An Invitation for Reflection and Repentence
قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَى أَنفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِن رَّحْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ. وَأَنِيبُوا إِلَى رَبِّكُمْ وَأَسْلِمُوا لَهُ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمُ الْعَذَابُ ثُمَّ لَا تُنصَرُونَ. وَاتَّبِعُوا أَحْسَنَ مَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُم مِّن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمُ العَذَابُ بَغْتَةً وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَشْعُرُونَ
“I tell everyone who hears my voice that in spite of the trials and tribulations a bright and promising future is in store for Islam and its champions and a bleak and barren future is in store for unbelief and its advocates and helpers so if you are not on the side of Islam or are in the ranks of it’s enemies, then ask God for guidance and make the right choice and repent before it’s too late.”
الحمد لله الذي أنزل في محكم التنزيل؛” فهزمزهم بإذن الله وقتل داوود جالوت وآتاه الله الملك والحمة وعلّمه ممّا يشاء؛ ولولا دفع الله النّاس بعضهم ببعض لفسدت الأرض، ولكن الله ذو فضل على العالمين”
والحمد لله القائل: ” إذ تبرّأ الذين اتُبعوا من الذين اتّبعوا و رأوا العذاب و تقطّعت بهم الأسباب، و قال الذين اتّبعوا لو أنّ لنا كرّة فنتبرّأ منهم كما تبرّؤوا منّا، كذلك يريهم الله أعمالهم حسراتٍ عليهم و ما هم بخارجين من النّار”
والصّلاة والسّلام على المبعوث رحمة للعالمين،قدوة السّالكين وإمام المجاهدين، نبيّنا ورسولنا محمّد وعلى أله وصحبه ومن تبعه بإحسانٍ إلى يوم الدّين.
أمّا بعد؛
“All praise is due to Allah, who set down in the perfect Qu’ran ‘So they routed them by the permission of Allah, and David slew Goliah and Allah gave him sovereignty and wisdom and taught him of what he pleased, and were it not for repelling some men with others, the earth would be full of corruption; but Allah is Gracious to the world.’ (2:251)”
“And all praise is due to Allah, who said: “If they could only see when those who were followed shall disown their followers and shall see the punishment and all their ties to each other shall be cut, and the followers shall say ‘if we could only return we would disown them just like they have disowned us’. Thus will Allah show their works as regret for them and they shall not come out of the fire.” (2:167)”
“And may peace and prayers be upon he who has sent mercy to the world, the role model of the traveler, and leader of the mujahideen, our Prophet and Messenger, Mohamed, and upon his family, companions, and righteous followers, unto the day of Resurrection.”
“In light of the undoubtable defeat of America’s crusades in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the crushing blows being taken by its allies, proxies, and puppets around the world. And as America’s senior officials shuttle back and forth from one crusader disaster zone to another in a desperate attempt to salvage what remains of America’s prestige. And after Bush brought together his loyal puppets in Annapolis to agree on the Judaization of Palestine, we felt it necessary to address the American people and explain to them some of the facts about these critical and fast moving events; event decisive to the history of America of the World”
“The first question Americans might ask is ‘has America really been defeated?’ ”
“The answer is ‘Yes’. And on all fronts. American and Coalition officials have stated repeatedly that they are unable and unwilling to face the mujahideen in Iraq and Afghanistan militarily, but are still trying to win the battle for hearts and minds, which they have also lost in spectacular fashion despite the equally spectacular amounts which they have spent in payoff and propaganda as they prepare to hand the whole mess over to their local proxies who, assuming they already haven’t, shall soon come to rue the day they sold their religion to the American devils and joined forces with the enemies of Islam and Muslims.”
“As for the refusal of most of your leaders to openly admit defeat to you the American public and the contradictory statements they make to the media – this is nothing but another example of the official efforts to cover up the disaster and another example of their low opinion of your intelligence and faculties of comprehension.”
“So, to bring you up to date and clear up some of your confusion, let’s just take a brief look at the most important of these American defeats.”
“In Iraq, defeated American generals frantically figure out how to cut and run without having to admit defeat to the American public, a topic doubtlessly forming the major part of Gates’ discussions with Petraeus on December 5. Meanwhile, American forces and their local proxies appeared to have suffered the heaviest of losses at the hands of the mujahideen foremost among them the Islamic State of Iraq led by the mujahid Emir Abu Umar al Baghdadi who oversees the implementation of Islamic Shari’a and directs the jihad against the unbelievers and apostates in the areas subject to the Islamic Emirate, which the Americans and their new-found friends, the so-called ‘Awakening Councils’ and other groups of turncoats will continue to be incapable of destroying, with God’s help and power.”
