Destroy the enemies of Allah who have killed Muslims. Destroy the enemies of Allah who have supported evil. You are the pillars of Islam. On your shoulder does Islam lie and with your courage it will spread. I pray in my every prayer that Allah grants you Success, brothers. I was shocked that the Russia, who is losing the war may use Weapons of Mass destruction because its existence is going to be finished. May Allah help you in such difficulties and provide you His divine help." [Brother MFA, Welland, Canada, 7 March 2000]
"First of all, I love my brothers in Islam. I have been here in America for past 12 years and I have to tell you, if it was up to fundamentalist Christians, they would wipe out Islam and Muslims. Fortunately, Islam has been growing in America and there are good hearted honest people here who do not support this war. Second, do not trust American Foreign Minister Madeline Albright, she is probably meeting Russia to exchange aerial photographs of Mujahideen positions or tactics, so be cautious. America wants this war to be over because it is making her look like a coward and she probably is assisting Russia to end this conflict fast. I am positive that CIA (Who's head recently called Muslims a threat against America) is providing eyes from the above. Trust Allah and fight hard and fight just. If I have a million lives, I will give every life for Allah and fight against Kufr." [Brother M, USA, 7 March 2000]
"I cannot stop being amazed at how stupid and stubborn the Russians are. They try to be masters of propaganda, but even that they cannot do well. They always report to the world that 'the war is over', that 'it is a matter of cleaning up Chechnya from the rebels' and so on and so forth. Amazingly enough, the war has been raging more fiercely than ever, with the cheap bodies of the dead Russian soldiers scattered all over Chechnya. Amazingly enough, the so called rebels are still demonstrating their courage and relentless resistance to the Russian mercenaries. Typically, the Russian government is quick to deny any type of losses on their part, and when they cannot hide it any longer they only report 1% or less of the real figures. When they cannot hide their continuous defeats and humiliation they start to use the Stalin-era propaganda system and report lies of all kinds. In spite of the fact that the West knows Russians probably more than Russians themselves, Western media still deals with the Russian sources as if they were credible sources. Fine, the truth will eventually find its way out, and the Whole World will Insha Allah see the brave Chechen Mujahideen attain a victory as their brothers did in Afghanistan. Hold on tight, for only Allah can bestow victory on whom he wants. May Allah's Victory be near!" [Brother AMA, Massachusetts, USA, 7 March 2000]
"You are the true heroes for the Muslims all over the world. Young children ask for the news from Chechnya, and ask to hear the stories of the Shuhadaa and to hear about the commanders in this war, again and again. The hit and run tactics, are the Russians worst fear. Most of them say they can't wait to get back home, you on the other hand look forward to attacking the Russians. Keep it up brothers, strike fear in their hearts, cause confusion among their ranks; panic-stricken, they'll run back. I pray that they shall never have a moments peace in their pitiful lives. "O Prophet (SAW)! Urge the believers to fight. If there are twenty steadfast persons amongst you, they will overcome two hundred, and if there be a hundred steadfast persons they will overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve, because they (the disbelievers) are people who do not understand." (8:65). I pray that Allah will cause you to crush their army. They say that they are better equipped than you and therefore will wipe you out 'soon', but Alhamdulillah, you are far better equipped than them. You have Taqwa, and Insha Allah, it is all you need to overcome them. They think that their problems will be solved if they wipe you out, Insha Allah, that will never be, as long as there is at least one person making du'a for you. As long as there is one Muslim alive on this earth, the fight will go on until there is one person striving to make Allah's word supreme. If Russia does not meet its end now, Insha Allah, there will be a new generation of Muslims who will rise up and take place of those before them. May Allah make you successful, and grant you victory. May He help you crush the Russians, and teach them a lesson so that they may never harm or oppress a Muslim ever again." [Brother QAM, USA, 6 March 2000]

"I'm a 14 year old supporter who is following up on each and every detail of your Jihad. I feel so angry at the so-called Muslim leaders who do practically nothing to help you. But, even if those puppet-leaders don't do anything for you, please remember that your REAL Muslim brothers and sisters are with you. No matter how advanced the Russians' technology is or how big their army is, nothing can match your courage and faith in Allah. I know I'm a small voice speaking out like this and there's not a lot in my power that I can do to help you. But,I just wanted you to know it is my wish that I will be fighting with you and Mujahideen everywhere and die as a Shaheed." [Sister SAA, ***, 5 March 2000]
"My dear Soldiers of Allah (SWT), I Thank Allah (SWT) for granting you the victory in the skirmish of Grozny. We in the US, saw the video broadcast by BBC. It was a blood warming scene. Watching the miracle of Allah (SWT) happening in front of our eyes was astonishing and a wake-up call for many Muslims in the world. The video was a slap from left and right on the face of Kafir Putin that he or his infidel army CANNOT and WILL NOT be able to fight with the Soldiers of Allah (SWT). The Kafir Putin challenged Allah (SWT) and now is the time he will see the wrath of Allah upon him and his Kafir army. May Allah (SWT) destroy the enemies of Islam and grant victory to Mujahideen like the one in Battle of Badr and the victory to Ummah like Fath Makkah." [Brother AP, USA, 5 March 2000]
"I live in shame seeing and hearing about you struggle every minute of your life for Allah's Deen while I come nowhere near to what you are doing. May Allah reward you highly and protect you immensely and strengthen you greatly. May Allah reward you, O managers of the Jihad sites, for your great efforts in helping the world and especially the Muslims see the truth of current age: The age of true darkness we are in. I wanted to ask my dear Muslim brothers and sisters all over Allah's earth, to add in their prayers that Allah (SWT) make each du'a we make against the Kuffar like a nuclear bomb in the hearts of the Kuffar and their silent supporters (i.e. most of the rest of the world). May Allah wake all the people up in this age and direct them to where the Light is. And may Allah (SWT) accept each du'a we make for our Mujahideen brothers, strengthen them and all the oppressed people on the earth. May these du'as of ours hasten the day when help arrives to all the oppressed people on the earth. Help from Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. And finally, may the people who bring this help to the oppressed be ourselves, the Muslimeen, so that we too are not deprived of Allah's rewards and His beautiful Paradises."

Insha Allah, by the grace of Almighty God, you will be victorious. Never run away but make the enemy flee.

"First, I want to thank you for showing the details of the world-solidarity day for Chechnya on 17 March. May Allah give you the best rewards. I also wish to congratulate the Mujahideen for their successful Grozny ambush! Does Putin think he can tell all these lies? He knows if the people in Russia hear the true number of losses, they will quick end his rule! So he just tries to hide the truth so that he can stay longer in his comfortable seat. The Grozny ambush was a slap on the Russian�s face! Only 13 mujahideen annihilate a whole Russian convoy! Allah-u-Akbar!!! I hope this was just one of many other similar operations as the Mujahideen have promised to Putin (as an election present!!). Insha Allah, this will be the start of something very big (as one brother emailed: the start of Chechnya being the centre of Jihad, Jihad-training and the centre of the Ummah!). I pray, to Allah, the rest of the Muslims all over the world will awaken soon and help our brothers and sisters in Chechnya as best as they can! Ameen!! I pray to Allah, trained Mujahideen will flow from all directions into Chechnya to kick- out the Russians from the Caucasus! Ameen!! Insha Allah we will hear more of these good news in future! Insha Allah we will hear very soon, Russians begging for peace with the Chechens! Insha Allah we will here very soon, that Russians have been beaten a second time and this time finally by the Brave Chechens! Insha Allah we will here very soon the recognition of the Chechen Islamic Republic by the rest of the world and the establishment of Shariah in all muslim countries as a first step! I pray each day to Allah for the Mujahideen. I�m crying every night, when I lie down to sleep, because I�m thinking about the Mujahideen in the cold mountains, the Chechen people arrested and tortured by the Russians, the helpless Chechen children left alone by the whole world, including the so-called Muslim countries. I pray to Allah to make the Muslims aware of their situation, to awaken them from their stupid life without sense!

To the Corrupt Muslim leaders: Do you fear the Kuffars' Nuclear Bombs , their high-tech weapons and their economic sanctions more than the wrath of Allah? Why do you turn a blind eye to the cruelty and suffering of our Ummah ? You are nothing but helpers of the Kuffar. To the Mujahideen in Chechnya: I pray that Allah increases you in strength and numbers and in the heat of the battle replace your tiredness with abundance of peace, calm and courage. May Allah destroy all of the Russian attempts to overcome you. May Allah make them shake with fear and run away at the sound of your weapons. Fight them and never stop fighting them until they leave the Muslim land of Chechnya.

Reading the news of killing 90 Russian army men in one attack on your website and also confirmed from the lying western media, makes Muslim all over the world become happy.

This type of attack will quickly make the vodka-donkey, enemy of God and the humanity, and the killer of innocent Chechen people, Putin, from hero to zero.

"Congratulations my brothers, for this wonderful victory...... only 13 mujahideen against a whole detachment of OMON troops. Well done indeed. This is nothing short of military genius! The tactics and fearlessness among the Mujahideen are sure signs that the Russians are fighting with the finest soldiers in the world. Insha Allah I will write a book on the Chechens and their glittering victories so the whole world may know the finest details about the entire account of the Mujahideen and at the same time expose the Russians as to how shamefully they lied. And to show the world the strength of the Mujahideen. Right now, Dubai is gearing up for the lucrative shopping festival.

I will, Insha Allah, go to Hajj this year, and will pray while on Mount Arafah for the Almighty to speed your Victory, and to send His Wrath on the 'Vodka-bred, Pork-fed, Mafia-led Russians'. I will ask Allah (SWT) to grant me the honour and privilege to join you. Please, don't give up. I know that asking you that from where I am is far-fetched, but I think that not only will you be granted the prize of the Mujahideen by Allah (SWT), but also that of waking the long hibernating Muslim pride. Please, brothers, join me in praying that today begins the Jihad in Chechnya, and later we'll make it to Jerusalem." [Brother AB, Beirut, Lebanon, 4 March 2000]
"Think about who the victors are. The Russians have received millions in aid from the West recently. Their debt has been cancelled, because the West, though they hate the Russians are too afraid of another cold war. The war in Chechnya has cost the Russians, literally a "bomb". Their daily expenses to fund the operations must run into millions every day. All the money they have received in aid has been squandered in this futile, ill conceived war of theirs. It is depleting them, soon the West will tire of giving them any more money. The Russians are losing face, will lose the war and will only be remembered for their merciless atrocities, raping, bribery, extortion, vodka swilling scum bags that they are...
...But the Mujahid, look at the blessings of Allah, Subhanallah (All Glory to Allah). They fight with minimum resources at their disposal. 3000 Mujahideen against a well equipped army of 100,000 soldiers. They hold them at bay for over two months, and then they escape right through the Russians. They occupy the mountain ranges and effect terrible losses on the Russians in both manpower and equipment. They change tactics from defensive to offensive. Summer is on its way, the Russian PR machine has been a shambles, no one believes them. Muslim enemies will believe only what they want to believe anyway, we all know how the west hates the Muslims. Do you know now who the victors are...??
...But the bigger victory is yet to come. Russia will be humiliated. Grozy and Chechnya will be the capital and headquarters for the training of Mujahideen internationally. Muslims from all over the world will pour into Chechnya, young men, young women professionals in all fields, they will group and prepare every Muslim mentally and physically. And all because of this present war. Allah knows best, to the Russians I say this, thank you, you lowest of the low animals, thank you for awakening the Muslim Ummah, thank you for uniting us, our thanks will soon descend upon you when we crush you."

I want to tell them that we Muslims in Denmark support them in their Jihad against the the enemy of Islam. We pray for you. May Allah (SWT) grant us victory against the non-believers. And for the Russians, they believe in vodka, and we believe in Allah. We'll see who's stronger! PS: Insha'Allah I'm on my way to Hajj, and I'll pray for the Mujahideen and the people of Chechnya. I'll recommend this to every Muslim who is on his way to Hajj do the same. Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!!" [ Brother SI, Denmark, 5 March 2000] "History. "When I was young they planted the seed of ignorance in my brain. They taught me with thick, heavy, crisp books and surreal pictures. I believed; facts not fiction. Or so I thought. Now I believe it was all lies. I heard about Hitler's grisly holocaust during World War II and gasped that people could be treated in such a way. But Hitler was not the only tyrant during World War II. While the world was saying 'Never again', I believe it was happening again. This was the history that was never taught. Stalin's Holocaust - Silent was the world: Silence, which spoke volumes. Yeltsin's holocaust- Silent was the world: Silence, which spoke volumes. Putin's holocaust- Silent is The World: Silence, again speaking volumes. One holocaust was never forgotten; another holocaust, never acknowledged, would continue to repeat itself. 1937-1944, 1994-1996, 1999-2000. Looking at those thick, heavy, crisp books that I had once worshipped, I feel shamed by my innocence.

O Chechen Mujahideen brothers. How proud we are of you. You ALONE are fighting one of the mightiest powers of the world supported by the West and the East, yet not a single one of the so-called Muslim countries even raises the slightest protest against the aggression of Russia against you. You indeed have restored meaning to the verse in the Qur'an saying "...Those who if men said to them: 'A great army is gathering against you, so fear them', their faith will even increase and they will say: 'For us God suffices, and He is the Best whom we put our trust with.'"

Indeed, the Prophet (SAW) said: "The people will soon summon one another to attack you, as people when eating invite others to share their dish!" Someone asked: "Will that be because of our small numbers at that time?" He replied: "No, you will be numerous at that time but you will be like the scum carried down by a torrent, and Allah will take the fear from the breasts of your enemy and enter 'Wahn' into your hearts."

"Assalamu alaikum to the Lion's of Allah and their helpers at qoqaz.net. May Allah continue his blessings upon you all. I was just thinking about how there are 1.5 billion Muslims in the world and yet we are such a sad lot. If we say that 50% of us are females, that leaves about 750 million male Muslims. If we say that 50% of the males are children and elderly, that leaves about 375 million shabaab (young men). If only ONE out of every 100 men was devoted to Jihad, we would have a standing army of about 3,750,000 Mujahideen. Compare that to the less than about 100,000 we have now, world wide!

If you are ready to die for your belief, then you are ready to do everything needed for your belief ! The pronunciation of the world- solidarity day with Chechnya is a very excellent act. I congratulate you for the proclamation of this day. I have read today on German teletext the Russians suffered 20 losses and 30 injured in a so called elite-unit by a heavy grenade-attack near Grozny which was made by the Mujahideen. Allahu-Akbar! They will pronounce more losses Insha Allah in future!! The "mothers of Russian soldiers" declared 3500 dead and 6500 injured till now! Two different Islamic Organizations here in this region declared to send the meat of next Eid to Chechnya! Insha Allah this help will get to those who really need it " [Brother MAY, Salzgitter, Germany, 4 March 2000]
"Dear brothers, I am a brother from a small island near Madagascar called Mauritius. I want to encourage all of you who are giving away their lives for true justice. The whole world is aware of the Russians� human rights records. The United States only apply justice when it suits their interests. Put your faith in the justice of Allah. I have been following the events in Chechnya for quite a long time. What the Mujahideen have done and demonstrated is beyond our understanding. No government of Muslim states have done or can do what they did. They have awakened in the Ummah the spirit of Jihad, which had completely vanished from the hearts of the Muslims. If today the Chechen Mujahideen wants to mobilize an army of 1 million soldiers around the world they can do so within hours. Many Muslims are waiting for this call. Chechnya is only the headquarters for this army. There are people who are prepared to spend their own money and their lives for the sake of Islam. We must thank Allah for using the Russians to awaken us from our sleep. No army in the world can beat the Mujahideen because they do not fight for money or lands. They are not afraid to die. They are fighting for the liberation of mankind from the injustice of governments and to bring them under the justice of Allah Subhana wa Taala. Please do not forget that the prisoners should also be taught Islam. The Russians are acting like animals because they have been deprived of the bounty of Islam. O brothers do not despair even for one second of the Rahmat (mercy) of your Lord. Your victory is assured." [Brother M, Mauritius, 4 March 2000]
"Alhamdulillah, may Allah increase the faith and power of Mujahideen. I have seen yesterday that 96 Russians killed and many captured live and large ammunitions as well. Still the Russians want to fool the world with false propaganda, with no proof behind it. I tell the Russians that thousands of Muslims are on their way to join with their brothers in Chechnya. I tell the enemies of Islam, you are just leading the world to 'War'." [Brother SA, Canada, 3 March 2000]
"Words cannot describe the hurt and anger we Muslims feel at the pictures of our Mujahideen brothers tied to the backs of trucks , dragged across town and dumped in mass graves. Words cannot describe the pain we Muslims feel at the news of our sisters being repeatedly raped, beaten and tortured. But, the pain of all pain, the anger of all anger, is the unbelievable silence of the "Islamic" nations. And yet, we capture their soldiers and treat them humanely. We do not molest their soldiers, we do not abuse their soldiers, we do not harm their soldiers. We feed them, we clothe them, we even give them food at the expense of us going hungry. O Allah, you are witness to all this. O Allah, hasten victory for our Mujahideen brothers. O Allah, remove the evil that has descended on our sisters in Chechnya. O Allah, never again let the Islamic world stay silent. O Allah, never again let the Islamic world watch our sisters get raped." [Brother AZ, London, UK, 3 March 2000]
"All praises are due to Allah (SWT), the Lord of the Mujahideen and the Shuhadah and peace and blessings be upon the Prophet Muhammed (SAW), the greatest Mujahid! I heard of your latest success over our enemy. May Allah (SWT) give you strength to continue this beautiful cause. Whenever I hear of your success I cry "Allahu-akbar, Allahu-akbar". I am filled with happiness because I know that on this day some of my Mujahideen brothers were killed fi Sabeelillah, and that they are now with their LORD, rejoicing and full of contentment. They are sitting amongst Righteous company in the highest stations of Jannah. Subhana'Allah, how much I yearn to be them! But I also feel pain because of the destruction and the devastation the Russian dogs caused. I realise that it can be saddening for you all to see your surroundings in ruins, covered with the dirty, filthy paw prints of the Russian dogs. But remember, and I leave you with this, Allah (SWT) says in the Quran: 'And don't be weak in the pursuit of the enemy; if you are suffering (hardships) then surely (too) they are suffering (hardships) as you are suffering, but you have a hope from Allah (for the Reward i.e. Jannah), that for which they hope not; and Allah is Ever All- Knowing, All-Wise.' (Surah 4: Ayah 104)" [Sister MA, UK, 3 March 2000]
"My dear brothers, glad tidings to you, because you have been supported by Allah (SWT) and the entire muslim nation, except those in whose heart there is a disease for Jihad. This blessed word is now called 'Terrorism'. What a joke. Even some Muslims are joining the bandwagon. But what we know about such people is that they are like the kuffars and nothings better is expected of them anyway. The disbelievers are planning to destroy Islam but Allah is the best of planners. I remember you brothers all the time and hope for your victory from Allah (SWT). Dear brothers, do not give up hope in Allah (SWT) and hold fast to the Book and Sunnah and the way of the Salaf (pious predecessors)." [Brother EH, USA, 3 March 2000] "To the Glorious Mujahideen, you are the marvels of Islam, your resolute skill and cunning is a harbinger of things to come to this world, by Allah's decree. Allah the Most High has made you kings and princes, who tread on the grounds of ordinary men. Your military exploits and trials, have made the entire community of true believers, beholden to you as a result of your sheer bravery and dutiful self sacrifice. I, my honorable ones, am beholden to you. Masha Allah. Your efforts are being exalted daily, O brave ones, in the face of all the outlandish lies and deceptions by the hands of the lowly and unworthy Russian swine, and his ungrateful and deceitful Jew companion. Your efforts are and will continue to be exalted, for our Most High, Allah, is the best of planners. Stay warm, rested and be patient my brothers, for the planet, will be ours, by Allah's command." [Mr. DH and Brother AA, USA, 2 March 2000]
"May Allah give my sick and injured brothers speedy recovery. We in the US continue our prayers and supplications to Allah to protect you and grant you victory. However many "Muslim" individuals and "Muslim" leaders continue their sweet sleep and intentionally ignore the tremendous sacrifices you are making. Lured by the seductions of wealth and a soft life, they are dreaming of a "Secular" state where Islam is nonexistent, and they are free to live like the devils you fight so bravely. But have they not seen the remains of these devils and their States? This life is just a temporary stage. The permanent life is that after death and it is coming for sure. Your sacrifices, O brave Chechen Mujahideen and the brave Chechen Shuhadaa` (martyrs) will ensure you eternal Heaven while the rest of the "Secularist fun-loving Muslims" will see that all their power and wealth was for naught and they will feed the fires of Hell forever, only to be brought back to life again and become fodder for the roaring fires all over again. All these "scared and shivering" leaders of Muslim states who perpetuate the misery of innocent brothers and sisters who are being maimed, raped and murdered everyday by the coward Russian swines, do not realize that they soon will leave the world naturally or unnaturally and when they face Allah do they feel that Allah will forgive them ?" [Brother TN, USA, 2 March 2000]
"Here's a little poem for my brothers :
Don't give up your righteous fight, For the Russian Army with all its might, Cannot imagine the wonderful sight, The Mujahid witnesses each dark night...
Rockets, bombs, fire and steel, Sleepless nights, no decent meal, You have chosen the best deal, To die here, to answer Chechnya's appeal...
Land and cities the pork eaters may invade, But the light of Islam will never fade, In Grozny, Shatoi, the Jihad they made, Like Lions, like heroes, the Kuffar troops they raid..." [Brother AB, Beirut, Lebanon, 2 March 2000]
"I thank the brothers and sisters working at Azzam Publications for such a great effort, may Allah reward all of you. The message I send the Ummah in the US and UK is that you must bombard the government with phone calls in protest of what is actually happening in Chechnya. They do not care much but still our voices must be heard, our letters must be sent. It is incumbent upon us to make our voices heard all the time. Do not let the devil keep you from the phone. If your belief in Allah is strong, you will make the call, send the letter, make flyers, do whatever you can to show your disapproval of aggression and oppression. Let them know Muslims exist and care about this issue at heart. To my brothers and sisters in Chechnya, this war will not end until the Banner of Islam has been raised. Insha Allah, each of us will do whatever is possible." [Brother MS, Iowa, USA, 2 March 2000]

"Allahu Akbar!!!!!! Comrades, a job well done. Congratulations. Russian admitted that 27 persons of their crack vodka troops were slaughtered by the Mujahideen. Let us teach the satanic Russians a very bitter lesson. Let Chechnya be their transit point to hell. I really hope to hear more news of this kind. To the fighters: you are always in my pray." [Brother A, Malaysia, 4 March 2000]
"Unfortunately, today I may not have any power in my hands except making dua for all of you, but Insha Allah (if Allah wills) and He gives me the power, one day I will certainly be able to do more beside keep making du'a for all of you. I know that I could be in your place and go through what you are going through now, but for some reason (known only to Allah) it is not my turn yet . I also know that you are getting more reward than me in keeping the Faith in Allah and patience in what you're being tested with. Therefore, I really envy you. Insha Allah, you all will get an unending reward from Allah for your patience and Faith in him and on what he is testing you with." [Sister SA, MA, USA, 3 March 2000]
"Thank you very much for your great work on this web page and for giving us the latest news on our brothers. On TV, I don't think every thing they say is true, and I don't trust every thing they say! I wish I was with these great warriors who will Insha Allah crush these stupid enemies." [Brother MQ, USA, 3 March 2000]
"Good luck to all of you involved in this terrible war for independence. Don't worry, we here in the west can see right through the propaganda that the Russians try to disseminate about this war. The Russian war machine has absolutely no right to rape and pillage as they have done in your Country. May you eventually gain the freedom and independence that your shattered country so rightly deserves." [Jeff, USA, 3 March 2000]
"Assalaamu Alaikum, I just wanted to write and say how amazed and shocked I was at seeing your web site and your answers to the questions. I just want to say I have total respect for all of you Mujahideen and Insha Allah, He will give you victory in your war. The reason why I am writing is because I don't know what I can do and it is driving me mad that here I am, doing nothing for the sake of Allah. So I thought writing this letter will show you that I respect you and this is more for me than for anyone else, because I feel unable to share my views about this with anyone else. Thank you."

"My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Jazakum Allahu Khairan from the bottom of our hearts for the gift of this web site. May Allah reward you for the time and effort you have dedicated for this site. I was reading one of the emails on your site, and the brother who sent the email had made a dua' that Allah may strike fear in the hearts of the Russians. This reminded me of an audio tape I had, about the Jihad in Afghanistan. The narrator was a Mujahid during the Afghani war. This brother said that a Russian General had been interviewed about the Afghani war and about the Mujahideen. The pig General said that the thing the Russian soldiers were most terrified of was hearing Allahu Akbar. He said when the Russians heard this, they were inflicted with such fear that they urinated on themselves before fleeing. May Allah strike this type of fear in the hearts of the Russian army. Ameen." [Sister DF, VA, USA, 3 March 2000]
"It is indeed a shame what the news media are doing to the minds of millions of people around the world. People are now actually believing that the conflict might be drawing to a close. But they're mistaken and will soon find out that Russian casualties are on the rise and show no signs of abating. And it is through Azzam Publications that the people will find out what exactly is happening. It is indeed shocking to see some of the firepower that the Russians are using against the Mujahideen and how much hate the Russians have for the Chechen people. The world is standing by while an erstwhile superpower is trying to squeeze the life out of a tiny nation. The Russians are bullies, but we will not give up and we will devote our energies so that the Russians are defeated one day, Insha Allah!! An appeal to the readers of www.qoqaz.net, please try to make the world take notice of THE WORLD CHECHNYA SOLIDARITY DAY, march 17." [Brother SR, New Delhi, India, 3 March 2000]
"Let it be known, I was raised from death when I heard about your Jihad (May Allah make each bullet you fire like a Rocket and send fear to those infidels around the globe and in Russia in particular). Hell to Russia. The true Iraqi people are sending their prayers and love and support to you! May Allah protect you. Let the wrath of Allah rain on the Russians with no mercy to them at all. Go my brothers, with Allah's help victory shall be yours no matter what. You are winning every step of the way. Just remember the Battle of Badr!!!!!!!!!! You have raised our heads high in the past and in the present. You are closer to our hearts more than ever. Go my brothers go, and be steadfast like solid rock. May all of your enemies die with shame!" [Brother HTR, Iraq, 3 March 2000]
"Dear brothers, Please make dua for me so that Allah will make it easy for me to perform Jihad. I long to be with you. I long to fight alongside chosen believers like you. Please make dua for me so that Allah increases me in Iman, strength, patience and courage to endure hardship like you. Truly, while you are at the front line, other believers are in waiting behind you. Never will true believers forsake their brethren." [Brother FK, Malaysia, 2 March 2000]

I pray that you brothers are able to continue your website and accurate information on the war. This is so difficult to obtain due to the war on the other front that is waged by CNN and Sky News. The dua of the brothers and sisters in the UK, and I am sure I speak for them all, are with you my brave brothers. Your sacrifices in Allah's way Insha Allah are an inspiration for the Ummah.

We will suffer hunger, pain and we will miss our families but in the end, with the Grace Of Allah (SWT) we shall once more rule this world with Allah's Name being implemented all over. And our dear mothers, sisters and children will again be able to live a life of happiness- InshaAllah" [Brother MS, USA, 29 Feb 2000] "Why was I born Muslim?

Why was I born Muslim? Our countries are in sanctions, The oppressors go unchecked.
Why was I born Muslim? I was born Muslim to overcome criticism, I was born Muslim to "enjoy" my sufferings.

"When I look at the faces of the Russian captives, I wander what is going through their minds. Look at how they are treated like human beings, when at the same time the Russians are killing and raping Chechen women. I would imagine how suprised they are, because as far as they are concerned, these Muslims are terrorists. But little do they know that Mujahideen act according to the Quran and the Sunnah while the Russians act according to Putin and his generals. Dear Brothers, show these people what Islam is all about and give them Da'wah. Maybe Allah will guide some of them as he did in the past and victory is only from Allah."

"Since I did not get any news from Azzam publication for the last couple of days, I was desperate and worried about my Mujahideen brothers in Chechnya. But after reading today's news, the first thought that came in my mind was this: 'Alhamdulillah my prayers were accepted by Allah (SWT). May Allah (SWT) accept the Shahaadah of the Martyrs, Ameen. May Allah (SWT) hasten the recovery of the wounded brothers. May Allah (SWT) save the Mujahideen from making unintentional mistakes and may Allah (SWT) keep up the unity and Brotherhood among His Soldiers.'

Masha Allah, during the Russian war in Afghanistan against the Mujahideen, they never succeeded, and they're definitely not going to succeed in Chechnya. When the Russians were too afraid to fight the Mujahideen soldiers of Allah, then they started to kill innocent men, women, kids and even animals. Now that's what they're doing in Chechnya. My Mujahideen brothers prepare a special gift for President Putin on his election day.

In that time I recite the Holy Quran and I ask Allah to remove all the calamities and obstacles from the way and grant the Mujahideen success, and amongst the most important dua, include me in the group of the Mujahideen.

Those who left the homes in which they were reared as chickens and stood up for the Deen of Allah.

The Russians are claiming victory and claim that Shatoi has been flushed of Mujahids, (Do the Russians know that thousands of new Mujahideen from all over the world will soon swell the ranks of those already fighting). Praise be to Allah, our brave Mujahideen have yet again proved elusive and diligent soldiers. Know in your hearts that these brave soldiers of Allah are not easily repulsed or beaten, how can they be when they fight for truth and what is good. Evil will never triumph. Never lose faith. The Russians are exasperated, bewildered and desperate. Their headache is set to get worse, for them to think of subduing and obliterating a nation has indeed been a folly. Russians will soon realise that they are not fighting Chechens, they are fighting one billion awakened Muslims, and this time, Muslim memories will not be short. Muslims all over the world are sickened by this thoughtless and evil Russian regime. Chechnya has brought the Muslim brotherhood closer and more united than ever before. The Russians will soon reckon with the Muslims. They will wish they had never heard of Chechnya. I say to the Russian people, Russian soldiers and conscripts, know what is good for you, embrace Islam now and seek forgiveness for your sins. Allah, alone, knows best and may he give you Eeman (ie.

No other word can describe what these inhuman beasts are doing to defenseless women and children. They are Cowards because of all the atrocities. Only heartless, inhuman beasts devoid of all morals and decency in their lust for destruction and mayhem could cause all this human suffering. May the God of the heavens hear your prayers, O Chechen Brothers, and bring justice to you and may he give you the victory because evil will ultimately be defeated. Just as you defeated the Russian monster despite the negative odds, God must aid you in your hour of need. I am a Mexican man of American Indian heritage and we too in our past history were subjected to the evil of ethnic cleansing and genocide just like you are experiencing now. We had no one to aid us. Just like you. The world turned a blind eye. We must not allow this to happen again wherever there is unjust human suffering...... Unfortunately I am unable to go due to economic and health reasons. But I will help you by making people aware of your plight. To all the cowardly Muslim leaders. Stand up like men! Don't you see that you may be next if you do not aid your Muslim brothers!

Alhamdulillah, because of your website I am awake to the reality, the importance of Jihad to raise the Flag of Islam in this world for the sake of Allah alone. We in Southern Philippines decades ago suffered the atrocities of the Kuffar armies. That time, majority of us did not know the importance of Jihad so there were few who joined the Mujahideen that time. Because of your website my heart yearns to be a Mujahid and die for it. I could hardly hold my tears to roll down on my face everytime I read your website.

