FemaleMujahid On May 13, 2010, the "Taifatul Mansura" Turkish‐speaking foreign fighter contingent active on the Afghan‐Pakistani border released a Turkish‐language interview with and photographs of female mujahid “Umm Mohammed”, identified as “a female mujahid with the Islamic Jihad Union in Afghanistan”. Counseling women that they should “leave the worldly pleasures” and “join the Jihad”, “Umm Mohammed” notes that “we have many mujahideen who can’t even eat a hot meal or wash his clothes and misses his family. Don’t think about what you can do for jihad! Even washing the clothes of mujahideen, cooking for them and sewing their clothes brings dignity to mujahideen and contempt to infidels.” She asks, “how can you leave my brothers alone here who sacrificed their life, never sleep and eat and left their home only for the will of Allah? How can you be so indifferent in your home while Islam is being trampled, virtue is disregarded in Iraq, Palestine, Chechnya and in other Jihad lands… How can you ignore all this contempt?"

On June 7, 2010, the "Taifatul Mansura" Turkish-speaking foreign fighter contingent active on the Afghan-Pakistani border issued a message on theTurkish Muslim charitable group Insani Yardim Vakfi (IHH), sponsor of theGaza freedom flotilla. The message stated that “This organization, which wassincere at the beginning, was later used by the MIT (National IntelligenceOrganization) and the Psychological Warfare Department of Turkish GeneralStaff in order to prevent the emergence of a mujahideen movement that couldpose a threat to Turkish government. Both Chechen mujahideen and Turkishmujahideen who have taken part in operations in the Afghanistan Emirate arefully aware of the activities and scheming of this organization. None of thedonations collected by this organization and advertised as if they had beendelivered to the mujahideen were actually received by the mujahideen. Thisis public deception. We, the Taifatul Mansura Organization in the IslamicEmirate of Afghanistan, argue that this organization is only a burden to themujahideen. Amongst the devoted mujahideen who have fought in jihad for

years, this organization is worth nothing.”