“In other developments, American officials quickly downplayed the remarks of Al Maliki who declared the defeat of Al Qaeda and, not-so-Great Britain hands over control of its last province in the South.”
“In Afghanistan, bruised and battered NATO forces, at first willing partners in a coalition they assumed was victorious, are now unwilling to commit more than they already have and instead are preparing to pull out, despite America’s urgent pleas for them to stay on to the bitter end to cover its own retreat and despite Gates master document and numerous cross-Atlantic salvage missions and visits to Kabul, the mujahideen of the Taliban and Al Qaeda under the leadership of Mullah Muhammed Umar, Mujahid, now have a permanent presence on more than 54% of Afghan soil according to recent Crusader reports. And in the areas under their control, implement the Islamic Shari’a, which the Americans and their proxies and puppets came to destroy. And, in a measure of just how desperate their situation has become, the coalition and their crowned puppet king could find nothing better to celebrate than the recapture of a single district center in Helmand which their combined forces were incapable of taking for ten whole months.”
“Meanwhile, Brown of Britain talked about continuing efforts to get Afghans to give up what he called violence against the coalition and learn to live in peace with the infidels. It is clear Brown doesn’t know much about Afghans.”
“In Somalia, Africa’s worst humanitarian disaster according to recent international reports, no thanks to the meddling of America and her allies, America’s savage Ethiopian proxies, and her Somali hunting dogs, suffer defeat after defeat at the hands of al shabab al mujahideen (the youth of the mujahideen) prompting Rice’s emergency visit to Addis Abbaba to discuss the crisis and the developing threat to America’s plan in the Sudan and elsewhere in Africa.”
“In the Islamic Maghrib, the western half of the Crusader’s disaster zone, the mujahideen of Qaeda and Jihad organization continue to pound the apostate government in Algiers and its foreign backers and the martyrdom-seekers strike with ease at the symbols of the regime of unbelief, the constitutional court, and at the offices of the organization which insists on portraying itself as an impartial humanitarian organization even as it is used by the tyrants of this world to implement their evil designs and to perpetuate their aggression against the world’s weak and oppressed.”
“In Chechnya, the jihad against the forces of Muslim-killing and nation-destroyer Vladimir Putin and the traitor Kadyrov Junior is in its eighth year and despite the blockade and the betrayals the mujahideen remain resolute and victorious with God’s help and power. And in a shocking and demoralizing development for the Crusader west, and a morale booster for the Muslims, the mujahid, Doku Umarov declared it open season on Muslim killers and enemies of Islam around the world and the Crusaders await their approaching hurricane.”
“In Pakistan, Dictatorship-lover America tried to persuade ? that Musharraf’s removal of his uniform and rerun of the stale tired farce of elections will pacify seething Islamic anger. The mujahideen aren’t fooled by such ploys and continue to strike the ruling regime and its armed thugs and spooks and the heart of their containment, garrisons, and barracks.”
“And last but not least the pivot on which the war today between the Muslims and their enemies today revolves Muslim Palestine, which will remain Muslim in spite of Bush and his puppets, in spite of the racist tendencies of the Jewish occupiers and in spite of conspiracies like the Mecca Accord and the Annapolis Conference. Meanwhile, the occupied territories are awaiting their first visit by the Crusader Bush and the Mujahideen are also waiting.”
وهنا نوجّه نداءا عاجلا، إلى إخواننا في فلسطين المسلمة، وجزيرة العرب خاصّة والمنطقة عامّة، أن يكونوا على أهبة الإستعداد، لاستقبال الصليبي السفّاح بوش في زيارته لفلسطين المسلمة والجزيرة المحتلة مطلع يناير القادم، وأن يستقبلوه لا بالورود والتصفيق، ولكن بالقنابل والتفخيخ، والله مولاكم ولا مولى لهم.
“We raise an urgent appeal to our mujahidin brothers in the Muslim Palestine, the Arabian Peninsula in particular, and the region in general, to be prepared to receive the crusader butcher Bush on his visit to Muslim Palestine and the occupied peninsula at the beginning of January. They should receive him not with roses and applause, but with bombs and booby-traps.”
“And of course no review of American defeats would be complete without a reference to the number of Bush’s Crusader accomplices who’ve been prematurely dethroned due to their complicity in his losing Crusade whether in America like Powell, Rumsfeld, Rove, Gonzales, and Hughes, or abroad like Aznar, Berlesconi, and most recently Howard.”
“How, American’s might ask, is it possible the strongest and best equipped army on earth has been defeated by lightly armed mujahideen? The answer is self-evident. Right triumphs over might. Even Americans have an understanding of this concept as attested to by the numerous novels, cinematic productions, and television programs in which the weaker party wins against all odds.”
