		<description><![CDATA[The U.S. Military Library has interesting reading on Osama bin Laden. For the sake of getting his 9/11 statement from the horse&#039;s mouth, this is Osama bin Laden&#039;s statement to the American people on why he initiated the 9/11 attacks against the U.S. Whether you agree w/his evaluation of the level of American/Western interference in the Middle East and the supposed cultural degradation we&#039;ve inflicted on Islam (what a crock), it is his justification for the 9/11 attacks:


His stupidity began w/his believing that Islam will prevent this sort of cultural evolution within the Ummah and Muslim lands. Where their cultural blindness will continue to lead the more militant Muslims is a major tactical question. I take heart someone like Malala Yusufsai&#039;s father insisted on her achieving an education and that she herself, despite nearly dying from a Taliban&#039;s bullet, has decided to continue on w/modernizing her life. Sharia is better shattered by people like this because I don&#039;t believe we can do a successful job of it as outsiders.
______________________________________________


Online document: the full text of Osama bin Laden&#039;s &quot;letter to the American people&quot;, reported
 in today&#039;s Observer. The letter first appeared on the internet in Arabic and has since been translated and circulated by Islamists in Britain.
Observer.co.uk,
				            Sunday 24 November 2002 07.07 EST	        
        
    In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

&quot;Permission to fight (against disbelievers) is given to those (believers) who are fought against, because they have been wronged and surely, Allah is Able to give them (believers) victory&quot; [Quran 22:39] 

&quot;Those who believe, fight in the Cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of Taghut (anything worshipped other than Allah e.g. Satan). So fight you against the friends of Satan; ever feeble is indeed the plot of Satan.&quot;[Quran 4:76] 

Some American writers have published articles under the title &#039;On what basis are we fighting?&#039; These articles have generated a number of responses, some of which adhered to the truth and were based on Islamic Law, and others which have not. Here we wanted to outline the truth - as an explanation and warning - hoping for Allah&#039;s reward, seeking success and support from Him.

While seeking Allah&#039;s help, we form our reply based on two questions directed at the Americans: 

(Q1) Why are we fighting and opposing you? 
Q2)What are we calling you to, and what do we want from you? 

As for the first question: Why are we fighting and opposing you? The answer is very simple: 

(1) Because you attacked us and continue to attack us. 

a) You attacked us in Palestine: 

(i)
 Palestine, which has sunk under military occupation for more than 80 years. The British handed over Palestine, with your help and your support, to the Jews, who have occupied it for more than 50 years; years overflowing with oppression, tyranny, crimes, killing, expulsion, destruction and devastation. The creation and continuation of Israel is one of the greatest crimes, and you are the leaders of its criminals. And of course there is no need to explain and prove the degree of American support for Israel. The creation of Israel is a crime which must be erased. Each and every person whose hands have become polluted in the contribution towards this crime must pay its*price, and pay for it heavily. 

(ii) It brings us both laughter and tears to see that
 you have not yet tired of repeating your fabricated lies that the Jews have a historical right to Palestine, as it was promised to them in the Torah. Anyone who disputes with them on this alleged fact is accused of anti-semitism. This is one of the most fallacious, widely-circulated fabrications in history. The people of Palestine are pure Arabs and original Semites. It is the Muslims who are the inheritors of Moses (peace be upon him) and the inheritors of the real Torah that has not been changed. Muslims believe in all of the Prophets, including Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon them all. If the followers of Moses have been promised a right to Palestine in the Torah, then the Muslims are the most worthy nation of this. 

When the Muslims conquered Palestine and drove out the Romans, Palestine and Jerusalem returned to Islaam, the religion of all the Prophets peace be upon them. Therefore, the call to a historical right to Palestine cannot be raised against the Islamic Ummah that believes in all the Prophets of Allah (peace and blessings be upon them) - and we make no distinction between them. 

(iii) The blood pouring out of Palestine must be equally revenged. You must know that the Palestinians do not cry alone; their women are not widowed alone; their sons are not orphaned alone.

(b) You attacked us in Somalia; you supported the 
Russian atrocities against us in Chechnya, the Indian oppression against us in Kashmir, and the Jewish aggression against us in Lebanon. 

(c)
 Under your supervision, consent and orders, the governments of our countries which act as your agents, attack us on a daily basis;

(i) These governments prevent our people from establishing the Islamic Shariah, using violence and lies to do so. 

(ii) These governments give us a taste of humiliation, and places us in a large prison of fear and subdual. 

(iii) These governments steal our Ummah&#039;s wealth and sell them to you at a paltry price.

(iv)
 These governments have surrendered to the Jews, and handed them most of Palestine, acknowledging the existence of their state over the dismembered limbs of their own people. 

(v) The removal of these governments is an obligation upon us, and a necessary step to free the Ummah, to make the Shariah the supreme law and to regain Palestine. And our fight against these governments is not separate from out fight against you.

(d) You steal our wealth and oil at paltry prices 
because of you international influence and military threats. This theft is indeed the biggest theft ever witnessed by mankind in the history of the world. 

(e) Your forces occupy our countries; you spread your 
military bases throughout them; you corrupt our lands, and you besiege our sanctities, to protect the security of the Jews and to ensure the continuity of your pillage of our treasures. 

(f) You have starved the Muslims of Iraq, where children die every day. It is a wonder that more than 1.5 million Iraqi children have died as a result of your sanctions, and you did not show concern. Yet when 3000 of your people died, the entire world rises and has not yet sat down. 

