A holiday greeting from Abu-Musab El-Zarqawi.

In these blessed days

Oh infidels

in which the lions of monotheism

fight against the tyranny of the Crusader infidels and the Shi'ite traitors

on Iraqi soil and the brother of apes and pigs [i.e. the Jews] And the

traitor, the son of traitors in Amman.

A number of lions

from the best and most noble brigade

the Al—Baraa bin Malek Brigade

set out on a new operation against the dens [of evil] that were

established on Muslim soil in Amman in order to protect the faith and

raise the [banner] of monotheism.

Following the blessed attack

by the heroes of the nation,

the lions of al—Baraa bin Malek Brigade, against some of the dens of evil

in Amman, we saw fit to clarify the reasons
 
Why should we bomb wedding feasts?

If we wanted to do so,

there are wedding halls all over the country, with their gates open wide

and unguarded.
 
The report that the brother who carried out the martyrdom operation

exploded himself among the celebrants at a wedding feast is a nothing

but a lie.

As for the Muslims who were killed,

we beseech Allah to have mercy on them

and forgive them,

and swear that they were not the target.

We did not intend,

and would never have intended for a moment, to harm them,

even had they been infidels

The brothers

who carried out the martyrdom operation

meant to target the infidel Crusaders

it was an unintended accident,

which had not been taken into account...
 
To this apostate Jordanian regime, we say:

Today, thanks to Allah alone,

we give you a taste of what you have been doing to the Muslims

fordecades. 

We tell you that the zero hour has come,

and it is time to settle the score.

We will not stop attacking the Jews

and the Crusaders

in the land

which spills the blood

of members

of the purest faith

in history 

This is what befell your ancestors,

the infidel leaders

of the Quraysh [tribe]. [in the time of the Prophet]

Think well of the shame they incurred

in this world

and in the next,

and then remember that you followed them and emulated them,

and even exceeded them in betraying Allah and his messenger....

Oh descendant of traitors,

remember that the one who enabled Abu Mas'ud to overcome Abu Jahal

and cut off his head can do unto you what he did [to Abu Jahal]

Happy Holidays.