“And most of you are familiar with the story of David and Goliath and indeed with the story of Moses and Pharaoh, and many other similar Biblical stories. And I daresay many of you have become familiar with the story of Islam, and how the Muslim Arabs conquered most of known world in the space of a few decades in defeat of the tyrants of their day with little more than their faith and the clothes on their backs.”
“Your problem, however, lies in your flawed understanding of what is right and who are the weak and oppressed victims. For the majority of Americans, right is whatever at least one of the three branches of government deems to be right, even if it entails the killing of thousands upon thousands of innocents, or the violations of the values and principles of which Americans are supposed to hold dear. ”
“For the majority of Americans, right is whatever is deemed to be right by the United Nations Security Council and its American government approved resolutions which have been responsible for the killing of millions of innocent men, women, and children all over the world. This is a fact.”
“And if you don’t believe me, ask Ramsey Clark, former American Attorney General, or thousand of other anti-war campaigners in the West.”
“For the majority of you, the victims are America, and its malignant tumor Israel although both of them are nuclear armed and have at their disposal the arsenals and budgets of Washington and its Western allies, and the moral support and powerful influence of the American evangelicals, Christian Zionists, and Jewish lobby. And both of which are protected and their interests served by the Charter and Resolution of the aforementioned United Nations.”
“In other words, they’re Pharaoh and Goliath, not Moses and David.”
“Muslims of course are much better acquainted with what is right and who the victim is and realize that right isn’t whatever is said, done and commanded by Western Presidents, Prime Ministers, and Televangelists.”
“Muslims know what true values are. True values are those values which Americans ridicule and deride and cast doubt upon because they know nothing of them. Values like adherence to God’s true religion, like liberating oneself and others from oppression, like honor dignity and self-respect, like chastity and moral uprightness, like truth in word and deed, like showing mercy to the innocent, defenseless, and helpless, and fighting for them, and like giving ones life for these values.”
“Here you might protest that you too believe in these values. But once again the problem lies in your definition of these values. Let’s take for example the first one to which I alluded, adherence to God’s true religion.”
“Are you adhering to God’s true religion when you believe in a non-Biblical trio of Gods which you euphemistically refer to as a trinity, a trinity whose essence cannot be explained even by the most learned of Christian theologians? And which bears more resemblance to the triads of the ancient Egyptians, the Hindus, and the other pagans, than to the one God of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, and who said according to your Bible ‘The first of all the commandments is: Hear oh Israel, the Lord our God is One Lord’ (Mark 12:29). ”
“Are you adhering to God’s true religion when you direct the adoration and prayers which are due to God alone to long gone patron saints, or to angels, or to his so-called son Jesus, and the Virgin Mary, even all of them including those of them who are alive in Heaven like the angels, the Prophets, and the Martyrs, are not only incapable of helping themselves much less others, but are unaware of your prayers.”
“Where in your Bible with all of its additions, retractions, and alterations, do you find such things even permitted, much less prescribed?”
“God says in the miraculous Quran:
قُلْ أَرَأَيْتُم مَّا تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ أَرُونِي مَاذَا خَلَقُوا مِنَ الْأَرْضِ أَمْ لَهُمْ شِرْكٌ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ اِئْتُونِي بِكِتَابٍ مِّن قَبْلِ هَذَا أَوْ أَثَارَةٍ مِّنْ عِلْمٍ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ.وَمَنْ أَضَلُّ مِمَّن يَدْعُو مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ مَن لَّا يَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُ إِلَى يَومِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَهُمْ عَن دُعَائِهِمْ غَافِلُونَ.وَإِذَا حُشِرَ النَّاسُ كَانُوا لَهُمْ أَعْدَاء وَكَانُوا بِعِبَادَتِهِمْ كَافِرِينَ
“Say to them ‘Tell me about what you call upon the equals of Allah. Show me what they have created of the Earth. Or do they have a share in the creation of the heavens? Bring me a book revealed before this or some trace of knowledge in your support if you indeed speak the truth. And who is more misguided who instead of praying to Allah pray to those who will not answer them to the Day of Resurrection and are unaware of their prayer? And when mankind is resurrected after death, the false deities will be enemies of their worshippers and will deny their worship.’ (46:4 – 6)”
“Regrettably, Christianity today, whether Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, or otherwise, is nothing but various combinations of Jesus-worship, Mary-olatry, iconolatry, Cross Worship, saint worship, and even Pope and priest worship. Not to mention blatant idolatry in some far-off regions, where rather than oppose and eradicate prevailing pagan beliefs and practices the churches prefer to assimilate them, this of course being an ancient Christian tradition since the era of the so-called Apostle Paul, who was among the first to adapt the religion of Christ to pagan tastes and this is why for example you today believe in a trinity and celebrate Saturnalia and the birth of Mythra.”