(g) You have supported the Jews in their idea that Jerusalem is their eternal capital, and agreed to move your embassy there. With your help and under your protection, the Israelis are planning to destroy the Al-Aqsa mosque. Under the protection of your weapons, Sharon entered the Al-Aqsa mosque, to pollute it as a preparation to capture and destroy it. 

(2)
 These tragedies and calamities are only a few examples of your oppression and aggression against us. It is commanded by our religion and intellect that the oppressed have a right to return the aggression. Do not await anything from us but Jihad, resistance and revenge. Is it in any way rational to expect that after America has attacked us for more than half a century, that we will then leave her to live in security and peace?!! 

(3) You may then dispute that all the above does not justify aggression against civilians, for crimes they did not commit and offenses in which they did not partake: 

(a) This argument contradicts your continuous repetition that America is the land of freedom, and its leaders in this world. Therefore, the American people are the ones who choose their government by way of their own free will; a choice which stems from their agreement to its policies. Thus the American people have chosen, consented to, and affirmed their support for the Israeli oppression of the Palestinians, the occupation and usurpation of their land, and its continuous killing, torture, punishment and expulsion of the Palestinians. The American people have the ability and choice to refuse the policies of their Government and even to change it if they want. 

(b) The American people are the ones who pay the taxes which fund the planes that bomb us in Afghanistan, the tanks that strike and destroy our homes in Palestine, the armies which occupy our lands in the Arabian Gulf, and the fleets which ensure the blockade of Iraq. These tax dollars are given to Israel for it to continue to attack us and penetrate our lands. So the American people are the ones who fund the attacks against us, and they are the ones who oversee the expenditure of these monies in the way they wish, through their elected candidates. 

(c) Also the American army is part of the American people. It is this very same people who are shamelessly helping the Jews fight against us. 

(d) The American people are the ones who employ both their men and their women in the American Forces which attack us. 

(e) This is why the American people cannot be not innocent of all the crimes committed by the Americans and Jews against us. 

(f)
 Allah, the Almighty, legislated the permission and the option to take revenge. Thus, if we are attacked, then we have the right to attack back. Whoever has destroyed our villages and towns, then we have the right to destroy their villages and towns. Whoever has stolen our wealth, then we have the right to destroy their economy. And whoever has killed our civilians, then we have the right to kill theirs. 

The American Government and press still refuses to answer the question: 

Why did they attack us in New York and Washington? 

If Sharon is a man of peace in the eyes of Bush, then we are also men of peace!!! America does not understand the language of manners and principles, so we are addressing it using the language it understands. 

(Q2) As for the second question that we want to answer: What are we calling you to, and what do we want from you? 

(1) The first thing that we are calling you to is Islam. 

(a)
 The religion of the Unification of God; of freedom from associating partners with Him, and rejection of this; of complete love of Him, the Exalted; of complete submission to His Laws; and of the discarding of all the opinions, orders, theories and religions which contradict with the religion He sent down to His Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Islam is the religion of all the prophets, and makes no distinction between them - peace be upon them all. 

It is to this religion that we call you; the seal of all the previous religions. It is the religion of Unification of God, sincerity, the best of manners, righteousness, mercy, honour, purity, and piety. It is the religion of showing kindness to others, establishing justice between them, granting them their rights, and defending the oppressed and the persecuted. It is the religion of enjoining the good and forbidding the evil with the hand, tongue and heart. It is the religion of Jihad in the way of Allah so that Allah&#039;s Word and religion reign Supreme. And it is the religion of unity and agreement on the obedience to Allah, and total equality between all people, without regarding their colour, sex, or language. 

(b)
 It is the religion whose book - the Quran - will remained preserved and unchanged, after the other Divine books and messages have been changed. The Quran is the miracle until the Day of Judgment. Allah has challenged anyone to bring a book like the Quran or even ten verses like it. 

(2) The second thing we call you to, is to stop your oppression, lies, immorality and debauchery that has spread among you.   

(a)
 We call you to be a people of manners, principles, honour, and purity; to reject the immoral acts of fornication, homosexuality, intoxicants, gambling&#039;s, and trading with interest. 

We call you to all of this that you may be freed from that which you have become caught up in; that you may be freed from the deceptive lies that you are a great nation, that your leaders spread amongst you to conceal from you the despicable state to which you have reached.

(b) It is saddening to tell you that you are the worst civilization witnessed by the history of mankind: 

(i)
 You are the nation who, rather than ruling by the Shariah of Allah in its Constitution and Laws, choose to invent your own laws as you will and desire. You separate religion from your policies, contradicting the pure nature which affirms Absolute Authority to the Lord and your Creator. You flee from the embarrassing question posed to you: How is it possible for Allah the Almighty to create His creation, grant them power over all the creatures and land, grant them all the amenities of life, and then deny them that which they are most in need of: knowledge of the laws which govern their lives? 

(ii) You are the nation that permits Usury, which has been forbidden by all the religions. Yet you build your economy and investments on Usury. As a result of this, in all its different forms and guises, the Jews have taken control of your economy, through which they have then taken control of your media, and now control all aspects of your life making you their servants and achieving their aims at your expense; precisely what Benjamin Franklin warned you against. 