"Now I am determined... Everyday I would lay awake and imagine that I was brave enough to go to battle; stand on the front lines, but fear would set in, and then I would remember that I was just a woman. Relieved I knew I was saved, my life was spared each time I heard of the heroes; martyrs who sacrificed themselves for their religious identity, it brought me to tears I felt sadness, admiration at the same time. I felt like a coward at the way I hid behind my weaknesses yesterday, I had a voice, but I was silent. I had a brain, but I was ignorant, my eyes were closed. I walked around oblivious to what was happening around me it was so convenient. The truth depressed me today, I heard the call, I felt the strength inside myself. I lived the pictures, I envisioned the cries, death told a story. I listened, it made me angry, I wanted to take action today. I did not stand paralysed by fear, instead I uncovered my blindfold. I looked beyond my backyard into yours today. I did not stand silent I spoke for the oppressed, loud and clear God gave me a voice and I used it. Today I told a history that was once ignored, deleted out of the books. I told of a past that has become the present. I spoke with such strength, it surprised even me today. I said I had enough, that we have had enough and I really meant it. Today I acknowledged to myself and to the world that though I may have been unsure yesterday, now I am determined" [Sister HA, Canada, Feb 29 2000]

The past few months have been quite refining for my soul and I feel that even though I was not a part of this Jihad physically, it has indeed left a profound affect over my soul. I feel more spiritually refined by Allah's grace and see things in life, I used to be too blind to see otherwise. I am sure that this site has opened the eyes of many Muslims all over the world by Allah's will. At least the revolution has started within our hearts and minds which have been so corrupted by the pleasures of this Dunya. When I see the brother at the front page of your site, I go crazy. I cry and feel jealous and happy at the same time for what they have achieved with Allah (Inshallah). This is something I haven't even prepared for. They have taken the lead!! Looking at their smiling and peaceful faces have given me hopes and confidence to leave everything behind in order to please my Lord. I have never seen such peaceful and happy faces of those who knew that they were going to die soon. I never knew that I could fall in love with my brothers so much without even knowing them from before. If this is how one is supposed to feel, then may Allah (SWT) grant His favors upon me..Ameen!" [Brother SAA, Maryland, USA, Feb 29 2000]
"Never in history has people fought with such bravery as the Chechens. It is the Faith in Allah (SWT) that has let them stand to a enemy that is one thousand times stronger. The Russians should be ashamed of themselves. I also hail their move to leave Grozny and now Shatoi when it is not feasible to defend it. Otherwise it is suicide. It is practically a defeat for the Russians. Keep up the good work. May Allah reward you with it" [Brother SKA, USA, Feb 29 2000]
"Assalam 'alaikum, Great Fighters of Almighty Allah (SWT), recently I joined a "gym" to prepare myself to take part in Jihad. However I got into an accident and I got admitted to hospital. When the doctor was treating me, I was in a great deal of pain but when I thought of the Mujahideen and thought of how they are struggling, how they are fighting only for the sake of Allah (SWT). How they are sleeping in freezing weather, then I stopped screaming. BELIEVE ME I DID NOT FEEL THE PAIN AT ALL..... ALLAHU AKBAR." [Brother MK, LA, USA, Feb 29 2000]
"As a brother of an Afghan-Shaheed, I feel sorrow and pain whenever I see how the cruel and the evil army of Russia are bombing our Muslim brothers and children, and how the Muslim world are helpless and silent and how the Western Governments are conniving, congratulating Russia about their aggression and cruelty" [Brother AK, Cardiff, UK, Feb 29 2000]

He Granted me Sleep.
But then I awoke and the tears within never did stop." [Sister SN, UK, 28 Feb 2000]
"Only Allah knows here in Munich, Germany in every Salat, especially in Jumuaa, our Prayers are with you out there. Our daily discussions are about you. Allahu Akbar, you are the pride of Islam nowadays. You are awakening The Muslim Umma, Alhamdulillah (All Praise be to Allah)." [Brother MM, Munich, Germany, 29 Feb 2000]
"Today at present I am bombarded with information that Muslims are all terrorists, from the media. I am seeing through the lying eyes of CNN how 'Russians' are 'successfully' taking over Grozny. But I know through the true eyes of you, qoqaz.com, that my Muslim brothers are succeeding with Allah's help. May Allah reward you www.qoqaz.com, I am proud of being a Muslim and will always be a Muslim. I make dua for my brothers in Chechnya and the rest of the Muslims across the world for Allah's help against this manipulative western system. And I make dua for you www.qoqaz.com for revealing the truth of what really is happening in Chechnya. I know that Insha Allah we, Muslims, will succeed and we should never give up even until the last Muslim remains on this earth." [Brother S, UK, 29 Feb 2000]
"Wherever we look Muslims are being killed - the Hindu's are killing them in Kashmir - the Buddhists are killing them in Burma - the Jews are killing them in Palestine - the Christians are killing them in Russia - and we are too busy making money that we are going to leave behind. It's funny how if someone on the street swears at our mothers or sisters we end up beating them up so badly, but when our mothers and sisters are being raped we keep quiet. Do those mothers and sisters who are related to us by Islam have no value? Or is it that we are cowards and we love this life too much to even make dua for them ? Its better for us to live one day like a lion than the rest of our lives like lambs waiting to be slaughtered." [Brother KM, London, UK, 28 Feb 2000]
"I want you to know that as a Palestinian I sympathize with my fellow Muslims living and fighting in Chechnya. I make dua every day to the glorious men fighting under the banner of Allah. I am extremely disappointed that the Islamic world has not done anything to support their fellow Muslims in the field. I know that their army is poorly led and trained and it is only a matter of time until we find their jugular vein." [Brother RH, Texas, USA, 28 Feb 2000]
"My heart goes out to you brothers who are sincere in your cause to publish the truth about this Jihad in Chechnya. I constantly remember my fellow brothers who are fighting this battle against the enemies of Allah. Reading your coverage, I became closer to Islam and feel more love and feel more hatred for the Kuffar and their schemes." [Brother NK, Coventry, UK, 29 Feb 2000]
"I am sure that Allah (SWT) will give you the strength and the ability to flatten and destroy the Russian kuffar even though you are small in number, just as Allah (SWT) allowed the Companions [RA] to destroy the kufaar even though they were few in number." [Brother SN, Luton, UK, 29 Feb 2000]
"The Ultimate Victory has to come from Allah, the Maker and Destroyer of all things in the World. It is you brothers who are keeping Islam alive among all these dead Muslim Governments, impotent Muslim think tanks, and money and power driven Muslim Organisations. The Freedom Fighters for Chechnya, those who stand united against the dirtiest enemy in the world are the real representatives of this Fastest Growing Religion. You may be denounced or taken hostage by the so called peaceful representatives of Islam, but remember brothers, Allah will teach the idle Muslim World that all the most respected and worthy Mujahideen are in the Heaven, History, and near to the Our most beloved Prophet of Islam , Muhammed (PBUH)." [Brother AA, Doha, Qatar, 29 Feb 2000]
"I am a mother of a four month old, and Mujahideen like Khattab and the rest of the brothers inspire me to send my son off to Jihad, especially after reading about a fourteen year old mujahid. Here is a poem:
"O worshippers of the two holy mosques, if you only could see us, you would know that you are merely playing in your worship, Whoever is dyeing his neck with tears out of fear of Allah, Should know that our throats are being dyed with our blood, Or he who tires his horse in falsehood, Should realise that our horses are fatigued on the day of adversity, The scent of perfume is for you, but for us is our perfume, Which is the dust of our horses' hooves and the more pleasant dust. From our Prophet came a statement, That is true and cannot be denied. The dust from a horse in the path of Allah that enters The nose of it's rider, cannot come together with the smoke of the Blazing (hell) fire. This is the Book of Allah which speaks the truth before us, THE MARTYR IS NOT DEAD, AND THIS CANNOT BE DENIED" [Sister EK, Australia, 29 Feb 2000]
"I would like to express my undying support for the Chechen Mujahideen fighting the Russian aggressors. Our present history has proven that the Ummah cannot rely on our leaders at times of need. To all my brothers and sisters : We have to take the initiative. Even though we are miles away from the mountains of Chechnya we can be there in spirit by making supplications to Allah and supporting them with humanitarian aid. I urge all true Muslims to support any welfare initiative directed towards the Jihad in Chechnya." [Brother S, Cape Town, South Africa, 29 Feb 2000]
"I am a Muslim brother from Somalia. Every moment that I view this authentic page I really cry and cry. One reason that makes me cry is my Muslim brothers and sisters, in Beloved Chechnya, who are dying countlessly every day and not one single so called Muslim trash countries are talking about it or even concerned with it. Another reason is that their is not one country or Muslim organisation that organizes a rally or demonstration against the Cancer Russians who are committing inhuman acts which are even against so-called International Law and human rights."

"Assalaamu Aleykoum. It is strange that at this time when the fresh and hot blood of our beloved Mujahideen brothers is flowing, some of our own brethren are still in the deep sleep. On reading the printouts from your Website (posted on a mosque's wall) about joining Jihad in Chechnya, one brother remarked that it is stupid since if he goes fighting and when the war will be over he will be told to to leave Chechnya. In other words he will not be granted a Chechen citizenship. From his talking I realized that he is not a fighter since he is thinking of something like a Greencard. The poor man! If he is thinking of some material benefit in this affair he is better off at home where he can stay forever among the women, the old, and the children. It is time that we remind ourselves, the fighters at home, that some of the Mujahideen who are in active combat at this very moment in Chechnya were also there in the previous Jihads (Afghanistan, Bosnia, etc.). We did not have opportunity for the previous privileges but now....To the fighters at home: Allah the Greatest is giving us a chance in our very lifetime to attain martyrdom if He wishes or victory if He wishes." [Brother SS, USA, 28 April 2000]
"Assalamu alaykum Mujahideen, I'm very proud of you. You are the true defenders of Islam. Alhamdulillah for having you amongst us. I can't wait till I join your ranks my brothers, that would be the best day of my life. Insha Allah, I will see you soon." [Brother A, Alaska, USA, 24 April 2000]
"Assalamu alaikum. I would like to say dear brothers and sisters in Islam that we are praying for you and continue what you are doing Insha Allah, may Allah be with you and help you. All of us would give anything to be there with you as your position is so close to Allah (SWT). May you receive great rewards from Allah (SWT) Insha Allah. We all pray for you and love you for the sake of Allah." [Sister HH, USA, 28 April 2000] "Whenever I sit down here in the University's computer lab, I feel eyes behind me trying to find out what it is that I am reading so intently and copying (I email extracts of the news to various other Muslims). Rather than try to minimize the window or block the screen with my face, I scroll down to a headline like 'Mujahideen Crush OMON troops' or 'Russian Offensive Falters Before It starts'... My Brothers the Mujahideen, after the horror of Bosnia and Kosova, the world thought that the Muslims will be wiped off the face of the earth - but because of your strength of Faith ...we Muslims around the World can hold our heads high once more and look forward to a bright future."

I'm a Somalian in Sweden, I'm 16 years old Alhamdulillah and I just wanted to say maybe there are not many teenagers who care about Islam and Jihad but there are some; here is one for example!!!! And I pray for you all the time that you will win Insha Allah!!! You can only get 2 things 1: that you win 2: you will be Shaheed!!! and they both are good!!! May Allah protect you and may you win and I will pray for you until you win Insha Allah!!!" [Sister FQ, Sweden, 27 April 2000]
"Praise be to Allah (SWT) for granting you with many victories over the aggressors. I pray to Allah for my brothers in Chechnya, Kashmir, Palestine, Kosovo and the rest of the world who are suffering under Kuffar's oppression. PLEASE don't be disheartened by the behavior of Muslim leaders who have kept their mouth shut. Insha Allah they will be questioned on Yawm Al Qiyamah about what they did to help the oppressed Muslims. As for the 23 armored vehicles that you destroyed the other day, remember that there are 1000's more to go, but with Allah's help it will be done Insha Allah. Please pray for me because Allah will accept a pious persons du'a (if he wishes). We (The rest of the Muslim Ummah) believe that it wouldn't be long before Russians are kicked out of Grozny again like 1996." [Brother AT, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, 27 April 2000]

"I promise to all of you that the blood of Masood Al-Benin and other Shuhadaa will not go in vain whether it be in Chechnya, Kashmir, Philisteen, Philippines, or anywhere. I call upon all Indian Muslims, come out of the Kafir regime and make Jihaad for the sake of Allah. I know how hard it is getting day by day in India to even speak in favor of Mujahideen. O Indian Muslims, do you know that you are the second largest Muslim population and largest minority in the whole world. Now is the time to perform the haq' which your brothers in Islam have over you. The world has forgotten your Might, your Power, your Bravery. Show them (the Kuffar) that you are still there and lead the way for the Muslims. Allah is our protector, He and only He can save us. Join the Jihaad and I will meet you there."

We are all impatiently waiting for the interview with Commander Khattab, the modern symbol of the Mujahid. May the Almighty Allah speed your victory, and bring destruction, pain, agony, and suffering to all who wish to bring you harm... Patience, and Insha Allah victory will be ours."

"When I read of the destruction of the Russian devils by Allah through the hands of my brave Muslim Mujahids in Chechnya I could only go on praising Allah and yet still could not help but wonder why the hypocrites (Munafiqs) leading Muslims in the various countries still do not see the warning that Allah is giving them. It warms the heart to read of the pure bravery and valour of the brave Muslim Chechen at war and other Muslim brothers fighting alongside them against such overwhelming odds. Yet the heart grows cold as ice when one reads of news such as that which appeared in today's BBC report on Turkish men competing to become belly dancers. Is it not embarrassing enough that the Munafiq leaders of Turkey, indeed these devils in disguise have reduced Turkey to a servile nation of beggar, responding to every beck and call of any Western country and even bowing before India, a Godless nation of idol worshippers, that they must now inflict further humiliation on their people in promoting these shameless acts? On the other hand you see news on Chechnya and the lion-like Muslim brothers fighting to establish Allah's of Al-Islam law in the land. We Muslims absolutely must learn now from what is happening before our eyes in Chechnya, before its too late and we all die like filthy Munafiqs. We must learn from our fearless Shaheed and Mujahid Chechen brothers and those other Muslim brothers who fight alongside them as Ghazis or Shaheeds, that we can only rely on Allah for help and guidance and not NATO, UN, Clinton, Blair or Putin. We must wake up and take back the leadership from the devils who lead us, or all will be lost. Muslims do not let your children fall as have so many self deprecating Muslims, or nothing will match the regret you will experience on the Day of Judgment, but then it will be all too late and before Allah you must then appear. My Prayers and thoughts with you always my dear brothers. Masalaam." [Brother TN, NY, USA, 26 April 2000]
"Assalamu alaikum, I visit qoqaz.net very frequently and find it a great source to boost my Imaan. It brings tears to my eyes to hear about the stories of Mujahids who struggle in the path of Allah. This is an excellent site, well done to the brothers who strive in the way of Allah to bring us news through this site. The Western media do not show any news from Chechnya any more, this is my only link to events in Chechnya at the moment. May Allah grant the Mujahideen victory and a great reward in the hereafter." [Brother CR, UK, 25 April 2000]
"Each time that I check the news on qoqaz.net my Iman raises up to levels a Kafir would see as 'fanatical'. I feel like abandoning my job and joining my brothers in Chechnya, sacrificing everything for Allah. After all Allah has said that a drop of Muslim blood is more holy than the Ka'baa . I recently had the pleasure of meeting the roving ambassador of Chechnya, B* D* I* B* Shishani, and was pleasantly surprised in his total faith in Allah that your victory against the Kuffar Russians is just a matter of time. We were amazed with the manner in which Allah granted you the retake of Grozny in the last war. Please make dua that I will join you in Jihad and that all Muslims will forget the pleasures of this Dunya. It is left to Muslims in the West to take up arms and heed the call of Jihad the world over as our Arab brothers are being captured, imprisoned and killed in the so called 'Muslim countries' for their 'crime' of fighting in Allah's path. May Allah grant you victory and grant all Muslims unity. May Allah grant us victory in Chechnya, Palestine, Kashmir and all oppressed lands." [Brother FHR, Durban, South Africa, 27 April 2000]

There are many who may like to be where you are, for one reason or another Allah has not willed it or they have ultimately made the choice not to take this step....Allah is the best of judges. I pray Allah protects your intentions from the corruption of Shaitan and grants you success in this life and the hereafter...you deserve the best my brothers...I am praying for you as your Sister in Islam ...that is all I see my self doing at this stage. I want you to know my brothers, I am proud of you so much so that I feel protected because I know there are brothers in this Ummah who are doing there duty to protect their women, children and elderly.

When I see the pictures of Chechen people suffering from the hands of Kafirs, although they have wounds of war but I feel pain, I literally cried when I heard that Shamil Basayev was injured, he is a real life hero for me. The Chechen fighters are real heroes for every Muslim student in India. Although the Kafir regime in India always support the Russian terrorists, all 180 million Muslims in India heartily support the Mujahideen in Chechnya. ....Pray for me to perform my duties towards my parents and join the Holy War with you. To not only liberate Chechnya but every part of Muslim land from the Kafirs and Munafiqs. Islam is my soul without which I am dead and I want to remain alive among the dead."

I was in the military of this foreign country for two years as a soldier (only a private). I just quit 2 weeks ago. I am studying business in college. Just starting but I am 23 years old. I hope I can finish my studies fast and join you. I am saying that because I have pressure from my parents; they are Muslims but just take Islam as a second priority. By the way, I can speak French like our brother Masood Al-Benin RahimahuALLAH. I speak English and Arabic and some Spanish. I pray ALLAH to help use this against el Kuffar. Salam!"

The sacrifice of Chechen people and the other valuable life of the martyred should not be waste. I realize that it is easy to say that we are Muslim but it is difficult to become a real Muslim.

"When the two mighty hosts face each other. When some hearts are filled with dread and others filled with a longing Longing to return to their ancient fields of happiness Homesick for Jannah.
When the angels draw near When the swords are drawn When Ak-47's face forward. And men wait patiently for the order
When the Shahada is affirmed When the mighty earthshaking battle cry of Allahu-Akbar rolls across the horizon When the hearts of the enemy palpitate in fear The order is given.
When the path of direct access to Paradise is made clear And the Muslims charge forward When the Hur al'Ayn pray for the Mujahideen When Allah's Nasr and Sakeenah are sent down. The angels storm through the enemy sowing fear and death in their ranks
When the advance flank of the Believers drives deep into the enemy Cutting off the cavalry from infantry And then the full force of the Mujahideen army slams into the Unbelieving horde. And the two armies lock together in a deadly grip of life and death. One is destined for al-Firdaus eternal, the other one, for Jahannam eternal.
A time when dua's made in the thick of battle, are never turned away. A time when the Believers stand firm and never turn their backs till they fall Shaheed, Their sins forgiven at the first drop of blood. Their precious souls tenderly lifted upwards by the angels to enter Jannah To join the Blessed ranks of the Supreme Communion.
A time when Paradise opens up under the shades of swords At the time when Paradise gushes forth under a rain of killer bullets. At a time when the sons of Islam stand firm at their finest hour. A time when they conclude a magnificent transaction with Allah
For verily, He has bought the Believers' souls at the price of Jannatul Firdaus. And verily, the Word of Allah is Truth itself." [Brother T, USA, 24 April 2000]

The Sahabas sacrificed all that they had for the sake of Allah and you my brothers remind me of the spirit of the Sahabas, I pray Allah increases that spirit in you always and helps you to be patient and firm in your Iman. I cannot begin to say just how much you my brothers have made me realise about my duty as a Muslim. As a sister, I really do not know what much to do, of course I firmly believe in the power of Supplication....I still feel so much more could be done on sisters behalf, as the women companions in the past have done. Please pray to Allah for those of us who want to help as much as possible, pray that Allah guides us to help the cause of Islam in the best way. Insha Allah victory is near."

"Dear people of Chechnya, In London this week we had the Putin the loser and Blair the dumb lapdog, saying the same things that they have said over and over again about Chechnya and totally ignoring the devastation and occupation of your homeland by Russian troops. Tony Blairs so-called pragmatism towards Putin is a disgrace to Britain. If he was brave enough he would tell Putin that his war in Chechnya is a hopeless cause because the people and fighters of Chechnya will never rest until the last invader leaves your country no matter how long it takes. The arrogant way that the Russian troops have treated Chechnya and its people is an appalling indictment of their blind brutality -if they really cared for Chechnya and its people as they claim, then they would not of devastated it so ruthlessly. Instead they act as conquerors and will lose. I wish you success in your battles with the Russian invaders. May you triumph over the evil that has been let lose in Chechnya by Putin and his not so great army!" [Mr. DP, London, UK, 20 April 2000] "Assalamu alaikum You are amongst those who I wish to be amongst. May Allah accept me the way he accepted you. Lastly may Allah raise other Muslims like you to fight in His path." [Sister IL, UK, 23 April 2000]
"Dear Mujahideen Brothers, Keep on fighting. Many Muslims just want to shut their eyes and close their ears when hearing the suffering of the Ummah. They want to live their luxurious life like the Kuffar going to work everyday and getting a lucrative salary every month. Allah had said in Quran those who fight for Allah's way is the real winner. Jannah is waiting for the believers. Jannah is nothing to compare of anything in this world." [Brother ASI, Malaysia, 21 April 2000]
"Dearest Mujahideen, May Allah help you against His enemies! And indeed we are the winners if we are true believers. I pray to Allah for granting you the courage and steadfastness in the path of Allah. In fact you are lucky, to become Shuhada' the rank Allah loves the most. 'Indeed He loves those who fight in the cause of Allah' (Sura Saff)." [Brother PAS, India, 21 April 2000]
"Jazakum Allahu khairun for providing the excellent info on this site which I started visiting in January and I haven't missed a day since then. My suggestion is that if you could provide copies of your videotapes for sale as watching them on the net can be a slow & painful process on an analog modem. The proceeds could go to supporting your site, charity the Mujahideen, whatever. I send dua everyday for the Mujahideen and thank them for waking us all up from the slumber of secularism and materialism. We know that Allah ta'aala will grant them success in this life and in the hereafter as he did to Salahuddin, Khalid Ibn Walid, Uthman dan Fodio to name a few."

"I pray for Allah to place Masood and others of His soldiers in the highest places in Heaven. I noticed that lately the news from Chechnya are been delayed and I don't know if it is because of the Istish'had some ones like Masood "may Allah place him in heaven " or it is other problems ....! I pray to Allah to help his soldiers and make them win on his and there enemy . You don't know how much you are doing for those who are so eager to hear there brothers news in this Islamic spot . May Allah accept your efforts and reward you for what you are doing ." [Brother AM, USA, 23 April 2000]
"May Allah shower His mercy on you and assist you in every step of the Jihaad against the enemy of Allah, the Russians and all those hypocrites who support and aid them. If "brilliant" western leaders like Blair, and Clinton do not see the blatant contradictions in these statements and the terribly obvious ploy to get more money in their request for funds to destroy their chemical weapons stock piles, then they are either utter fools, or accepting such rubbish Russian explanations, they too are brutally complicit along with the rest of the Western countries in the "UN and NATO sanctioned" massacre of Muslims in Chechnya, Bosnia, Kosova and the World over. In writing off the billions of dollars of loans by the IMF and in the recent political and economic overtures to Russia by NATO and EU members, only establishes the fact that Western leaders believe that they must prop up Russia at all costs in order to eliminate the "Muslim" threat to the West as Putin has conveniently labeled Muslim Nations. Come what may, as much as the enemies of Allah plan and scheme, Allah has plans for them too, and if they do not see a small example of Allah's plan in the miracle of a small band of brave Muslims putting up not just a resistance, but indeed wiping out the great Russian might, then they are quite blind. For all their bombs and plans in the end they too must return to Allah. Insha Allah our Muslim brothers fighting the filthy Russians in Chechnya, and earlier as in Afghanistan, will dispatch these drunken lunatics to Allah. These Muslims of Chechnya and all those Muslims who fight alongside them are the true Muslims and true Men who would rather be Shaheed then live an eternity in servility and humiliation as pets of the Western Masters, which is what almost all Muslim countries have been reduced to. I pray not only for you my brothers and sisters in Chechnya but for all Muslims of our Prophet's (PBUH) Ummah, and that I may live to see the day when some brave soul will stand up finally and say, no more and take these hypocrite leaders to task. May you remain united, may Allah be with you always and may your Iman remain stronger than steel." [Brother TN, NY, USA, 21 April 2000]

"Assalaamu alykum honored Mujahideen, since the start of the War my life has changed. I follow and read events every single day on your website. I try and picture or visualize what conditions are like on the front-lines and what goes through the minds of the Mujahideen. What logistics are involved, food, warmth, sanitation, water, sewerage, medication, etc, etc. Is there a rotation system for the Mujahideen to rest and take breaks, are they able to contact their families, etc, etc. I can try to imagine how tough and difficult conditions must be, May ALLAH make it easy for you all and Grant you Sabr and Victory over the Russians and enemies of Islam. Be Brave and Steadfast O Mujahideen, and please be careful about infiltrators to your ranks. The Russians might be sending in spies and infiltrators to assassinate the Commanders. Please also explain what are OMON units, Spetznaz units, BMP's, Ural Trucks, BTR's, etc. It pleases my heart when I read about the Russians loosing all this military hardware. The photos and videos are the best, if possible post more photos and info of the lives of the Mujahideen. We only read about foreign Mujahideen, why not inform us more about the Chechen Mujahideen without giving too much away. Hold Fast onto the Rope of ALLAH O honored Warriors of ISLAM !!!!!!!"

"Dear Chechen brothers and sisters, I am a regular visitor to your site. I never believed I could see in this modern era people who reminds me of the companions of the Prophet (SAW). They were people who were not afraid of death. Khalid bin Walid used to say to the enemies: "I have with me people who love death as much as you love wine". I can see these qualities in the Chechens. They love to die for the sake of Allah as much as the Russians love vodka. What about those foreign Mujahideen who have left their homes in order to help their Muslim brothers in Chechnya? What a wonderful people they are! The Prophet (SAW) will be proud of you on the Day of Judgment. Where are those Turks who used to be the Glory of Islam? They used to be so strong that there is even a proverb in French, which says: "as strong as a Turk" They used to be so strong that the unbelievers used to believe that they never die. They used to believe that when you killed a Turk he just rises up from the dead , once you turn your back and he starts fighting you again. There used to be an elite group among the Turks called the "Janissaar" (those who have promised to give their lives in the battlefield and not to come back alive). Whenever the Crusaders used to hear that the Janissaar have joined the war they would turn back on their heels and run away from the battlefield. When the Turks were fighting for Islam Allah Taala had given them Honour, Dignity, Respect, Fame and an Empire which no other Muslim nation ever had. Where are those Turks who have produced man like Salahuddin the magnanimous, and Soleiman the magnificent? They were the pride and glory of Islam. Today we are seeking honour and fame in the same field as the Kuffar. Umar R.A used to say "We are a people whom Allah Taala has given us honour through Islam." Today we are mimicking the Kuffar by seeking honour on the football field chasing a leather ball instead of chasing the Kuffar on the battlefield. May Allah wake us up all from our slumber. You ,our Chechen brothers and sisters we thank you for having taught us a lesson we have long forgotten i.e. the purpose of our lives . We have been born in order to elevate the Deen of Allah and to liberate mankind from the injustice of man-made laws and to bring them under the justice of Allah's Laws even if it be at the cost of our lives."

"Asalaamu alaikum, may Allah (SWT) grant us victory! May Allah guide and bless us all, and deliver us from the despair we are in. May we rise up to Your call, and give us strength to overcome hardships. Let us worship You in peace and security. May we become the strong Ummah we once were. Help us to destroy the oppressors, and those who mock You. Grant us forgiveness for our wrongdoing, as we are only human. Let us see the light of the gardens of Paradise, and shelter us from the torment of Hell. Open our hearts and minds to the true path, the path of enlightenment and understanding.

Please keep it up and know very well that your news issued via Qoqaz.net makes great difference in making Muslims (and non-Muslims as well) all over the world know really what is happening in Chechnya, and know the "sacredness" of Jihad by revealing the "painful" and doomed fate of the Russian Orthodox forces operating (or in other words being crushed) in Chechnya."

Currently I am in my final year of a medical course, Insha Allah I am becoming a Muslim doctor. Although I cannot join the Mujahideen at present, I pray that I am able to as soon as possible. Even if the war ends, with the Victory for the Mujahideen, I am determined to allocate some time of my life to the people of Chechnya. I do this because I have made a promise to Allah (SWT). To all my Muslim brothers who are qualified doctors and experienced, for once you have the opportunity to stand in front of Allah on the Day of Judgment and at least be proud that the profession you held was of great benefit in the precious jewel of life.

"Dear friends: We all pray for God to help you in your struggle for independence from the Russians. The atrocities committed by the Russians in the beginning of the 21st century and the indifference of the so-called " Western democracies " underscores the hypocrisy of the US and Europe. I believe that these countries and the UN organization and all the financial groups giving loans to Russia should be held partly responsible for the crimes in Chechnya. A pro-Chechnya camp should be staging daily protests and demonstrations in major Western cities and create media and public outcry to stop the genocide. Also it would be appropriate if contacts can be made with humanitarian groups to sponsor treatment of injured Chechen civilians in European countries such as Sweden, France, Germany and Britain. I and many of my friends would like to contribute but we don't know how and we are also afraid that it may end up in the wrong hands. So hopefully you would be able to come up with a solution.

All the Kafir Russians that have died are screaming in agony!! I want to ask you to hand over the nine OMON troops to Russia as soon as possible, so they may be put under ground. That is when they (the prisoners) receive their second punishment. 1 billion people are anxious to feel that the enemy is being punished for Kufr and war crimes by our just Lord.

"Oh me! I am in a "peaceful" country, but I remember not when was the last time I prayed Fajr with a Jamaat. While my brothers and sisters are kept awake and bombed all the night by the Russian aircraft, my sleep is so deep that I even miss Fajr Salat. When I wake up it is almost time for dhuhr prayer. At the age of 18, I was in the zenith of my boyish dreams. At the same age Al-Khattab set his foot on the Jihad front-line. Twelve years more and I am still dreaming, no dream comes true, and realize that dreams are merely dreams. Twelve years after dust from a battlefield proudly stuck to the face of Al- Khattab for the first time, he is now an Ameer (call him Commander\ Commando\ Captain\ Terrorist\ Bandit\ Rebel\ Extremist\ whatever) teaching the Kuffars lessons through the only language they understand. Bills will soon be due I have no time for Islam, well after all I tell myself: one should first light the lamp at home before minding the neighbor's darkness. But I forget that at this very moment my Mujahideen brothers in Chechnya are going around with empty stomachs but proudly raising the banner of Islam and driving the impure disbelievers from Muslim lands. It is time I ask myself who is in a real peace.

"Dear brothers in Chechnya: They call you 'terrorists' If they consider terrorism to be defending the land and religion of Islam against filthy, greedy cowardly Kuffar, then I consider you to be the greatest terrorists in the world. They call what the b*** Russians are doing to the Chechen women and children with napalm bombs and SCUD missiles 'human rights abuses', well then, the so-called "Holocaust" pales in comparison to this, because it was committed in secrecy and within the confines of a concentration camp. To call the brutal bombing of civilian villages and towns 'human rights abuses' is enough to show that the only thing all of the Kuffar can agree about is how they can slaughter the Muslims and conceal these crimes. The Israeli-occupied territory known as the United States is doing a good job of supplying the Russians with arms while simultaneously claiming to be 'horrified' at their 'irresponsible' actions!!!

"The Mujahideen in Chechnya have done a wonderful job in fighting off the colonial Superpowers. They are not only fighting the Russians but also scum and immoral nations like the USA, UK, France, Italy, NATO and the UN who are all backing the scum Russians by giving moral support as well as supplying them with arms and media propaganda. The Mujahideen have cut down, battered, humiliated and torn apart the so called "mighty Russian army". Here in England the Mujahideen have the full support of all Muslims, young, old, women, children, weak, strong, rich and the poor, and Insha Allah the Kafir superpower shall once again be torn apart by the Muslims, the warriors of Allah." [Brother NI, Coventry, England, 11 April 2000]
"I am writing on behalf of many of my sisters in Islam who feel the same way as I do. We are very proud of our Mujahid brothers, our TRUE brothers in Islam, for taking seriously a brutal rape-murder of one of our sisters in Chechnya, and for pledging to hunt down and bring to justice to the criminal Yuri Budanov and the likes of him, AND for taking concrete action to this end. This echoes of great men in Islamic history such as Muhammad bin Qasim and Mu'tasim - who conquered entire nations just on account of abuse of a Muslim woman! May Allah (SWT) be with you and may He (SWT) make the rest of the sleeping Ummah wake up to their duties to Allah, and also to realize who the TRUE champions of Muslim womens' rights really are! Wassalam alaikum," [Sister UA, USA, 11 April 2000]
"The Christians cannot and will not accept that the Muslims unite all over the world. Since the fall of 'The Soviet Empire', they returned against all the Muslims over the world. Each Muslim country that is trying to develop itself, by gaining knowledge is stopped. We have several examples: Chechnya, Iraq, Indonesia, Pakistan, Algeria, Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan...But why is it that the Muslims still aren't united? We posses everything: petrol, strategic locations, natural resources ..and most of all ..we know that Islam is the future ! But the West knows that it cannot stop Islam.. one day there will come others that will vanquish these infidels (on the verge of this new millennium Insha Allah) ! It pains me to see that the Chechen people are suffering.. and that nobody on this planet is willing to help them. The pervert Jews keep talking about their so called 'holocaust' (at least they have a word for it)... but what is being perpetrated against the Chechen people ? There's no word to describe it. Victory will be upon the Chechen Muslims, they proved to the whole world that they can win any war!! Insha -Allah" [Brother BG, Belgium, 11 April 2000]
"Chechnya
A nation fighting for their Deen, A Faith which before has never been seen. A people who are being tortured, Men, women and children being butchered.
Fighting alone in the Caucasus, Verily, they've risen for Allah's Cause. A nation so brave, Has become like a deserted grave.
A nation who stood for Islam, Who took the Halal and rejected the Haraam Aren't they our brothers in belief? So why don't we offer them any relief?
Being tormented are they for they had Clearly and without any fear said, "Verily, there is none worthy of worship except Allah; And that Muhammad (S) is the Messenger of Allah."
Against this accursed state of tyranny they have fought and will fight, How many a small nation Allah has blessed with might. And has raised them to a lofty height. Those were the ones who distinguished between the Wrong & the Right. In the recent pages of history, There has been many a Muslim country, Tormented by the Kuffar in the East and the West Bosnia, Kosova, Kashmir, Palestine and the rest
Have we forgotten the sayings of the Seal of Prophethood (S), That verily the Muslims are one united brotherhood. So what has caused us to be deaf and blind, While the Chechens are besieged and others of their kind.
Who, and again who in this Ummah has against Kufr raised a voice? Who, and again who has rejected this world's pleasure and choice? Except for a handful, there is almost none, Who has truly obeyed the Creator of the moon and the sun.
Muslims, your brothers, being slaughtered and slain, Yet you look at them in disdain. Who has the spirit to fight for the sake of the All-Powerful? Who has the courage to raise the banner of Islam?
May Allah (Glory be to Him Alone) hasten the victory of the Mujahideen against the accursed and barbaric Russian forces which shall burn in Hell Insha Allah, and may the Muslim Ummah (Insha Allah) get to see the new Islamic state of Chechnya, and may Allah bless and reward all those who have sacrificed themselves and their belongings in the Cause of Allah against the accursed Kuffar."