“The question is how can you be so receptive to the worship of others in addition to God or instead of God when the first of the Ten Commandments in which you claim to believe is ‘I am the Lord thy God which brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the House of Bondage; thou shalt have none other Gods before me; thou shalt not make me any graven image or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thouself to them or serve them for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God.’ (Exodus 20:2-5, Deuteronomy 5:6-9).”
“Here the opponent might object that many among the Muslims are also guilty of polytheistic beliefs and practices and unIslamic superstitions. So what’s the difference? The difference is that first of all, genuine Islam continues to be practiced today by the majority of the Muslims in contrast to Christianity in its original form which became extinct a long, long time ago.”
“And the second difference is that Muslims are actively engaged in reforming their societies by combating these polytheistic innovations and proving their invalidity and incompatibility with the source text and this is something that Christianities are incapable of doing even if they wanted to because in contrast to Islam, which as God has promised continues to be available direct from the pristine, undefiable sources, Christianity’s sources have been lost to history and its stubborn adherents must depend on the unreliable, mistranslated Bible of vague origin and uncertain authorship to tell them what God says and wants of them.”
“This is literally playing with fire. A fire from which there is no escape should one die in unbelief. And this is why today anyone truly wanting to know and worship the one God and save him or herself from the punishment of the fire has no choice but to believe in the final, unaltered, unabrogating message, the Qu’ran and has no choice but to follow its final prophet and messenger Muhammed, and the commands and prohibitions which were revealed to him by God.”
“Indeed, were Jesus, Moses, and the other Prophets alive today they would also have no choice but to follow Muhammed, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and when Jesus returns at the end of time to kill the antichrist, as prophesied by Muhammed, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, He will also rule according to the Qu’ran and will force the followers of the other religions to enter Islam or else.”
“And the fact is more than anything else, it is our faith in the one God and our confidence in his promise of victory and our reliance on him that has brought us to where we are today and bled your budget dry and emaciated your military.”
“And similarly, it is your baseless and doubt filled faith of yours which more than anything else has defeated your soldiers and leaders for if they really believed that they are saved or that God loves them and they are destined for paradise, they wouldn’t flee so cowardly from the battle at the first shout of Allah Akbar.”
“But then again, what else should we expect from the misguided Western Crusader Civilization which claims enlightenment and rationality then lends credence to the claims of a French nun who thinks she was healed by a dead Polish pope. Even as it scoffs at us when we say that the living God gives us victory to his believing slaves who pray to him alone.”
“God says:
وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِي سَيَدْخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِينَ
‘And your Lord says ‘Pray to me. I will answer your prayer. Verily those who are too arrogant to worship me shall enter hell lowly and defiled’.’ (40:60)”
“And God says:
هُوَ الْحَيُّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَادْعُوهُ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ.قُلْ إِنِّي نُهِيتُ أَنْ أَعْبُدَ الَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ لَمَّا جَاءنِيَ الْبَيِّنَاتُ مِن رَّبِّي وَأُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُسْلِمَ لِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ.هُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُم مِّن تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ عَلَقَةٍ ثُمَّ يُخْرِجُكُمْ طِفْلًا ثُمَّ لِتَبْلُغُوا أَشُدَّكُمْ ثُمَّ لِتَكُونُوا شُيُوخًا وَمِنكُم مَّن يُتَوَفَّى مِن قَبْلُ وَلِتَبْلُغُوا أَجَلًا مُّسَمًّى وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ
‘He is the living God. There is no God but He. So pray to Him, devoting your worship wholly and sincerely to Him. All praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. Say, I have been forbidden to worship those whom you call upon beside Allah since there have come clear proofs unto me from my Lord; and I have been commanded to submit myself solely to the Lord of the worlds.’ (40:66-67)”
“You also claim to be liberating the peoples from oppression. But today in order to fight the Islamic State of Iraq, and the other fierce mujahideen in Mesopotamia, and try to pave the way for the America loving, Israel protecting secular regime demanded by the Crusader West and its despotic agents in the region, your government and military is working with former Ba’athists, murderous Shi’ite fanatics, and Mosa’ad backed Kurds and driving an army to generate militias like the Kurd backed Peshmerga, and the so-called Awakening Councils, which commit all sorts of crimes and violate all manners of rights in order to further American and Israeli designs and stuff their own pockets with greenbacks or shekels as the case may be.”
“And today your government and military subcontracted dirty work to international and local mercenaries who are subject to no law and observe no moral code and have taken hundreds if not thousands of innocent Iraqi and Afghan lives most recently slaughtering in their trigger-happiness over 60 elementary school students at a sugar factory in Baghlan, Afghanistan according to eyewitnesses and United Nations reports.”
