 | | If Zark's so tight with God, why doesn't God clear up that ringworm? |
Iraq's al Qaeda and other militant groups branded landmark elections as ungodly and vowed to keep up their jihad to turn the country into an Islamic state, according to an Internet statement dated Monday.
| Democracy is, of course, a Jewish plot. The only proper government is that of holy men, who talk to God on a daily basis. For some reason, God always wants what the holy men want. |
The statement was posted on an Islamist Web site often used by militants and signed by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's al Qaeda and four other groups including the Army of the Victorious Sect and the Brigades of Islamic Jihad.
"This so-called political process -- and those who take part in these apostate elections -- is forbidden by God's laws and goes against our Muslim constitution, the Koran," the groups said in the statement. "What is going on in Iraq these days is a crusader conspiracy and this political process is nothing but a devilish project aimed against the mujahideen ... We declare that we will carry on our jihad in the name of God until an Islamic state ruled by the Koran is established." |
