A radical hate preacher who fought a ten-year battle to avoid deportation from Britain claims Islam will rise up to 'dominate every land' and destroy the 'state of the Jews'.
Writing in the latest edition of al-Qaeda's online magazine, Abu Qatada also condemned 'filthy' Shia Muslims – aligning some of his ideology with arch enemies the Islamic State.
The glossy publication, entitled Al Risalah, is produced by al-Qaeda's Syrian branch known as Jabhat Al Nusra and is a clear attempt to mirror the stylised propaganda employed by ISIS.
Qatada's introduction as a columnist will be seen as a concerted effort to attract more recruits, particularly from Britain where he was held in prison for many years.
Abu Qatada was finally thrown out of UK in 2013 after a legal battle costing up to £1 million.
He was deported to his native Jordan to face terror charges, but was cleared by judges on the grounds of 'insufficient evidence'.
At the time, it was predicted the fanatic would attempt to radicalise British Muslims from overseas.
Titled Victory Loves Preparation, the latest edition of Al Risalah is marketed as a guide to 'preparing (jihadis) physically, mentally and spiritually' to 'attain victory over enemies and to be taken as martyrs on the battlefield.'
In a four-page article headlined The Markets Of Faith, Qatada takes on this theme by vowing to wipe every other religion around the world.
He writes: 'That's why the coming of this Jihad is a Mercy from Allah.
'He exposes our enemies from amongst the filthy Rawafidh (Shia Muslims), heretics and their beloved friends from amongst the polytheists.
'If (Muslim nations) plot in knowledge that if particular goals are fulfilled and victory is gained for Islam across the globe, it will dominate every land.'
He goes on to say: 'The state of the Jews will soon after collapse by the Grace of Allah'.