“If these coalitions for the defense of anarchy which your government and its proxies bring together everywhere you go are liberators from oppression, then give me the oppressors any day.”
“I wonder. Does it hurt your consciences to know that your British allies are handing over control of southern Iraq to what your parliament reports are murderous and corrupt police forces, infiltrated by the Iranian backed Shi’ite militias, who specialize in the killing of Iraqi civilians from all sectarian affiliations and the sidewalk murders of allegedly immoral women in line with their quasi Islamic twisted Khomeini-inspired beliefs? Does it bother you that when coalition troops make their escape from the rest of Iraq, they’ll be handing over large swathes of Iraqi territory to the same Shi’ite death squads as well as to the tribal militias whose track record is no better when it comes to treatment of Iraqis in general and Iraqi women in particular? ”
“This, to put it in terms you can understand, is the equivalent of a 160,000 plus occupation army of Timothy McVeigh clones handing over responsibility for the security of Nebraska to police forces made up of Robert Hawkins replicas, led by a group of David Koreshes in turbans and black robes, with apologies to Timothy McVeigh and Robert Hawkins who weren’t known to have engaged in processes like waterboarding, gang rape, murder by drill, ritual self-flagellation, and targeted assassinations of women.”
“But doesn’t it seem strange to you that Mrs. Jay Leno and Mrs. George W. Bush and the former Mrs. Woodie Allen and their friends have failed to express their outrage at this criminal misogynistic behavior which your government and its allies are engaged in and encouraging in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, and the other countries which their coalitions for the defense of anarchy have torn apart at the seams and turned into humanitarian disasters far outweighing the disaster in Darfur, which by the way, your government bears at least part of the responsibility for? ”
“Doesn’t it seem as if your angry celebrity female activists only spring into action when their campaigning doesn’t conflict with your regime’s foreign policy and in fact serves its colonist designs? ”
“And why didn’t we hear an outburst from them when ugly crime committed in Chad, by the criminal non-governmental organization Zoe’s Ark which kidnapped over a hundred Chadian Muslim children from their parents’ arms with the intention of selling them in the West as Darfurian orphans to be brought up as Christian slaves?”
“Unfortunately this sinful Christian operation which the Chadian government only revealed and put a stop to so it could use it for political leverage is but the tip of the iceberg of the lucrative opportunities which the Darfur crisis has opened up for the warmongers, mercenaries, traffickers, and missionaries who make up the Zionist Crusader alliance. ”
“And if this wasn’t such a lucrative field, how else to explain why some people turn so violent when they are turned down for missionary training.”
“It is said that one is known by the friends one keeps. If so, then what to say of America, which in addition to teaming up with the career criminals, psychotics, serial killers to whom I referred just now, also boasts among its friends, allies, and proteges some of the world’s worst dictators and tyrants, people like the neo-Soviet Vladimir Putin, the devil in human form Islom Karimov, the Pharaoh of Egypt Hosni Mubarak, and the dictator who is holding on to power by the skin of his teeth Pervez Musharraf.”
“Even Qadhaffi, the Syrian Ba’athist regime, North Korea, and yes, Iran, are now increasingly on America’s good side after acquiescing to American demands to disarm and cooperate with it in the war against Islam.”
“This all goes to show that America cares nothing for bringing freedom to the Islamic world and that when it talked about liberation it is thinking of, quote, liberating, unquote, the Muslims from their religion not from the rule of the tyrants who repressed them with America’s blessing.”
“America wants to force upon the Muslims by any means possible the aspects of democracy which are incompatible with true monotheism, like secular constitutions, majority rule, positive law courts, and legislative councils which are at war with God and set themselves up as rivals to him in legislation which is His right alone.”
“Whereas Muslims need and want Islamic constitutions based exclusively on the Qu’ran and Sunnah, Shari’ah courts, and Muslim rule in accordance with God’s law.”
“As for the concepts which are mistakenly considered synonymous with democracy but have their origin in divine law and are present in Islam such as the right of the nation to choose its leaders, such as the accountability of the rulers to the people in the judiciary, and the right of the people to restrain them from oppression and corruption, such as respect for the position and standing of the judiciary, and protection of sanctity and human dignity, America wants none of that for us as evidenced by its open and secret support of the autocratic dictators of our region like Musharraf, Mubarak, Abdul Ibn Abdul Aziz, and the rest of the disgusting America loving, Islam hating club of tyrants and torturers. ”
“Haven’t you seen how American leaders and their spokespeople describe them as democrats and valued friends and describe the rigged elections and referendums they run as free and fair even as they impose and lift emergency law according to whim and stack the judiciary with local sycophants to sustain their hold on power and clamp down on all opposition and dissent to satisfy their tyrannical craving and kill Muslim women, children, and Ulema in the Red Mosque, the Al Jof Mosque, and elsewhere? ”
“This then is the tyranny which America fosters and supports worldwide and this is why we oppose all calls for democracy whether American or otherwise, not because we hate freedom as the real freedom-haters so hypocritically claim, but because we neither need nor want this unIslamic system whose good aspects are present in the divinely ordained system which we are fighting to establish.”