We need to take note of this build-up and counter-attack the enemy. Allah's blessings and guidance to the all the Muslims who are contributing in all forms. Salams" [Brother AA, Norway, 12 April 2000] "I often read emails of surprise from people who do not understand why the West has not intervened in Chechnya based on moral considerations, or why the Arabic governments do not do more about this problem. I would like to refer the readers to a scholarly work which exposes Western hypocrisy and its godless plotting. The books I would like to mention are: 1. "Secrets, lies and democracy" by Noam Chomsky. 2. "What Uncle Sam really wants" by Noam Chomsky. 2. "Necessary Illusions" by Noam Chomsky. The author makes a clear cut case against Western hegemony. For those who doubt the evil machinations of Western governments, then the above provides more evidence. This ultimately lends more support to why the Quran has to be taken by faith, because it is secular knowledge that will never catch up with the consummate wisdom of the Quran. My dear Chechen brothers may Allah hasten your victory and disgrace all those who plot against you. May Allah protect you and be with you with every step you take."

"If there is one thing that a casual observer records from the attitude of US, UK and other NATO leaders and the Western media in their scrutiny and treatment of news and facts reported by the AZZAM and other Chechen support media, is a display of either an incredibly short memory or a deliberate penchant to believe only what they want to believe, when considering that the Russians of the cold war era had as much credibility as a bold face liar and a thief -however now the same nefarious murderers and cutthroats, liars and thieves who made up the motley crowd formerly known as the "Communists" and the "KGB" are now given credibility when they report news as a "New Russia". Call them what you like but the Russians are the same vile creatures as before, as is so openly obvious from all the massacre and mayhem in Chechnya of innocent defenseless women and children and also from the overt Russian complicity in the massacre of Albanian Muslims by their brothers the Serb butchers. Cowards always make cruel tyrants and despots. It looks like the Russians and Serbs can only show their "gallantry" when killing defenseless women and children, however they scatter like the rats they are when faced with prospect of a fight with our brave Muslim Mujahideen. My brothers you are in each and every one of my prayers, every Mujahid and every Shaheed. May Allah bless and guide you to victory so great that it would obliterate the very name of the "Evil Soviet Empire" as appropriately named by the former US president, Ronald Reagan Allah is with you my brothers, not an ounce of your blood is shed in vain. Our hearts and minds with you always, sleeping and waking." [Brother TN, NY, USA, 10 April 2000]

To all Mujahideen, may He hasten victory for you and send a severe punishment to the disbelievers and hypocrites everywhere (especially the Russians). We all here pray for you O brothers that Allah makes you victorious, and grants us the chance to be fighting by your side in the land of Jihad. May Allah make Jannah our dwelling place."

I think you are not only helping the Muslim Ummah from all over the world unite but you are sort of doing dawah to the non Muslims who believe in peace, equality, and most of all truth. Since you have done such a great job in showing the world and Muslims alike what really is going on in Chechnya through your website. I suggest you have a website on "Jihad in Kashmir", the Muslims around the world really need to know about the suffering our Muslim brothers and sisters are facing from the idol worshippers. They need our support. Please convey my salaam to my loving brothers and sisters in Chechnya. Insha Allah they will be victorious, ameen." [Brother AK, USA, 10 April 2000]
"I was reading the Holy Quran, and I came across this amazing ayah that I felt it describing the Mujahideen, and I thought about sharing it with you if you don't mind! In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. 'O ye who believe if any from among you turn back from his faith, soon will Allah produce a people whom He will love as they will love Him - Lowly with the believers, Mighty against the rejecters, Fighting in the way of Allah, and never afraid of reproaches of such as find fault. That is the Grace of Allah, which He will bestow on whom He pleaseth. And Allah encompasseth all, and He knoweth all things.' Al Maidah ( ayah 54)." [Sister SA, MA, USA, 10 April 2000]

You see so clear my dear brothers, the hate they conceal, so it's upon us obligatory to fight this unjust world until the Shariah of Allah is ruling with its perfect justice .

"Dear Chechen Mujahideen Keep fighting in the cause of Allah till you achieve your GOAL, most of the Muslims in this World are Praying for your success, I say most, not all because some of the Muslims have sought PROTECTION from the JEWS and the CHRISTIANS besides Allah, they think (USA Insurance Policy) will save their governments, i.e. Gulf States, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt and Algeria. They don't know that Shah of Iran was the most powerful ruler in the middle east, and even he could not save his throne with American help, not only this, when he had to run for his life these so called protectors of Democracy did not even give him refuge in their country. Jews and Christians pretend to be your friends when you are in power, and once you are out of power they search for new friends. O Mujahid of Allah, you know your friends and foes better than anyone else so fight till the Glory of Islam is reinstated in this world." [Brother FJ, New Delhi, India, 10 April 2000]
"O brothers and sisters: please do not compare the Russian bacteria, scum, murders and ALL of whom support them with animals. The worst animals do not come close in their actions to those of the filthy, cowardly, child raping and civilian murdering Russian military. The life of one worshiper of ALLAH (SWT) is more precious then all the Russian military. It would be wonderful (and socially acceptable by Western standards) if we would do nothing more then ask the Russians in a polite way to please stop destroying, killing and raping. If that 'polite' language would be effective I would be the first to submit a 'polite' request. The West wants us to roll over, be raped and then die quietly. Do not fool yourselves if you think the West is not directly supporting the murder of Muslim civilians, then why do you think that the USA recently gave so much money to and also forgave huge loans for Russia ??? The West is in for many big surprises, we are not going to take it any more !!!" [Brother HS, USA, 09 April 2000]
"Upon reading the statement made by Commanders Basayev and Khattab, I remembered the cry that one Muslim woman made in the days of the Muatassim, which led to a war that taught the Crusaders a lesson... This is what should have happened in Bosnia, Kosovo, and elsewhere... Insha'Allah, the problems of the Russians have just started, and they will suffer, in addition to the daily toll, inner conflict among their different institutions, just like any vulgar gang fighting over territory... Brothers, every time the enemy claims victory, the brave lions come up with a daring operation, thus leading to more body bag shipments to Moscow... Alhamdulillah. Brothers, you are always in our prayers..." [Brother AB, Lebanon, 07 April 2000]
"The BBC's main story on April 1 was that the chief of the United Nations High Commission for Human Rights, Ms Mary Robinson, had arrived in Russia to investigate human rights violations like torture and rape of the Chechens during the crackdown on the breakaway republic. Perhaps the UN was waiting all this time for the city of Grozny and the rest of Chechnya to be reduced to rubble in order to give full support to its HR high commissioner to hold investigations. But the UN and its western mentors were not the only silent spectators. The most criminal silence has come from the Muslim countries from Africa in the west to the near and far east in Asia. The Muslim Ummah, said the Holy Prophet (PBUH,) is like a body so that when one part aches, the whole body is disturbed. But no formal protest was lodged, no word of encouragement for the battered Chechens came from any quarter. Has the Ummah lost its faculties to think and feel? And does our own government believe that by calling the Chechen soldiers jaanbaz and giving mechanical coverage of the conflict in the news bulletins on state-run television, it is absolved of all human and moral responsibilities?"

"I pray to Allah most high to grant our unbelievable brothers and sisters in Chechnya peace in this year (very soon). May He protect our tough and brave Mujahideen brothers and grant them a soon, quick, final and clear victory. May the Russians be beaten in such a matter, that they never even think of rising their evil hands even in Moscow towards a proud man from the Caucasus. I�ve read the news, which say that German BND gave help to the dirty Russian government. They give support in giving material about "Islamic extremists" and "international terrorism". When a Muslim does more for his religion than to pray five times a day, he develops in their eyes to a "fundamentalist" and "Islamic terrorist". And when a Muslim possesses the unbelievable desire to found or create a Shariah ruled country, this Muslim "must be stopped in any way". This is their way of looking to Muslims. But thanks to Allah their are brothers and sisters, who want to live their religion not in the way of the Kufr, but in the way of Allah. Insha Allah the number of Muslims who see it that way will grow steadily!" [Brother MAY, Germany, 08 April 2000]
"For your information please let it be known that the Kuffar (disbelievers) are described in the Quran as a group who will not cease to fight us till we become like them. They may denounce the war to gain votes or to sound politically correct. Behind the scenes they continue their plots to destroy an atom's weight of the Nur of Islam (In this case the possibility of an Islamic state in the Caucasus). This is reverberated in history when the Quraish feared the Muslims in Medina as a thorn to their prosperity (The Meccan caravans had to pass nearby to go to Syria for trade). Similarly to get oil, Russia has to pass pipelines in or around the Caucasus." [Brother RUI, CA, USA, 08 April 2000]

Our prayers are always with you and may Allah, in His Wisdom and Compassion, grant you freedom or the honour of Martyrdom for Islam. While it gives us some satisfaction to learn that 9 Russian dogs had been executed, I would like to suggest that the next batch of captives to be punished should have their limbs on opposite sides amputated. This will create a longer anguish for the Russian society than death. The amputees should be released back to the Russians immediately in order to maximize the drain to their resources in caring for them. Should all marauding Russians captured be dealt with in this way, we would create hundreds or even thousands of nonproductive cripples that would drain the Russian economy for years to come, leaving them too impoverished or too scared to venture into Muslim lands again.

I told him wallahi, we are the poor (masakeen), the Mujahideen are rich, winners, and have all the dignity that no other Muslim has. How? They are rich because they ask Allah the most Generous and Malik, not the human being. Winners because Allah promised them either the Victory or Al-shahada. They have all the dignity because the rape and killing of one MUSLIM GIRL will cost the Russians a lot of lives. Therefore, the dignity is all to the Mujahideen whom Allah, the Almighty, granted it to them. Dear Mujahideen, I remember you in all of my prayers.

Dear Mujahid brother, Insha Allah, Allah (SWT) will keep your sister in Paradise for her sacrifice. She was tortured and killed only because she was a Muslim. Insha Allah, her killers will be punished by Allah (SWT) Whose punishment is unbearable even after death. Russians soldiers have proved that they are not only barbarians but also savages who do not deserve any mercy. The criminal leaders of Russia must drown themselves in the sewers of Moscow, whose mercenaries have no guts to fight with Mujahideen, instead they aim at innocent civilians by torturing and murdering them for being Muslims.

"FSB compiled more lies as you can see in the reports. They claim that the Mujahideen already executed the POWs Last Sunday. It is very clear that such a report from their side is nothing but a way out to convince the mass that handing over their war criminal to the Chechens is nonsense because the Chechens are "playing" and have already killed the POW's. I am extremely shocked as to how low human beings can get. First to the committing of all those horrible war crimes in Chechnya by the Russian Soldiers, and second, to the absolutely continuous shattering lies that Putin, his government, his media and his generals produce. It is getting to the point that everything they say is lies. It is getting so out of hand that they can't keep track of what they say anymore, and that's why we always see conflicting news and reports generated from the different offices in their government. We know of their lies and un-credibility, but it gets really annoying to hear them echoed in the Western media. As they say, even the biggest lies become accepted if repeated over and over, and that's what the Russian demons try to do, but Insha Allah the Truth shall defeat their shallow plans. I feel bad for the Russian people, they have been brainwashed and deceived and more to come down the road. Putin mocks his people and the world openly with his lies and deceptions and the bad thing is that he's not shy about it at all. Just a couple of days before his bloodstained election, he told some news agency that running for elections is a "dishonest business", one has to give promises over and over more than the other candidates do in order to win votes. He bluntly tells his people that his promises are empty and nothing but lies, and they still follow him. And one last comment on their lies, it's interesting how according to their published statistics most Chechen voters voted for Putin, their slaughterer, and the votes coming from Chechnya relevant to Putin were far more higher in percentage than those of the Russians. The Chechens 'admire' this man very much... sigh!! Allah almighty bless you all, and may He reward you and add to your power, the power of truth. May He heal the hearts and the wounds of the Chechen people, strengthen their Mujahideen in faith and power and give them another Victory to be recorded in history, and I pray that the Islamic Media becomes more powerful, to reach and educate humans about the Truth."

However, please accept our message of support, from us who are not within "hell's smell" of the level of Iman and Taqwa at which you are; from us who can imagine ourselves participating in Jihad but do not have the vigilance to actually do the act of getting on the plane and traveling to Chechnya and joining the struggle; from us who come up with the lamest excuses not to join Jihad and from us who ask forgiveness for this and pray that as soon as possible Allah (SWT) bestows His mercy upon us and His blessing, that we may wake up, repent, and correct ourselves, and then have the honour of joining you all in defeating the enemy of the Deen chosen by Allah (SWT) for all mankind. For those of us who do not wish to join, and who do not have a legitimate excuse, neither you nor Islam needs them, for once again, Allah (SWT) is sufficient as your Protector and Sustainer. Indeed while we pray for you, please utter a quick word or two for us, who have not yet been chosen to fight in Allah's cause, not yet been chosen to join you exalted servants of the Creator, Mujahideen, so that we may rise to the level required to then be given the opportunity for fight for Islam, against the oppression, torture and genocide, committed against a people, simply because of their beliefs. In any case, it does seem that Allah (SWT) has in store for you all a great victory over the Russian Military, so long as you do not become complacent and continue as you have been, with an indescribable passion, possible only for those who fight for Islam. May Allah continue to bless and help you and may your victory loom in the midst of continuous Russian destruction." [Brother AR, Auckland, New Zealand, 06 April 2000]
"A short message to the Chechens and other warriors fighting the Russian hordes: you are the world's best example of courage under immense odds since the Afghan heroes of the 80's...... I therefore have the highest esteem for the Chechen fighters and have the full confidence that their will and belief in almighty Allah will grant them a great victory." [Mr RL, Australia, 05 April 2000]
"Brothers in Islam, after reading the message about Mosa , we here felt very sad and our eyes were filled with tears. I know it will not help but these were our feelings. I know that you feel upset that Muslims are not doing anything about it, but if you looked at us what we can do? I am a girl so I can't go for jihad, but even my brother who wishes to be with you, he can't as he is still studying and my family will not allow it. It is very difficult for us here seeing our brothers and sisters treated in this way and we are standing here unable to do anything. We make Du'a but still feeling it is not enough. So please don't think that Muslims don't think of you, it is just that we are unable to do something which we find it so distressing more than anything else." [Sister S, USA, 06 April 2000]
"To all Mujahideen in Chechnya, may Allah bless you, keep your spirit, and I will try to help with prayers or money. I have also Jihad here in Ambon against Kuffar of Christians, so we need your prayers." [Brother S, Indonesia, 05 April 2000]
"I am a very unable and weak brother of thine writing from Bangladesh. O SOLDIERS OF ALLAH! I have nothing to give to you but my earnest du'a from the deepest core of my heart so that ALLAH THE MOST HIGH may grant victory to my brethren in the Caucasus against the heinous enemies of ISLAM, HUMANITY and ALLAH. O DEFENDERS OF ALLAH! fight the enemies down with all your strength, courage and IMAN. For IMAN BILLAH is the best of all our weapons. O THE CUSTODIANS OF ISLAM! the whole Ummah is praying for your victory against the Russian bandits and those aggressive dogs and those of the Western governments who have supported them in their shameful crime from the backdoor and thus have proved themselves as enemies of Islam. O MUJAHIDEEN, let not one bandit go back, let not one criminal aircraft return unharmed, let not one enemy vehicle remain safe. O FRIENDS OF ALLAH! FIGHT IN THE WAY OF ALLAH WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT AND DRIVE THE INVADERS AWAY IN SUCH HUMILIATION THAT NO ENEMY OF ISLAM EVER DARES TO EVEN LOOK INTO ANY MUSLIM LAND. ALLAH ALWAYS WITH YOU." [Dr. AC, Bangladesh, 05 April 2000]
"The UN is an obvious tool used by the Kuffar to create excuses to send in "mischief making troops" to an area where they consider human rights have been violated. The are beating their drums now... read CNN today. They will try to send them to Chechnya... they will try to disarm the Mujahideen to keep peace on both sides... What will the Mujahideen do when these "mischief makers" arrive? I hope the Mujahideen fight EVERYONE who opposes Allah's laws. I hope the Mujahideen establish Islam in Chechnya and don't fall for the simpleton tricks designed by the Kuffar for their own interests." [Brother PW, USA, 05 April 2000]

"After reading the message of Mr LT, Finland, 31 March 2000, I feel sad and touched, touched for a non-muslim offered himself to fight the Russians in Chechnya and sad for my other Muslim brothers all over the world who failed to do so. There were actually a few brothers from Malaysia who went to Afghanistan in the Afghan war against the Russians and one Shaheed there. His story has inspired me lots. Then I hope, I can be in Chechnya and also hope there are brothers from here who are taking part in the Jihad there. At least, there are representatives from here who care." [Brother ZC, Malaysia, 02 April 2000]
"I think Putin -and his accomplices- should be allowed to live for a thousand years. ... So that they could sometime suffer in their flesh the atrocities inflicted on the innocent Chechen people. My daily thoughts are with you, with your brave men and women in Chechnya. I think it would help if smaller quantities were allowed as contributions to the Chechen cause. You see, in the Western countries there is no such thing as a broad social consensus about the nature and causes of this conflict (that's what the media intoxication is about!), and it is difficult for so many people to gather the minimal amount of money necessary to make contributions, or to speak openly with other people to do so. I think that lowering a little that minimum could help a lot." [Mr. AFB, USA, 02 April 2000]
"Oh, my brothers in Chechnya don't worry about the situation you're in because Allah is on your side. You will not perish and be thrown into Hell fire like those (Russians) who are killing civilians and raping innocent females. As Allah tells us you will directly go to the Paradise. I can say you are very lucky because you get your Paradise in your hands. Because you are in a real Jihad. I wish I was in Chechnya. Beware Russians are trying to change your country into desert, "no-man's land". If this isn't true they wouldn't bombard the cities, villages and counties when there is not even one Chechen fighter. They want to destroy every single house in your country, not only they want to kill you, but also to make land unlivable. I am very optimistic that you will sweep them out like garbage or dust. We pray for your victory." [Brother AY, Minnesota, USA, 03 April 2000]
"To the soldiers of ALLAH (SWT). Muslims in Australia salute you. We pray for your victory against the Russian TERRORIST, BARBARIANS..We also tell your Jihad to everybody to draw their attention to the subject. You are special people, there are no words to describe you and Allah (SWT) will not forget you. May Allah (SWT) reward and bless you for your efforts, and peace finally find you.." [Brother K, Australia, 03 April 2000]
"Recently we heard the Russian Interior Minister General complaining that the unit that was destroyed (39 soldiers, nine captured) failed to follow orders. I.E.- that they went into the village without air support and proper command. What the General failed to point out was they didn't follow proper orders because they went to the village for the purposes of looting and raping the remaining villagers. It was Allah's will that they were caught by 5 Mujahideen who called in reinforcements and quickly destroyed the entire Russian group of pillagers. May I suggest that people that are following news on qoqaz try to pray 2 ra'kas of thanks to Allah (SWT) after every Mujahideen victory that they hear of." [Brother AOK, USA, 03 April 2000]
"More bodies, more grief, and more agony for the likes of the OMON troops... Did Putin think that tears will only roll on Muslim women's cheeks in Chechnya ? Did he think that the Lions' Den can be taken with mercenaries ? Insha Allah, no house in Russia will be spared from wearing black, and the earth will be crowded with the rotten corpses of the so-called Russian troops, but which could be more adequately designated as criminals... Patience my brothers, and Insha Allah, you will be granted victory from the Almighty." [Brother AB, Lebanon, 01 April 2000]
"Our beloved Mujahideen, you are the true men, and the whole world adores your magnificent bravery , your Jihad flame will keep burning till the final victory. My eyes drop tears every time I watch your bright faces shining with faith and happiness. Your Jihad showed all the Muslims that �Al-Jihad is our way�." [Brother AMT, Saudi Arabia, 03 April 2000]
"Alhamdulillah, O brave and great Mujahideen upon your successful efforts against the Russian swine, and his Jew and Saxon companions. Your bone-crushing & backbreaking destruction upon the evil armies of the aggressors, is mystifying those of the evil Western press. The evil ones are unable to withstand the relentless onslaught of Allah's wrath, and the ground swell for a cease in hostilities from those of the enemies most affected (mothers and husbands of the dead Russians) is starting to build. Masha Allah, for it is due to your dutiful self sacrifice that the ground of Ichkeriya will forever be a Muslim hand, and in Muslim lore. Alhamdulillah." [Brother AJAA, USA, 03 April 2000]
"Allah has again glorified his soldiers, the Chechen Mujahideen, in their latest operations against the enemies in the last few days. Allah also has set Hell Fire in the heart of the Russians. The Russian Defense Minister is planning to investigate the defective plan of the Generals for their defeat and to punish them. O' foolish Defense Minister, you will find that there was no fault of your generals in the plan. They planned with their best capability and the soldiers fought with their utmost effort. But you don't know that Allah is the best of all PLANNERS and His soldiers are the most capable and the best of all soldiers. Only command that Allah needs to use is "BE". May Allah give full safety of my beloved Chechen Muslims and quick victory over the enemies of Islam. Ameen." [Brother AM, Japan, 03 April 2000]
"My dear brothers may Allah shower his blessings upon you. Ever since I discovered about your site, near the end of last year I have been accessing your site all the time even if to just check for news that I print & give to the people of the Masjid. I have to say that now that RasPutin is officially the Gremlin of the Kremlin & he has made his intentions about Sheeshan clear, I am sure he would soon regret ever taking such a decision. My dear brothers who are reading this site this is my direct call to you all. Summer is coming the mountain roads will be clear lets head towards Sheeshan. As the Sahaaba at the time of Jihaad said "they could smell the aroma of Jannah when the call to Jihaad was made". Well what has gone wrong with our sense of smell ?" [Brother AF, UK, 03 April 2000]
"Chechen Jihad is an eye opener for all Muslims to accept this universal truth "The survival of the fittest". I completely agree with Shaheed Abdullah Azzam's verdict in this regard that "only Rifle alone no negotiation ..". The rich "Civilized Western nations" are spreading the terror by inventing and selling the weapons of mass destruction but not declared Terrorist by the champions of Human Rights. I was reading in Newspaper other day that Sweden and France have agreed to supply India the heavy Guns. (And I am sure these guns will not be used to kill the flies) Whereas small groups of Muslims heavily outnumbered in term of arms and weapons fighting against the aggressor and merely defending their land either in Afghanistan, Kashmir, Palestine Kosova or Bosnia are termed as Terrorists."

Added 03 April 2000 "The Sword The scent of you I shan�t forget, it lives forever more. My heart will carry you, and yet, it cries the aching sore. I can�t let go, though painfully like gripping fire coal, I fail to gather energy. It�s slipping from my soul. The more the days go by, goodbye to you..my heart..surrender. The only hope that I survive, and keep my lonely heart alive, is finding a heartmender. Whom shall I find to mend my heart? 'Tis you my love, for you�re my heart!! Then how shall I brush death away when we are both apart? Behold, at last, a messenger that brings me stabbing news. Be still my heart, my heart is hurt and wrongfully abused. How can this be my heart I ask? Your beauty covered with a mask, and honor made a feast! Not long ago I held the sword, the rightly guided by the Lord, and kept away the beast. Twinkle, twinkle in the night. They weren�t the stars that shined so bright, But in my eyes you were the light that dimmed the ashy moon. Now, every now and then I get the magic scent I can�t forget. I miss, reminisce; the day we met -JIHAAD- I�ll see you soon!" [Brother YAS, Makkah, Saudi Arabia, 31 March 2000]

"From the Devils Mouth ! 'As Russian officials defended their actions in Chechnya, however, Chief of General Staff Anatoly Kvashnin said that a tank regiment Commander had been accused of raping and killing a Chechen woman. Kvashnin identified the Commander as Col. Budanov, whom he called a "scoundrel" and a "bandit". Russian officials had apologized to the woman's family and attended her funeral, he said.' Source CNN.

"I am a 15 year old Muslim girl and visit your website often. The Muslim community in Guyana has been supporting your efforts to destroy the Russian forces and every night after prayers my family and I make Dua for your victory. I don't know what else to say but soon Insha Allah victory will be given to the Muslims." [Sister FY, Guyana, 02 April 2000]
"Regardless of what some perceive us as, many are beginning to see the benefits of Islam. I was a person not prone to believing conspiracy theories, but am now a believer. How else can I rationally explain to myself the unnecessary and completely inhuman treatment of my extended family? Muslims everywhere are being tormented it seems. For years the Muslims in Kosovo were being mercilessly wiped out and nothing was done. Now some slight pangs of guilt, and a report later, the same is being done in Chechnya. Meanwhile, our �civilized nations'� leaders are �accentuating the positive�, and have barely slapped Russia on the wrist for their crimes. All the incriminating information in the world it seems will not change their minds on what should happen. I am deeply saddened.
I pray all the time that I may be able to help, and that my Brothers in Chechnya remain vigilant and strong, that they may win the war, and make a point that we are fighting for the Love of our Lord, and our fellow Muslims; that we win by staying alive to help and we win by Martyrdom, whereas the Russians fight merely out of lack of choice, or low and late wages, if any. We want to fight in the Name of our Lord, and our Lord's blessings are worth more than any amount we can be given, and our Lord's fury is more than any man can take away from us.
Islam has taught me to be thankful in the best of times, and also in the worst. You can never think that you are in as much peril in any sense of the word as compared to millions of people suffering all over the world. Please give whatever you can and make yourself proud to give in the name of God, and the name of truth, honesty and above all, humanity." [Brother AH, Pakistan, 01 April 2000]
"The western world knows each and everything about Islam or about the Chechens and that they are not terrorists. I know millions of them are reading this site. Yet they act as if they don't know anything and still depict the Chechens as terrorists and so on in their newspapers and other media and making people believe that they are losing this war. Why don't they be somewhat straightforward and say that they don't like the Muslims or they are worried that Islam may take over the world?" [Brother HZK, Doha, Qatar, 01 April 2000]
"Your Jihad is a reminder to all Muslims that AL-AQEEDAH AL-ISLAMIAH will always prevail despite the odds...despite the might of a military machine...despite the collaboration of Muslim's enemies. This is the talk all over the Muslim World nowadays, especially during the last Hajj. One thing to worry about however, is to maintain the satisfaction of Allah in every thing we do. I ask Allah to give your Jihad the outcome of the Jihad of Saa�d ibn Abi Waqqas, Abu Ubaida ibn Al Jarrah and Khalid ibn Al Waleed." [Brother ER, USA, 02 April 2000]
"Allah (SWT) will never give them the nasr (victory) over the Muslim. That is Allah's (SWT) rule, but Allah (SWT) has asked Muslims to have SABR (Patience). And as I believe in Allah alone, Allah will never forget his promise, but brothers again SABR, the morning is very near.
The Kuffar and Murtaddeen they never give the good news for us. They only propagate that they have destroyed the terrorist in one corner in the world. Allah (SWT) has told us, that if the Muslim gets some good news, the Kuffar they will be very sad, but if something bad happened to us, they will be very glad.
Brother Mujahideen, make dua for Ulama Al Ummah and the whole Ummah to turn us to His right way. Alhamdulillah, we always hear only khair ( good news ) from you. Brothers, continue to be many men with one heart. At the last I ask Allah (SWT) to give our Ummah a nasr (victory) karib (quick). Brothers YOU are in our hearts, in our minds, we will never forget you as long you believe in Allah and obey Him as He asked us to do. I ask you takwa and SABR, SABR, SABR."

We shouldn't expect more from the people who have miserably declared war on the Almighty, by attempting to flag Islam as a religion of terrorism, and kill Muslims. Fear not, brothers, for on Judgment Day, they will face Allah (SWT) with their sins, and be cursed Insha Allah into the lowest section of the hell-fire, along with the Muslims who stood watching while their fellow Muslim brothers were being slaughtered in Palestine, Mindanao, Bosnia, Kashmir, Kosovo, and finally in the Land of Honour, Chechnya...

Although there is no war in the place that I live, neither is it peaceful for the Muslims. We are fighting an oppressive dictator (even though M'sia claims it is a democratic country). Even this region on this side of the world is in turmoil for the Muslims, Mindanao in Philippines and Ambon in Indonesia. Your stories are a motivation and an inspiration for myself in undergoing this fight against the tyrannical ruler - nothing compared to yours.

It has forgotten its lessons in Afghanistan, unlike the United States, which seems to have well digested its lessons in Vietnam, Lebanon, Somalia etc. By the grace of Allah, Russia will not win. They need a few lessons like the United States to understand that they can never fight people who are not afraid of death. Dear brothers, turn to Allah. Victory is at the corner of the road. The Russians have already been defeated. They are only looking for an honourable way to get out of this quagmire but they do not know how to go about it.

