Ayman al-Zawahiri quotes

Ayman al-Zawahiri was an Egyptian-born militant and the longtime leader of al-Qaeda after Osama bin Laden's death. His involvement in global terrorism shaped the strategies and operations of radical Islamist groups worldwide. He was one of the most wanted terrorists and played a key role in several major attacks. Here are 2 of his quotes:

The Sheikh has departed, may God have mercy on him, to his God as a martyr and we must continue on his path of jihad to expel the invaders from the land of Muslims and to purify it from injustice. Today, and thanks to God, America is not facing an individual or a group, but a rebelling nation, which has awoken from its sleep in a jihadist renaissance. (Ayman al-Zawahiri)

We have endured a lot of harm from Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and his brothers, and we preferred to respond with as little as possible, out of our concern to extinguish the fire of sedition. But Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and his brothers did not leave us a choice, for they have demanded that all the mujahideen reject their confirmed pledges of allegiance, and to pledge allegiance to them for what they claim of a caliphate.