“And this is why Muslims mustn’t look for help in the Crusader West, nor in the atheist east, nor in the international law from the United Nations, nor put their hope in unIslamic systems like Democracy nor in the polytheistic parliaments nor in the judiciaries which rule by other than what Allah has revealed. No, each Muslim must reform him or herself and those for whom he or she is responsible and must place his trust in Allah and ask His help and must place his hand in the hands of the Muslim mujahideen who are fighting the Americans with their puppets and proxies from Islamabad to Baghdad and beyond and he must support them with everything he can because in them is the Muslim’s only hope from Allah for deliverance from the Satanic-Crusaders-Zionist-Hindu-Athiest-Apostate nexus sitting on the Muslims’ chests. ”
“I don’t mean to imply from the review of the excesses and atrocities completed by America and its allies, proxies, and puppets that America itself doesn’t have blood on its hands. Of course not, America talks about truth, justice, and the American way and most Americans think they are the nicest people and greatest nation in the history of the world yet your government and military have for more than 230 years been one of the world’s foremost and most prolific liars as well as one of its most unjust regimes and one of the greatest violators of America’s professed values.”
“Today as well as yesterday America’s armed forces engage in mass casualty aerial bombing much of which is now fully automated as if you are dealing with money transfers and not matters of life and death. And much of which depends on so-called intelligence from satellites and spy planes which sorry to say don’t distinguish between friend, foe, and innocent bystander, in the same way that white phosphorus and depleted uranium also pick their victims indiscriminately.”
“Today as yesterday America’s homesick, half-mad soldiers rape, pillage, and murder then plant weapons and fabricate reports to cover up their evil deeds.”
“And today, more than ever before America’s military and intelligence services are guilty of the most atrocious forms of torture and unlawful and arbitrary detention of innocents in Iraq, Afghanistan, Guantanamo, and elsewhere, including on American soil.”
“The unspeakable acts the barbaric America interrogators commit in those hellish chambers of torture and cruelty, the horrors and humiliation they visit upon their innocent Muslim victims, and their mocking and desecration of the Islamic religion and persecution of the Muslims for their faith – these atrocities shall never be forgotten nor go unpunished.”
“So the CIA can destroy as many videotapes as it likes because everything is being recorded by God in a book which records everything in minute graphic detail and whose entries are only erased by repentance.”
“God says in the inimitable Qu’ran:
وَمَا نَقَمُوا مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا أَن يُؤْمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَمِيدِ.الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَاللَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ.إِنَّ الَّذِينَ فَتَنُوا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُوا فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ الْحَرِيقِ.إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتٌ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ ذَلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْكَبِيرُ. إِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدٌ.إِنَّهُ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ.وَهُوَ الْغَفُورُ الْوَدُودُ.ذُو الْعَرْشِ الْمَجِيدُ.فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ
‘And they only bore malice towards them because they believed in Allah, the almighty, the praiseworthy, to whom belongs the Kingdom of the Heavens and the Earth, and Allah is witness to all things. Those who persecute and burn the believing men and women and then repent not for them is the punishment of hell, for them is the torment of burning. And those who believe and do good works, for them are gardens under which rivers flow. That is the supreme success. Verily your Lord seething and revenge is severe. It is he who begins punishment here and will bring it back in the hereafter. And he is the most forgiving, the loving, the Lord of the throne, the Glory, Doer of what he wills.’ (85:8-16)”
“When we talk about the abuse of Muslims for being Muslims, we’re not talking about something secret or unknown or something of which you, the American people, are unaware. No. You’ve seen the pictures on television and heard the testimony and read the documents and reports. ”
“And not just that but the abuse of Muslims has been perpetrated and continues to be perpetrated right under your noses on American soil. The mass detention of Muslims in America following the retaliatory strikes of September 11 is sufficient evidence of that. ”
“But it is the individual case studies which are most disturbing.”
“I will mention here just two well documented examples which no one can deny.”