"I hope that Mujahideen of Chechnya will provide some useful lessons to the brothers fighting in Palestine. Every time any struggle took place between the Muslims and the non-believers, there always existed substantial number of HYPOCRITES in the Ranks of Muslims, but as the days passed, people could identify them and their designs, and they had to flee or face the wrath of their people before the Muslims achieved Victory against their enemy. In Palestine the Arab/ Israeli conflict is turning into an unending SAGA, due to some foolish reasons. Firstly because the Israeli agents like Yasir Arafat and company still enjoy some sort of support among the Palestinians and continue to lead them towards the DITCH and there is no sign that they will get rid of him in near future. Secondly the Arabs gave this conflict an image of Arab-Israel dispute instead of JIHAD between the Muslims and the Jews. Allah forgives the mistakes committed by individuals but He does not forgive easily the crimes committed by Nations. When the Jews refused to fight for the Land of Palestine at the time of Prophet Moosa (AS), Allah and His Messenger deserted them for forty years until they came back to their senses and conquered Palestine. In contrast more than fifty years have passed and this Arab-Israeli saga has no end to it. But the Chechens have shown a different example to the Muslims all over the world that the Russian atheists could not destroy the zeal of Islam from the land of Chechnya in their seventy year rule and they could make the Mighty Russians eat the dust for the second time. Surely Allah helps those who strive in His path." [Brother FJ, New Delhi, India, 22 May 2000]

"My brothers, I am in the USA. I am trying to get into University, finish it, and then get back to the ravaged Kosova, and help to develop it, if Allah wills, through pure Islamic ways. Even if I am over here, I never stop wandering, how the soldiers of Allah are doing in their efforts to protect their homes, lives of civilians, and most important the Truth, which Allah has blessed on Us, and the unbelievers are not aware of. When I read the news, that you brothers provide for the world, I recognize the tactics of the Russians, because they are the same ones that Serbs used against Albanians in Kosova. But, in Chechnya there is one difference. The fighters are pure Islamic once, while in Kosova, they were mix of everything, but thanks to Allah's Grace and Mercy, the war stopped there, and Kosova is calmed down right now. Therefore, since there are such soldiers, fighting for Chechnya's freedom, I strongly believe in Allah that His blessing of the victory is going to reach you brothers, which will mean a whole lot to the Islamic world, and to the world overall. I think that we Muslims, after these centuries of shame, and defeat are entering a new era, an era of renewing those real Islamic values, hence getting to the place where we belong. May Allah, give a speedy victory to you Chechen Brothers." [Brother II, USA, 18 May 2000]
"My dearest brothers, I love the freedom fighters of Chechnya and pray for them everyday. May ALLAH grant them swift victory...Ameen! The recent successful offensives of the Mujahideen must have filled every believing heart with joy. It has been reported that the Russians are withdrawing from Southern Chechnya. That is super, but, please be careful as the enemy may be about to employ weapons of mass destruction. Please remain mobile in small groups and remain dispersed. I wish my Salaam could be conveyed to Shamil Basayev and Khattab. May ALLAH keep them and all the brave fighters in his protection." [Brother MZU, USA, 14 May 2000]
"Dear Mujahideen Brothers, Assalamu alaikum. I just want to convey you all how pathetic is the situation of the Muslims today. They really like to live like seculars. Like our Mujahideen brother from Bosnia said is very true. Most of the Muslims are in deep coma. Just imagine how they feel that the act of a person going to Jihad is foolish. They feel that talking about the religion is a waste of time. They love Dunya and working hard for non-eternal things day and night. They never bother about the condition of their oppressed brothers." [Brother ASI, Malaysia, 10 May 2000]
"A nation fighting for their Deen, A faith which before has never been seen. A people who are being tortured, Men, women and children being butchered. Alone in the Caucasus, Attacked for challenging Russia's Laws. A tiny Republic so brave, Has become like a deserted grave. A nation who stood for Islam, Who took the Halal and rejected the Haram. Aren't they our brothers in belief? So why don't we offer them any relief? Being tormented are they for they had, Clearly and without any fear said, Verily, there is no God worthy of worship except Allah; And that Muhammad (SAWS) is the Messenger of Allah. Against this accursed state of tyranny they have fought and will fight, How many a small nation Allah has blessed with might, And has raised them to a lofty height. Those were the ones who distinguished between the Wrong & the Right. Day after day, newspapers are filled with sad, Tales of Horror and Terror aimed to wipe out Jihad. In the recent pages of history, There has been many a Muslim country, Tormented by the Kuffar in the East and the West, Bosnia, Kosova, Kashmir, Palestine and the rest. Have we forgotten the sayings of the Seal of Prophethood (SAWS), That verily the Muslims are one united brotherhood. So what has caused us to be deaf and blind, While the Chechens are besieged and others of their kind. Who, and again who in this Ummah has against Kufr raised a voice? Who, and again who has rejected this world's pleasure and choice? Except for a handful, there is almost none, Who has truly obeyed the Creator of the moon and the sun. Muslims, your brothers, being slaughtered and slain, Yet you look at them in disdain. Who has the spirit to fight for the sake of the All-Powerful? Who has the courage to raise the banner of Islam?" [Brother SZA, Pakistan, 18 May 2000] "Dear Brothers and Sisters In Islam Assalamu alykum, may Allah Bless and Reward you for the fine job you are doing in keeping us informed about what's going on in Chechnya. Salaam." [Brother MA, USA, 15 May 2000]
"All praises be to Allah, the most High. The recent achievements of the Mujahideen over the enemies are the reflections of Allah's Will. When we see the photographs of a destroyed fighter plane or a Helicopter gunship or a burning Tank or disfigured dead bodies of the Russian soldiers, the Russian media and their western allies report that one plane or helicopter is missing due to bad weather, one tank was hit but returned to the base safely, five (or so) soldiers are missing. How nice are these! The enemies do know the fact but cannot tell the truth to their people. What a big frustration is in their heart! At the same time they want to demoralize the Muslims through this false information. But the enemies do not know that we interpret their reports correctly in a reverse direction. As long as a single Mujahid is alive the war will continue and Allah will give the Absolute VICTORY. O Allah, keep all Muslims of Chechnya safe from the enemies, give absolute victory of the Mujahideen over the enemies and give Exemplary punishment to the enemies of the Islam. O Allah, accept our appeal for your mercy - Ameen." [Brother MAM, Japan, 17 May 2000]

"To all leaders of the fight against Russia. To all the leaders of the freedom fighters. Please take this advice, the Spanish in the early years of the 1500s always approached the leaders of the Indian tribes and invited them to peace talks. When these Indian chiefs attended these meetings they were either taken prisoner or killed. Most of the time they were killed. The Spanish always knew they could not defeat their overwhelming numbers and being leaderless the tribes were easily defeated. This was done time after time and this is how the Spanish conquered the Americas. Beware of trickery do not trust them at all ." [Mr RS, NY, USA, 18 May 2000]
"I have written to you many times expressing my admiration for both the Mujahideen and the astounding correspondents of qoqaz.net. I work in the Western media and am amazed every day when I read of new Russian losses and humiliations in Chechnya on qoqaz that never make it into our papers, or our TV shows. When the Americans do anything (like allegedly supporting Muslims in Kosova) we get endless propaganda but when the worlds second largest army is routinely defeated by outnumbered and outgunned guerillas, we don't hear of it. When I showed the "Russian Hell in 2000" video to my colleagues they were shocked. Not by the blood and violence, but by the incontrovertible proof that the Russians are losing in Chechnya. They had believed the lies ... and these are trained journalists!...... Thanks again and victory will be yours," [Mr RC, Melbourne, Australia, 19 May 2000]

Recently, I became more realized that, all happiness comes from nothing but true Islam. And I knew instinctively that you're really doing something . I became very proud of being a Muslim when, the best kind of people, like you, are living and dying only for Allah. Insha Allah, I'll be a true Muslim. I pray to Allah to give you the best grades."

Remember that what the Russians are doing to the civilian population is nothing new....even at the time of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWS) the Quraish used to perform war crimes against the Muslims.

"Salaam alaikum my brave & beloved Mujahid Brothers of Chechnya : May Allah keep you united, healthy and safe and may He keep your faith in Him stronger than iron and steel, Insha Allah. As suspected the predictions of Muslims who are well acquainted with the two faced policies and outright hypocrisy of all of the members of the European Council on Human Rights came true. The devilish members showed their true colours in neither criticizing Russia for its massacre and slaughter of innocent women, children and old men nor not going forward with their threat to suspend Russia from the Council in their recent meeting in Strasbourg, as reported in the BBC today. Indeed they applauded Russia. The council's foreign ministers made no mention of any possible sanctions against Moscow and welcomed Russia's efforts to respond to Western criticism of its war in Chechnya. What makes The European Council ministers ruling all the more incredible and deserving of contempt is that The Council is supposed to be a group independent of the European Union and which was organized for the sole purpose of addressing human rights and democracy issues - but instead their conclusion was that measures have been taken by Russia which respond to the worries of the Council of Europe ...what utter rubbish. Was there ever a doubt that the European Council members who comprise of the main body of NATO countries ever had plans divergent from the Russians and the Serbs ? Given the facts the battle lines are drawn - its Muslims against the whole world, Inshallah with Allah on our side. So come what may, and let them deal, and plan and conspire and lie and smirk, ...Allah has plans for them too. " [Brother TN, NY, USA, 11 May 2000]

May Allah (SW), the Lord of the Mujahideen and Shuhada, shower this Beautiful Jihad with Continuous Victory and may your Victory never cease. May He grant you with the power of the Lions of the past, and may you be successful in driving terror into the hearts of the dirtiest pigs! -Ameen. I read the Chechnya protest. Alhamdulillah, there was a good response outside the Georgian Embassy in London but Wallahi, my dear Mujahideen Brothers and Sisters, most Muslims in Britain do not care! It is very heartbreaking to say that but for the past week or so, voting protests have been at their peak. So-called Muslims with a few hair on their chins, and clad in a suit and tie, protest in loud speakers driving around areas heavily populated with Muslims. These Muslims beg people to vote for people like Tony Blair! Astagfirullah! How can they when he dined with Putin? How can they when he shook hand with Putin in London? How can they when he smiled and joked and talked about how they were going to wipe out every single Muslim from the blessed land of Chechnya? Anyway, whilst the Muslims were protesting outside I came across a prayer that our Beloved Rasool (SAW) used to say when confronting the army. When I read it I thought of you - my dear Mujahideen Brothers and Sisters. The du'a is: 'O my Allah, You are my upper-arm, and You are my triumphant One. By You I move, by You I assault and by You I Fight.' Allahu-akbar! May Allah (SW) bless you in your Beautiful Cause. Wasalaam" [Sister MA, UK, 04 May 2000]

His has no rhyme nor reason, and the ceaseless tortures of hell, will be the abode of him, and his lot. Yours, is as the budding kernel, breaking through the barrier of the fertile soil, making its way skyward, until it reaches its ultimate maturity, from a seed planted firmly in the ground.

May Allah make us among those who dedicate our lives to Him 100% and guide us to the best ways to serve His Cause. O Mujahideen, please pray for us, please pray that we join your ranks soon. Please pray that Allah guides us to correct knowledge about Islam and true faith in Allah, and that we don't spend our lives fooling ourselves. I believe that we need your du'a more than you need ours, and may Allah help us all.

I am not a Muslim, but I respect your demand for your own country, your own identity.

Despite the efforts of the Jewish backed media to use propaganda and hide the real picture of what is going on in Chechnya, many Muslims here wholeheartedly support you.

The Russian dogs and the non-Muslim West are under the illusion of victory but Allah will reveal the truth to them soon, Inshallah.

"My beloved Muslims of Chechnya, Salaam alikum : On April 26 it was reported in The Guardian that The UN Commission on Human Rights yesterday passed a resolution calling on Russia to investigate alleged mass killings in Chechnya. What a joke, its like asking the the Murderer to investigate his own crime and state if it had murdered or not - or asking a killer to maintain a systems of self-checks and balances, to ensure that it would behave in the future - what a farce and what an insult to the Muslim Chechens and indeed any Muslim with any sense and foresight. The resolution, presented by the European Union, also urged UN special investigators to go on fact-finding missions to Chechnya. Undoubtedly as before this will be another 'outing' for the media and yet another chance for 'pictures' and a feather in the cap of politicians of the NATO and UN countries.
However were the victims of any other religion, the UN and NATO troops would have been there with their guns blazing in an instant, as in East Timor. It must be noted that the countries which are currently in US favour, Russia, and India, and the usual filthy rogues, cutthroats and hypocrites, dissented to this UN resolution. But notwithstanding all this farce and utter rubbish doled out by the UN Commission on Human Rights an the NATO and the Amnesty International, the burning question remains, What are Muslim Countries Doing About the Slaughter of their Brothers and Sisters in Chechnya ?? Has any self respecting Muslim asked why must we Muslims be governed and pitied by the same organizations whose interest is to destroy Islam ? Why is there not talk and action on the organization of a Unity of Islamic Nations ?? The Answer is the selfish, useless, worthless Munafiqs (Hypocrites) 'Leaders' are enjoying the soft life of luxury and are happy in the assumption that this could never happen to them. They call themselves "Secularists". When Muslims were being slaughtered in Bosnia, did the Bosnians ever imagine that these 'friends' would turn on them ?? When Muslims have degenerated to a level where they are Muslims only in name, then they should begin preparations for Allah's wrath. Allah has made mention of Munafiks such as these, as Allah will keep on giving them slack and let them fall deeper into their shameless ways, until, Allah will then pull and make them taste in hell, which they have earned. I swear by Allah their time is coming. May Allah protect and guide each one of you, my Brothers, and may he keep you united in your struggle for truth and Islam.

He (Allah) however has chosen you; so be patient; so do not become weak (against your enemy); nor be sad; and you will be superior (in victory) if you are indeed (true) believers. If a wound (and killing) has touched you, be sure a similar wound (and killing) has touched the others. And so are the days (good and not so good), We give to men by turns, that Allah may test those who believe, and that He may take martyrs from among you.

"Dear Brothers, Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatuAllahi wa barakatuh. Once again, it has been proven that those who put their trust in the Almighty alone, can only succeed. Thus, the vodka-bred pork, with their satanic tendencies, are dying by the tens, while you, Brave Mujahideen, are not only inflicting this severe punishment on them, but also granted Shahada, for the lucky ones... Praise be to Allah (SWT), the One and Only. Patience, brothers, for the recompense is victory then Heaven Insha Allah... Fi aman Allah." [Brother AB, Lebanon, 29 April 2000]
"I have been following all the news about Chechnya and its very heart wrecking. I feel depressed as I couldn't do much when I see innocent people were being killed daily by the barbaric Russian terrorists and the whole world is just watching. They liberated E. Timor within 48 hours and they quietly see as Russian terrorist bombs flattening Chechnya and killing of thousands of innocent people. The most hurting thing is how the world is quiet on the rapes of women and girls as young as 13 years. Where is Human rights group? they just making statements, shame on you. Where are aid organizations? everyone gives out stupid comments and keeps quiet. But despite of all this Chechens are fighting for freedom, security, against oppression and genocide, bravo!!!! Chechnya, you people are the real heroes, may Allah bless you with so much of strength Insha Allah the enemy should never ever think of coming back again. May Allah put so much fear in the hearts of Russian terrorists that they shiver in their spines. You have prevailed last time and Insha Allah you will prevail again. The whole world thinks Chechnya is an integral part of Russia but they failed to report that it was an independent country until 1820. I remember during the genocide of Kosovo all the major papers kept on repeating the same lies and justification of killings in Kosovo that since Serbia lost war with Turks in 1700's so they have the right of killing, raping and mass exodus of the whole nation what a shame, to all those journalists and media people. If there is one incident some corner of the world where some maniac who happens to be a bad Muslim kills someone then you see so many runs everyday in the media talking and branding quickly as Islamic terrorist (same as saying peaceful terrorist - Islam means peace), which is kind of stupid to hear from such highly educated people. Now Russian Terrorists for political gain are bombing, using gas, torture, looting, raping and violating all international laws they still are being funded by the West and abetting the Russian Criminals. O brave people of Chechnya fight on, truth always wins (Chechens are setting example to whole humanity) and the most important is Allah is on your side. All the righteous people of the world are with you. Our prayers are with you." [Brother MA, USA, 29 April 2000]
"Assalam Alaikum my brave volunteers of Islam, I know that the thorough faith in Allah is giving you the never ending courage to fight against Satanic Russian forces. I am ashamed to sit comfortably on chair and type this letter you, because you are on the path of practical Jihad. You have the courage and circumstances prompted you to endorse a war upon your enemies, the enemies who killed the innocent children, attacked our sisters and daughters and murdered the weak old people. May Allah sustain the undiminished faith in Him, and Insha Allah may you win. All Muslims are with you." [Brother A, USA, 29 April 2000]
"Asalaamu alaykum Brothers, Allah hu Akbar! The Russian scoundrels are lamenting the day they invaded Chechnya. I have read numerous WESTERN articles in the past few days regarding the continued demoralization of the Russian soldiers in Chechnya who are contradicting Kremlin claims of "no casualties" being sustained in recent Mujahideen Ambushes. Keep up the work my Dear Brothers, you and your families are always in my Du'a Insha' Allah. Salaam." [Brother OK, AZ, USA, 29 April 2000]
"Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatu allahi wa barakatuh. The prophet (SAWS) said: " First, their will be prophethood with you until Allah wishes it to end, then will be a true caliphate according to the way of the Messenger of Allah until Allah wishes it to end, then will be a successive rule with heredity until Allah wishes it to end, then will be dictatorships until Allah wishes them to end, then will be a true caliphate that will reach the entire Earth." (Translation). Sooner or later, with the grace of Allah Subhanahu wata'ala, He will make you, the Mujahideen, the one who starts this rule that will raise His word high: La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammad Rasoolul Allah. By peace or by force, this will happen, and all the so- called Muslim countries, whether their leaders want to or not, will be part of this caliphate, Insha Allah. My brothers who are fighting in Chechnya, may Allah be with you wherever you are, and keep the guidance and patience in your hearts, with which you will defeat the enemies of Islam. Our hearts are always with you, and our hands are always open with du'a to Allah subhanahu wata'ala to grant you and the Muslim Ummah the guidance and victory with His grace. May peace and blessings be upon our Messenger, Muhammad, his family, companions and all Muslims who follow him on the true Path, Ameen." [Brother M, Ohio, USA, 29 April 2000]

"Salam aleykum . There is a big sign of the glory of Allah seen for those who do monitor the events in Chechnya . And all the Muslims may take it as a sample of Allah's help and grace upon those who strive on for the sake of Allah. Really, we should believe that Allah will help those who help His religion ,and the Chechen Mujahideen proved that in the practice. I just sit and ask myself ,why the Chechen Mujahideen can stand the Russian attacks using all possible modern allowed and non-allowed weapons, unlike the other parts of Muslim states, where the Muslims were supposed to do the same ? I'm sure some one would intelligently reply to this question , but the fact which stands before me, is that all the Muslims must learn from Chechens and use them as an exclusive sample. May Allah bless our brothers in Chechnya and may He help us to stand beside them! Ameen!" [Brother R, Pakistan, 30 April 2000]
"Assalamu'alaikum. I'm a student from Malaysia. I really respect the Mujahideen that fight the satan Russia. I always pray to Allah SWT to give the Mujahideen power to defeat the Kuffar Russians.

You are among the most excellent and beautiful people on earth today. May Allah give you a glorious victory over the Russian Kuffar. May you force the Russians out of Chechnya soon, very soon. And may Allah provide you with plenty of food, clothing, medicines and other necessities and bless you all with strong health, endurance and unity amongst you, Ameen. My dearest Mujahideen, we try to pray much for you, day and night. Even my 3 year old son prays for you every night before he goes to sleep, "that Mujahideen will Throw the Russians out of Chechnya and establish Sharia Law there, Amin." It is extremely inspiring for us to follow the news from Chechnya through qoqaz, Subhanallah you bring hope to the Ummah of today. To all my brothers around the world I say start to prepare yourselves for Jihad for the sake of Allah. Remember the Prophet's (SAWS) words: "Whoever dies neither having fought (in Jihad) nor having made up his mind to do so, dies on a branch of hypocrisy." (Muslim). And to all my sisters around the world please don't hold your men back from going out in the Path of Allah. Support them,encourage them to seek the Pleasure of Allah."

"They (Russians) recognize more than 10,000 casualties? And how many more that are coming? I think that justifies clearly setting up of a new message box, or even a Forum especially dedicated to the victims and their families. Let us give those poor people the relief that the Russian authorities cannot give them. They could address their demands to the Western authorities, if their nationals don't hear them. And may be we eventually come to a better understanding of the reason that underlies the genocide that's being committed in Chechnya." [Mr. AB, Barcelona, Spain, 28 July 2000]

Our Muslim nation has almost completely collapsed but out of these ashes, Insha Allah the Mujahideen of Chechnya will lead to the rebirth of Islam, maybe not today, or tomorrow or during my lifetime. But when it happens, the Muslims Insha Allah will remember the Mujahideen of Chechnya and their major contribution to waking up the Muslim Ummah. Most certainly have the righteous Mujahideen made a wonderful bargain with their Lord. A bargain, that those who have faith, cannot lose." [Brother FK, NY, USA, 27 July 2000]
"Dear brothers, assalamu aleikum. These last few weeks, with the ongoing attacks by the Lions of Islam on the Russian army, our faith in the efforts and tactics of the Mujahideen has been amplified. Further, all the rumors about the problems among the different military leaders in the Chechen resistance have proven to be lies, a thing that the Russians excel at, even to their own people."

I would like to be in your place or just with you at least 10 minutes. Subhanallah! Allah chose you!

This light continues to emanate from the web site, uplifting my Iman every time I read it (daily)! It awakens in my weak heart the desire to one day join my brothers in their efforts to make the Word of Allah highest.

"I use to think that the ideal successful life is to find a good stable job, a comfortable home, then get married and raise a family. Give your children a good education so that they can have a bright future. When you retire, you could relax comfortably at your home. Do some Quranic reading and dhikr and that's it. How wrong was I!!! Because in the clear verses of the Quran, Allah the Mighty, says "Those believers who sit back are not equal to those who perform Jihad with their wealth and their selves. Allah has favored those who perform Jihad with wealth and their selves by degrees over those who sit back" [4:95-96]. The ideal successful life is that of a Mujahid. He leaves behind his beloved family, his wealth, his work and the worldly matters to go to Jihad for the sake of Allah. I hope, Allah willing, to be one of those to join the Mujahideen. To all Mujahideen expect two things- Victory or Martyrdom. Either way you are the biggest winner!!! " [Brother FA, USA, 26 July 2000]
"Assalamu alaikum dear brothers, God blesses you and He is helping you. You are fighting in the path of Allah. It is great work. Allah chooses for His work only those He loves.

But very soon by the grace of Allah, brave Muslims like you will come forward for the sake of Islam and the protection of Muslims. Good Muslims from all over the world, please continue with all the duas and prayers.

"Assalamu alaikum dear brothers in Islam, I always laugh about the lies the Russian media creates to show the world that they are in Control of Chechnya. We hear that the Mujahideen number to be around 2500. Every day, the Russians claim that they killed 30 Mujahideen on. Sometimes they say that they killed more than 100 in a single day. Well, if we do very simple math and take the average of how many Mujahideen the Russians claim that they kill everyday we will get something around 27 Mujahideen (just to be fair with the Russians, you will know what I mean). Then if we multiply this number by the number of days this that war has been taking place then we will get 27 * 307 days = a minimum of 8,289 Mujahideen that the Russians have claimed that they killed; then I would've said that the war would've ended long long time ago. But we always hear that the number of Mujahideen is always around 2,500!!!" [Brother H, Canada, 25 July 2000]

"Dear brothers, assalamu alaykum. Allahu Akbar! The news about the infighting between the Munafiqeen is confirmation of the promise of Allah: When the disbelievers ask them to fight against the soldiers of Allah, they turn their backs and refuse to assist. The grey- matter-lacking Russians think that they are protecting their soldiers and at the same time securing Chechnya by asking their 'allies' to do the dirty work for them, but by Allah the Most Powerful, they will fail on both counts, for the Munafiqeen obviously do not need much encouragement to wipe each other out, and at the same time, Allah will strike terror in the hearts of the Russian soldiers, and will help the Mujahideen reach them, no matter where they go and no matter how safe they think they are. This Jihad will not stop as long as there are Muslims who have been true to their covenant with Allah Most High, and as long as we, the weaker Muslims, raise our hands in sincere Dua every night and every day asking Allah the Most Able to speed the imminent destruction of the Russian army and the cleansing of the Blessed Land of Chechnya."

Insha Allah may that become necessary, and may Allah cause hate between them. Allah knows best how to accomplish goals." [Brother M, USA, 19 July 2000]
"Truly you have started the moment the Muslims have been waiting for: you are the true Mu'mins in the face of the Muslims because you have pursued the path of Islam, to liberate and restore the much deserved dignity for our beloved brothers and sister in Chechnya and in doing so have opened the eyes of many Muslims. And you did it seriously and honestly. One only learns from your examples- now there is no turning back. For many years, and decades we have been subjugated, killed, destroyed, ridiculed, our Muslim sisters/ mothers/ daughters raped and killed. The wound inflicted on the Ummah has gone so deep it has concentrated within us. Our faces look happy but inside it is full of pain of the happenings to Ummah around. Its starting to show out now. Our Deen and our Iman has been usurped by the materialists and secularist and the communists. These culprits have gone unchallenged in challenging the believers. They challenged our Deen and our belief; they have abused the Muslims and belied about our Deen in their literature and media deliberately; they have shown no respect to us and have given us labels which is full of arrogance and hatred, our Prophet (SAWS) the dearest of all and the most loved person to the Muslims was not spared, he is bashed and insulted everytime without the slightest guilt, and as though these are not enough they have openly come to attack the Muslims with their military and intelligence- all this because we have declared ourselves MUSLIMS. All these have been contained within the Muslims. The weight of these insults and pains has reached it's limit and as it starts to erupt it will know no boundaries. O Russians and unbelievers there would be defeat for you and know that for a Muslim who has been immersed in all this pain to him is only victory or martyrdom, death is no pain unlike the pains already inflicted. You plan, but remember, Allah is the best of the planners. I pray for you at all times my beloved Muslims in Chechnya, you are always in my heart, it continues to pain hard to read of your oppressions. You have already won the battle and soon the Islamic Khilafa would be established." [Brother SDA, New Zealand, 19 July 2000]
"There is one thing that really annoys me from Western media. They always say that "both sides always exaggerate their enemy's loss while downplaying their own loss". In my view, this statement is only true for the Russians NOT for the Mujahideen. If one trust the Western media that the Mujahideen always "downplaying their loss" which implies the actual loss could be greater, then the Mujahideen would have never been able to continue this war, because the number of Mujahideen is not that great, and this number would have become zero now. In fact, by carefully following what Russians said about their troops, when they lost a lot of soldiers such as in Shatoi, then it is true that the Russians themselves always downplay their casualties. Therefore, if the Russian officials say that their loss is only 5 people, then the true number MUST be at least 5 people times 10 or 50 people. The multiplier of 10 on that figures can be named as "Russian Liar Multiplier". In other words, the Russians lie 10 times less than the facts." [Brother HS, Australia, 19 July 2000]
"Assalamu alaikum, Shukran for an excellent web site!! Reading and listening to some of the Western newspapers and so called news channels/programs regarding Chechnya is a joke with all the lies and deceit!! How the West will do anything to disgrace Islam (may Allah Almighty punish those involved, most severely). May Allah (The Most Great) grant all at Qoqaz.net Jannah for their efforts and may He make the task of destroying the Kuffar easy for the Mujahideen. Victory will soon be yours O beloved Mujahideen!!!" [Brother HW, Johannesburg, South Africa, 18 July 2000]

Today, where the leaders of all Muslim countries lead by their puppet governments have failed to eradicate the curse of Satan from our lands, it is you, O brothers, who have stood steadfast and battled against the enemies of Allah.

Please inform the Mujahideen to always keep the rest of us Muslims in their du'a, so that one day we have the strength of Iman to join them. May Allah help you keep up the good work of providing us with news of the war. I can not express how happy it makes me to read about the Mujahideen!" [Sister RRA, CA, USA, 18 July 2000] "Dear Mujahideen brothers, assalamu alaikum. By the grace of Allah you got the best job in the world, so I want to congratulate you. Your job is tough but also the best. The salary is Jannah and Allah's love and happiness. Every year a new Fitna is coming in the world so I fear much how to escape from this fitna. You are lucky that you are escaping from this fitna. Please pray for the all Muslims in the world. You are in the path of Allah. God will accept your prayers very soon. So don't leave a single cruel Russian army soldier who has destroyed all of Chechnya and the Chechen Muslims, on Chechen soil. The future of the children is destroyed without education and without medical facilities how they are living." [Brother NM, USA, 18 July 2000]
"Assalamu alaikum! May Allah bless all of you for fighting and protecting the people of Chechnya. I have been following this war and I try and read both sides, but the US media doesn't care so I stopped reading there newspapers.

"Assalamu alaikum respected brothers, I just wanted to convey my salams to my Mujahideen brothers. Lately, I am faced with some tests in my life - Alhamdulillah always - I have not forgotten my sisters who are suffering at the hands of the barbarians, and my brothers who are fighting to liberate them! It is their courage and faith in Allah, that when I think of it, makes me feel that whatever I am tested with is NOTHING, nothing at all, compared to what my brothers and sisters are going through! And yet I complain?! May Allah forgive and guide me -- my brothers, you don't know how much your struggle has meant and what a new dimension this has added in life for Muslims like myself, who are full of all sorts of weaknesses. I hope I can learn something of benefit from your steadfastness, which comes only from Allah. May Allah (SWT) help and protect you and grant you a complete and permanent victory (aameen). And if I may ask, please remember this poor sister in your dua. May Allah reward you." [Sister AI, USA, 15 July 2000]
"Salaam alaykum dear brothers and sisters in Chechnya and everywhere else. I would really like to make a point and that is -just like a brother said before- the Chechens and their fellow brethren Mujahideen are writing history and marking it as a start for the restoration of the Caliphate. So let's pray all and make sincere dua that Allah may restore the Caliphate. Let's all work and invest in Chechnya and REBUILD it! Money, Scholars, Business, Technicians, Doctors, Teachers, Media, etc." [Brother KB, The Netherlands, 16 July 2000] "O Mujahideen of Chechnya, you are the brave of the braves. You are the stuff that legends are made of. Your courage and tenacity have no bounds. I salute you! I implore The Almighty to bestow upon you the victory that is rightfully yours. Shame and disgrace on the Russians for they have learnt nothing from history (you cannot beat the unbeatable). Always, wishing the victory of the oppressed over their oppressors."

"Assalaamu alaikum respected brothers, I have been closely watching the news from both sides. First, I just read the news that Kremlin has given Amnesty to 13,000 criminals and my suspicions are that they will be sending them into Chechnya to spread more terrorism. Also beware, they will be using more Chemical weapons as they are desperate to win the war!!! May Allah(SWT) protect, unify, strengthen and give complete victories to the armies of Islam - Ameen."

The Caucasus is indebted to you my beloved brothers. Although I am a Kabardan Circassian, I feel special kinship and brotherly feelings towards you, the bravest people on the planet. You raised the name of Islam high when all other Muslim countries in the world are run by puppets interested only in worldly pleasures. What are yours are the gardens of Paradise where you will be most honoured, even up in Heaven clearly distinguished as the soldiers of Allah, fearing no one but Allah.

Don't forget them, or our fellow Muslims in Kashmir, or Maluku. Remember that apathy is the beginning of the disunity that plagues today's Ummah." [Sister NB, Melbourne, Australia, 14 July 2000] "Long live the free, brave, Muslim Chechen people! It seems to me that for the first time, living in Chechnya is becoming at least as dangerous for a Russian soldier, official or mercenary as it used to be for ordinary Chechen men and women. Try to keep us informed please, as you have been doing with true, up- to-date news, since many people in the world are eager to confirm these relieving long awaited feelings ! In the meanwhile, our politicians follow their terror agenda, they hit and hide, and "their left hand doesn't know whom has their right hand shot to death". An ashamed catholic admirer of yours."

This was very confusing and disturbing to me. I immediately went to the nearest computer and went searching for any articles about the war. Once I discovered your website, I was unable to stop myself from returning to it. I think that what you guys are doing is great.

"Assalamu alaikum dear Brothers, you know, it's really hilarious how the coward Putin sometimes tries to talk tough and declare that he and his demoralised cowardly troops like him (who by the way shiver with horror when the Mujahideen are mentioned to them or when they even think about them) are going to win the battle in the Islamic Republic of Chechnya. You know, I really don't know how people like him think. Is this guy blind or what? Doesn't he learn from history? Look what happened to them in Afghanistan, in Chechnya in '94 and in Chechnya now. What is this guy waiting for? Is he waiting for the last Russian troop to be sent to his mother in a bodybag? Does this coward think that he can defeat the Promise of Allah to the Mujahideen which is " Victory or Martyrdom"? All I can say to such people like Putin is, stop dreaming, and it would be better for you to save your troops, before all the mothers of Russia start mourning the death of their sons."

My dear brothers, with Jihad you must be continue Da'wah also, which is the base of Jihad. Otherwise if all of you brave people with strong Iman are martyred, then who will fight against the enemies of Islam? So you must be leave behind good people like you.

Please understand that what you are doing is creating a new phase in the history of Islam. It is waking us up!! It may be slow but your sacrifices are not going in vain. I am sure and I pray that you will win. What matters is not what the World governments do or do not do. Your courage and sacrifices guided by the Quran will lead you to victory.

May Allah (SWT) bless and reward you all for your encouraging words to the Mujahideen. These emails also serve to encourage those who read your emails (like myself). Just a short, but important naseeha, if I may: please, when you make dua for victory, don't say, "may Allah give you victory Insha'Allah" - You can tell the Mujahideen they will be victorious Insha'Allah, but my dear sisters and brothers, the etiquettes of dua include that we don't say "Insha'Allah" when making a dua - especially an important dua like victory for Mujahideen. Of course Allah will only do what He(SWT) has willed, but our stating such in our dua will water down the dua a bit. This is what I have been taught by scholars of aqeedah and it makes sense. We need the strongest possible duas for our brother Mujahideen - so let's beg, implore, cry, and beseech Allah - and hope that He will grant our prayers.

You will soon be victorious from this battle Insha Allah, and you will Inshallah be granted the highest level of Jannah, Ameen." [Sister AK, Canada, 08 July 2000]
"I can't believe that one billion so called Muslims sit and see without doing anything! I really hope that you will emerge victorious in this war, Insha Allah.

"Assalaamu alaikum...to my dearest brothers and sisters in Islam. Knowing the fact that Jihad has not left the Muslim Ummah gives to one's heart the hope of having a true Islamic state with absolutely no Kuffar rubbish within it's doors. I think all the Muslims of the world are desperate for this and it should be about time. We should not let this century be lost without regaining our Caliphate. Allah (SWT) says He will not change a society until they change themselves... what is going on brothers, why isn't Islam the centre of your lives. What is stopping you my brothers from not joining your brothers in Chechnya. Trust in Allah (SWT) and leave your families in His hands because no matter what, ultimately it is Allah who protects. My brothers, death is never far from your doorstep.....but the best death is that of a Shaheed. Please I urge you to leave this illusionary empty world and fight for establishing your CREATOR'S wishes. Allah knows that if I was a man I would not have sat here typing but would have been with my brothers dying for Allah. Make your only hope and dream to die for the One who gave you this life, this trust....and would it not be the best to have him receive this trust the way it pleases Him the Most High. My brothers stop, stop this moment leading life the Kuffar's way, but be a true slave, submit to Allah (SWT). Please, to all Muslims: MAKE ISLAM THE CENTRE OF YOUR LIVES."

"Assalaamu alaikum, thanks for the photos of yourselves O brave ones; you all look well, alhamdulillah, for it is indeed a pleasure, to gaze in awe upon the faces of truly strong and brave young men. You have reawakened the sleeping giant, and none could have foreseen the crushing blows that you have inflicted upon the Loser Putin these past few days, Masha Allah. Remember the cold and harsh days of this passed winter, remember the cold, harsh days. The Russian mind, body and soul are as a barren waste land, to be used as he who leads them sees fit. They worship might and force, if they but knew that none is mightier than the Most High, Who created the ground upon which they walk, pillage and die. And now, the Loser Putin is pleading for aid from the Church in an attempt to save his wretched skin, yet does he know that none can avert Allah's wrath when it is ordained for him, and does he (Putin) not know that none can prevent the recipient of Allah's grace and mercy from receiving those blessings, if Allah ordained them for one? A final lesson for he who never learns lessons; alas, bring forth all that is within the means of the evil ones from amongst the Americans, Europeans, Jews, Christians and their helpers, for they are by no means a match for the strength and force of the Beneficent, who created them, and those whose powers were more than greater than theirs."