(iii) You are a nation that permits the production, trading and usage of intoxicants. You also permit drugs, and only forbid the trade of them, even though your nation is the largest consumer of them.

(iv) You are a nation that permits acts of immorality, and you consider them to be pillars of personal freedom. You have continued to sink down this abyss from level to level until incest has spread amongst you, in the face of which neither your sense of honour nor your laws object. 

Who can forget your President Clinton&#039;s immoral acts committed in the official Oval office? After that you did not even bring him to account, other than that he &#039;made a mistake&#039;, after which everything passed with no punishment. Is there a worse kind of event for which your name will go down in history and remembered by nations? 

(v) You are a nation that permits gambling in its all forms. The companies practice this as well, resulting in the investments becoming active and the criminals becoming rich. 

(vi)
 You are a nation that exploits women like consumer products or advertising tools calling upon customers to purchase them. You use women to serve passengers, visitors, and strangers to increase your profit margins. You then rant that you support the liberation of women. 

(vii)
 You are a nation that practices the trade of sex in all its forms, directly and indirectly. Giant corporations and  establishments are established on this, under the name of art, entertainment, tourism and freedom, and other deceptive names you attribute to it. 

(viii) 
And because of all this, you have been described in history as a nation that spreads diseases that were unknown to man in the past. Go ahead and boast to the nations of man, that you brought them AIDS as a Satanic American Invention. 

(xi) You have destroyed nature with your 
industrial waste and gases more than any other nation in history. Despite this, you refuse to sign the Kyoto agreement so that you can secure the profit of your greedy companies and*industries. 

(x) 
Your law is the law of the rich and wealthy people, who hold sway in their political parties, and fund their election campaigns with their gifts. Behind them stand the Jews, who control your policies, media and economy. 

(xi) That which you are singled out for in the history 
of mankind, is that you have used your force to destroy mankind more than any other nation in history; not to defend principles and values, but to hasten to secure your interests and profits. You who dropped a nuclear bomb on Japan, even though Japan was ready to negotiate an end to the war. How many acts of oppression, tyranny and injustice have you carried out, O callers to freedom? 

(xii) Let us not forget one of your major characteristics: your duality in both manners and values; your hypocrisy in manners and principles. All*manners, principles and values have two scales: one for you and one for the others. 

(a)The freedom and democracy that you call to is for yourselves and for white race only; as for the rest of the world, you impose upon them your monstrous, destructive policies and Governments, which you call the &#039;American friends&#039;. Yet you prevent them from establishing democracies. When the Islamic party in Algeria wanted to practice democracy and they won the election, you unleashed your agents in the Algerian army onto them, and to attack them with tanks and guns, to imprison them and torture them - a new lesson from the &#039;American book of democracy&#039;!!! 

(b)Your policy on prohibiting and forcibly removing weapons of mass destruction to ensure world peace: it only applies to those countries which you do not permit to possess such weapons. As for the countries you consent to, such as Israel, then they are allowed to keep and use such weapons to defend their security. Anyone else who you suspect might be manufacturing or keeping these kinds of weapons, you call them criminals and you take military action against them. 

(c)You are the last ones to respect the resolutions and policies of International Law, yet you claim to want to selectively punish anyone else who does the same. Israel has for more than 50 years been pushing UN resolutions and rules against the wall with the full support of America. 

(d)As for the war criminals which you censure and form criminal courts for - you shamelessly ask that your own are granted immunity!! However, history will not forget the war crimes that you committed against the Muslims and the rest of the world; those you have killed in Japan, Afghanistan, Somalia, Lebanon and Iraq will remain a shame that you will never be able to escape. It will suffice to remind you of your latest war crimes in Afghanistan, in which densely populated innocent civilian villages were destroyed, bombs were dropped on mosques causing the roof of the mosque to come crashing down on the heads of the Muslims praying inside. You are the ones who broke the agreement with the Mujahideen when they left Qunduz, bombing them in Jangi fort, and killing more than 1,000 of your prisoners through suffocation and thirst. Allah alone knows how many people have died by torture at the hands of you and your agents. Your planes remain in the Afghan skies, looking for anyone remotely suspicious.

(e)You have claimed to be the vanguards of Human 
Rights, and your Ministry of Foreign affairs issues annual reports containing statistics of those countries that violate any Human Rights. However, all these things vanished when the Mujahideen hit you, and you then implemented the methods of the same documented governments that you used to curse. In America, you captured thousands the Muslims and Arabs, took them into custody with neither reason, court trial, nor even disclosing their names. You issued newer, harsher laws. 

What happens in Guatanamo is a historical embarrassment to America and its values, and it screams into your faces - you hypocrites, &quot;What is the value of your signature on any agreement or treaty?&quot; 

(3) What we call you to thirdly is to take an honest stance with yourselves - and I doubt you will do so - to discover that you are a nation without principles or manners, and that the values and principles to you are something which you merely demand from others, not that which you yourself must adhere to. 

(4) We also advise you to stop supporting Israel, and to end your support of the Indians in Kashmir, the Russians against the Chechens and to also cease supporting the Manila Government against the Muslims in Southern Philippines. 

(5)
 We also advise you to pack your luggage and get out of our lands. We desire for your goodness, guidance, and righteousness, so do not force us to send you back as cargo in coffins. 

(6) Sixthly, we call upon you to end your support of the corrupt leaders in our countries. Do not interfere in our politics and method of education. Leave us alone, or else expect us in New York and Washington. 

