Statements on ISIS and Local Resistance

I’m telling you, a million percent, there is no ISIS.

No one came to the camp except civilians,

the people of the area. I’m from Deir ez- Zor.

This is my final message.

I demand that those who call us ISIS

come see the reality on the ground.

Whoever they may be, whether

a minister,

a media figure, or

a doctor, or

any ordinary person.

Come see the reality, and we are ready to let you into

the camp and tear through

the camp. You thought you would enter this city.

By God, you will enter it only

over our bodies and our remains.

We are subjects of the

Commander of the Faithful.

We want God’s law to be implemented,

and we do not want America’s democracy. You came

with your weapons and equipment,

and we came

with our certainty in God Almighty.

By God, you will not enter this

city except over our remains.

We are subjects of the Commander

of the Faithful. We support our brothers

in the Islamic State, and we tell

them, “You are not fighting alone.” We are fighting

in the path of God and

to uphold the words,

“There is no god but God,” to defeat

these small rabble.