"Thank you for all your efforts putting together the qoqaz websites and maintaining it regularly. I browse through them daily and sometimes could not help tears coming to my eyes upon reading some of the articles. I am truly PROUD PROUD PROUD of the Mujahideen.

The Mujahideen are always winners, that is the tradition of Allah (SWT). Dear brothers you are the honor of Islam. Allahu Akbar!!!" [Brother MA, Algeria, 06 July 2000]
"My dear beloved soldiers of Allah, The world will now know that Islam is not a Religion to be trifled with. No forces on Earth can achieve what you had just done to the Russian forces.

I have read all the emails of support which have been, and are still being sent to you in an expression of support and admiration with your heroic victories and brave stand. May Allah be with you! Keep confident in Islam and in Allah's help! Keep together and do not give up whatever the cost and however long the battle lasts! For you are the Islamic voice which is repressed in both in the Muslims world and the non-Muslim world. Do not, and you do not, expect much or anything from the Arab rulers and governments. For they are traitors and against Muslims and Islam. They are fighting any Muslims who would like to give help to you, simply because your victory against the aggressive Russian army is a victory against all the Arab and Muslim tyrants. May Allah be with you." [Brother CD, USA, 06 July 2000]
"Assalamu Alaykum dear brothers. I have just been watching the former Chechen President on al-Jazeera channel, and the great Mujahid Khattab was also speaking in the program. I felt very proud that there are still people like you in this world, and at the same time, I felt very small and insignificant seeing the dear Mujahideen sacrificing everything in the sake of Allah & their country. I wish I could join you, but the only thing I could do is dua and prayers, and Insha Allah you will defeat the Kafir Russians soon, and Islam will prevail at the end and for ever. Keep on going and don't give any attention to those who oppose Jihad and try to show you as terrorists. These are the feelings of many people here in Palestine, and I hope we could together liberate Jerusalem from the Jews." [Brother AT, Palestine, 06 July 2000]

I have a high regard for these Muslimahs and the mothers of reverted Muslims. O my dear beloved brothers and sisters, Allah (SWT) is so Merciful that He is still sending His warriors, the likes of Umar, Khalid bin Waleed, Ali, Hamza, Hussain, etc., may Allah (SWT) be pleased with them all. Insha Allah, honest historians will add your names along with them. My dear brothers and sisters, you all are remembered in all my prayers. I am very happy with your effort and success in fighting fiercely for Allah (SWT). However, I am also sad and cry about the fact that the rest of the Muslims in the world are sleeping and I wonder when they are going to wake up. I request the armies of all Muslim countries to please wake up and help my brothers and sisters in Chechnya and elsewhere. Your military training and expertise is greatly needed in the Way of Allah. May Allah (SWT) help you in whichever way He wills it. Ameen." [Brother MSD, IL, USA, 06 July 2000]

May the blessings and mercy of the Almighty be on the souls of our martyrs, may the Lord of all creation guide your every step in reconstructing the Ummah, may Allah grant you the victory you so deserve. You have begun a big task that extends beyond the borders of Chechnya. Let the road to freedom for the enslaved Ummah begin in Chechnya and may you be the bearers of the banners behind which, millions of Muslims, around the world are yearning to march. Our honored Mujahideen, keep up the struggle, keep up the fight, for Allah has promised you the ultimate victory and His promise is already fulfilled. I also second my brother AK, from Sierra Leone, to request that the memoirs and also, battle stories to be collected in books and offered for sale. The benefits are multifaceted. It motivates other Muslims to share the responsibility of Jihad, it raises money to support the Mujahideen and it transports us to the battlefield through your eyes.

I'd thought Allah had granted him martyrdom, please let him know that his letters are of great benefit to us even though he may not think so, and that my Family & I make dua everyday for their success in this life and in the hereafter.

You are surely people of the Aakhirah, to say that it is not really your injury and that it is really the Ummah's injury. Subhana'Allah. Allah has blessed you with the qualities to be leaders. Allah has given you the power to be a lion, like He gave Umar al Khattab (RA), Khalid bin Waleed (RA), etc. Allah (SWT) has instilled in your heart love for Him and His beloved Prophet (SAW). Allah (SWT) has instilled in your heart a burning desire to die in His Path and utter desperation to meet Him in the highest level of Jannah. May He bless you all with the sweetness of Shahaadah. Man is only temporary, Allah is forever! Allah will always be there. He will never desert you. The Believers are waiting to see Russia fall once again under the banner of al-Jihad! You, the army of Allah, will 'bite' them once again, and teach them another lesson, like the Mujahideen in Afghanistan taught them. Insha Allah, this will be successful.

I would like to remind us all the morning after the night of Isra'a wal mi'raaj, the Kuffar of that time asked Abu Bakr (RA) what he thought of what the Prophet (SAWS) said and if he believed it. Abu Bakr (RA) said if the Prophet said it, then it's true. If you are a true Muslim there is no reason for you to doubt what the Mujahideen are saying. Because lying is Haram and if you can't make up a story like that for fear of Allah (SWT) how can you think of the Mujahideen who are millions of times better then all of us are lying?

"Dear brothers and sisters, Assalaamu alaikum. I have just received the news of the Russians killed in the latest bombings. I must tell you frankly that nobody would like to be in the shoes of a Russian soldier in Chechnya right now. The Russians are in a death trap. Can you imagine the fear in the heart of every Russian soldier right now in Chechnya? The Russian politicians do not want to swallow their pride to accept defeat. How long can the soldiers accept to be the scapegoats and pawns for the politician power game. Assuming the remote possibility that the Russians win the war; what objectives would they have achieved? They will never be able to walk in the streets of Chechnya. Already now they cannot leave their barracks. Even in these barracks they are not safe. As a Muslim we have the advantage. We know we are born to die whereas the unbelievers believe that they are born to live and to us death is the gateway to the start of Life whereas to them death is an end to life. How can you fight such a people who love death as much as the unbelievers love vodka? The Mujahideen are always winners, they can never lose. May Allah help you with His Angels. I am sure in a war like yours there has been a lot of help from Angels." [Brother MM, Mauritius, 04 July 2000]

I was so happy to hear this big success achieved by our Muslim brothers in Chechnya and straight away expressed my gratitude (shukr) to Allah for answering my daily and hourly prayers that Allah grant victory and success to our Muslim brothers and warriors in Chechnya. I remain loyal to your call for all Muslims in the world to pray (dua) for your success. And I always pray to Allah that Allah instill a tremendous and overpowering sense of fear among all Russian forces, their boastful generals and most of all their arrogant and inhumane president RasPutin that they dare not confront the Muslim warriors in Chechnya.

"Assalaamu alaikum, dear freedom fighters of Chechnya. I have only now come to the grips of what it was like during the last ten days of Ramadhan and especially during the 27th night. We were in Tahajjud prayer and the Imam of our local mosque raised his hands to supplicate to Allah for Chechnya. Every brother in the World should feel and relate to what I say next. As the Imam asked Allah (SWT) for victory to the Mujahideen he began to weep. Then what followed, to an outsider (or an observer) would have looked extraordinary. Rows and rows of young men weeping, breaking down and feeling the pain and anguish of not being in Gronzy with the Mujahideen. It was to me a feeling that cannot be described in words nor imagined, you just have to experience it. Never think this war is bad for Islam or tragic. No indeed this war has awakened far more Muslims then ever before. For every martyr of Islam, Insha Allah there will be one hundred to replace him (Remember that one Muslim brother has a hundred Muslim friends, relatives, cousins, uncles, grandsons who will be awakened forever by his death and sacrifice). I pray to Allah, who is the Lord of the Universe, to give victory and peace to the Mujahideen and people of Chechnya and finally to make us be with those fighting for freedom for Islam."

Indeed, you are the men at a time in which Muslim women are no longer able to give birth to true men. You are the pride of this Ummah after it turned its back to its Deen and went into deep sleep, seeking the dignity from the West and the East. Throughout this war, I could not understand the ignorance of the Muslim media, Imams and organizations toward your issue. However, I understand that you are under aggression for no reason but choosing to live in dignity. Therefore Allah will never put you down and nothing will hurt you. By Allah, you are like the companions in your courage and perseverance. May Allah grant you victory like that He granted to his Prophet (PBUH) in the day of Badr.

The successful attacks on the Russian Invaders in Chechnya by the Mujahideen are being reported daily in the Western Newspapers. May Allah continue to grant you victory after victory, Insha Allah. You are my heroes and my prayers are always with you. JazakumAllahu Khayr and Victory to the Wolves of Chechnya." [Brother OK, AZ, USA, 01 July 2000]
"Assalaamu alaikum, yes, your condition is that of which none who sleeps in a warm bed can imagine. You have forsaken all of this world, which is the reason for being for most others. They toil about with their daily rituals of fruitless sport and play, fooling themselves about that which they owe their allegiance to; nay, theirs is but a brief moment. And it will be as if their lifetime of sport and play lasted for only a single day, when they have reached their appointed term in this world's life. Woe to those who mock Allah's commandments, to aid and supplement he who is Muslim, when that which he is afflicted by is averted for a time by some. Yet lo, do they truly believe that their easy lives will avail them in Allah's judgement upon them; nay. Theirs (Muslims who turn a blind eye to what's occurring in Chechnya) is as he who finds himself trapped in the perfect storm, begging to Allah for salvation and dry earth, but yet when he is brought to dry land, he gives credit for his salvation, to himself. Nay, Allah is beyond need of he who fears those other than the Beneficent, for they will be left at the mercy of those whom they fear. And as for he who fears his Lord in public and in secret, alhamdulillah, for he is on a straight path back to his Lord, and will sit at the feet of He Who Is the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, and all that is between, for all eternity."

"Dear brothers, assalaamu alaikum. May Allah help you in your struggle. Although I cannot be by your side but your worry is ever present in my mind. All the time I am thinking of ways and strategies how to make you achieve victory over the Russian atheists through Allah's Help. The Russians are liars .They are lying to the world and to their own people. It is important that we inform the Russian people about the true situation. Otherwise they will be sending their children to the Russian Death Factory which is Chechnya. Remind the Russian people how their children have been killed in Afghanistan. We should also encourage Russians to desert the army by making them ask for political Asylum in European countries. Normally most European countries and USA accept defectors especially if they are going to be court marshaled for desertion from their army which is fighting an unjust war."

Please pray for all of us who are weak in our faith to be given a chance to participate in Jihad. Tears sometimes linger in our eyes when we hear of the atrocities that are committed against our brothers and sisters. We sometimes feel helpless. Unfortunately, our lack of faith has put us in this position. Insha Allah, Allah (SWT) will give us an opportunity to help our brothers and sisters in need of help. Please pray for us and Insha Allah, Allah (SWT) will allow you to defeat that loser, Putin." [Brother TL, USA, 29 June 2000]

"My dear brothers & sisters in Chechnya, don't you worry , your tormentor, Putin is now running out of money. He couldn't pay the sundry salary of $50 to those 'martyrs' in the submarine. That ill fated sub cost him $ 1 billion. Now the TV tower 'The Pride of Communism' took away possibly another hundred million or more. What's next? Let Allah decide. This criminal Putin has already used some billions to try and kill you all. These were done under the blessings of the Western governments. But for us Allah will suffice. We have already won the war. Its only a matter of time when the Russians will leave Chechnya under humiliation." [Brother MN, Kuwait, 28 August 2000]
"O leaders of the Muslim world�O Mujahideen of Chechnya, of all the people God Almighty has chosen you to take the lead in the Ummatul Muslimeen. Don't look behind ... for who is coming ... and who is not. You are on the path to meet the acceptance of your deed...from One and Only One...Allah (SWT). Who else can reward you But Allah. Who can Honor you better than Allah. Who can listen to you better than Allah. You are on the path to paradise. Why Bother looking...the leaders are not those kings...they ate and have lust for this world so much...now they can't even walk on their two feet...and think with their own little minds...they want to be left behind...they think... they will live for ever. Don't even count on those Generals and so called leaders of the Muslim world...they are puppets...afraid of lightning, afraid of winds, and afraid of darkness. How can one expect them to lead with the wisdom and fight with the strength...against those who have fallen for lust, power, and greed...they behave worst than animals...the very elements that are impressing upon people everywhere in this world. Look at your enemy, they have nothing...but holding on to lies and deception...they are lying among themselves...they are cheating among themselves...they are killing among themselves...they are lost... and in the end will sure be the losers...does anyone think they can take the full wrath of God Almighty. Instead...one should pity them...they have fallen to the depth of Hell...it doesn't really matter how tall they stand...they still look so little...and still going to live in the Hell. Once give a Call for Islam...still they don't listen...O Mujahideen hit them hard...hit them very hard. Hit them from right...hit them from left...hit them from behind...they are agents of Satan...have no mercy on them. This Battle is not over...it is in beginning ...it's lightning in Kashmeer, it's lightning in Philippines and it's lightning in Palestine. Everywhere you see...a new horizon is in sight. A new world order is in making. O my innocent little sisters...O my innocent little brothers...O my helpless elders...bear the pain with the Sabr. We are asking with our cries in every Dua after the prayers to Allah (SWT) to give you the strength...give you the Sabr...give you the Taqwa...... and unlimited courage to Mujahideen."

I am reiterating the message from our brother in Macedonia (Brother BS, Macedonia, 25 August 2000) to serve as a reminder to us all. The Jihad led by our Islamic forces in Chechnya should serve as an awakening to the Ummah's collective consciousness. The reason I am reiterating our Macedonian brother's message is a warning to what is being prepared for the Muslims in Macedonia and elsewhere in the Balkans. Never again should we permit the slaughter of innocent children, women and man of any Muslim country. To my brother in Macedonia I say, you have a job on hand. It is to raise the Islamic awareness where you are. Experience has taught that no matter how much Muslims imitate the life style of others, they will always be targeted, simply because they are Muslims. The color of their hair, skin and outlook is irrelevant. My brother, make sure that you, in Macedonia remain in contact with other Muslims so that when your turn comes, you are not caught off- guard. May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon our Beloved Leader and Prophet Muhammad (SAWS) and may the peace be upon all Mujahideen in the path of the Almighty ." [Brother S, USA, 27 August 2000]

I am a sister from the UK, who has been following your website and the stories and news of the Mujahideen for just over a year now. Subhaanallah, may Allah increase you in good and reward you for all the work you do seeking His Face. You are all, especially the Mujahideen, in my du'aa, be in it my sujood or in the last third of the night, and your work has been such an inspiration to me. There have been many times when I have felt despair as a result of problems in my own life, and not only have the products and stories of the Shuhadaa from your sites reminded me of the triviality and the minor nature of the trials that I face, but it has put things in perspective, reminding me of the suffering of my brothers and sisters and of how much I have to be grateful for. They have reminded me of what is most important: what I am here for and what I am seeking, and inspired me to keep away from any whisperings of Shaytaan. Inspired me to follow in the footsteps of my brothers, if Allah wills that for me. By Allah, my heart yearns to be there or to help this cause in any capacity that I can. My heart yearns for the same thing my brothers' do, and I ask Allah to grant me this, even if I die in my bed." [Sister UH, UK, 24 August 2000]

Living for Allah is the best thing, the only thing in this life, because we are Allah's servants. I did worry when I was younger what I will do that night, where I will go the next day, but today, my only worry is that will you be OK?

The dua appeal on the website is most useful, as in most Arab countries the dua is printed out and pasted on the walls of the mosques. People are responding and there is growing awareness in a lot of places. I do believe that this website qoqaz is one of the best in creating awareness about our Chechen brothers.

"When I was a boy, like most children, I felt invulnerable, as if I would never die; as I grew older I realized that I was not invulnerable. When I embraced Islam, I began to understand about death. Now, I wonder when (if ever) the 'Western rulers' will realize that they are digging their own graves; by their sanctions, by their aggressions, by their attacks, by their tortures, by their murders, by their raping and by their financial support of these crimes. By the grace of Allah, they are creating a new, world wide force of Muslims, who now realize that they must become fighters. Muslims are learning, from the crimes committed against their fellow Muslims, world wide, that they and there families cannot be safe without fighting in Jihad. For many of these Western powermongers, their arrogance will last a very short time; for the rest of them their arrogance will last no longer then the duration their lives on this earth. The few intelligent ones who realize their mistakes and change their policies of aggression will be securing their lives (in this world).

"Asalaamu alaikom, my brother's & Sister's. Yesterday while working at the Mall of America Guest Service Desk a Russian man came up to me where I work and was looking for his mobile phone. He was from Moscow and works for their Internet service, he was here with his family on vacation. In that time we started to talk and he noticed my name, that is M*****. He left for a while and when he came back I had his mobile phone. He seem like a really nice man. The whole time I could tell he wanted to tell me something. And at the last moment when I gave him his phone he looked at me as if he had tears holding back in his eyes and he said to me "I want you to know that most Russian's don't support the war in Chechnya, its something started 200 years ago and its all hatred". He also said something to the effect that "We hate our government for what they do to Chechen people" and after that he left. May Allah Give Victory to you my bothers and sister of Chechnya for victory of Allah is 100%." [Brother MN, USA, 11 August 2000]

"It is my view that the systematic legal violation of human rights that we can witness almost 'live' occurring in Chechnya, resembles more and more the atrocious genocide perpetrated by Nazis in vast regions of Europe, not so long ago. The details are being unveiled to the public and don't cease to raise outrage and shameful thoughts. But the question remains, as yet unanswered: How is it possible that it ever happened? How could large groups of 'normal' people participate or tolerate knowingly in the atrocities? There is now enough evidence for an answer: The Nazi genocide was possible -- and is still possible--, not because of social instability, nor as a consequence of ill-arranged peace conditions for World War I, nor because of proliferation of fascist ideas in Europe at the time (though they all helped), BUT because too many of us were not determined to uncompromisingly identify our hearts with those of the suffering and oppressed. Economy and world affairs will continue to provide good occasions for crime, and reason will continue to find good grounds to justify it. So, the ONLY way out of the ignominy of becoming accomplices is the uncompromising, unconditional, repulsion of violence wherever it takes place. Any price, any risks, shall be paid. Even arms might be proved necessary, even if we could become guilty of the same offense. Safety and well- being shall sometimes be endangered and even the so called 'enemies' of our country and Religion might benefit from our efforts!" [Mr. ABF, USA, 10 August 2000]
"Salaam alaikum my dearest Muslim brothers and sisters: May Allah bless and guide you and keep you safe from all harm, Ameen. In connection with the bombing in Moscow, Putin stated yesterday that his massacre and slaughter of Chechens is a "free service to the Europeans". And as he sheds crocodile tears for all the 'poor' Russian civilians killed, his compassion would make a thinking man sick at the realization that these civilians who died were just fodder to feed the propaganda engines and Mr. Putin's unquenchable lust for power. Just how valuable is the life of an ordinary Russian to his government is well illustrated by not just the canon fodder that Russia makes of its soldiers by sending them to certain death in Chechnya but in October 1993 the Russian government's Alpha and Vympel units displayed their courage and camaraderie with their fellow Russians by gunning down unarmed Russian civilians on the streets of Moscow on orders of the former Russian president Yeltsin, who had issued such an order for the massacre of civilians who came to rally in defense of the parliament he had disbanded in violation of the Constitution. As a result, up to 800 innocent people died. So much for Russian compassion. Are the Russian people so dumb that they can not see through Putin's and the Russian government's tricks and smoke screens? Are there no intelligent thinking people left in Russia?" [Brother TN, NY, USA, 10 August 2000]
"Assalamu alaikum everyone. All praise be to God alone. I read the headlines posted "Thursday 10 August 2000 The Mujahideen Deny any Relation to the Explosion in Moscow." I knew beforehand that Muslims are innocent. The same thing happened here in Oklahoma City, USA many years ago until the case was solved. As for the Russian government, they perhaps planned it to lure the docile Russians into more attacks on poor Muslims in Chechnya. May they perish in their own plans, Amin." [Brother S, USA, 10 August 2000]
"Salam alaykum, first of all the Jihad in Chechnya is great inspiration for all Muslims around the world. May Allah increase the Iman of Mujahideen and lead give them the final victory. Very briefly I want to mention about the explosions that took place in Moscow few days back. When Putin the loser started the war last August, and I am quoting this from Western media, his support was around 80% from Russian people. Now just few days back the same Western media reported support of 20%. These last explosions in Moscow is a mere last minute attempt by Putin the loser to increase support. I am living in a city bordering Georgia and we hear lots of genuine stories about savage Russian soldiers (who can only attack civilians and elderly) told by Chechen refugees who unfortunately flee the savages. Western media and even Turkish media never mention this. Surely the Victory is for believers." [Brother TIA, Turkey, 10 August 2000]

"Assalamu alaikum. To all my brothers and sisters, I would like to point out that the war in Chechnya is a physical war for our brothers and sisters over there. For us it is a spiritual war ... a lesson ... an inspiration for us to change for the better ... to learn from what is happening over there and to prepare ourselves by coming back to Allah. Ever since the war started late last year I have repented and came back to Allah ... because knowing that I couldn't be a soldier in Chechnya, I decided to make myself a soldier of Allah in my own country ... and there is no better weapon than the Words of Allah and to learn the Deen of Allah."

I pray that Allah grant you victory and reward you for bringing back to the Ummah, the lives of the Sahaba. They were few and you are few but Allah granted them victory and He will grant you victory soon because both you and the Sahaba have the same purpose of life and that is to raise the name of Allah above all. I can't help thinking if part of the Ummah has woken up to their mission in Chechnya and how they managed to defeat the Russians what would happen if all the Ummah wakes up?? I pray that Allah wakes the Ummah up from its deep sleep and increase the number of people who are like you. Ameen." [Sister RA, UK, 10 August 2000]
"Dear brothers, assalamu aleikum. Again and again, the Russians plant bombs in their own capital, and accuse the Chechen Lions. Haven't they understood yet after one year of fighting and not less than 10,000 bodies shipped back to Russia, that these Lions don't commit such acts, and would rather meet in the open field, with the only wish of being granted the benediction of Shahada? I really pity the Russian people, apparently worth nothing for their own leaders. Victory is ours." [Brother AB, Lebanon, 09 August 2000]

"I am not a Muslim, but I do believe in your cause! Your action's are just! My thoughts and prayers are always on you! From what I have gathered about the Jihad in the Caucasus, is that the Mujahideen are outnumbered 40 to 1 and have the Russians in fear and disarray! That should be a great honor in itself!

"Dear fearless Warriors: it is a never-ceasing amazement how the publicly- acknowledged, corrupt government of Russia still attempts to blame all atrocities against the Islamic Warriors fighting (and defeating) the raping, lowlife troops of Putin, the KGB Liar.

Yes Insha Allah, the Mujahideen might be a few in number but enough to handle the clusters of Russians which outnumbers the Mujahideen, as you have the Power of Iman. We pray for you O Mujahideen, May Allah (SWT) unite your hearts and disperse the Russian clusters, may Allah (SWT) provide you the unseen help which He provided to the believers in the battle of Badr, may Allah (SWT) provide the security to the women, children and elderly Muslims of Chechnya and else where in the world, Ameen."

Not desperate to win that is, but desperate to save their filthy hides before they get blown to Hell. The Russians failed when they used the army, they failed when they used the Special Forces, they failed when they used the traitors, and By Allah Most Powerful this last-ditch attempt will fail.

"Salam Aleikum to my brothers in Islam. Our Muslim Nation has almost completely collapsed. There is not a single Muslim nation that is willing to help the Muslims in Chechnya. They're more afraid of the West while they should be afraid of the Unique Creator of the Worlds! Today the World is being ruled and decided without the Muslims. Insha Allah, the Mujahideen of Chechnya will lead to the rebirth of Islam, maybe not today, or tomorrow or during my lifetime. But when it happens, the Muslims, Insha Allah, will remember the Mujahideen of Chechnya and their major contribution to waking up the Muslim Ummah. Most certainly have the righteous Mujahideen made a wonderful bargain with their Lord. A bargain, that those who have faith, cannot lose. They will serve as an example to future generations, as we haven't forgotten the first Muslims at the beginning of Islam, who were also being persecuted and strove hard. I thank Allah for having united and supported them. I thank Allah for having created us, and I hope He will awake the Muslim Ummah soon because a lot of wrong has been inflicted upon us. What is happening now is a lesson to the Muslims and a sign to the worlds; remain united, fear only Allah, the unique Creator of the worlds and in Allah let the believers put their trust. To those of the Qoqaz.net website... keep up the good work!

"May Allah bless, guide, protect and unite all Muslims fighting in His name in Chechnya and the world over. It is incomprehensible why the "civilized" world remains quiet and only raises its condemnation on paltry and insignificant issues. Even the usually vocal western "Women Rights Groups" have turned a blind eye to the slaughter, murder and rape of Muslim women in Chechnya by the Russian devils. It seems that only when women's rights to debauchery, nudity and abortion as a self-expression is challenged by a Muslim government, then these human rights and women's rights groups declare a Western media war on that country. The world and the Munafiq countries have already forgotten the slaughter and mayhem inflicted upon the Muslims of Afghanistan, Bosnia and Kosovo by the filthy, murderous and cowardly Russians and their mangy filthy partners, the Serbs, and they now turn a blind eye to the horrific annihilation of the Muslims of Chechnya. But will I forget, the scenes of pieces of Muslim flesh and blood plastered on the walls of the basements in Grozny, after the coward Russians threw hand grenades at those seeking shelter there, or the raped, mutilated and torn body of the sister after the Russians tore her apart with tanks, or the headless body of the 2 year old whose head was cut off in front of his father and mother by a Russian mercenary in Bosnia or the burnt and charred remains of young Muslim boys and old men burnt alive to death by the Russians and Serbs in Bosnia , Kosova, Afghanistan and Chechnya ? - NEVER. Never ever will I forget and never, ever will I forgive for as long as I live and I will make sure that my generations to come never forget the complicity of the UN and the European Union in the outright murder and slaughter of my Muslim brothers and sisters by these monsters and devils known as Russians and Serbs. I ask all Muslims of the world now, will you forget and forgive ? will you go on sleeping ? will you enjoy your comfort knowing what our Muslim brothers and sisters are going through in Chechnya ? how can you, if you have even an iota of decency and a conscience ?

It is vital that we remain steadfast to Allah (SWT) and His ways, and that we remain united in the face of adversity and adversaries. So long as we remember the above places and events, we shall continue to be imbued by Allah (SWT) in the ways of the Mujahid: our material lives are not worth even a fraction of what Allah's heavenly blessings await for those of us that fight in Allah's ways. This is His eternal Promise and Blessing, as appears in the Holy Qu'ran! What and how will you answer to Him at the Day of Judgement? He will be seeking from you the obvious answers to very simple questions (e.g.: What did you do for Me?). Those answers that you should have led and experienced during your worldly existence! This planet earth was created entirely by Allah (SWT) and it belongs wholly Him, not to us; Allah (SWT) in His infinite wisdom put each and every one of us on this earth for a reason: we are to to be in awe of Him, to worship Him, to behold His magnificence, and to fight for Him, and only Him...and we have only 80 years or so to see and understand and appreciate Allah's magnificence. For the Mujahid and the Shuhada (whose personal sacrifices far outweigh their worldly gains and physical entrapments), 80 years is more than twice what they really need! The vast majority of us, even most people who live many years over 80, still remain blind. May Allah (SWT) have mercy upon these people. We all can see who is the wrong party and who is the right party in this great war being fought in the Caucasus. The Russians are the aggressors against Chechnya, they want to establish an empire at the close of the 20th Century, they have the world's largest country yet they are astonishingly and disgustingly greedy and want to strangle the life out of a country and a nation which is hundreds of times smaller than Russia. My message goes out to all peoples, everywhere, who value freedom over tyranny, oppression, repression, and suppression, and liberty over slavery, serfdom and servitude. It's better to have lived the life of free men than to die in the clutches of bondage and colonisation and oppression. It's better to die fighting in the ways of God than to live under the fake lordship of an oppressive power. Please pray to God that the freedom fighters of Chechnya are victorious in their undertaking. Long Live Free Chechnya!" [Brother TR, Montreal, Canada, 28 September 2000]

"Assalaamu alaykum my brothers. My heart wept when I saw your site, even though you have been victorious and I know the Almighty will grant you ultimate victory, I cannot help but imagine what sacrifices you have made and what pains and strife you have gone through. My father once told me that there are 3 ways of making Jihad. With the body, the way you have done so well over these years. With the tongue, like many great Imams and Shuyoukh who speak up against the Kuffar. And also with the mind, in your duas and asking Allah to make each day comes closer to victory. I will make dua for all you in my heart so that Allah may grant you each one Jannatul-Firdous and that each and every one of the Ulamah become a Mujahideen in some form or other and may they all be bestowed with the great honor of martyrdom. My father also says that the only man who will want to die again when resurrected on the day of Kiyaama, is the martyr. I myself feel really bad now about the life I live. The "Western" life. But know this, my heart will from this day on always be with you and my spirit will fight by your side in your struggle. The Islamic Armies across history were and always will be the most fearsome fighting machine the world has ever seen and we will be victorious."

"For My Beloved Mujahideen:
I love you my brothers, I hold you so dear, For you are glad tidings, so lend me an ear, And hear the good news of a blessing so clear, Of the help from Allah, and a victory near.
For you is no grief, nor there any fear, So keep up your spirits, and fight O my dear, For the best of the rewards is for you, so let's cheer, At the help from Allah, and a victory near.
Allah has loved you, so why shouldn't we? Love you and cherish you and be ready, To help and support you from far and from near, O the help from Allah, and a victory near! So fight O Mujahid, do not turn your back, For you have the blessings your enemies lack, The Pleasure of Allah you're holding so dear, And the help from Allah, and a victory near.
So fight O Mujahid, until you subdue, Your enemies and their supporters too, While Believers pray for you and enemies jeer, Comes the help from Allah and a victory near.
Allah is your Lord and Islam is your way, Only for this you are slain and you slay, These are the principles you must adhere, For the help from Allah and a victory near.
So come let us call on our Lord, O Allah, Please help and protect our brothers, Allah! Accept their sacrifice and prayers, Allah! And grant them a victory - complete and clear, And let them be thankful to You when they hear, Of the help from Allah and a victory near. O the help from Allah, and a victory near!

"To all my brothers in Chechnya, first of all I'd like to tell you that I love you for Allah and if I had today a way to come to you I would. My brothers, God has given you the blessing and duty of Jihad in a time that the Muslim world has forgotten it. Wallahi, I try find Chechnya news everyday to know the situation of the my brothers and sisters in the Jihad. I have faith that Allah will help us through your hands and will save the Muslim Ummah because of your giant Iman. I promise to make du'a for you every time and please make dua for us since your du'a is likely to be accepted by God because you're risking your lives in His path."

"My dear brothers in Jihad, assalamu alaikum. All Muslim brethren are suppressed and branded as fundamentalists, terrorists and whatnot in this modern civilized age by these Christian and Jew Kuffar. O Muslims of the world, where are we ? Are we still sleeping, until we become a test of the Kuffar's weapons ? Americans tested their mighty weapons against Afghanistan, Libya, Sudan, Iraq etc. Serbia against innocent Muslims within Bosnia & Kosovo. Jews against Palestinian Muslims, Fundamentalist Hindu government against civilian Kashmiris. In the past Russia against Afghanistan (from where they received a stunning and humiliating defeat) and now against Chechens. My heart bleeds when I read daily the worst atrocities committed against Chechen Muslim mothers and sisters. May Allah (SWT) show us the Light. Brothers and sisters I will make dua for all Mujahideen throughout the world. May Allah give you a swift success with a lesson to Islam's bitter enemies. Fight on my brethren as Allah is with you. Victory be yours, Ameen." [Brother ST, India, 26 September 2000]

I pray that Allah rewards you with new and marvelous victories each and every day. May He (SWT) help you in all your actions and bring utter destruction to the enemies of Islam and their collaborators. May He grant you a most supreme Victory and reward you handsomely both in this life and in the hereafter. My prayers are for you and your families, may Allah reward you and them for carrying the banner of Islam so courageously and giving inspiration to those like myself the hope that one day, Insha-Allah, we will have the courage in our hearts and the ability to serve in the path of Islam in an equally fitting manner. You have my utmost respect and I pray to Allah to grant you soon a most glorious Victory. Ameen!" [Brother SHF, Birmingham, UK, 26 September 2000]

Wallahi, I cannot go to sleep unless I go to this great website to see how many Kuffar have been killed each day in our land, the land of Chechnya. My brothers in Jihad all the Islamic countries have forgotten about you, but do not forget that Allah never forgets about you. I will continue to make dua for all of you and the Ummah.