(7) We also call you to deal with us and interact with us on the basis of mutual interests and benefits, rather than the policies of sub dual, theft and occupation, and not to continue your policy of supporting the Jews because this will result in more disasters for you. 

If you fail to respond to all these conditions, then prepare for fight with the Islamic Nation. The Nation of Monotheism, that puts complete trust on Allah and fears none other than Him. The Nation which is addressed by its Quran with the words: &quot;Do you fear them? Allah has more right that you should fear Him if you are believers. 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 believing people. And remove the anger of their (believers&#039;) hearts. Allah accepts the repentance of whom He wills. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.&quot; [Quran9:13-1] 

The Nation of honour and respect: 

&quot;But honour, power and glory belong to Allah, and to His Messenger (Muhammad- peace be upon him) and to the believers.&quot; [Quran 63:8] 

&quot;So do not become weak (against your enemy), nor be sad, and you will be*superior ( in victory )if you are indeed (true) believers&quot; [Quran 3:139] 

The Nation of Martyrdom; the Nation that desires death more than you desire life: 

&quot;Think not of those who are killed in the way of Allah as dead. Nay, they are alive with their Lord, and they are being provided for. They rejoice in what Allah has bestowed upon them from His bounty and rejoice 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. They rejoice in a grace and a bounty from Allah, and that Allah will not waste the reward of the believers.&quot; [Quran 3:169-171] 

The Nation of victory and success that Allah has promised: 

&quot;Its He Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad peace be upon him) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islam), to make it victorious over all other religions even though the Polytheists hate it.&quot; [Quran 61:9] 

&quot;Allah has decreed that &#039;Verily it is I and My Messengers who shall be victorious.&#039; Verily Allah is All-Powerful, All-Mighty.&quot; [Quran 58:21] 

The Islamic Nation that was able to dismiss and destroy the previous evil Empires like yourself; the Nation that rejects your attacks, wishes to remove your evils, and is prepared to fight you. You are well aware that the Islamic Nation, from the very core of its soul, despises your haughtiness and arrogance. 

If the Americans refuse to listen to our advice and the goodness, guidance and righteousness that we call them to, then be aware that you will lose this Crusade Bush began, just like the other previous Crusades in which you were humiliated by the hands of the Mujahideen, fleeing to your home in great silence and 
disgrace. If the Americans do not respond, then their fate will be that of the Soviets who fled from Afghanistan to deal with their military defeat, political breakup, ideological downfall, and economic bankruptcy.   

This is our message to the Americans, as an answer 
to theirs. Do they now know why we fight them and over which form of ignorance, by the permission of Allah, we shall be victorious?]]></description>

