...And also I'm doing this because of the rewards, the big rewards that Allah has promised us - we'll step on his path and Inshallah (Allah wiling) become martyred and the best amongst us is in the world is the guarantee of Jannah (Heaven) for myself and those that are close to me. And on top of this, it's to punish and humiliate the Kuffaar (non-Muslims), and to teach them a lesson they will never forget - is to tell them that the we - the Muslims - are a people of honor - we are a people of 'Izza (domination over non-Muslims)....

"I have participated within this blessed raid for.. upon the enemies of Islam for several reasons - I have sacrificed my life cheaply, within the sake of Allah noticing myself from the life the trials and tribulations but now will fulfill a covenant and promise with Allah almighty - and to make his deen (way of faith) reign supreme."

"We are doing this in order to gain the pleasure of our lord Allah Subhanna wa Ta'ala (glorified and exalted) as Allah Subhanna wa Ta'ala loves those who strive in his path. And Allah Subhanna wa Ta'ala loves the mujahideen. And Allah Subhanna wa Ta'ala loves us to die and kill in his path. And anyone who tries to deny this then read the Koran and will not be able to deny this, because this is the words in the Koran and the words of Allah Subhanna wa Ta'ala - and we will not leave this path until you leave our lands and until you feel what we are feeling (he looks down at script and reads) This is revenge.. for the actions of the USA in the Muslim lands, and their accomplices, such as the British and the Jews."...

• the big rewards that Allah has promised us
• 2:112. Yes, but whoever submits his face (himself) to Allah (i.e. follows Allah's Religion of Islamic Monotheism) and he is a Muhsin (good-doer i.e. performs good deeds totally for Allah's sake only without any show off or to gain praise or fame, etc., and in accordance with the Sunnah of Allah's Messenger Muhammad Peace be upon him ) then his reward is with his Lord (Allah), on such shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. [See Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Vol.1, Page 154].
• 3:169. Think not of those who are killed in the Way of Allah as dead. Nay, they are alive, with their Lord, and they have provision.
  
  3:170. They rejoice in what Allah has bestowed upon them of His Bounty, rejoicing for the sake of those who have not yet joined them, but are left behind (not yet martyred) that on them no fear shall come, nor shall they grieve.
  
  3:171. They rejoice in a Grace and a Bounty from Allah, and that Allah will not waste the reward of the believers.
  
  3:172. Those who answered (the Call of) Allah and the Messenger (Muhammad ) after being wounded; for those of them who did good deeds and feared Allah, there is a great reward.
• 5:85. So because of what they said, Allah rewarded them Gardens under which rivers flow (in Paradise), they will abide therein forever. Such is the reward of good­doers.

• And on top of this, it's to punish and humiliate the Kuffaar
• 2:161. Verily, those who disbelieve, and die while they are disbelievers, it is they on whom is the Curse of Allah and of the angels and of mankind, combined.
  
  2:162. They will abide therein (under the curse in Hell), their punishment will neither be lightened, nor will they be reprieved.
• 8:12. (Remember) when your Lord inspired the angels, "Verily, I am with you, so keep firm those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved, so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes."
  
  8:13. This is because they defied and disobeyed Allah and His Messenger. And whoever defies and disobeys Allah and His Messenger, then verily, Allah is Severe in punishment.
• 8:57. So if you gain the mastery over them in war, punish them severely in order to disperse those who are behind them, so that they may learn a lesson.
• 9:14. Fight against them so that Allah will punish them by your hands and disgrace them and give you victory over them and heal the breasts of a believing people,
• 3:112. Indignity is put over them wherever they may be, except when under a covenant (of protection) from Allah, and from men; they have drawn on themselves the Wrath of Allah, and destruction is put over them. This is because they disbelieved in the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah and killed the Prophets without right. This is because they disobeyed (Allah) and used to transgress beyond bounds (in Allah's disobedience, crimes and sins).
• we are a people of 'Izza (domination over non-Muslims)
• 3:110. You [true believers in Islamic Monotheism, and real followers of Prophet Muhammad and his Sunnah (legal ways, etc.)] are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind; you enjoin Al-Ma'ruf (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam has ordained) and forbid Al-Munkar (polytheism, disbelief and all that Islam has forbidden), and you believe in Allah. And had the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) believed, it would have been better for them; among them are some who have faith, but most of them are Al-FasiqUn (disobedient to Allah - and rebellious against Allah's Command).
• Sahih Bukhari Volume 6, Book 60, Number 80:
  
  Narrated Abu Huraira:
  
  The Verse:--"You (true Muslims) are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind." means, the best of peoples for the people, as you bring them with chains on their necks till they embrace Islam.
• 9:33. It is He Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islam), to make it superior over all religions even though the MushrikUn (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah) hate (it).
• will fulfill a covenant and promise with Allah almighty
• 9:111. Verily, Allah has purchased of the believers their lives and their properties; for the price that theirs shall be the Paradise. They fight in Allah's Cause, so they kill (others) and are killed. It is a promise in truth which is binding on Him in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel) and the Qur'an. And who is truer to his covenant than Allah? Then rejoice in the bargain which you have concluded. That is the supreme success .
• 61:10 O You who believe! Shall I guide you to a commerce that will save you from a painful torment.
• 61:11. That you believe in Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad), and that you strive hard and fight in the Cause of Allah with your wealth and your lives, that will be better for you, if you but know!
• 61:12. (If you do so) He will forgive you your sins, and admit you into Gardens under which rivers flow, and pleasant dwelling in Gardens of 'Adn ­ Eternity ['Adn (Edn) Paradise], that is indeed the great success.
• Allah Subhanna wa Ta'ala loves those who strive in his path
• 2:110. And perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and give Zakat, and whatever of good (deeds that Allah loves) you send forth for yourselves before you, you shall find it with Allah. Certainly, Allah is All-Seer of what you do.
• 2:195. And spend in the Cause of Allah (i.e. Jihad of all kinds, etc.) and do not throw yourselves into destruction (by not spending your wealth in the Cause of Allah), and do good. Truly, Allah loves Al-MuhsinUn (the good-doers).