I am a recent revert of almost three months, and only today (9/23) did I receive any information into what the entire conflict is about with Bosnia and Chechnya. I knew that there was a war going on over there but I didn't know why or what had happened for it to all start. I felt so ashamed when I asked a brother and sister about the issue and asked them to explain it to me. Here I am...crying over the fact that I am "facing Jihad" with my non-Muslim mother and a non-Muslim society, when across the globe there are brothers and sisters that are dying everyday. My heart, tears and my deepest prayers are with those that pave the way of Allah (SWT) with their blood, sweat, tears. May the gates of Jannah open willingly for those that fall upon Fitrah....Ameen." [Sister MM, USA, 23 September 2000]
"Dear Brothers, assalamu aleikum. I watched some time back, a documentary about the genocide committed in Bosnia Herzegovina, under the nose of the so-called "advanced, democratic" nations, and felt extremely frustrated; after all these years, I just can't get over the fact that brothers there were resisting the might of the Ex-Yugoslav army with hunting rifles.... I keep seeing the faces of these courageous brothers, under fire just because they refused to give up their Faith. At this time, I said never again, Insha Allah, will I be a spectator of the genocide of any Muslim brothers worldwide; and you have helped me, along with millions around the world, feel involved. Yes, we are doing one of the weakest degree of Faith, just expressing orally our despair, but at least, we are granted this opportunity." [Brother AB, Lebanon, 25 September 2000]
"I am from Indonesia. For my beloved brothers, I send my dua to you all and pray that you never give up in Allah's way. Be a good Muslim or die as Shuhada. Destroy all enemies give them terror everywhere. Someday I will join you if Allah permits me and He give His guidance to me." [Brother BA, Indonesia, 24 September 2000]
"Assalaamu alaykum to my dear Muslim brothers and sisters. I am a Muslimah from the US and I am 14 years old. Here in America my Islamic private school is praying for you always and now we keep calling the US congressmen and senators to tell them to help you. Allah is the Most Merciful and even right now Allah has sent down angels that are standing side by side with the brave Mujahideen. I know I am not there helping, but my heart and tongue that are in Chechnya & are in constant dua. I feel terrible about what's going on in Chechnya. One day my teacher from my Islamic school was reading some of the things that were going on there and I was horrified! I mean why can't all the Muslim countries get together as one Ummah? Why wont no one help? I truly want to help... My heart is crying out for the Muslims that are suffering. They are my brothers and sisters! I can't help physically so I will do Jihad of the heart and tongue. I will pray every moment Insha Allah and remind others of what's happening. But one thing we Muslims must remember is Allah is always testing us. We must face everything with the intention and goal of passing the test. May Allah (SWT) bless the Muslims in Chechnya and may He increase our patience." [Sister, FZ, VA, USA, 23 September 2000]

But in today's world the unbelievers are propagating that the Mujahideen are doing terror, and creating much confusion among the Muslims. But you are fighting in the Cause of Allah. I am praying for you to win the war against communists. Thanks to the qoqaz site which has given the real information about Chechen Mujahideen. If this was not available then confusion would have been created among the Muslims." [Brother ES, Mumbai, India, 21 September 2000]

"Assalaamu Alaykum. Hardly was I halfway through the study posted on your website and I was convinced of the permissibility of the Martyrdom Operations. The stories provided to support the idea (and the action) were so familiar to me that I keep asking myself why I never thought of them before in connection to these brave operations. As to the people who emailed you against the Martyrdom Operations, I am not surprised. Didn't some people do the same when our beloved Mujahideen executed the Russian POWs? Perhaps they thought the guns the Russians (from the OMON police) were carrying were meant for cockroaches. Never mind brothers and sisters you are doing a great work. My prayers are with you. May Allah the Greatest humiliate the Russians in the hand of Mujahideen. Ameen." [Brother SS, USA, 20 September 2000]
"Dear brothers, assalamu alaikum. When I first checked your site, I promised myself that not a day would pass, without sending you a message of support, thinking that we were only a few interested in the Jihad going on in Chechnya. 3 million hits later on your Arabic site, I'm proud, really proud of my fellow Muslims, from all over the World, who try their best to show their interest, support, and enthusiasm. This is Insha Allah a good sign, and may the Almighty unite the Nation of Faith and Belief on the right track, the Sirat El Mustakeem." [Brother AB, Lebanon, 20 September 2000]

Alhamdulillah, the hypocrite of Fon Yurt was arrested and liquidated. Your website is credible!!! We hear all sorts of nasty news from the Kuffar (media outlets), they are all liars. Of course, Allah (SWT) has revealed that to us in the holy Quran. When the Kuffar come out of the woodworks and flat-out describe your website as "astonishing," "professional," "slick," "credible," and "must see," it is a credit. At my place of work the people are curious, wanting to know how a small group of Muslims are keeping the 'mighty Russians' out of a land area, the size of Connecticut???

"It was great to hear that my (previous) message was read and appreciated: as for the Russian Federation, as you said, a so-called 'civilised nation', it is rapidly draining away any and all decent-minded western inclination to regard it as civilised. You might have read, or heard of, Daniel Goldhagen's book on (subtitle) 'Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust': his thesis is very relevant to Russia today. That is, the few and insignificant numbers of German citizens willing to counter or even verbally condemn the Nazi genocide simply pointed to a an awful malaise in the entire nation itself. I myself am ashamed, as an Australian, that Russia is represented in Sydney's Olympic Games. I can recall the howls of anguish and outrage in this country when debate erupted over attendance at the Moscow Games in 1980: Afghanistan was pitied for it's sufferings, and Chechnya receives not a word. I have written to the Minister of Foreign Affairs demanding a written explanation of official Australian policy on occupied Chechnya (or, rather, the apparent lack of one at all) and I will not accept silence as a reply from our Government. For what it's worth, I hope that the little assistance I can offer as an advocate for Chechen freedom here can do something to combat the disgusting lack of broad concern with Russian genocide in this country. God be with you." [Mr. MW, Australia, 19 September 2000]
"Assalamu alaikum, I was very disturbed to read your recent news (September 17, 2000) about Russian tyranny toward Chechen civilians. May Allah punish them to the full extent. I understand this has been the case with the Russians all along that they spread fear toward the civilians, rather than the Mujahideen. However, as I read along the western side of the story, this has become a fact to all of us. In the story, the Russians admit that they can't defeat the Mujahideen. Therefore, they turn to the civilians as the target to avenge the loss and eliminate future Mujahideen born from the Chechen civilians. I just wish to share the news so that you can also share it with other Muslims around the world. I pray that Allah will guide and help the Mujahideen for their actions and defeat the enemy of Islam."

"Dear brother Mujahideen, assalamu alaykum. Whenever I look at the sorry situation of the Muslim Ummah today, I start wondering about how the Muslim Empire is supposed to spread the world of Islam before the Last Day, and I start thinking about how many people will be prepared to support and fight with the Mahdi when he comes. Then I remember the Mujahideen in Chechnya, those who were gallant enough to leave their jobs, homes and families to answer the call of Jihad, those who were believers enough to take up arms against the Kuffar and those who were brave enough to throw their very lives against the odds. O brother Mujahideen, in your sacrifice and solidarity lies the future of this Faith, so strive forward across difficulty and hardship, for after the assured victory in Chechnya and Russia, the rest of the world is waiting to be freed from the shackles of slavery and Disbelief, waiting for sincere Muslims to raise once more the flag upon which is inscribed La Ilaha Illa Allah, Muhammad Rasool Allah."

New conflicts are lurking in Central Asia which involves; Tajikistan, Kyrgistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakstan, XinJiang (north west China). Regions where the Muslims are rediscovering their roots. War is being waged everywhere against the Muslims: the Philippines, the Balkans, Kashmir, Indonesia, etc. These are signs that the Muslims are regaining conscious from their deep sleep. We should all unite and fight the unbelievers with every weapon that exits! As they are fighting us right now, with everything that is at their disposal. To my younger brothers: "Work hard, study hard!!" As one day when the Ummah will be reunited, you will work hard for future generations. As Brother Basayev put it in an interview: "I would say to all young men, particularly young men who are not well trained, that Jihad will not end over a day and a night; Jihad (as stated in the Prophetic saying) will continue until the Day of Judgment; Jihad will continue until Muslims liberate their land and re-establish the Khilafah (Caliphate Islamic state).

I pray to the Almighty Allah (SWT) for the safety and well being of all my Muslim brothers, sisters and respected elders in Chechnya at these difficult times. I also pray to the Almighty for all the Muslims in the world to wake up from the false ideologies of this world set by the Kuffar and to unite and help our Muslim brothers in any way possible.

Even though, I am miles away from you, my heart is always with you. Dear brothers, as Allah has promised us, the Muslims, that the victory lies with those who are trying to spread the Word of Allah and the Deen of Islam, therefor the victory is for Islam. The Word of Allah is much stronger than the power of tanks and planes. Therefore be steadfast and victory is ours. At the end, I pray to Allah to increase our Iman so we can be beside you in body and in soul." [Brother HJ, USA, 11 September 2000] "Dear brothers, if a day or two passes by and I have not checked the news about the Chechen Jihad, it feels as if a part of me is empty and I'm uneasy until I log in and check the news. It is like a craving, a passion, or more so, an addiction - that I think will not be satisfied until I can actually present my life and everything I have in the path of Allah. I just pray that Allah (SWT) keeps me and my family true to this and accepts our humble offering from all of us. Please, dear brothers and sisters if any read this message, please make dua that Allah accepts us in His noble path like He has accepted the Shuhadaa that He is well-pleased with (aameen).

Everyday my heart is in total grief and agony in not being able to be besides you. Everytime that I read the news of the Mujahideen I am convinced that I am the greatest hypocrite in the world, claiming to love Allah and His Rasool (SAWS), yet a total failure in sacrificing to uplift the Deen of my Allah. My entire body is screaming for Jihaad yet I am caught up in this life of deceivement and temporary enjoyment. Pray fervently for me for your duas are accepted at this stage, that Allah fulfills my wishes and the wishes of my family for martyrdom.

"Salaam Alaikum true Muslims. You are suffering in Chechnya because other Muslims including myself are cowards and we do not have Guts. We all make excuses about our Muslim Leaders in our Muslim countries (Basically leaders are the reflections of the people whom they rule) and all the conspiracies facing the Muslim Ummah at large. The fact is we as a global Muslim nation are corrupt and away from the teaching of Islam. Time and again we are proving, Muslims as a Ummah do nothing for the Ummah. Shame on Muslim Ummah. Long live Chechen Muslims. Keep fighting my Brothers, fight with all means possible, fight with every resource you have, fight till you Conquer Russia and Convert Kremlin (Russian Barbarians' Den) to a Mosque and give Adhere (Call for prayer 5 times a day) from top of the Kremlin."

"We fail to understand why the Muslim world is silent over the criminal activities of Putin. Our brothers, sisters and children are being tortured ,maimed, raped and killed but we don't have even words of Sympathy for them. Muslim countries dare not speak against Russia. Possibly we are not aware of the history. Chechnya was an independent Country and shall remain so despite all sorts of atrocities being perpetrated against the civilians. I know what sort of treatments are meted out to the prisoners in the camp and inquisition center. You may have read and I see every day here. At times blood gets boiled when you see the atrocities in the name of investigation. I can't imagine what all these Russian must be doing with the Chechens in the concentration camp. Believe me a self- respecting man will prefer to die rather than subjected to inhuman treatment. We are free people so we don't realize their pain and anguish. I pray to Allah for victory of Chechen and early restoration of peace tranquility and establishment of Islamic state." [Brother M, Indonesia, 08 September 2000]
"Salaam alaikum my dearest Muslim brothers and sisters: Our prayers continue and will never stop. I feel most heavy for my 13 brothers in Suti-Yurt who are no longer with us, but then I feel better when I realize that Allah has said that the Shuhadaa are not to be regarded as dead because they are not. Alhamdulillah, they are at such a lofty place and have attained such an incredible state that we can only try to imagine. I only hope that we miserable, weak, useless, soft bellied, lazy, Muslims who remain in our comfortable homes like little girls are at least given a chance to gaze at their wondrous state on the Day of Judgment and feel the incredible pang of regret that we did not even raise our hands in supplication when we had the chance, which was the least we could do. That will be the day of regrets for us when these wonderful Shuhadaa will recline in the comfort of the Heavens. May Allah forgive and enlighten us, and may He stir our hearts enough to enable us to break out of the shell of shame we have created for ourselves. May Allah give my Shaheed brothers Jannat-ul-Firdaus and may He keep you all, healthy, united and safe." [Brother TN, NY, USA, 07 September 2000]

Then Serbia started a new test on the Bosnian Muslims. Again Serbs in Kosovo, Jews against Lebanese civilians, godless Hindus against the Kashmiri civilians, and Vodka Russians against Chechen Muslims. Are all these Muslims terrorists?

"Assalamu alaikum to all brothers and sisters in Chechnya and all around the world. I looked over the pictures and videos on this site, and many things came over my mind. I felt sad because so many Muslims were killed for political reasons. I mean, most people don't know what kind of sick games are played over places like Bosnia, Kosovo, Chechnya and many other places. The world lets the Muslims in Bosnia die, then in Kosovo they stop it when its already half way through, and then in Chechnya they quietly cheer for the death of the Muslims and act as if nothing important is happening. I get so mad at all these people, but then remember that that everybody will get what they deserve. If anybody from Chechnya reads this letter, I want you to know that you have my full support. And if I could I would come fight with you. May Allah bless you." [Sister JS, NC, USA, 04 September 2000]

Either way victory is yours my beloved brothers, either in this world or the next. Evidence that Putin the murderer of women and children is running scared is abound in the news media. He has increased his usual appeal for European support by fervently claiming that he is protecting the West from the Muslims. I guess he knows that his time is up because he has placed restrictions on the entry of all former Soviet-bloc states and increased border patrols in anticipation of attack on Russia itself.

I am extremely proud of the Chechen lions who are so less in number, have so little ammunition and arguably have no transport system but are showing hell to the Russians. Go on Mujahideen, you are Allah's army and you will be never defeated. There is no power born on earth to defeat the "Army of Allah." Show the dirty Russians that Islam can never be suppressed. Defeat the Russian forces and take over the pious soil of Grozny. And why only Grozny take over Moscow itself. Show the world what Mujahideen are made up of.

It should stop now with Russia having to pay billions in retribution for your country to rebuild and the Russian military should have to go on trial for crimes against the Chechen people. The United States should hold up money for Russia till they get out of Chechen state and start to repair the damage they have done and give your country its freedom. Russia should not try to force themelves on any other nation just as the United States should not do. I feel we as the United States should be backing you in this fight for you country.

"I would like thank the Mujahideen for fighting against the russian terrorists. And I would like every muslim in the world to spread the news out about Chechnya. People must know, the russian terrorists are hiding the truth and raping our muslim sisters in their torture camps! And how can the muslim countries let this happen! If i was a leader of a country, I would of started a war with russian barbarians. I dont care if their army is larger. Like every muslim should, We fight to death agianst the enemies of Allah. I am only 16 years old, and I know everything, what the zionists are doing by supporting russian terrorists. As soon as I can, I will come to Chechnya and become a Mujahid and fight the enemies of Allah, To the Death! There is no god but Allah There is no god but Allah There is no god but Allah. Fight to death!"

Whenever I have a break from work, thoughts of you automatically fill my mind and my heart. O my brothers, what can I say?! I don't know. I just wish I can be a part of your noble cause and that Allah, The Greatest, Most Kind, raises me up to be in your ranks and guides me and my family to whatever is Most pleasing to Him (ameen).

May Allah give the whole Ummah the strength and Imaan to join these brothers and to help them in any way possible. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the brothers responsible for bringing us this information." [Brother SM, Birmingham, UK, 15 December 2000]
"Dear brothers and sisters, What you have done to inform the public about the Taliban is a very good thing. Many people here in the West have always been hearing negative things about them and it is about time someone helped broadcast their cause in true form to all the Muslims and people throughout the world. It has lots of useful information which is good for the people to know and read about and not the negative publicity they hear from these Western news fronts. We should all try to support the Taliban Insha Allah. May Allah preserve the Mujahideen in Chechnya and in Afghanistan and all over the world. Also our brothers and sisters at Qoqaz and Azzam." [Brother SR, USA, 11 December 2000]
"Dear brothers, assalamu aleikum. We are close to the nights of Tahajjod prayers and supplications, our version of the Atomic weapons. For if they are answered, they will be armed by the Almighty. The Russians shall Insha Allah suffer and pay the price of continuously infesting the air of the Land of Jihad: Chechnya. I can't wait for us to start this phase, for it's the closest that we'll get to supporting you on the field. May victory will be ours." [Brother AB, Lebanon, 14 December 2000]
"Assalamu alaikum brothers. I recently came across an online news page from Middle East with lots of negative propaganda against the Taliban government. It is really sad to see the Muslims hurting other Muslims one way or another. If somehow these Muslims would back off, stop hurting one-another, we can be that "best-nation" God refers to in Quran. Masha Allah you are putting lots of effort in exposing the Truth about Taliban. I know that those Muslims are tough brothers and sisters, they can survive on one bread & a cup of tea for an entire day. Not many people/ Muslims know about Taliban here in USA, so if more Taliban information is added, perhaps this could help. May God reward you & make your work easy." [Brother S, USA, 12 December 2000]
"I appreciate all the efforts that have gone into your Internet sites. I have been a daily visitor for about a year. I am not a Muslim, or presently deeply affiliated with any religious movement. Mankind is capable of such extremes...creativity and beauty in art, and science on one hand....torture, killing, inflicting pain and suffering on the other. You wouldn't know, at times, that we are talking about the same species. How odd. I think that one of the pleasures of Heaven is that none of this horrible stuff exists there. Anyhow, thank you for your Website." [Mr. REB, TX, USA, 13 December 2000] "Assalamu alaikum my dear brothers and sisters in Chechnya. May Allah (SWT) help you in your fighting and grant you victory in this holy month of Ramadan. May Allah (SWT) protect you from the devils of Russia and may Allah (SWT) reward you with Jannatul Firdaus for what your are doing for the cause of Islam. Insha Allah the victory is very soon. Be strong and destroy our enemies, Allahu Akbar!" [Sister HMA, Ethiopia, 14 December 2000]
"Assalamu alaikum! Dear Muslims in Chechnya, I love you for the sake of Allah! I seek Allah's protection for you and me from the trials and tribulations of this world and the hereafter. May Allah reward you excellently for all your sufferings. Please be patient just a little more, Insha Allah, and you will taste the sweetness of your patience. Do not forget that the Almighty is with the patient ones. Remember, this Worldly life is not for long, you never know who will be gone by tomorrow; but the life after death is the everlasting. Please remember me in your supplications (Duas) as I am remembering you. In conclusion, to those who read this message of mine, a small reminder: always be sure and certain that Allah (The Most-Generous, The Most-Kind, The Most-Merciful) will accept & fulfill your supplications (duas) if you pay attention and are sincere to Him."

"Dear brothers, assalamu aleikum. Every day, brothers, we supplicate to the Almighty during the Witr prayer, and ask Him to provide you with His blessing in your Jihad against the Kuffar from Moscow. You can be sure that no one believes the Brave Lions of Chechnya had anything to do with the explosion (car bomb killing civilians), for Islam forbids such acts. A five year old would tell you that the Russian Intelligence, just like they kidnap people for ransom, would stop at nothing to try and destroy the image of the Mujahideen, who with just the power of their faith, defeated twice the second mightiest army in the world. How ? Through the blessing of Allah (SWT). We all pray for your speedy victory." [Brother AB, Lebanon, 11 December 2000]

Please allow this link to the human rights report be made available to the qoqaz readers. http://www.hrw.org/reports/2000/russia_chechnya/ Let the qoqaz readers also forward this to others so that more people will get to know the atrocities committed by Russians.

"Assalamu alaikum. I have been reading the news on qoqaz website for quite some time but have never felt worthy enough to send any email. I read the articles, cry, and pray to Allah to help our Muslim brothers and sisters in Chechnya and then continue focusing on work, family and other worldly comforts. But then I read in one of the emails that there was an article in the Guardian dated 15th Oct. titled "Cries from Putin's torture pit: "http://www.guardianunlimited.co.uk/chechnya/Story/0,2763,382702,00.html" - I felt this article should be sent to as many people as possible (Muslims and non-Muslims).

Jazakallahu khairan I have decided to take first Aid course/ Health/ medicine studies at college. After this I would Insha Allah go to another country and put it into practice Fi Sabilillah. It is very hard for sisters to go to another country without a mahram, as it is not permissible. Also, it is hard to find someone who would be willing to strive hard and give up Dunya in return for Akhira. This is what prevents many of us sisters from going. May Allah (SWT) reward you."

It makes me feel like a hypocrite that all I can do is write you an e-mail of support and watch videos about Jihad while Muslims are being slain like livestock. Reading stories and watching videos about the Shuhadaah makes my eyes fill with tears, and I sincerely love the Mujahideen and Shuhadaah. May Allah let me be with those whom I love.

"Assalamo alaikum, Ramadan Mubaarak and congratulations on Qoqaz completing its first anniversary. I read most of the letters of support and the concern and anguish and anger is the reflection of their helplessness and support to the Muslim brothers and their association to the Muslim Ummah. Let us look back the history how our backbone was broken by eliminating the Khilafa by the enemies of Islam. They fragmented the strong administration into small countries and gave the concept of nationhood rather than brotherhood. The heads of the state of most of the Muslim countries is chosen by them. Now that puppet is assured that if he wants to continue on that big chair he will have to support US and the West. Alhamdulillah, it is our good fate that a site like Azzam & Qoqaz has come up which is a media where all our brothers/ sisters can express their views pragmatically or else all the media throughout the world are biased and we get only a second hand information from them and believe what they publish and broadcast. I praise Allah (SWT) that He is giving our Chechen and Palestinian brothers the courage to fight against the infidels." [Brother AH, Hyderabad, India, 03 December 2000]

May Allah help you during the holy month of Ramadan and while we make iftar it is our duty if not to help you in arms and people, then to help in the prayer and tears. Allah is great and helps those who indeed follow His true path, and you my dear Chechen brothers are doing that, so don't be afraid of the Kafir because you aren't alone. You have Allah with you and His Malaaika (angels) also. I hope only that in Chechnya we have Albanians because you helped us in Bosnia and Kosovo.

"Soldiers of Allah in Chechnya. (Part 2)
We are steadfast in Allah's way as Islam is our creed, And the Book of Allah we always ponder and read, When we die there will come after us a new breed, We enter Paradise without being accountable to our deeds.
We don't fear the Russian military might, We know that Allah commands us to fight, We know that Allah is always right, We know that the reward of Paradise is not out of sight.
In our deaths we are not actually slain, In our deaths there is actually no pain, The ultimate Paradise is what we will gain, Even after "death" we would like to return and fight again.
From 100 to 7 we are outnumbered, In the mountains and hills we are scattered, Our hopes and faith in Allah are not shattered, By the pleasures of this world we are not flattered.
We are like wild grass - the more they cut the more we grow, And many more will come and take the path we follow, In every battle against the enemy our blood will always flow, Our enemies are the ones who will feel sorrow. The Russians came here with their own gloom, For negotiating with them we don't leave any room, Like in Afghanistan their defeat is what looms, And for the enemies of Allah - Hellfire is a painful doom.
The Soldiers of Allah will fight to the finish, Whether it is a great war or a minor skirmish, Compared to Paradise this world is just rubbish, This poetry is very clear and not gibberish.
We are fighting in an area called al-Kavkaz, Against a superpower and is more than a fracas, If you have time please visit the webpage called "qoqaz", Where you can see pictures of dead bodies and carcasses.
The hatred of the enemy is nothing new, Allah's commands - O Muslims please take cue, Allah will fulfill His promise to you, The promise of Allah will always come true.
The best of deaths is the death of a Shaheed, Fighting in the way of Allah is the best of deeds, But this is something many Muslims don't take heed, Mujahideen will fight and all Muslim lands will be freed,
So come and fight my dear Muslim brother, May the spirit of Jihad never waver, The Mujahideen will have nothing to fear, Because the victory from Allah is always near.
There is NO pleasure is this temporary place, And the spirit of Jihad will NEVER fade, DEATH is something every soul will face, And finally may Chechnya be my grave." [Dr. WJB, Malaysia, 29 November 2000]

It is an outrage that the Muslims in the West are sitting back in luxury while there are brothers out there fighting for the Haq and giving their lives for Al-Islam and ultimately Allah. My brothers, my dua's are with you day and night and if you never give up the fight then I too make a promise to you that I will never stop raising my hands for you. I wish I could do something more because I feel that my du'as are not enough. I love you all with all my heart and I pray to Allah for your victory. One day I hope I will be with the ones I love."

Added 03 December 2000 "Soldiers of Allah in Chechnya. (Part 1)
In the Holy Quran - Lo and Behold! We Muslims are clearly told, Paradise cannot be bought and sold, Even with the earth's weight of gold.
The life in this world is temporary, But the life in the Hereafter is Eternity, The death of an ordinary Muslim is a painful agony, The death of a Shaheed of Allah is pure ecstasy.
And for Muslims Jihad is a clear obligation, Whether you are black, white, brown or Chechen, Fight the oppressor until there is no more oppression, The army of Vladimir Putin the petrified Russian.
Jihad is an obligation and not a burden, This is the way of Allah and can never weaken, And by the faith of Allah the Mujahideen strengthen, Fighting to become a Shaheed is the solution to our problem.
The Mujahideen are fighting a guerilla war, And all the oppressors will be really sore, Soon they will be uprooted to the core. Until most of them can't fight anymore.
We Mujahideen are commanded to do Jihad, We always struggle and always fight hard, We will never surrender Muslim lands not even a yard, And Allah will instill fear in our enemies' hearts.
The Soldiers of Allah is what we are, We come from every country near or far, We have fought for centuries against the Russian Czars, We will give the history of Russia some terrible scars.
We are always strong and never frail, We rather die than be imprisoned in the Russian jail, We will fight the way of Allah and never fail, We fought in Chechnya even before the time of brother Shamil.
Our ancestors were driven out as far as Siberia, Some are scattered from Georgia to Anatolia, We are fighting against a superpower - Russia, We are fighting in the beautiful scenery and mountains of Chechnya. Jihad is by the pen and the sword, We put our trust in Allah our Lord, Whether in a thousand battles we have fought, We are the Soldiers of Allah and will never rot.
We struggle in Jihad and we don't moan and groan, Because our Lord is always with us so we are not alone, Many of us came from far and a long way from home, So pray for us because we are fighting in the battle zone." [Dr. WJB, Malaysia, 29 November 2000]

"Assalaamu alaykum. My dearest Mujahideen brothers. I pray to Allah that you all get this letter of mine in good health and in the Islamic Spirit to combat Kafirs and Munafiqs around the world. Alhamdulillah, for your efforts towards Jihad in this life you all will get the rewards of the Hereafter. Here I am staying in Bombay, living a comfortable life but my heart has become uncomfortable, feeling that it has become fard for me to do Jihad against the Kuffar. But its all of my weakness and my foolishness that I am still not doing that. Please pray to Allah that I soon join the ranks of Mujahideen with my wife. Pray for me that I too would become Mujahid soon." [Brother TT, India, 29 November 2000]
"My dearest Muslims in Chechnya, assalamu alaikum. Ramadhan Mubarak. It is my sincerest prayer that Allah (SWT) bestows upon you a speedy victory in this blessed month, and ends your hardships and sufferings. As the mosques fill with the believers every night, and all our concentration is on Allah (SWT) and the day of Judgement, I pray that He instills in our hearts and minds the guidance we need to arise to the challenges facing the Muslims all over the world. Never again should the cries of our fellow Muslims go unheard. Never again should oppression against our brothers and sisters go unanswered." [Brother AA, USA, 28 November 2000]

O Allah! separate their gatherings and scatter their unity, and make their condition severe amongst themselves, and make their plots go against them, and show us in them the amazement's of your Power, and make them a lesson for those who do not learn lessons. O Allah! Hurry their destruction, and make their wealth as booty for the Muslims. O Allah! Aid our Mujahideen brothers in Chechnya, Kashmir, Palestine, Afghanistan and all over the world. O Allah! Unify their rows, and gather them on the Word of Truth. O Allah! Aim their firing and strengthen their determination, and make their feet firm, and descend upon them tranquillity, and satisfy their hearts and guide them to that which is all good. O Allah! Make for them from Yourself an authority, and aid them with the army from Yourself, for to You belong the armies of the Heavens and the earth, O Lord of the Worlds. May salaam be upon the Messenger of Allah and upon all his companions and followers. This is the first time I've been on your website, and I think you brothers are doing a brilliant job in telling the world the truth about the Jihad in Chechnya, unlike the Zionist run media in the world who are showing a biased view in their favour to serve their own interests.

"Salam alaikum my dear Mujahids: may Allah keep you all united, healthy and strong, Ameen. Please know that since your Jihad began more than a year ago, not one prayer have I made which did not include you before even my own parents and children. In the US all prayers at Mosques include you. I feel the frustration of my inability to do more than use words and yet I feel tremendous pride and am most fortunate to witness your Jihad, for all us Muslims (useless ones included). The Jihad receives almost no attention by the world leaders who have long lost their conscience and sold their souls to the devil. You, my brave Mujahid brothers, are the ones whom our prophet Muhammed (SAWS) talked about, as those who would cause the banner of Islam to be raised from the East. Its been more than a year and Putin the smelly weasel has admitted that his army of 200,000 clowns have done little more than fill the Morgues of Moscow or line the streets of Russia with drunken, depressed, suicidal soldiers, and he now intends to replace the entire Russian army with Domestic Security Service, the successors of KGB. Apparently he thinks that these new set of clowns would be more suited for the job. We all know that they will only be suited with their body bags very soon, Inshallah, as they see the circus of their death. However Putin is not fooling anyone and now means to use terrorism and assassinations to try and control the Mujahid lions. As stated very aptly by The Guardian regarding the deployment of these new fools soon to meet their end Insha Allah, "...a switch of tactics towards what Mr Putin's spokesman calls "neutralisation and elimination" - in other words, state-sponsored terrorism and assassination. Yet more than that, Mr Putin's decree is a silent admission of defeat... " (Please read the latest report " This War Cannot Succeed" http://www.guardianunlimited.co.uk/chechnya/Story/0,2763,427146,00.html) What Putin and the rest of the world of munafiqs, Shaitaans and Kuffar still do not see is that they are not just up against a few proud and brave Chechens but in fact against the wrath of Allah, Who makes the battles of those who are ready to die for Him, His battles, and their strikes, His strikes. Insha Allah victory will be yours either way, and Wallahi my brave brothers and sisters, the Shuhadaa, do live on. May Allah grant you tremendous victories and speed His wrath on the Russian devils so each heart beat makes them face a new terror, and each day is another day of absolute hell for them. Ameen."

"Salam alaikum my dear brothers and sisters of Chechnya: may Allah keep you all united healthy and strong. Ameen. From the East to the West and from North to South, Muslims are being murdered, raped, their property being seized or destroyed, families displaced as in Chechnya, Bosnia, Kosova and Albania, and with the nodding approval of Munafiks in complicity with UN and NATO, Muslims are scorned, humiliated and their rights usurped and hoarded like sheep as in the Palestinian refugee camps, one of the largest refugee camps in the history of this world. Muslims often ask why is this so when we are the Ummah of our Prophet Mohammed (SAWS). The answer as per the hadeeth is that though we are great in numbers, we love this world and fear death. We are only Muslims by name and our actions belie that of Munafiks. Only in Chechnya and Afghanistan have Muslims shown that against all odds, in the face of intense suffering and a world boycott, holding on to only Allah, they have braved all that the Shaitans, Kuffar and Munafiks could throw at them. They have proved that in their chests beats the heart of a lion, while the rest of us with are shame on our faces, are content with the heart of sheep and weasels.