The British handed over Palestine, with your help and your support, to the Jews, who have occupied it for more than 50 years; years overflowing with oppression, tyranny, crimes, killing, expulsion, destruction and devastation. The creation and continuation of Israel is one of the greatest crimes, and you are the leaders of its criminals. And of course there is no need to explain and prove the degree of American support for Israel. The creation of Israel is a crime which must be erased. Each and every person whose hands have become polluted in the contribution towards this crime must pay its*price, and pay for it heavily. </p>
<p>(ii) It brings us both laughter and tears to see that<br />
 you have not yet tired of repeating your fabricated lies that the Jews have a historical right to Palestine, as it was promised to them in the Torah. Anyone who disputes with them on this alleged fact is accused of anti-semitism. This is one of the most fallacious, widely-circulated fabrications in history. The people of Palestine are pure Arabs and original Semites. It is the Muslims who are the inheritors of Moses (peace be upon him) and the inheritors of the real Torah that has not been changed. Muslims believe in all of the Prophets, including Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon them all. If the followers of Moses have been promised a right to Palestine in the Torah, then the Muslims are the most worthy nation of this. </p>
<p>When the Muslims conquered Palestine and drove out the Romans, Palestine and Jerusalem returned to Islaam, the religion of all the Prophets peace be upon them. Therefore, the call to a historical right to Palestine cannot be raised against the Islamic Ummah that believes in all the Prophets of Allah (peace and blessings be upon them) &#8211; and we make no distinction between them. </p>
<p>(iii) The blood pouring out of Palestine must be equally revenged. You must know that the Palestinians do not cry alone; their women are not widowed alone; their sons are not orphaned alone.</p>
<p>(b) You attacked us in Somalia; you supported the<br />
Russian atrocities against us in Chechnya, the Indian oppression against us in Kashmir, and the Jewish aggression against us in Lebanon. </p>
<p>(c)<br />
 Under your supervision, consent and orders, the governments of our countries which act as your agents, attack us on a daily basis;</p>
<p>(i) These governments prevent our people from establishing the Islamic Shariah, using violence and lies to do so. </p>
<p>(ii) These governments give us a taste of humiliation, and places us in a large prison of fear and subdual. </p>
<p>(iii) These governments steal our Ummah&#8217;s wealth and sell them to you at a paltry price.</p>
<p>(iv)<br />
 These governments have surrendered to the Jews, and handed them most of Palestine, acknowledging the existence of their state over the dismembered limbs of their own people. </p>
<p>(v) The removal of these governments is an obligation upon us, and a necessary step to free the Ummah, to make the Shariah the supreme law and to regain Palestine. And our fight against these governments is not separate from out fight against you.</p>
<p>(d) You steal our wealth and oil at paltry prices<br />
because of you international influence and military threats. This theft is indeed the biggest theft ever witnessed by mankind in the history of the world. </p>
<p>(e) Your forces occupy our countries; you spread your<br />
military bases throughout them; you corrupt our lands, and you besiege our sanctities, to protect the security of the Jews and to ensure the continuity of your pillage of our treasures. </p>
<p>(f) You have starved the Muslims of Iraq, where children die every day. It is a wonder that more than 1.5 million Iraqi children have died as a result of your sanctions, and you did not show concern. Yet when 3000 of your people died, the entire world rises and has not yet sat down. </p>
<p>(g) You have supported the Jews in their idea that Jerusalem is their eternal capital, and agreed to move your embassy there. With your help and under your protection, the Israelis are planning to destroy the Al-Aqsa mosque. Under the protection of your weapons, Sharon entered the Al-Aqsa mosque, to pollute it as a preparation to capture and destroy it. </p>
<p>(2)<br />
 These tragedies and calamities are only a few examples of your oppression and aggression against us. It is commanded by our religion and intellect that the oppressed have a right to return the aggression. Do not await anything from us but Jihad, resistance and revenge. Is it in any way rational to expect that after America has attacked us for more than half a century, that we will then leave her to live in security and peace?!! </p>
<p>(3) You may then dispute that all the above does not justify aggression against civilians, for crimes they did not commit and offenses in which they did not partake: </p>
<p>(a) This argument contradicts your continuous repetition that America is the land of freedom, and its leaders in this world. Therefore, the American people are the ones who choose their government by way of their own free will; a choice which stems from their agreement to its policies. Thus the American people have chosen, consented to, and affirmed their support for the Israeli oppression of the Palestinians, the occupation and usurpation of their land, and its continuous killing, torture, punishment and expulsion of the Palestinians. The American people have the ability and choice to refuse the policies of their Government and even to change it if they want. </p>
<p>(b) The American people are the ones who pay the taxes which fund the planes that bomb us in Afghanistan, the tanks that strike and destroy our homes in Palestine, the armies which occupy our lands in the Arabian Gulf, and the fleets which ensure the blockade of Iraq. These tax dollars are given to Israel for it to continue to attack us and penetrate our lands. So the American people are the ones who fund the attacks against us, and they are the ones who oversee the expenditure of these monies in the way they wish, through their elected candidates. </p>
<p>(c) Also the American army is part of the American people. It is this very same people who are shamelessly helping the Jews fight against us. </p>
<p>(d) The American people are the ones who employ both their men and their women in the American Forces which attack us. </p>
<p>(e) This is why the American people cannot be not innocent of all the crimes committed by the Americans and Jews against us. </p>
<p>(f)<br />
 Allah, the Almighty, legislated the permission and the option to take revenge. Thus, if we are attacked, then we have the right to attack back. Whoever has destroyed our villages and towns, then we have the right to destroy their villages and towns. Whoever has stolen our wealth, then we have the right to destroy their economy. And whoever has killed our civilians, then we have the right to kill theirs. </p>
<p>The American Government and press still refuses to answer the question: </p>
<p>Why did they attack us in New York and Washington? </p>
<p>If Sharon is a man of peace in the eyes of Bush, then we are also men of peace!!! America does not understand the language of manners and principles, so we are addressing it using the language it understands. </p>
<p>(Q2) As for the second question that we want to answer: What are we calling you to, and what do we want from you? </p>
<p>(1) The first thing that we are calling you to is Islam. </p>
<p>(a)<br />
