Below is a video recording of Anis Amri, the now-deceased mujahid who massacred twelve people and injured dozens more by running a truck into a crowded Berlin Christmas market last week. In it you’ll hear the murderer pledge allegiance to the Islamic State and Caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
The subtitles in this video were translated from the German text in previously-existing subtitles. Both sets of titles are obviously much shorter than Mr. Amri’s actual words, so either the original is in flowery Arabic that can be condensed to a few simple sentences, or some of his message has been left out — I don’t know which.
Many thanks to Nash Montana for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes for the subtitling:
Transcript:
| 0:03 | All praise to allah and blessings and peace unto the prophet Mohammed. | |
| 0:10 | I am here, blessed, to obey the caliph Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, | |
| 0:13 | whatever he commands me to do, | |
| 0:16 | even if I am reluctant, | |
| 0:19 | and to continue to do unless I am ordered to do something | |
| 0:22 | that I know for sure is forbidden in Islam. | |
| 0:35 | I pledge also to work for Islam and to rule, | |
| 0:38 | to judge, and to be judged according to Islam, | |
| 0:41 | and to work hard until the Islamic state | |
| 0:44 | is well founded and established. | |
| 0:47 | Ultimately I promise to actively participate in jihad | |
| 0:50 | against the enemies of allah as much as I can. | |
| 0:53 | And to those unbelievers who every day bomb Muslims, | |
| 0:56 | I pledge that we will hunt them like the pigs they are. | |
| 0:59 | We will kill them for what they do to Muslims. | |
| 1:06 | Did you think that what you do to them will go unpunished? | |
| 1:14 | There are masses of Muslims in the entire world | |
| 1:17 | who are ready to take revenge on behalf of those Muslims | |
| 1:20 | who are killed every day. | |
| 1:23 | And they will be avenged because we are strong, | |
| 1:26 | and we are determined to pay the price | |
| 1:29 | for the actions against our Muslim brothers and sisters. | |
| 1:32 | And I summon my Muslim brothers and sisters | |
| 1:35 | in the whole wide world to participate in this jihad as well, | |
| 1:40 | and to fight for the dominance of our religion | |
| 1:43 | as much as each of you can. | |
| 1:50 | And if you cannot join your brothers on the front line | |
| 1:53 | then fight for Islam in your country. | |
| 2:02 | and if they live in Europe | |
| 2:05 | then fight against these pigs there, | |
| 2:08 | each according to his own abilities. | |
| 2:11 | May allah grant us success in this fight. | |
| 2:15 | I commit myself to allah and I pledge | |
| 2:18 | to shed as much blood as is needed | |
| 2:21 | for Islam. | |
| 2:24 | I pray to allah to smooth the path, | |
| 2:27 | to kill those unbelievers | |
| 2:30 | who fight Islam and Muslims. |
“We will kill them for what they do to Muslims”.
Islam commands muslims to kill non-muslims, simply for being non-muslims.