May this be the last winter you must endure in the mountains. May your victory be swift so you can start to rebuild your nation." [Mr. DS, Melbourne, Australia, 09 January 2001]
"Salaam to all the brothers, sisters and the Mujahideen in Chechnya. We love you all dearly, we have seen once again how these Kuffar try to dismantle our great Deen. Yesterday it was Kashmir, Bosnia, Kosovo, and today it is Chechnya and Palestine. Subhanallah for the sheer determination, courage of the Mujahideen and other groups in Jihad such as HAMAS and HIZBULLAH. You have played an essential part of setting examples by standing up against people who attack our people and the Deen. You have taken the role where the Muslim leaders have failed. Our prayers are always with you, you have overwhelming support from the Muslims of Britain. May Allah (SWT) make you successful in your Jihad." [Brother AAM, UK, 08 January 2001]
"Assalamu alaikum my dear brothers of Chechnya...please do not negotiate any truce with the Russians...if you do, you will be stung twice by the same serpent. When they mean truce...it is just to buy time. Their evil empire is falling...the wrath of God Almighty is upon them now. Don't fall into their trap again and again in the name of peace...they don't have one to offer you. For the Muslim Ummah...there is only one door left...and that is Jihad...Shahaada or the Victory. Those who don't see it...it is time to wake up...answer the call coming out of your hearts. It does not matter how faint it is...that is the only voice that will lead you to freedom...freedom from the greedy Kuffar. My prayers are with you...every moment of the time. May Allah (SWT) reward you with success. Ameen." [Brother MQ, USA, 08 January 2001]
"Dear brothers...assalamu aleikum. Again, just as passive as before, I send you this email from the cosiness of my home, while the Mujahideen are practically living in sub zero temperatures, surrounded by the swines of Moscow, who come under different names: OMON, Dezant, etc. Again, we only have our supplication to offer, not that I'm underestimating the power of the dua, God forbid, but rather feeling ashamed that I can't feel the bite of the ice, and the heat of the fighting that you face daily. Brothers, may the Almighty (SWT) grant you victory over the swines, and by this victory allow the propagation of true Islam as should be in the Qoqaz, the Islam which would be promoted as a result of Holy Jihad." [Brother AB, Lebanon, 08 January 2001]
"I will pray for the victory of our Mujahideen in the land of Jihad. I pray for the fast success in defeating the enemy. You, the Mujahideen are the chosen ones to carry out the difficult task. Your sacrifice will be rewarded by Allah. Let us pray to Allah to pick us, like those He has chosen to be in the lands of Jihad. Let us not forget the unfortunate Muslims around the world during this Eid celebration. May Allah make it so that, by the next Eid the Mujahideen of Chechnya will be marching down the roads of Grozny left vacant by the defeated Russians. The Palestinians will pray in Al Aqsa mosque free from the Zionists." [Brother SH, Singapore, 08 January 2001]
"Assalamu alaikum. To my dear Mujahideen brothers and sisters, may Allah guide, protect and keep you all healthy and united. To the leaders of the Mujahideen in Chechnya, may Allah give you strength and wisdom, please do not accept the Kuffar's withdrawal condition; its full of lies. It will destroy you. Give them only safe passage out of Chechnya and conditions that only benefit all Muslims, not only in Chechnya but other Muslim countries. Don't sell Afghanistan to them, don't betray your Muslim brothers in Afghanistan. If they (the Russian Kuffar and American Kuffar) really want to go to there, then let them do it and Insha Allah, Afghan Mujahids will let them hear the Takbir and send all of them to hell." [Brother SS, Malaysia, 08 January 2001]
"Dear Mujahideen brothers, assalamu alaikum. First of all I would like to congratulate you, for Allah has selected you for Jihad in His Cause. Insha Allah, the reward of it is Jannah. How I wish I could be among your ranks. This period of difficulty will soon be over and your efforts will get paid Insha Allah. Our duas are with all of you. Keep continuing the good work and pray for steadfastness and never cause any doubts to enter your mind; you all are certainly on the right path. Always pray for protection from Satan because Satan never ceases creating dissent among Muslims. And dissent created is the war lost. Be therefore united. There were many charity appeals in our country and Alhamdulillah the response was good. Alhamdulillah people have come out wholeheartedly in the Muslim cause the world over. You will always have our support. Victory will be ours." [Brother JA, Saudi Arabia, 07 January 2001]
"I always read from the updates that the Mujahideen are steadfast on the battlefield. Insha Allah I will join you one day along with all the Muslim brothers. We will defeat the Russians and all Kufr. We pray every day for your protection and to give you victory. May Allah give all the Mujahids all around the world patience, victory and the highest level of Jannah."

"Believers of Allah, I am a white Christian in the USA. I have been online with azzam.com for over a year, also with other Islamic sites and most recently afghan-ie.com. I have now accomplished being isolated in my religious beliefs. My spirit tells me that the Islamic Jihads are correct. I give prayers for the Mujahideen and the innocent people that suffer from the lack of support from the world leaders. It would seem the only true leaders of countries are in Afghanistan and Chechnya. I did not expect my spiritual path to lead me in this direction. The words of the various Mujahideen have had a great impression on my spirit. I deserve nothing next to the innocent civilians and children caught in a vice by the unbelieving world leaders. I still ask for a prayer so that my spirit may be opened further to the Truth." [Mr. GK, CA, USA, 16 December 2000]
"Today is the first day of Eid, and we the Muslims in Singapore celebrate it in peace and harmony. To our Muslim brothers and sisters in Chechnya, we can only send our dua and salam. I am sad here because while all of you are suffering, we here are do nothing to help you. I feel so useless sometimes, when I read about you and what the Bosnian Muslims had to go through, it only reminds me that there is no peace for Muslims in this world. If we lay down our guard our enemy will ambush us anywhere they can. I have lost faith in the leaders who call themselves Muslims, where they have the wealth and the strength but they do not have the Faith that you have. They are nothing but cowards. I am so ashamed to see the Muslim leaders or so they call themselves, do nothing when the USA and their puppet rulers lay a sanction against Afghanistan. I here can only tell you not to be sad by death but be happy, for Shahada is within your sight but for us it is so far away and we have to fight the enemies that hide behind the masks of peace. Fight on brothers in the Name of Allah as the reward is so great nothing on this earth can equal it." [Sister RP, Singapore, 27 December 2000]
"My dear Mujahideen, assalamu alaikum! I am from Pakistan. I visited your site today and liked it. Everybody is aware of the sacred duty you are performing, even then it is an irony that some of our brothers think Jihad is unnecessary. I suggest that you should include their doubts and answers to them in your site for their hidayah (guidance). All my friends and I pray for your success, unity of Ummah and your enemy's destruction. May Allah be with you" [Brother AM, Pakistan, 04 January 2001]
"Assalaamu alaikum O Mujahideen,. Eid Mubarak to all Mujahideen. Blessed be those people who fight in Allah's Path day and night and even on Eid. Allah gives so much humiliation to the Kuffar, especially to the Russians that they are far from realizing that they are challenging the soldiers of God. Look at Russian soldiers, Allah gave them humiliation that they are killed by their own people, they have nothing to eat, they loot civilians, they hate each other, and they sell their Iman for money. Really, this is a lesson for men of understanding. Should we not think about this? 'Think' is really too dangerous a word or too educated a word for us Muslims whose minds are so finite, so corrupt by the Western ideology. If we would think properly today, we would have been like the people who were blessed like the Sahaba. Prophet (SAWS) said that a Believer cannot be bitten by the same hole twice. We are not only bitten by same hole again and again and again, but we are dragged into this hole where their is darkness and Kufr and we don't realize that the light of Islam is outside that hole. Verily we are people of little understanding. O Mujahideen, I love you for the sake of Allah and day by day my love for you is growing and dislike for this world is growing too. O Mujahideen you are so blessed a people, so truthful, so courageous, so beautiful in your Iman, that you became an role model for people like me and others to follow. You have enlightened my heart with the truth, O Mujahideen I love you for what you have been doing for Islam, O Mujahideen you fight and along with you are fighting the angels of Allah. I want to be part of that blessing too, today we need people like Mu'tassim billah who destroyed whole city of Romans and answered the call of a just one Muslim sister and saved her. Today we need sisters like Hawa Barayev, who are role models in the current life. Today we see that there is no 'WE' in the Muslim Ummah. If there was a 'WE', then today Muslim countries would have reacted to the wars of Islam against Kufr, today 'WE' would not have tolerated thousands of sisters being raped and many generations being wiped out. O Mujahideen of Allah, our duas are with you, our love is with you, our hearts are with you, day and night. The Russians really should feel privileged to die at hand of such blessed people than to die of hunger or being tortured by their own military officers . May Allah give victory to the Mujahideen and may Allah make me and others among people like the Mujahideen. Ameen." [Brother KMA, NC, USA, 02 January 2001]
"People of Chechnya! I really support you always. I'm from Poland , and as you probably know, we Polish fully understand what kind of people the Russian army has. We were forced to "deal" with them for more then 40 years, and finally we managed to wipe them out. Now we have a Communist and Jew as a president and a big " chance " to have the same kind of people in government next year. The Polish government is now the same like Western governments - they only take care of their own money and interests. It is sad but true - it does not matter in what kind of political option they have roots - they always think about the same thing - money to steal and keep for their own interest. I know that my support is maybe not very valuable to You, but I know the history and I know that you need all kind of support from the rest of the world. I wish you all the best for the year 2001 and wish you to be a free nation after defeating the Russian aggressors." [Mr. MS, Poland, 28 December 2000]
"Salaam alaikum my dearest Muslim brothers and sisters, May Allah guide, protect and keep you all healthy and united, ameen. Today's Internet edition of the The Times revealed that the animal Yuri Budanov who raped and murdered our sister was released by the Russians last May along with five Russian army officers charged with murdering Dmitri Kholodov, the Moscow journalist, in 1994. And a prison release programme is set to soon release 350,000 prisoners in response to international criticism of its overcrowded prison system by Mary Robinson, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, who said recently that conditions in Moscow's Butyrka prison amounted to torture. But I don't suppose Ms. Robinson considers the torture and outright murder of Muslim Chechen men, women and Children as a crime or else she would have sought their release too. Also she probably never bothered to question the Russians of the number of innocent Muslims who would make up the 350,000 prisoners soon to be released, and I strongly suspect the answer would be zero any way. But now that we know that animal Budanov is free, my brothers, please hunt him down and let us know when you do. May Allah bless, guide and protect you all." [Brother TN, NY, USA, 02 January 2001]

May Allah (SWT) be with you my brothers and sisters and may He put fear into the hearts of your enemies." [Sister ME, USA, 26 December 2000] "Assalamu alaikum. My husband and I have wanted to write to you all for a long time but we could never find the words to express how much love, respect and envy we have for the Mujahideen that are struggling to establish Allah's law throughout the world. There isn't a day that we don't think about the brothers that are sacrificing everything for the sake of Allah. But know that the reward that Allah has in store for you is abundant and great. We both wish that we could be there with you, and Insha Allah our wish will become a reality! Insha Allah, I pray that Allah gives us even a fraction of your fear and faith. My children will grow up with the fighters of Allah as their heroes. You all have a special place in our hearts, may Allah bless you all and reward you with the highest level of paradise.

It is a treasure to find your valuable contribution to provide our right to know about our brothers and sisters in Chechnya and to fulfil our duties toward them.

Under the shades of swords, Allah has put my provision. Other than to Allah, I know no submission. The greatest weapon I possess, Is my supplication.

"Salaam alaikum my dear Mujahid brothers and sisters: may Allah keep you all united, healthy and strong. Scanning the news one observes the usual injustices committed against Muslims the world over. This is without any protest or action from either, the apparent group of champions of Human Rights, the UN, NATO and the EU whose hypocrisy knows no bounds, or even Muslim countries which sheepishly look on. All the Muslim countries' resources of oil, minerals, money and nuclear weapons are useless to them or to any one else but the oppressor and aggressor Kafir countries who dominate the very organizations set up to monitor and address the rights of the impoverished and weaker nations. The wolf has appointed itself to watch over the welfare of the sheep, and at will devours anyone whom it considers a threat. However one cannot escape the fact that it is also in Islamic countries that the Muslims are facing severe oppression by leaders who hide behind Muslim names and yet can cover up their intense hate for Islam and Muslims. Allah has stated in the Quran that oppression is worse than death. However, nowadays the common attitude amongst Muslims seems to be to ignore and walk away from the corpses of your brothers and sisters, as long as your own neck is safe. One wonders if real men were only born to true Muslims of Chechnya and Afghanistan. Wallahi, truly for these Munafiqs who think that they will prosper forever and the end will never come, they are the ones who will soon wish, plead and cry that the end does come, but it truly never will. What awaits for them in Hell is an unimaginable terror and excruciating punishment from which there is no escape and will continue for eternity. For those of us who have woken, Allah's mercy is boundless and there is still time to amend. May Allah protect and guide you all. Ameen." [Brother TN, NY, USA, 22 February 2001]

They utter falsehood and conceal that which is truth. They say they are just, but The Exalted knows the extent of their justice.

Added 21 February 2001 "Assalamu alaikum. First of all I would like to give you my congratulations on facing the Russians in such a brave and successful manner. The Russians were beaten severely in Afghanistan before but they did not learn a lesson. They did the ultimate mistake of colliding with the Muslims again. Muslims, when we have complete faith in Allah (SWT) and are confident of ourselves, become unbeatable. From the earliest history of Islam we have learned that the Muslims have almost always been weaker in terms of weapons, animals, soldiers etc. but even then they have almost always won. Therefore we Muslims do not have to get worried about the superior weapons of the Kuffar. What if they have loads of weapons, very superior technology etc.? They will still be defeated whenever they try to oppress us. Because Allah is the supreme power and no power is superior then Him. We should just have faith in Allah's supremacy. What are these weapons? Only small machines? They can stop working only from slight problems! Their soldiers are demoralized and afraid. The ultimate weapon is thus not the atom bomb or anything else: it's our Iman. We should realize that the only way out of the current problems is Jihad. Do some of us think that by sitting back in our homes our lives would be saved? Do we fear that by going out to fight we might get killed? What we don't realize perhaps is that death has a fixed time. It can come anytime and anywhere. What if you are sitting back in your house and an earthquake strikes, or the roof falls for some reason on top of you, or a snake bites you, or you fall off the stairs accidentally etc.? Death can strike anytime. One can get killed even in the safe shelter of his house. So how would we like to die? Die an ordinary death in our houses or die a Martyr's death on the battlefield and go straight to heaven? We Muslims believe in peace. But if some gets aggressive with us�it is our right to reply. What happens nowadays is that we Muslims are attacked in front of the world. We are the one's portrayed as the aggressors! So my friends, it's about time we wake up from this shameful and disgraceful sleep and prove ourselves. The Mujahideen in Chechnya are fighting for Islam and we all should offer our complete support to them. We ought to remember them in our prayers." [Brother HBZ, Pakistan, 20 February 2001]

They also make a vague reference to Qoqaz.net in the article by claiming that "Osama bin Laden inspired Chechens" are bragging about "future Islamist power" on the Internet.

There are only a handful who have sold the illusory life of this world for the Eternal Pleasure of the Next. To Allah (SWT) is surely the best return. He who brings life to a dead field can surely bring light where there is dimness, and freedom where there is oppression, and Islam where there is Kufr. The handful of this shattered Ummah truly have Allah's help with them, for they are the only ones who truly love for Allah and hate for Allah. My yearning never ceases and never will and Insha Allah because I am a sister of beloved Hawa, I too will join her in her pleasure. The help of Allah is with you, so remain firm against those who try to destroy you, but never will. From Allah we come and to Him we return." [Sister MA, UK, 15 February 2001]
"Assalamu aleikum. I think that you are those people about whom the Prophet (SAWS) says, that one group of my people will be on Islam and they will fight for Islam until the Last Day will come. You are heroes of all Muslims world-wide. May Allah give you success and to all the Mujahideen brothers around the world." [Brother A, Pakistan, 16 February 2001]
Assalamu alaikum to the Mujahideen brothers in Chechnya. I hope and pray that you are all fine out there. May Allah (SWT) keep you firm on your path and give you the highest place in Paradise. We are all with you and support you fully by heart. We too wish to join you in your struggle against the enemies of Islam and Insha Allah soon we will join you. We are always praying for you."

"I'm a middle aged European male and for a long time now have been very concerned at the activities of the Russian military in their invasion and oppression of the people of Chechnya. The Western media have had a big role to play in that they have not criticized the Russians nor do they carry any reporting of the atrocities being committed there. In New Zealand where I live, one could think that the Chechen "situation" has been resolved as there is nothing in the media about it. The internet has been the only source of information to keep one informed. I'm not Muslim, I'm just an ordinary man but the "demonizing" of the Muslim religion and beliefs has been largely "manufactured " within Western media. It is not good, and I will pass your address to friends, etc." [MR C, New Zealand, 14 February 2001]
"Salaam alaikum my dear brothers and sisters Mujahids of Chechnya. May Allah bless and keep you all united, healthy and strong. Ameen. While you, my brothers in Chechnya and our Taliban brothers in Afghanistan, are suffering and sacrificing to establish Islam in the lands, it is indeed most unfortunate that some 'Muslims', point to the fact that our Ummah must keep Islam confined to the Mosques and homes. Otherwise we too will end up in refugee camps alienated and shunned by the world, and we shall remain in a regressive state. These Munafiqs seek to destroy the faith of those in whose heart burns the flame of Islam and have the dignity, courage and the intelligence to realize that. As stated by Allah in the Quran and in the Hadith of our Prophet Mohammed (SAWS), the Kuffars and the Shaitans will never be happy with us until we become like them. You do not have to be the Secretary of the UN to see the incredible amounts of injustice and outright destruction of Muslims and their society that the world happily accepts.
No matter where you look, whether its Chechnya, Afghanistan, Algeria, Bosnia, Kashmir, Palestine, its only Muslims who fill the roles of the wretched in refugee camps, displaced, tortured, murdered, slaughtered, raped while the world merrily looks on. Sadly these atrocities are even being carried out by the governments of these so-called Islamic states. With what conscience can a true Muslim look away without the state of his brothers and sisters slicing away at his heart? Do we then slither away like snakes and rats, and put on an appeasing facade to please our "Masters"?
The Kuffar will continue to hound us for our oil, water, land, warm water sea ports. They will occupy our lands and sell us our own oil, they will commit atrocities upon us, rape and slaughter our families and yet blame us and call us terrorists when we strike back. Islam is not a religion, it is a way of life. Turning Islam into a ritualistic religion without changing ourselves, is akin to the hollow creeds followed by Jews, Christians and Hindus. We are born Muslims and if we have an ounce of dignity of the Muslim Chechens or the Taliban, we would rather die with honour than live the pathetic lives of servile slimy scoundrels, whose fate awaits in the permanence of Hell where they will fuel the fires forever. May Allah bless and guide you all, Ameen." [Brother TN, NY, USA, 15 February 2001]
"Assalamu alaykum dear brothers, I am writing to thank you for keeping all Muslims updated on the current situation in Chechnya. For Muslims living in Western countries it is hard to get correct information on the state of the Muslims across the world. But alhamdulillah, Allah has blessed you to undertake such a demanding task. May Allah bless the cause." [Brother UK, USA, 12 February 2001]
"Assalamu alaikum. Praise be to Allah, the Originator, who has given us such courageous soldiers and commanders. It is no wonder that the world is on the defensive when we wage Jihad. The Lord knows best who are the peacemakers and who are the terrorists. So stand firm against the forces of evil and rejoice in the bargain which you have concluded for verily you are among the best of creation and Allah knows best. Peace be upon you, the day you were born and the day you shall die. For it was by the grace of the Exalted and through your struggle that I realized the value of this Religion. They say that it (America) is the land of hope and glory, but the truth stands high above that which is false. The honour, power and glory belong to Allah, His messengers and the believers." [Brother JR, UK, 14 February 2001] "Assalamu alaikum. Allah will provide all of the Muslims fighting for His sake with anything that is needed. May Allah keep them all on His beautiful, truthful path of Al- Islam. May He help through all their times of struggle. May Allah bring them all closer to Him each day and closer to victory. May Allah have mercy on all of the Muslims fighting for His sake and have them reach the highest places in His beautiful Jannah. Ameen. " [Brother AYS, USA, 14 February 2001]

May Allah protect you from the attacks of Kuffar and the attacks of Satan to cause Fitna among your own. In war, may Allah keep you together to drive the Kuffar away. In peace, may Allah keep you together to rebuild your country with Islamic Sharia. And in Hereafter, may Allah keep you together with Rasoolullah (SAWS) and other great Shaheeds. Ameen! You are setting a great example for the Muslim Ummah in modern times. Like Rasoolullah (SAWS) said: Islam will spread by example. Your example is of standing on your own, committing Jihad, and not considering the help from any Kafir third party to mediate. UN or otherwise, the Kafir third parties are worst than the Kafir second parties with even more cunning. They pretend to be neutral. Diplomacy, political settlements, and secret negotiations are just different forms of lying and cheating. It is designed just to prolong the occupation of Kafir and Munafiq control freaks. We don't have to deal with Kuffar, we deal with Allah (SWT). The failure of our Ummah against Kuffar in this world is just a sign of our failure in our trade with Allah (SWT). We are not making enough effort in His Way with our person, nor even with our wealth. Congratulations, Mumins of Chechnya, you showed the Ummah the light at the end of the tunnel of disgrace. May Allah give you victory in this struggle very soon, and make you the new leaders of the Ummah. Ameen!" [Brother SH, USA, 12 February 2001]
"I thank you, brave Mujahideen, for exhausting and laming the Russian army. The Russian economy sways, poverty and diseases lash the Russian people.

"Assalamu alaikum. I believe that Chechen guerillas will win because of a number of reasons. One is the shield of their 'Iman' and Help from Allah. What they do is not wrong because Chechen civilians are brutally treated everyday and this justifies the Jihad against the Russians. Second is the experience the guerillas have after years of fighting and successful ambushes. Third, the terrain. The Russians with their advanced attack planes and aircraft cannot hold a decisive advantage because of the mountainous region. Fourth, the morale of the Russian invaders. With deaths everyday, they must be feeling miserable because they know that they will die, the only question is, when? Fifth are the Russian civilians who know that the propaganda by the Russian Government is false and the decision to invade Chechnya is an ill-fated plan. The support for the Jihad would never disappear because of the way the Russian troops are treating the Chechen civilians and hence, the popular support will always be there for the liberators. The win will come. The Russians may hold on, but like the situation in Southern Lebanon, the defeat will come. Allahu Akbar!" [Brother S, Singapore, 14 February 2001]

"Assalamu alaikum dear Mujahideen brothers, may Allah bless you with more Imaan, Taqwa, mercy, and a victory supreme in this world and the world to come. Ameen. I have been reading messages of support for a while and I really like to read the messages by brother TN, how true he is regarding the conditions of Muslims around the world. We are indeed living our lives like a bunch of coward sheep with Munafiq ideas such as nationalism embedded within our Islamic beliefs. Although we thrive in numbers-more than a billion, most of us are an insult to Islam and the true Muslims. We carry on our ignorant and pre-Islamic ideas with us even after the knowledge of Quran has been clearly revealed to us. Would it not have been better if there were not a billion ignorant Muslims but rather less than a million sincere and true Muslims, so that at least they would have represented the true Islam to the world without any human corruption? But my brothers, I am hopeful and optimistic, Islam teaches us never to lose hope and give up, always think positively, even if the reality is the opposite, so at least we would have the energy to fight for the cause. I think it is just a matter of time when the table will turn to our side and that has already been done as in Chechnya, and everything else will follow Insha Allah. We should always remember the time of our beloved Prophet (SAWS) when the condition of Muslims and Islam was not very strong but Allah united the hearts of the believers and gave them supreme victory and from then on for more than a decade of centuries, Muslims dominated the east and the west, and the Kuffar were in a very dismal situation. It has been only in this century that Kuffar have been successful in achieving their aims, but that will be Insha Allah short-lived because falsehood is destined to perish, and truth is destined to prevail. So my brothers be optimistic and ask Allah for forgiveness and mercy that He may give Islam and the Muslims a victory once again complete and supreme, because for Allah (SWT) nothing is difficult or impossible. But we must work hard to please our Lord and submit ourselves wholeheartedly to Islam and His cause in patience and reverence." [Sister AK, NY, USA, 10 February 2001]

Everyday I'm on your website to read your news, and before I open the site I make dua to Allah so that He helps you to win this war, which the Kuffar brought into your country.

You should not negotiate with war criminals and Kuffar for peace. Our dua's are with you always and we are very proud of you. We Muslims should take lessons from you, because you are the best examples for us. No peace with Kuffar/ war criminals. Allah is watching you and us always.

These are hypocrites who shout about humanity but Allah better knows what is in their hearts.

"Looking around, any honest observer, Muslim or non-Muslim can see the writing on the wall. Take any Muslim country, and it is painfully apparent that its socio-economic structure is in doldrums and is barely making it, with a very large majority of its citizens in abject poverty and terrible social distress. There is a horrible lack of food, water, education, jobs, medical services, medicine, social services and utilities. Muslim countries have more than their share of morbid crime, high infant mortality rates, disease and hunger. The general mood of the masses is so depressingly negative that people seem resigned to living in their pathetic state from day to day, some simply waiting for death to rid them of their misery. However in a sharp contrast those countries where the governments have clamped down on any aspirations of an Islamic system using torture and murder to achieve that end, they are well rewarded by the world with infinite loans, military and economic assistance and will even look away while these countries have a free hand at genocide and their justice for Muslims is non-existent. There is a stranglehold in place by the world of Kuffar and Munafiqs, and our religion, our values, and all that defines us as Muslims is being squeezed out of us.
It would be all to easy to blame the superpowers, the UN, the NATO and the EU for all the evil that befalls us and to a great degree that is quite true. However the bottom line is that we Muslims are our own worst enemies. By ignoring the word and guidance of Allah in the Quran and the Prophet's (SAWS) Sunnah, we have brought this tragedy upon ourselves. We have put cultural norms, often completely conflicting with the teachings in Islam, forward to the world to represent our understanding and appreciation of our religion. With such a confusion of ideas and dogmas, compounded with mindless nationalism, we do not know what part of our belief is based upon true Islamic teachings and which has roots in some residual pagan pre-Islamic cultural anomaly.
We are quite content to confine Islam in our lives to ritual Friday and Eid prayers and going through the motions in the month of Ramadan or giving a bit of money (whether earned honestly or not), all the while patting ourselves on the back and wondering what good Muslims we are. Never mind that our lives are punctuated with open defiance of the teachings of our Prophet Mohammed (SAWS), in all our actions. We steal, we lie, we cheat, our children are encouraged to ape Western or Hindu actors and actresses in our dress and demeanour and any child even vaguely shows interest in Islam is derided and called a Mulla. We accept the anti-Islamic theories of disbelievers and Munafiqs regarding the events in Algeria, Chechnya, Afghanistan, Sudan, Afghanistan, Turkey, Egypt, Kashmir and Palestine. We approve of the shameful attire of our wives and daughters, who strut about in sexually enticing clothes which leave nothing to the imagination. Quite akin to the shameless naked Hindus who feel that splashing about in a river will wash their sins, or the Christians who wipe away the week's worth of sins with the weekend church visit, we too feel that by our rituals and 'feel good deeds' we are in Allah's good books which is why we are rewarded with such prosperity.
However we never stop and recall, the words of Allah in the Quran, that He continues to give slack to such rebellious ingrates and the disbelievers and those who seep themselves in greater sin until Allah will one day take them to task. The reality is that our lives and actions are a total contradiction of Islam and we insult Islam and all true Muslims, by proclaiming ourselves as Muslims through our Muslim names. Allah will never change the condition of a people until they first change themselves and if there is any hope for us, the time is now before the book of our lives is closed and we stand shamefaced before Allah, awaiting our fate.
As uninteresting as it may sound to some, looking towards the Mujahids of Chechnya and the Taliban of Afghanistan one cannot look away without feeling that pang of shame and the nagging sense that they have achieved for themselves, besides a place in history as the true warriors of Islam, a place in Heaven and their successful struggle against all odds, with the entire world against them. It is not the struggle of common men but of Mujahids aided by Allah. In time it will be these lions who, by their sacrifice, will show that they are the chosen ones, and who will unite and singularly lead the Ummah under the banner of Islam. Ameen."

The estimation given by BBC was 2700 enemy soldiers lost (information given by Russia) and the report also said that this is only the official figure, whereas the real figure goes as high as 20 soldiers per day (that comes to an astounding 600 soldiers per month x 16 months = 9600 enemy soldiers killed by Mujahideen, just by their estimates).

"Salam alaikum my dear Muslim brothers and sisters: May Allah bless you all and keep you united, healthy and strong. I do not loose one opportunity to voice my opinion on Chechnya and Afghanistan to the world. The following letter appeared on the Lockerbie Debate today, you can view it at http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/talking_point/newsid_1145000/1145975.stm: "If the court issued the decree in their best judgement based on incontrovertible facts then we must respect the courts findings. However, when shall we see other criminals brought to justice who in spite of their horribly bloody deeds, all on record, presently enjoy complete immunity from prosecution by the EU, the UN or NATO or any other international organization, and indeed such criminals are hailed as true leaders of the free world. The injustices carried out on the Muslims of Afghanistan, Chechnya or Kurdistan by Super Powers under the guise of National Security, remain ignored." Your struggle is not in isolation. Your cause is the cause for the entire Muslim Ummah. I will keep on hammering away letters and opinions and any other thing that I can do that will help you and our cause. Please be warned that under advice from Israel, Mr. Putin intends to send in assassination teams made up of bearded Munafiqs mostly Chechens, Uzbeks and Khazaks, in an attempt to wipe out our leadership in Chechnya. My brothers, make examples of the Munafiqs and Kuffar so that any fools with ideas of selling you for a few roubles will shake in their boots. My prayers for you continue. May Allah be with you always." [Brother TN, NY, USA, 31 January 2001]

"Salaam alaikum my dear Mujahid brothers and sisters: may Allah always keep you united healthy and strong. Once again for the sleeping Muslims watching languidly as their brothers and sisters are slaughtered the world over, the recent events in Albania knolls the horrible bell of reality which many Muslims have continued to deny. The very NATO forces who claimed that they were in the Balkans to protect the defenceless Muslims have now suddenly changed their tune. These NATO 'protectors' have now joined forces with the villainous Serbs, the butchers and murderers of old, and incredibly support these craven beasts against the very people they claimed to defend. Will those 'cotton puff Muslims' still look the other way and adopt the pacifist role of sheep lining up to be slaughtered? Will they be content in their false sense of security as they hide inside their houses and nod approvingly in unison with the enemies of Islam as their brothers and sisters are butchered? Was all the wealth of oil and other natural resources which Allah bestowed on them, meant to selfishly maintain their soft lives? Do these ingrates seriously think that they will never stand before Allah and will never be asked to account for how they used the blessings of Allah in the face of their brethren being massacred? What answers will they have then? How will they hide their shame then? What will these Munafiqs say when asked why did their lips only moved to protest the demolition of some miserable statues and yet remained silent while other Muslims were being hacked to pieces in Borneo, Indonesia or in Chechnya where they were made to suffer the most horrible agony of torture by the Russians before being murdered . And where was the affront to their sensibilities when the blood of innocent children, women and men flowed on the streets in Chechnya, Bosnia, Kosovo, Albania, Afghanistan and Kashmir. Have these Munafiqs ever taken time off from their self centred lives to contemplate the what awaits them in graveyards which all their wealth could not help them avoid ? If the events in the world against Islam and Muslims do not stir up your blood and set your heart afire then you are dead. Your soul yearns to be torn free from your miserable body in which it remains. You may hear the beating of your heart but with each beat you are closer to the end of your days, which will end without honour. What an ignoble death it will be. You did not even desire to give your life to serve Allah by Jihad let alone actually participate. On the Day of Judgement you will not stand next to those whom Allah loves. You will not feel the shadow of His mercy. This life, this wealth is just a test to see if you embrace it and love it as your God, or do you treat it with a grain of salt in preparation for the permanent life that is coming sooner than you think ? You do not have a lease on life forever and just one look at the graveyards will make you realize that they did not either - though like you , they too did think so. May Allah keep you all united, healthy and strong. Muslims of the US, continue to unceasingly pray for you in all our prayers." [Brother TN, NY, USA, 21 March 2001]

Life is much shorter than we think, so please, please remain steadfast, and stick to pure Shariah. Do not bend under any pressure, however severe it may be. The torment of Hell is much more severe. Do not be lulled by any benefit if it is against the Shariah (such as getting a loan with interest to help Afghanistan etc.); the benefits of Jannah are much greater and everlasting.

May Allah (SWT) strengthen you and your Iman with each new day and shower His numerous blessings upon you and your families, and upon the companions of our beloved Prophet (SAWS), for surely your sacrifices are great. May Allah Almighty also grant all the Martyred brothers the highest Jannah and accept their ultimate sacrifice. Brothers, please keep up the call for Jihad; which other Muslims have ignored and deliberately abandoned in pursuit of their own selfish desires, which may not be good for them in the long run. Allah (SWT) has said that Jihad is something that Muslims should not be afraid of, it may be that something is good for you and you may not like it, and you may like something that is not good for you. That is the case with Jihad, it should not be abandoned for it is the only way out of slavery and persecution at the hands of the Kuffar. It is indeed a great struggle but the fruit that it bears are even sweeter and greater for generations to come. Jihad is the only way to alleviate sufferings and to guarantee rights of individuals, no other organization such as Human Rights can do that, we have already seen how successful they were in Bosnia, Kashmir, Palestine, Kosova, and many more places. And why would the Kuffar guarantee the rights of Muslims when they themselves want to see us obliterated? So my dear brothers keep up this struggle, it is the only sure way to gain victory and freedom from oppression for this Ummah, as our Lord has promised. Thus, we must not make excuses, instead we should submit ourselves wholeheartedly and answer to the call of the One in whose hands lies our return and the call of those who are oppressed. It is the only way to show how much we truly love Allah and how committed we are to His Deen. Their is no doubt in my mind that Mujahideen of Chechnya have beautifully shown this commitment over and over again every time they lose their loved one. May God bless all the Mujahideen and their families everywhere, and may He make it easy upon us to join their ranks (Ameen)." [Sister AK, USA, 19 March 2001]

"Why Muslims Need to Protect Muslims. While I was in the US Military I had the opportunity to travel to many countries. After training, the men would go looking for alcohol and women. I often wondered what they would do if they were to go to Muslim countries. I surely thought since there is no alcohol or since Muslim countries don't have prostitutes they wouldn't find anything. But to my surprise I have found out that this does not stop the gangs that are rich with money and resources when they go to war torn Muslim countries. I was even surprised to find out from one of my friends that while he was in Bosnia that there is a kid called "The God Father". This kid could get you any thing you wanted. At that time it hit me and I realized that their (soldiers) lifestyle has no limits or morals. Granted that some stayed away from such things and I have seen with my own eyes some of them become Muslims, but this is just a few handful my brothers and sisters. At this time I wondered why our Ummah let non-Muslim forces protect the Muslims? In Bosnia they put an embargo at time of persecution of Muslims and that gave the non- Muslims the perfect opportunity to rape and kill for about 3 years till the average Muslim like you and me went to Bosnia and fought back and start gaining ground. Only then did the UN intervene and act as helpers in fear that Muslims will eventually win and build back Bosnia as a pure clean Muslim country. Why do we let these forces continue in ruling/ protecting the Muslim war torn countries and let them take our affairs in to their hands? Brothers & Sisters I am not saying go out there and do un-Islamic acts of terrorism, I am simply asking you why we are not protecting our Muslim brothers and sisters and letting non-Muslims do it? Is it not clear from the Holy Quran and Sunnah that they are our brothers and sisters? Why did the Serbs that were in charge of the rape camps of Bosnia only get about 10 or so years in jail? Do you call this justice? What's wrong with us brothers? Will their killing and raping of our women at their free not be a wake-up call for us????? Brothers and Sisters WAKE UP!!!!! If we don't protect our Muslims sisters, who have already been shattered and their honour already taken from them, then Allah will replace us and bring Muslims who will. Brothers and sisters, remember the time when the Khalifa readied an army to send against Rome because the honour of one Muslim woman was at stake. Look at us now. We can't even protect one sister from being raped and they have raped thousands!!! So are you going to go home to your football game and entertainment or are you going to get up and do something???"