“First, the American denial of the most basic amenities, rights, and medical treatment to the blind, elderly, and ill Sheikh Omar Abdul Rahman, whom your FBI and its informants framed as a gift to your Egyptian friends. ”
“And second, the Americna court order prohibiting John Walker Lindh or Hamza, the American Taalib, from speaking in Arabic, the language of Islam to the extent that he is unable to open his mouth in prayer or read the Qu’ran out loud or even exchange the Muslim greeting As Salaam Aleikum with his fellow captive believers lest he be thrown in solitary confinement or otherwise punished by the sadistic prison wardens and guards.”
“If this is how your so-called justice system treats a Muslim born and raised in America, and eligible for all the supposed rights accorded American citizens, then it doesn’t take much imagining to figure out how it’s likely to treat the average Muslim who is not so fortunate to have been born with US citizenship. ”
“And for this reason and in a symbolic act of protest at America’s continuing detention and mental and physical torture of Muslims like Sheikh Omar Abdul Rahman, John Walker Lindh, Abu Zubaydah, and thousands of others like them, and in protest at the cruel and barbaric treatments it metes out to millions of innocents around the world, and in symbolic rejection of the American citizenship which honorable, decent, and compassionate people are ashamed to carry I will now proceed to destroy my American passport.”
“Yes, this is the original passport”
“Don’t get too excited, I don’t need it to travel anyway.”
“Liberating our prisoners from the blood-soaked talons of the American eagle is a burden which we carry and our defensive jihad against you will remain our duty as long as there remains one Muslim in American captivity.”
“That’s why it is incumbent upon you to take these steps necessary to force the regime in Washington to free each and every one of them, wherever they are and whatever their supposed crime.”
“One last question for the people of America. Who is it who has led you into the predicament you are in today? ”
“I think you know the answer.”
“It’s that group of fanatics who views the world through a twisted pre-millenious prism formed by its dubious interpretations of Daniel, Revelations, and other books of equally dubious origin. ”
“It’s that group of fanatics which claims to be pro-life and cries over aborted fetuses and even embryos but appears to have no qualms about killing children in the womb and even in the cradle on two conditions: that they be Muslim children, and that their mothers and the rest of their family be killed along with them in the Israeli air raid or American missile strike.”
“It’s that group which talks about ethics and morality and criticizes the media at home but sees nothing wrong with ruining the morals of a generation of Muslims by drowning them in a flood of filthy western media to make them single minded slaves of their lusts and desires and thus further enhance the security of America and Israel. ”
“It’s that group which feigns distrust and suspicion of United Nations organizations even as it uses it as a tool and vehicle for world domination.”
“It’s that group which is more Israeli than the Israelis themselves.”
“It’s that group which considers Timothy McVeigh, Robert Hawkins, Matthew Murray, and those like them to be depraved criminals while defending their right to bear arms but considers the uniformed child killers of the American Army and Marines and what is known as the Israeli Defense Forces to be heroes.”
“It’s that group which claims to take scripture literally but violates every commandment in the book when to do so serves its interests.”
“It’s that group whose noncompliance with the Biblical and Qu’ranic ban on usury or transactions involving interest has finally blown up in their face or in their faces in the home mortgage crisis which is threatening the economy of America and the world. ”
“It’s this group of militant fanatics which has taken nuclear armed America to the brink and is hoping to push it over the edge as soon as possible in order to hasten the 7 year tribulation period, the rapture, the second coming, and Armageddon, not necessarily in that order. ”
“And it’s this, and it’s this group of fanatics that is playing with fire and fiddling with the destiny of the entire world. And because of this well heeled well connected group of militants that you’re now in a battle to the death with the Muslims who wouldn’t be fighting you today were it not for the political and economic influence and imperialistic designs of these unholy rollers. ”
“These then are your real enemies. So isn’t it about time you stood up to them? I don’t mean that you should elect the so-called “opposition party” which is merely the flip side of the same coin of oppression and aggression and which also serves the interests of these fanatics through the Jewish lobby and other avenues of indirect control.”
“No, it’s time for you to take the radical, serious, and logical steps which bring results. It’s time for you to do whatever it takes to force these fanatics representatives in Washington whether Republican or Democrat to heed the legitimate demands of the Muslims as spelled out by Sheikh Osama bin Laden, Sheikh Ayman al Dhawahiri, and others in a series of messages to you and your leaders.”
“And it’s time for you to disown these militant money grubbing fanatics who fill their churches and coffers by scaring people with false prophecies of approach of the end-time tribulations which may or may not occur in our lifetime and whose time only God knows, whereas Muslims are bound by the divine command to altruistically invite to the truth by preaching God’s monotheistic message as brought by his messengers and reminding people of the approach of death, resurrection, and judgment which every soul is guaranteed to experience.”