 The religion of the Unification of God; of freedom from associating partners with Him, and rejection of this; of complete love of Him, the Exalted; of complete submission to His Laws; and of the discarding of all the opinions, orders, theories and religions which contradict with the religion He sent down to His Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Islam is the religion of all the prophets, and makes no distinction between them &#8211; peace be upon them all. </p>
<p>It is to this religion that we call you; the seal of all the previous religions. It is the religion of Unification of God, sincerity, the best of manners, righteousness, mercy, honour, purity, and piety. It is the religion of showing kindness to others, establishing justice between them, granting them their rights, and defending the oppressed and the persecuted. It is the religion of enjoining the good and forbidding the evil with the hand, tongue and heart. It is the religion of Jihad in the way of Allah so that Allah&#8217;s Word and religion reign Supreme. And it is the religion of unity and agreement on the obedience to Allah, and total equality between all people, without regarding their colour, sex, or language. </p>
<p>(b)<br />
 It is the religion whose book &#8211; the Quran &#8211; will remained preserved and unchanged, after the other Divine books and messages have been changed. The Quran is the miracle until the Day of Judgment. Allah has challenged anyone to bring a book like the Quran or even ten verses like it. </p>
<p>(2) The second thing we call you to, is to stop your oppression, lies, immorality and debauchery that has spread among you.   </p>
<p>(a)<br />
 We call you to be a people of manners, principles, honour, and purity; to reject the immoral acts of fornication, homosexuality, intoxicants, gambling&#8217;s, and trading with interest. </p>
<p>We call you to all of this that you may be freed from that which you have become caught up in; that you may be freed from the deceptive lies that you are a great nation, that your leaders spread amongst you to conceal from you the despicable state to which you have reached.</p>
<p>(b) It is saddening to tell you that you are the worst civilization witnessed by the history of mankind: </p>
<p>(i)<br />
 You are the nation who, rather than ruling by the Shariah of Allah in its Constitution and Laws, choose to invent your own laws as you will and desire. You separate religion from your policies, contradicting the pure nature which affirms Absolute Authority to the Lord and your Creator. You flee from the embarrassing question posed to you: How is it possible for Allah the Almighty to create His creation, grant them power over all the creatures and land, grant them all the amenities of life, and then deny them that which they are most in need of: knowledge of the laws which govern their lives? </p>
<p>(ii) You are the nation that permits Usury, which has been forbidden by all the religions. Yet you build your economy and investments on Usury. As a result of this, in all its different forms and guises, the Jews have taken control of your economy, through which they have then taken control of your media, and now control all aspects of your life making you their servants and achieving their aims at your expense; precisely what Benjamin Franklin warned you against. </p>
<p>(iii) You are a nation that permits the production, trading and usage of intoxicants. You also permit drugs, and only forbid the trade of them, even though your nation is the largest consumer of them.</p>
<p>(iv) You are a nation that permits acts of immorality, and you consider them to be pillars of personal freedom. You have continued to sink down this abyss from level to level until incest has spread amongst you, in the face of which neither your sense of honour nor your laws object. </p>
<p>Who can forget your President Clinton&#8217;s immoral acts committed in the official Oval office? After that you did not even bring him to account, other than that he &#8216;made a mistake&#8217;, after which everything passed with no punishment. Is there a worse kind of event for which your name will go down in history and remembered by nations? </p>
<p>(v) You are a nation that permits gambling in its all forms. The companies practice this as well, resulting in the investments becoming active and the criminals becoming rich. </p>
<p>(vi)<br />
 You are a nation that exploits women like consumer products or advertising tools calling upon customers to purchase them. You use women to serve passengers, visitors, and strangers to increase your profit margins. You then rant that you support the liberation of women. </p>
<p>(vii)<br />
 You are a nation that practices the trade of sex in all its forms, directly and indirectly. Giant corporations and  establishments are established on this, under the name of art, entertainment, tourism and freedom, and other deceptive names you attribute to it. </p>
<p>(viii)<br />
And because of all this, you have been described in history as a nation that spreads diseases that were unknown to man in the past. Go ahead and boast to the nations of man, that you brought them AIDS as a Satanic American Invention. </p>
<p>(xi) You have destroyed nature with your<br />
industrial waste and gases more than any other nation in history. Despite this, you refuse to sign the Kyoto agreement so that you can secure the profit of your greedy companies and*industries. </p>
<p>(x)<br />
Your law is the law of the rich and wealthy people, who hold sway in their political parties, and fund their election campaigns with their gifts. Behind them stand the Jews, who control your policies, media and economy. </p>
<p>(xi) That which you are singled out for in the history<br />
of mankind, is that you have used your force to destroy mankind more than any other nation in history; not to defend principles and values, but to hasten to secure your interests and profits. You who dropped a nuclear bomb on Japan, even though Japan was ready to negotiate an end to the war. How many acts of oppression, tyranny and injustice have you carried out, O callers to freedom? </p>
<p>(xii) Let us not forget one of your major characteristics: your duality in both manners and values; your hypocrisy in manners and principles. All*manners, principles and values have two scales: one for you and one for the others. </p>
<p>(a)The freedom and democracy that you call to is for yourselves and for white race only; as for the rest of the world, you impose upon them your monstrous, destructive policies and Governments, which you call the &#8216;American friends&#8217;. Yet you prevent them from establishing democracies. When the Islamic party in Algeria wanted to practice democracy and they won the election, you unleashed your agents in the Algerian army onto them, and to attack them with tanks and guns, to imprison them and torture them &#8211; a new lesson from the &#8216;American book of democracy&#8217;!!! </p>
<p>(b)Your policy on prohibiting and forcibly removing weapons of mass destruction to ensure world peace: it only applies to those countries which you do not permit to possess such weapons. As for the countries you consent to, such as Israel, then they are allowed to keep and use such weapons to defend their security. Anyone else who you suspect might be manufacturing or keeping these kinds of weapons, you call them criminals and you take military action against them. </p>