"Salam alaikum my dear Mujahid brothers and sisters of Chechnya: may Allah always keep you united, healthy and strong. BBC's recent interview of Putin was more entertaining than informative. Though full of pointed questions about Chechnya, the diplomatic correspondent was more impressed by his charming personality and his personal life, than the facts. When questioned about the truth behind Russian aggression in Chechnya, Putin pulled another lie out of his bag of tricks now claiming that Russia was acting in retaliation to Chechen incursions into other ex-Soviet states. In light of the facts that the entire world knows but refuses to admit, such a statement was not only ridiculous but an insult to everyone's intellect. But the real punch line came when Putin declared that all this Russian aggression was really necessary to 'defend Europe' against the Islamic Chechens, and he believed Islam to be the real threat to the entire free world. This is truly one of the most comical statements, when even now, European and American nuclear missiles are all pointed towards Russia and likewise Russian missiles towards Europe and the US. I do not understand how a potential enemy with a political record dripping with blood, is now all of a sudden a self declared crusader for the world.
It is also interesting why the 'civilized' world sees Islam as a threat, because if the a true Islamic system means an abolition of all the prevalent evils from society, such as nudity, alcohol, rape, murder, torture, theft, oppression, aggression, interest, hoarding etc., and the protection of the innocent and the weak, and justice and peace for all, then this world has come a full circle, from prehistoric days to civilization and back to prehistoric days again.
The Muslim world remains asleep. They feel that Allah 's wrath will never reach them. If the increasing number of warnings in the form of earthquakes, draughts, and general misery does not wake the Munafiqs up, then soon they will be no more if Allah Wills. Developing Muslim countries continue to show their shameless weakness in looking to their UN and NATO masters for a few scraps off their tables. They have no dignity, shame or any fear that they will soon be taken to account by Allah.
Islam is not just a system of meaningless rituals, it means to incorporate Allah's direction in your life completely, and failing that, the punishment for Muslims will be far worse than for the Kuffar because they have broken their covenant with Allah. Very sadly, many Muslims have taken Islam to be a box of chocolates, from which they conveniently chose the flavours they like and discard the rest. My dear Mujahid brothers my prayers continue for you. As much as I would like to participate with you in eliminating the Russian devils, my inability to do so chews away at me. The least I can do is pray and with the written and spoken word, try and wake up the Ummah and the eyes of the world to the truth and the impending promise and warning of Allah. It is Allah from whom we came and it is to him whom we must all return, early or late. May Allah bless and keep you all united and strong." [Brother TN, NY, USA, 12 March 2001]

May Allah (SWT) grant Shahaada (Martyrdom) to our brothers who have been fighting for the Cause of Allah. Ameen!" [Sister NAL, Philippines, 14 March 2001]
"May Allah bless the Muslim defenders of Palestine, Chechnya, Afghanistan, Kashmir, Philippines, and everywhere else our brave Mujahideen are fighting to keep the light of Islam alive. Our prayers are with you." [Brother F, Vancouver, Canada, 12 March 2001]

"Assalamu alaikum, I don't think there are any words to be said which can raise the morale of the Mujahideen. How can one's morale be any higher when he knows all this pain, withstanding bitter cold will lead him to eternal reward, and save him from the blazing Fire. So instead I direct my words to those brothers who haven't yet joined the caravan. My brothers and sisters, how long should we talk about unity, talk about the weaknesses of Islam, talk and talk and yet not accomplish anything but more talking. Almost everyone here says in their email something along the lines of "I sincerely want to be there with you". So the one thing I say to you: we all have excuses of why we aren't there, but the question is intention and preparation, as Allah the almighty said, if you really wanted to join the ranks, you would have made some preparation for it. Brothers, let us all prepare." [Brother J, USA, 10 March 2001]
"Assalaamu alaikum respected Mujahideen of Chechnya. Please know that you a symbol of hope for all of us Muslims throughout the world. Never give up. You are constantly in our duas and forever in our hearts. May Allah (SWT) grant you victory in Chechnya. May Allah scatter the Russians before you. May Allah (SWT) grant you sovereignty over Russia itself. Ameen. My dear elders and brothers, the Ummah is in disarray. We are under attack in every village, in every country throughout the world. We ask of you who are out in the path of Allah, whose dua's are readily accepted, please make dua for us, make dua for this Ummah of the Prophet (SAWS). Even here in South Africa we are under attack. Even our places of worship are not sacred to the Kuffar. Our Sharia is made a mockery of and Muslims here are automatically treated like criminals. Please make dua that we are successful. It may be that a time will come when we will need to follow your example and take up the sword. So be steadfast for us, and give us hope and proof that indeed all power and all might is in the hands of Allah (SWT). May Allah (SWT) grant every single one of you Jannatul Firdous! Ameen."

"Assalamu Alaikum dear brothers and sisters. I hope that this letter finds everyone in good health and high Iman. This is the first time that I was able to visit the site and actually get a first hand idea of what is going in Chechnya and every other place that the Mujahideen are. I always hear second hand because I don't watch TV. Alhumdulillah that we have so many good brothers and sisters who care. It really breaks my heart that my husband and I can't be with you all due to financial situation. May Allah make it easy for us all. My heart is bleeding to be of some help. So the best way right now is to remind all of Allah. Insha Allah, you are the best in the Sight of Allah and the promise of Paradise is yours if your heart is pure and you die for the sake of Allah. Keep your intention straight and focus because one day you will meet your Lord Allah. May Allah bless sister Hawa for her great courage. I am the same age as her and now she is in my heart, in my prayers and my thoughts. A woman who fought for this wonderful Deen. She will be a role-model for me and an example I can use with the women, when we talk about Jihad. I would have loved to be by her side but we all know that Allah was with her. May Allah give you all victory over the enemy. We care about you and we will keep you all in our prayers." [Sister H, Canada, 10 March 2001]

"Asalaamu alaykum. While all of us have spent our Eid in the comfort of our homes, our brothers in various parts of the world have been undergoing the harsh tortures of fighting, injuries and propaganda to preserve this Deen. We see our brothers in Afghanistan who have said that they will destroy the idols in their land and the whole world has got up against them to try to preserve these statues, and not doing anything while people are being butchered in Chechnya, Indonesia, Burma, Palestine and Kashmir. The only people to support the Taliban were the Chechens. It brings to mind the saying of a scholar: as for those leaders who have been educated in the West, who have not even sweat for what they have got, what right do they have to rule the lands of the Muslims. The right belongs to those who have fought for the land and have spilled their blood, they know the value of what it cost. May Allah give the Mujahideen all over the world a quick victory."

"Assalamu alaikum. Insha Allah I will be by your side, and fighting with you. I feel my brothers' and sisters' pain and Insha Allah my Iman will grow strong to fight the the Jews and the Christians who oppress us. I will not forget the brothers who died for Allah for I will be thinking about them and the Iman will grow stronger. We have suffered too long and it is time to fight the oppressors. Eid Mubarak to my brothers and sisters." [Brother MA, USA, 08 March 2001]
"Many salaams to all of the Ummah, especially the brave Mujahideen of Chechnya. Words cannot express what I feel for you, nor can my tears. Please be assured of the immense support you have, many of whom do not have the time to email and others who cannot be as vocal due to their position in government. O Mujahideen of Chechnya, my son who was born to me is named Mujahid, in hopes that he may follow in your footsteps. The Muslims of later ages will recall this legitimate Jihad on your part but most importantly, on Yaumul-Qiyamah, Allah will recognize you. Please be assured. There are many many Muslims, who not only support you but are preparing themselves for the inevitable war against all the oppressors." [Brother M, Canada, 07 March 2001]

"My dear Mujahid brothers and sisters of Chechnya: salaam alaikum. May Allah always keep you all united healthy and strong. On a recent Internet interview with the BBC, Putin the butcher responded to a barrage of intelligent and pointed questions from reporters from the BBC, Independent Russian News Agencies and a Dutch lady on the cruelty and barbarism of the Russians in Chechnya in his usual derisive way, incredibly accusing them all and the world of ignorance, by stating "...These questions reflect how a significant number of people in the West do not understand what is happening in the Caucasus, especially in Chechnya,..'' and to the question of the plain truth of the futility of the Chechen campaign, by BBC, Putin replied, "...We believe the Russian army's actions are aimed at liberating the Chechen people from the terrorists who had seized power there...".
After all the bloody carnage, reports, video footage, photographs, eye witness accounts, from both European, Asian and even Russian News groups, clearly implicating the Russian army and other Russian "security" forces such as the FSB, Russia's incontrovertible participation in the planned murders, rapes and tortures of helpless Chechen women, children and men whose tortured corpses are still being recovered from "Russian Murder Pits", if the Council of Europe and its "Human Rights" Commissioner still have doubts or if after all this the world is still left wondering if Putin is not lying and distorting facts, then I no longer have any hope in the intellect of the 'free civilized world' and I hereby proclaim all humanity and common sense as officially dead. But then again is it not typically European to lap up all the rubbish and lies of Putin and treat any desperate words of the Chechen victims a utter lies? Can Muslims ever expect any justice from the world? We can rest assured - never. And as such, we must unite now or one day wake up to find the Russian soldiers or other oppressors snorting in our back yards, telling the world that they are there to protect us from ourselves. May Allah bless and keep you all, and bring greater victories with each new day. Ameen." [Brother TN, NY, USA, 07 March 2001]
"My Muslim warriors, assalaamu alaikum. The world cries for the idols and threatens the Taliban with 'dire consequences'. Where was this outcry when the Serbs and Croats demolished the Mosques in Bosnia and Croatia and killed Muslims? Where was the outcry and the threats against the Hindus when they destroyed the Babri mosque? Where was the outcry for the destroyed Mosques in Chechnya and Kosovo? Or for the millions of Muslims who have been massacred since the destruction of the Islamic empire? My brothers and sisters in Islam, put down the TV remote control and pick up the Quran, it is time to act." [Brother MCP, USA, 07 March 2001]
"Assalamu alaikum and Eid Mubarak to all those battling evil around the world. Its strange that these people in the West consider themselves the most educated in the world, who know everything about everything, yet they are the most foolish people, and can be deceived so easily. Look at how Russia has deceived everyone into thinking this war is over, while its still raging. This, simply by keeping the media out. No media coverage convinces most people that the war is finished and the Russian army has finally won over those rebellious Muslims. O Muslims what are we really doing? Are we making dua after every prayer? Is that what we consider enough? No, and I think the Shaitan is deceiving us into thinking this is enough, into thinking by doing this we have done our part. And who deceives more than Shaitan. Dua is necessary, but let us not fool ourselves pretending like we have done enough by making dua. What is our excuse before Allah? When Allah asks on Yawm-ul-Qiyama: O you who call yourself a believer, did I not instruct you to fight? Didn't you see that there was a battle, a Jihad going on? What kept you from heeding My call? What is it my brothers and sisters, was it our studies? Were we too anxious to get our masters degree so we can start making money? Is it anxiety to get married? Do we consider ourselves still young? Are we fooling ourselves into thinking we will go later in life? Are we trying to boost our Iman and repent before we go? These are all not excuses O Muslims, these are simply deceptions of Shaitan. Allah says in the Quran, surely if you had the intention to go out, you would have made some preparation for it. I say, those who Allah is addressing are the hypocrites. Look at yourselves, does this verse describe you? Or do you want to put off repentance and our duties. Do not think that just because we are young, we will live long lives and have plenty of time to repent. We can die this second if Allah willed. Once again, let us not be deceived. My brothers and sisters, let us repent this second. Let us repent and stop all haraam we are doing, let us not chase after the minor things in this life which Allah has purposely made appealing to test the Believers. Let us prepare ourselves for Yawmud-Deen. And let us prepare to march into Jannah, before we are forced to march in submission into the worst abode which is Hell. May Allah bless and give victory to His soldiers. Ameen." [Brother JR, USA, 07 March 2001]

We prayed for you this Eidul Adha as we prayed for you at Eid last year. Your sacrifice is our sacrifice. Never surrender. Even here in New Zealand, in the deepest South Pacific, the furthest from Makkah and more distant from Chechnya than you could imagine, we Muslims think of you constantly. We offer prayers to Allah alone for the Chechen Mujahideen, the Shuhadaa and their families, and the refugees in Ingushetia, every day in our Mosques and our homes. May Allah curse your opponents and let their sons see the beauty of Islam and your holy Cause, and convert to your side in the near future. Ameen. May Allah (SWT) bless you all."

"The Nationalist Party of Canada calls upon the Government of the Russian Federation and President Vladimir Putin to cease and desist its campaign of violence against the people of Chechnya and to immediately withdraw all personnel from Chechnya. It is time for Russia also to stop its propagandist denials to the world of the murders, torture and atrocities it has inflicted upon the innocent people of Chechnya and to admit these crimes. It is unfortunate that Russia has fallen prey to that part of its criminal element perpetrating these murders and tortures. After three generations of committing and exporting the criminal conspiracy of communism, it is time to step back and recognize that its actions have passed the point of a "policing operation" and now exist as crimes against humanity. Do it now and save what is left of the reputation of the Russian nation and people." [Mr. RMS, Toronto, Canada, 06 March 2001]

"I pray for all my brothers & sisters in Chechnya who at this moment in time are probably going through extreme hardship and pain. We as Muslims must realise that the battle between the truth & falsehood will only prevail through Jihad & Ilm. It is shameful for me that I cannot take part in the Jihad but please pray for me so my Iman increases & I can also earn the Pleasure of Allah. I live in the heart of Europe & the war against Islam & Muslims seems to be growing bigger. Just today on Eid I saw on the media how the world condemned the Taliban for planning to destroy the statues of Buddha. This just shows why the non-Muslim world does not scream when innocent children (real humans) are slaughtered in Palestine, Kashmir, Iraq and Chechnya & when Babri Masjid was destroyed in India in front of millions & the systematic rape and torture of innocent Muslims in Kashmir, Bosnia, Kosovo, Chechnya. It is high time that the Muslims start taking control of media within their own countries & fight the Kuffar from all fronts. May Allah protect those who strive in His Path. Ameen. Remember, Paradise is made for the believers & Jihad is the most direct route you can take." [Brother A, UK, 05 March 2001]

You are probably celebrating Eid your own special way in a style none of us can relate to as we are too low in status - your celebration is in the company of angels in the midst of blood and snow, in the mountains under heavy fire! While we are sacrificing animals, you, my beloved brothers, are sacrificing your own selves for Allah! While we give puny Eid gifts to one another, your gifts, my brothers, are so much to this Ummah that we cannot thank Allah enough for having you. Above all are your gifts of your lives and possessions to Allah, that I pray, He (SWT) accepts in the best way (aameen). There hasn't been an update on the news for the past few days and I pray everything is well with you all. I constantly think of you and make dua for you, O pride of this Ummah!

Success is for the believers who are fighting and are martyred in the Path of the God Almighty, and not for self-profit. After reading the latest news on qoqaz about how the Russian army is treating the Muslims in Chechnya, I feel deep pain in my heart. We Muslims are too helpless. Now what can we do? 400 years ago Muslims gave protection to all the people of the world, but now we have become so helpless that we have to be ask protection from others. It is just because we left the Commands of Allah. If the Muslims even today turn to Allah and ask forgiveness and follow the Quran, Allah will give them the same respect and honour as they were given when they were 100% Muslims. The double policy of the big Shaitan (America) is now unmasked to all over the world: that if any Muslim country wants to have arms for self protection they are punished by UN sanctions and attacked by political and financial pressures. When non- Muslim countries take arms then it is OK for self protection. But we Muslims should not lose hope. Allah will punish the disbelievers for their atrocities and arrogance. My dear brothers, you are few in number, but you are in the hearts of all the believers and we all are praying for you.

"Salaam alaikum my dear Mujahid brothers and sisters: may Allah keep you all united, healthy and strong. The world's conscience is dead and that is grotesquely apparent when it ignores all of the evidence from not just the Russian journalists, like Anna Politkovskaya, but also other independent observers who have reported the outrage and the dire crimes committed by the filthy Russians against innocent Chechen children, women and men. Not only are the injustices against Muslims in Chechnya ignored by the world, but also those being perpetrated upon the Muslims of Algeria, Afghanistan and even in Borneo, Indonesia. It is amazing indeed that the ire of the world was not raised when countless Afghan children, women, the aged and infirm starved and froze to death and are still dying at the Afghan border with Pakistan, but a few abandoned statues have garnered more attention and world condemnation than all the tortured Muslim corpses of Chechnya, Bosnia, Albania, Afghanistan and Kosova. Such utterly gross and sickening display of selfishness and skewed priorities of the UN and certain Western and Asian countries give strength to the general Muslim conviction that there is indeed an international conspiracy to dominate and subjugate or eradicate all Muslims in the world. Do a couple of Statues, as ancient as they may be, hold greater value than human life ? Can the world seriously stare at the dead faces of the innocent children of Chechnya and Afghanistan and still feel the affront to their delicate cultural sensibilities? Muslim lives are worth less than the dogs and cats which seem to be deserving so much more importance and attention. The UN was quick to condemn the Taliban for destroying some statues, yet to date its assistance to the starving Afghan and Chechen refugees living in the most morbid conditions is at best negligible. When will the selfish world learn not to pontificate and to leave Muslims to follow their own ways and their own religion. The Taliban are right in determining that its necessary to destroy these abandoned statues as they serve no other purpose than perpetuate the ignorance of Idol worshipping from which we have come so far. The West should not tell them how to run their country, or how to form their policies and laws or how they ought to live their lives. Just as the Taliban are not imposing their will on the West, the West ought to respect the decision of the Muslim Taliban leaders and back off. May Allah bless and keep you and guide you all, Ameen."

"Assalamu alaikum dear brothers and sisters in Islam; after reading the experiences of Anna Politkovskaya in Chechnya no one will dare not to say Jahannam (Hell) is for the dhalimun (oppressors).

Jannah (Paradise) is Haq for the believers, Alhamdulillah. Allah is sufficient as a Projector and Guardian for the believers and we Muslims put our trust in Him alone.
Let those (believers) who sell the life of this world for the Hereafter fight in the Cause of Allah, and Whosoever fights in the Cause of Allah, and is killed or gets victory, We shall bestow on him a great reward. And what is wrong with you that you fight not in the Cause of Allah, and for those weak, ill�treated and oppressed among men, women, and children, whose cry is: "Our Lord! Rescue us from this town whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from You one who will protect, and raise for us from You one who will help." Those who believe, fight in the Cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of T�gh�t (Satan, etc.).

"Salaam alaikum my dear Mujahid brothers and sisters of Chechnya: may Allah bless and guide you and keep you all united healthy and strong. Ameen. The Western media is 'surprised' and 'shocked' at the barbarity of the Russian army and at their lies and deception to cover up their crimes against innocent Chechen children, women and men. And as stupid and idiotic as it sounds, they are still waiting for more confirmation that the stories of mass executions, horrible torture and rape of even children and men and women by the Russian army and the FSB are true. Did it have to take the abuse of the Russian journalist, Anna Politkovskaya for the world to realize the truth of what the Chechen Muslims have been saying all along? Soon this will be all forgotten by their media anyway. How absurd can all this get? As Muslims we are not shocked. We are not shocked at what the Russians have done to us and neither are we shocked at their the usual round of lies and deception. The deepest wound of all, is the deafening silence from the Muslim World. Whether out of fear of losing their comfort or out of mischief, the Munafiq leaders of every Muslim country did not even raise a protest, let alone any show of unity or strength. This was not lost on the Serbs, the Croats or the Russians who frequently commented that their savage acts had received the silent approval of the Muslim world, which did not raise even an eyebrow at the sight of torn and burnt bodies of Muslims in these lands. We cannot and should not rely on those who are naturally our enemies to help us. They, the Kuffar, are not our masters. Allah is the Supreme and controls all. The time has come when all Muslims, those who are not only Muslims by name, but whose lives are not given to selfish comfort and of music and dance. Those who have the heart of a lion beating in their chests, not of a cowardly, snivelling, slimy snake, and whose eyes are moved to tears to see their mothers & fathers, their sons and daughters and wives butchered, blinded, burnt, raped and savaged in unimaginable ways. It is time to say "enough!!" and take their place in the ranks of those upon whom Allah and His angels smile. This life is just a passing phase, the final and permanent stage is almost here. The question is will we Muslims act to live in the permanent bliss of Paradise, or the permanent sufferings of Hell? Muslims arise, and shake the yoke of shame and servitude. Live and die like lions not like mindless sheep. Be Muslims. May Allah wake us all up from our sleep. May Allah bless and keep you all. Ameen." [Brother TN, NY, USA, 01 March 2001]

Truly speaking, at a time when the Muslim Ummah is being subjected to all forms of atrocities by the Kuffar, it is people like you who feel for the Ummah and fight for them, thereby helping them gain a stronger faith in Allah and His religion, and instilling a hope in their hearts of a day not far away when they would be freed from the yokes of tyranny. It is people like you who glorify the name of Islam and show the Kuffar that there are people out there, both men and women, who are near to Allah the Almighty and are forever ready to lay down their lives in His Path, to uphold His Laws, to help their brothers and sisters who have been made victims of the anti-Muslim policies of the unbelievers. It is people like you who show the Kuffar the penalty for waging war against Allah and the believers. I pray that you succeed in your aim, that you free our brothers and sisters from the clutches of the enemy, that you inflict such heavy damage upon your opponents that they would never think of making war with the Muslims again. Whether in Chechnya, Kashmir, Palestine, Afghanistan, or anywhere else in the world, I pray that the Mujahideen succeed in their struggle against the Kuffar and inflict upon them a crushing defeat. The enemies of Islam may have sophisticated arms and artillery, but such things can never deter you, the Mujahideen, for you have the Supreme Power on your side, and nothing can come near to the Power of Allah, who will surely make these infidels pay for their violent acts against the believers. My dua also goes out to the families and near and dear ones of my brothers and sisters who have been killed by the Kuffar, to my brothers and sisters who have been so brutally tortured, and to my sisters who have had to suffer the humiliation of rape. I pray that Allah give them strength to carry on with their lives and instil in their hearts a strong faith, and may He grant them a good life in the Hereafter for all that they have suffered. And as for the Mujahideen, may Allah grant them a very noble rank in Paradise. You will always be in my prayers, and I request you to pray for me too that I may join you in your battle against the enemies of Islam. Ameen!" [Brother MR, India, 01 March 2001]
Exclusively for you O Mujahideen of the Battlefield!
Oh how much do I love you, I have no words to say! Pray for you, oh yes I do, Every time I pray. Think of you, oh yes I do, Every night and day. Every day I check your news, So that perhaps I may, Be part of every good and bad, All that comes your way. I hope I can be with you, In that everlasting day. When none are our worries, All sorrows washed away. In the company of Allah, Forever we shall stay! O Allah how to please you?! In all we do and say?! That is the key to everything, We wish for night and day. O Allah how to please you, In all we do and say. " [Sister AM, USA, 23 February 2001]

"I can't tell you how mad I am after reading about the new atrocities performed by the Russian military. I just can't help thinking, that all the Russians are the same: murdering liars and cowards. Curse them!!! I hope that you will conquer soon and that some strange plague will strike down the entire Russian realm. Curse them, the thieves and rapists! May the One God bless you in your toils." [Mr. PH, Finland, 28 February 2001]
"O Muslim why do you run away?
The doors of Jannah open wide, And the Houri calling to her side, O Muslim why do you run away? What's wrong with you? Why do you sway? When Allah's made your way so clear, And Paradise is very near. O Muslim why do you run away? What's wrong with you, why do you sway? Is the worldly life so pleasing that, You will forsake Jannah for that? And upon yourself take Allah's wrath?! O Muslim why do you run away? What's wrong with you, why do you sway? [Sister AM, USA, 23 February 2001]
"Salaam alaikum my dear Mujahid brothers and sisters of Chechnya: may Allah keep you united, healthy and strong. It is a hadith of the Prophet (SAWS) that a time will come when in spite of a large population of Muslims, their love for temporary life of this world will be at its peak and they will have fear of death. Muslim dignity and humanity is dead, even in the face of open world aggression against their brothers and sisters the world over. They still look upon the UN as their saviour, in spite of its aggression against Muslims in Afghanistan, where it has politicized its aid to favour the Munafiqs, or in Bosnia where the UN not only remained silent while Muslims were being butchered by the Serbs and Croats, but it indeed was fully complicit in aiding the massacre by blocking all arms sales to the Muslims so that they would not be able to protect themselves. But whether its the member countries of the UN, NATO or the EU, their enmity is all too apparent and marked. They assail us with their chief weapon the media, portraying Muslims as demons and branding us a terrorists when we fight back any oppression. They then pound us with bombs, strip our lands of its resources, the oil and minerals and enrich themselves at our expense over the corpses of Muslim women, children and men. Indeed Muslims have become lepers in their own lands. However, the true Muslims are also beginning to rise. If one looks deeply at our Chechen or Taliban Afghan brothers and sisters, aside from the depiction's of the Western and Munafiq Secularist media, the face of the purity of their Jihad becomes vivid. And then one knows that just as those opposed to Allah openly beat their drums of war against Muslims, Allah the most high and all powerful, too is planning and has already shown through the hand full of the true Muslims of Chechnya and Afghanistan that a change is coming soon and fast. Ameen. May Allah bless and protect you all. My prayers continue for you." [Brother TN, NY, USA, 27 February 2001]
"Dear brothers in Chechnya, our Mujahideen. Praise be to Allah who has made you the pride of each and every Muslim in this world; for making you a beacon to all the valiant Mujahideen and the Mu'mins; for protecting the flame of Islam that provides warmth for my brethren out in the cold. O Allah. Please bless my brothers of Chechnya, Palestine, Kashmir and elsewhere, with victory over the foes of Islam. Enlighten their lives and spirits with your grace. Accept their Martyrdom to give them a place near the Sahabas of our Prophet Mohammed (SAWS), the highest order in the eternal Paradise" [Brother AA, India, 28 February 2001]
"Dear brothers, assalamu alaikum! Not a single day passes when I do not pray for you. I have been punctually reciting the "prayer of believers" after Salat in my supplications. I sincerely pray to Allah (SWT) to accept me as a Mujahida in the Path of Allah and grant me Martyrdom, so pray for me." [Sister AK, Pakistan, 27 February 2001]

"Assalamu alaikum to all the Mujahideen. I pray that Allah (SWT) protects you. You have given us a reason to hold up our heads and call ourselves Muslims. You must keep firm on the right path and our prayers are with you every day and every night, that Allah (SWT) helps you in every way to make His Word clear. I appeal to all the Muslims everywhere to help the Mujahideen and the refugees in any and every way possible. If the difference between truth and falsehood has not become clear to you, it very soon will, which path will you choose then? Your Muslim brothers and sisters are suffering, will you not take heed? I would like to point out the economic slowdown in the West. I know many Muslims have invested heavily in the West, shameful as it may be, hoping it would bring them rich returns. The only sure investment is with Allah (SWT), He guarantees your return. Muslims are in dire need of your assistance, but they patiently rely on the help from Allah (SWT), and they ask nothing from you except your duas. Suhanallah! Can you have a faith more pure than that? I pray with all my heart and all my soul that Allah (SWT) help and protect the Mujahideen from the right, from the left, from above and from below, and with the full extent of His Mercy and guide the rest of us to the right path. Ameen." [Sister AA, UK, 07 April 2001]
"Assalamu alaikum. Insha Allah the Mujahideen will establish Islamic Shariah in Chechnya, and other parts of the world. I pray that we will have an Islamic country, with one Ummah and one Khilafah. Insha Allah the Islamic Flag will raise again, and there would be a place we could call home" [Brother RA, USA, 09 April 2001]
"Assalamu alaikum. May Allah bless all the brothers who have done an excellent job of showing the Muslims what Jihad is like, and encouraging them to fulfil the 'forgotten obligation'. I swear by Allah, the story of the sister who sacrificed her life to bomb the Russian base, makes us Muslim 'men' look like wimps. May Allah protect us from cowardice and selfishness. "O you who believe! what is the matter with you, that when you are asked to march forth in the cause of Allah [Jihad] you cling heavily to the earth? Are you pleased with the life of this world rather than the Hereafter? But little is the enjoyment of life of this world as compared to the Hereafter" (9:38)." [Brother AA, London, UK, 07 April 2001]
"Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. Dear brothers of Islam, I am glad and happy that our mothers are still birthing Mujahideen like you who are fighting like lions for the Cause of Islam and will fight till the day of Judgement comes. We were born to spread Islam on Allah's earth. We all pray for you and Allah will give you guidance." [Brother IM, Saudi Arabia, 07 April 2001]
"Assallamu aalikum. The Jihad in Chechnya is one of the biggest Jihads today. May Allah (SWT) accept the Mujahideen and all those who support them. Pray that one day I go for Jihad." [Brother DTA, USA, 07 April 2001]
Added 07 April 2001 "Peace and blessing to all Muslims in the world, qoqaz.net is a wonderful website. It gives uptodate information and we Muslims are also being taught some important topics.

"Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. Assalamu alaikum to all the Mujahideen brothers . May Allah keep you on the right path. I am really very happy to hear that the Russian army is withdrawing from Chechnya. I pray that very soon there will be Islamic Shariah (rule) in Chechnya and all over the world."

"Assalamu alaikum. My heart goes out to all the Mujahideen fighting in the name of Allah (SWT). May Allah (SWT) reward you for all your endless efforts. I pray for you." [Brother S, UK, 05 April 2001]
"Assalamu alaykum!!! I notice many sincere brothers sending emails telling the world of their desire to go to Jihad and sending their support for the Mujahideen. I understand that dua is a very powerful way of helping our brothers in Sheeshan (Chechnya). However...more is needed in the way of Jihad!! It is Fardh (obligatory) for us to go and help with defensive Jihad, which Alhamdulillah Sheeshan is. So don't think twice. We don't need permission from parents to go for defensive Jihad!!! If our hearts truly desire the Martyrdom then let us make some actions that prove what is in our breasts. Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! Keep up the work my brothers in Islam and I wish to join you soon." [Brother OH, USA, 06 April 2001]

"Salaams. My name is ** and I'm from Macedonia. I love you all and you should know that I'm very proud of you. And every time I pray for my brothers in Chechnya.

"Assalamu alaikum. To our Muslim brothers in Chechnya, Kosova, Kashmir and all over the world, Insha Allah, you will achieve what you set out to do.

I am also striving to be a soldier of Allah." [Brother MNA, Malaysia, 02 April 2001]

"The air fills with sounds of artillery, shelling the homes nearby. Drowning out the voices of the innocent, the elderly and their cry.
While the dead of heart sleep, there are others who are awake. They fear no one, and their land is ready for the take.
The enemy is filled with terror. And he cannot see straight. He thinks he will kill us all, to be able to go home that night. Little does he know, that this is not about might. It is about those Mujahideen, who lie for you in wait!
The world can say what it wants. Even put on us, the blame. But we fight not for our own purpose, rather, in Allah's name.
So be warned O Enemies of Islam. There is nothing you can do. Khattab is out there, and he's coming for you." [Brother MS, Canada, 29 March 2001]
"I am really glad to see our people fighting for a great cause. I wish they succeed in the future. I too have a burning desire to help them out. To do Jihad with them. I too have the desire to die for such a great cause" [Brother HB, India, 31 March 2001]