“So take the logical steps and abandon their corrupt ungodly religion for the simple, moderate, and reasonable religion of Islam. The only way to worship God today after the abrogation and alteration of previous revealed laws, and might I add the only law which they fear, because unlike the pliant, manipulable, man-made legal codes of today, or the abandoned laws of the Bible which are now nothing more than ink on paper, the living, breathing, divine justice of Islam threatens their ill-gotten gains and capital, threatens their war-mongering, and threatens their political influence. ”
“Hence, their never-ending smear campaign intended to give you the wrong impression about Islam. This is a matter of unparalleled importance, so don’t wait until it is too late, until you’ve seen the punishment with your own eyes, and these charlatans or their ruling representatives have disowned you and all ties between you have been severed, upon which you’ll wish you could come back to disown them as they have disowned you.”
إذ تبرّأ الذين اتُبعوا من الذين اتّبعوا و رأوا العذاب و تقطّعت بهم الأسباب، و قال الذين اتّبعوا لو أنّ لنا كرّة فنتبرّأ منهم كما تبرّؤوا منّا، كذلك يريهم الله أعمالهم حسراتٍ عليهم و ماهم بخارجين من النّار
“If they could only see when those who were followed shall disown their followers and shall see the punishment and all their ties to each other shall be cut, and the followers shall say ‘if we could only return we would disown them just like they have disowned us’. Thus will Allah show their works as regret for them and they shall not come out of the fire.” (2:167)”
“In closing I tell everyone who hears my voice that in spite of the trials and tribulations that a bright and promising future is in store for Islam and it’s Champions and a bleak and barren future is in store for unbelief and its advocates and helpers so if you are not on the side of Islam or are in the ranks of it’s enemies, then ask God for guidance and make the right choice and repent before it’s too late.”
“God says in the magnificent Qu’ran:
قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَى أَنفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِن رَّحْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ. وَأَنِيبُوا إِلَى رَبِّكُمْ وَأَسْلِمُوا لَهُ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمُ الْعَذَابُ ثُمَّ لَا تُنصَرُونَ. وَاتَّبِعُوا أَحْسَنَ مَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُم مِّن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمُ العَذَابُ بَغْتَةً وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَشْعُرُونَ
‘Say: Oh my slave who have sinned against their souls, despair not of the mercy of Allah, for Allah forgives all sins. Verily he is most forgiving, ever merciful, and turn to your Lord and submit yourselves to him before there comes unto you the punishment, for then you shall not be helped, and follow the best of what has been sent down to you from your Lord, the Qu’ran, and his commandments and prohibitions before the punishment comes upon you suddenly while you perceive not.’ ”
“I send these verses of God’s book to every unbeliever in the hope that through them God will open his or her heart to Islam and I send them in particular to the thousands of soon to be veterans from America’s twin Viet Nam’s, Afghanistan and Iraq, who will have to live with the consequences of their evil deeds for the rest of their lives and for whom even suicide and death will offer no respite from the pain, sorrow, and feelings of abandonment should they end their lives in unbelief.”
“Listen to me, and listen to me carefully. Before you lose your mind to flashback and drug and drink induced dementia and before your demons drive you to self-destruction and suicide. ”
“In these verses, God calls out to each and every one of you saying God forgives all sins. So whatever you’ve done, whatever crimes you’ve committed, however many innocents you’ve gunned down, however many idols you’ve worshipped, God will forgive you for that and change your even deeds into good deeds should you simply stop, repent, and enter Islam by saying ‘Ashadu an la illaha il Allah, wa ashadu ana muhamedan rasul Allah’, ‘I testify that there is nothing deserving of worship other than Allah, and Muhammed is the Messenger of Allah’. ”
“And then following your words up with action, and worship of, and worship of, and obedience to him alone, according to the way shown to us by the final Prophet of God, Muhammed, may peace be upon him.”
“And God willing you will find in your Muslim brothers welcome, empathy, mercy, and forgiveness you’ll never even dream of finding among the Christians and those resembling them.”
“And, if you are among those favored by God to be on the side of Islam, then thank Him, and ask him for guidance, resolve, and a good ending because the hearts of the slaves are between two fingers of the most compassionate and he turns them as he wills, and for that reason the prayer most often recited by the prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was ‘Oh Allah, turner of the heart, steady my heart on your religion’.”
اللهمّ صلّ على محمّد، كما صليت على إبراهيم وعلى إبراهيم إنّك حميدٌ مجيد
اللهمّ يا مثبّت القلوب، ثبّت قلوبنا على دينك، وطاعتك يا ياربّ العالمين
اللهمّ مكّن لأهل شريعتك في الأرض
وانصر عبادك المجاهدين في كلّ مكان
ووحّد صفوفهم واجمع كلمتهم،
وانصرهم على عدوّهم ياربّ العلمين
اللهمّ مكّن لدولة الإسلام في العراق،
والإمارة ا