<p>(c)You are the last ones to respect the resolutions and policies of International Law, yet you claim to want to selectively punish anyone else who does the same. Israel has for more than 50 years been pushing UN resolutions and rules against the wall with the full support of America. </p>
<p>(d)As for the war criminals which you censure and form criminal courts for &#8211; you shamelessly ask that your own are granted immunity!! However, history will not forget the war crimes that you committed against the Muslims and the rest of the world; those you have killed in Japan, Afghanistan, Somalia, Lebanon and Iraq will remain a shame that you will never be able to escape. It will suffice to remind you of your latest war crimes in Afghanistan, in which densely populated innocent civilian villages were destroyed, bombs were dropped on mosques causing the roof of the mosque to come crashing down on the heads of the Muslims praying inside. You are the ones who broke the agreement with the Mujahideen when they left Qunduz, bombing them in Jangi fort, and killing more than 1,000 of your prisoners through suffocation and thirst. Allah alone knows how many people have died by torture at the hands of you and your agents. Your planes remain in the Afghan skies, looking for anyone remotely suspicious.</p>
<p>(e)You have claimed to be the vanguards of Human<br />
Rights, and your Ministry of Foreign affairs issues annual reports containing statistics of those countries that violate any Human Rights. However, all these things vanished when the Mujahideen hit you, and you then implemented the methods of the same documented governments that you used to curse. In America, you captured thousands the Muslims and Arabs, took them into custody with neither reason, court trial, nor even disclosing their names. You issued newer, harsher laws. </p>
<p>What happens in Guatanamo is a historical embarrassment to America and its values, and it screams into your faces &#8211; you hypocrites, &#8220;What is the value of your signature on any agreement or treaty?&#8221; </p>
<p>(3) What we call you to thirdly is to take an honest stance with yourselves &#8211; and I doubt you will do so &#8211; to discover that you are a nation without principles or manners, and that the values and principles to you are something which you merely demand from others, not that which you yourself must adhere to. </p>
<p>(4) We also advise you to stop supporting Israel, and to end your support of the Indians in Kashmir, the Russians against the Chechens and to also cease supporting the Manila Government against the Muslims in Southern Philippines. </p>
<p>(5)<br />
 We also advise you to pack your luggage and get out of our lands. We desire for your goodness, guidance, and righteousness, so do not force us to send you back as cargo in coffins. </p>
<p>(6) Sixthly, we call upon you to end your support of the corrupt leaders in our countries. Do not interfere in our politics and method of education. Leave us alone, or else expect us in New York and Washington. </p>
<p>(7) We also call you to deal with us and interact with us on the basis of mutual interests and benefits, rather than the policies of sub dual, theft and occupation, and not to continue your policy of supporting the Jews because this will result in more disasters for you. </p>
<p>If you fail to respond to all these conditions, then prepare for fight with the Islamic Nation. The Nation of Monotheism, that puts complete trust on Allah and fears none other than Him. The Nation which is addressed by its Quran with the words: &#8220;Do you fear them? Allah has more right that you should fear Him if you are believers. 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 believing people. And remove the anger of their (believers&#8217;) hearts. Allah accepts the repentance of whom He wills. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.&#8221; [Quran9:13-1] </p>
<p>The Nation of honour and respect: </p>
<p>&#8220;But honour, power and glory belong to Allah, and to His Messenger (Muhammad- peace be upon him) and to the believers.&#8221; [Quran 63:8] </p>
<p>&#8220;So do not become weak (against your enemy), nor be sad, and you will be*superior ( in victory )if you are indeed (true) believers&#8221; [Quran 3:139] </p>
<p>The Nation of Martyrdom; the Nation that desires death more than you desire life: </p>
<p>&#8220;Think not of those who are killed in the way of Allah as dead. Nay, they are alive with their Lord, and they are being provided for. They rejoice in what Allah has bestowed upon them from His bounty and rejoice 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. They rejoice in a grace and a bounty from Allah, and that Allah will not waste the reward of the believers.&#8221; [Quran 3:169-171] </p>
<p>The Nation of victory and success that Allah has promised: </p>
<p>&#8220;Its He Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad peace be upon him) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islam), to make it victorious over all other religions even though the Polytheists hate it.&#8221; [Quran 61:9] </p>
<p>&#8220;Allah has decreed that &#8216;Verily it is I and My Messengers who shall be victorious.&#8217; Verily Allah is All-Powerful, All-Mighty.&#8221; [Quran 58:21] </p>
<p>The Islamic Nation that was able to dismiss and destroy the previous evil Empires like yourself; the Nation that rejects your attacks, wishes to remove your evils, and is prepared to fight you. You are well aware that the Islamic Nation, from the very core of its soul, despises your haughtiness and arrogance. </p>
<p>If the Americans refuse to listen to our advice and the goodness, guidance and righteousness that we call them to, then be aware that you will lose this Crusade Bush began, just like the other previous Crusades in which you were humiliated by the hands of the Mujahideen, fleeing to your home in great silence and<br />
disgrace. If the Americans do not respond, then their fate will be that of the Soviets who fled from Afghanistan to deal with their military defeat, political breakup, ideological downfall, and economic bankruptcy.   </p>
<p>This is our message to the Americans, as an answer<br />
to theirs. Do they now know why we fight them and over which form of ignorance, by the permission of Allah, we shall be victorious?</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Deposing Saddam Hussein was NOT done over his NON-EXISTENT WMDs since we knew he&#039;d dismantled his WMD program following the first Gulf War after the Iraqis were beaten back from their invasion of Kuwait. (FYI, Hussein invaded Kuwait for multiple strategic decisions, not just for more land.) That WMD destruction was done under the auspices of and was verified by the United Nations so though Hussein might have thought of resumption of CBW production, it&#039;s illogical to believe he&#039;d have had the balls to attempt to go back into production. Iit&#039;s extremely disingenuous to continue to pretend WMDs were the reason for U.S. intervention in Iraq despite Iraq&#039;s prior use of CBW weapons in the Iran/Iraq War and their use against the Kurds. Even Pres. George Bush isn&#039;t continuing to attempt to sell that lie to the American public any longer though he hasn&#039;t stated his administration&#039;s full rationale for having committed the U.S. to war against Iraq. Logically, Pres. Bush&#039;s decision to go to war against Iraq was taken under the full knowledge of what was coming for the region and hoping against hope that this toehold in the region would carry the situation through to a positive conclusion for the United States. Full stop.

No President would ever attempt to take out another world leader just because of a failed assassination attempt. I think it&#039;s pretty funny people are still trying to sell that whole REVENGE scenario. Just how IRRESPONSIBLE do you think Pres. George Bush was anyway that he&#039;d use the Presidency for a fateful personal decision affecting the entire nation? No, the reality is if Pres. Bush had chosen to revenge his father he would have tried to set up something quite a bit more subtle than a full-scale war. But he didn&#039;t. Because that&#039;s NOT what Presidents do. Certainly in my book, revenge wasn&#039;t even on the list of his rationales for taking on Saddam Hussein.

ALL the Middle Eastern conflicts, regardless of the level and types of American/Western participation, are feeding off the universal turmoil in the region and Western fears over what that means for Western control and access to the Middle East&#039;s oil supply. Libyan leader Moammar Qaddafi&#039;s regime began to be seriously destabilized only after the Iraq War when the Libyan opposition realized they&#039;d have the opportunity to eliminate Qaddafi thanks to the U.S. having troops in Iraq. Qaddafi was just as much a victim of the region&#039;s inflamed political situation as was Saddam Hussein.

The U.S. and the West had backed despots since WW II and the populations of the Middle Eastern countries aren&#039;t having that any more. The Iranian Revolution capitalized on the U.S. having disrupted the Iranian election way back when and installing the Shah of Iran, and that was the beginning of the end of American hegemony over the Middle East&#039;s political situation. It might have taken a few more decades for that mistake to catch up w/us but catch up w/the U.S. it did. The current destabilization throughout the Middle East is not something any American President can hope to fully stop nor fully contain no matter what his policies or tactics. Muslim political groups like the Muslim Brotherhood WERE GUARANTEED to have ended up the WINNERS, at least initially, in any and all of the Middle Eastern upsets regardless of what the U.S. did or didn&#039;t do. The era of American and international control of the Middle East is in decline.

I&#039;ve NEVER EVER said Islam as a religion of peace. But I certainly don&#039;t need to make the totally artificial claim that Islam is setting a course for world domination at this point in time. There are individual jihads in different nations and regions, not a jihad that is aimed at world domination.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[None of this obscuring of the truth about Islam would work if the media wasn&#039;t 100% complicit. It wouldn&#039;t work if we taught what the Quran really says in our high schools and colleges.

Obama has the means to stop much of the persecution being committed by Muslims today. That he not only refuses to stop it, but enables it, means he has blood on his hands. He is just as morally culpable as any of the great leftist mass murderers of the 20th Century.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pretty strange that you have the audacity to comment on things you know absolutely nothing about.


The war in Iraq was over Saddam&#039;s constant attempts at acquiring WMDs, which we knew he had already used on Iran, the Kurds, and the Shiites. He was also attempting to get nukes. In addition to his desire for WMDs, he wanted more land, whioch is why we had to hammer him out of Kuwait. He refused to act in accordance with the no-fly zone he agreed to, he attampted to assassinate Bush 41, and he committed acts of genocide using chemical weapons...all of which contributed to taking him out.


The war in Afghanistan was the direct result of 9/11, in case your memory doesn&#039;t go back that far. Comparing it to the debacle of Libya is moronic.


Libya was Obama&#039;s attempt to aid the jihadists, not hinder them. We had a somewhat effective ally against the radical Muslims in Khaddafi, just like we did in Egypt with Musharraf, but Obama insisted on destabilizing both, to the immediate benefit of the Islamists. As I said, to equate these three is the prattle of fools.


Islam is a religion of peace? I can see you&#039;ve never read a word of the Quran. Spare yourself the humilation and quit commenting on this topic. You are clueless.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hogwash. This is precisely the kind of drivel we hear from the Whitehouse and diplomats, all of whom failed before the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. You sound like a typical delusional liberal, always blaming the social circumstances as the genesis of Muslim atrocities and conveniently forgetting that the &quot;social realities&quot; began with the advent of Islam. Read the Quran, dimwit! It&#039;s all right there.


Your childish theories of early Muslim development sound like something from a liberal elementary school teacher in a safe and prosperous suburb. The poor little dears were ignored! Say it ain&#039;t so. They weren&#039;t ignored by the nutjob Imams who taught them to hate and destroy the infidel, but that is too real for you to admit.


Your chimpings on the &quot;real&quot; reason for 9/11 is equally vacuous. Bin Laden wasn&#039;t limiting the focus of his jihad to the palestian ruse. He was declaring war on the West. Palestinian autonomy is only useful to the Muslims if it isn&#039;t resolved, which is wht billions have been spent and nothing has been accomplished. Israel has turned over land only to get attacked again and again, and idiots like yourself think that we aren&#039;t doing enough. The Palestinian leadership won&#039;t acknowledge Israel&#039;s right to exist. Why can&#039;t you get that through your thick head? They are intentionally preventing peace.


There is only one jihad and it is the same one everywhere. Jihad is unique to Islam and it is intended as a violent destruction of the infidel of any religion. You, to put it too kindly, are befuddled and poorly informed.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pretty amazing you claim the West isn&#039;t trying to control what&#039;s happening in the Middle East given our ventures into Iraq and Libya and Afghanistan! Besides, it&#039;s pretty hysterical you&#039;d claim Western armies would be fighting against a BILLION people because quite a few billion of them would never be able to be inducted into an army since they&#039;re too busy being opium farmers or goatherds in remote regions. Sure, EVENTUALLY those opium farmers and goatherds might be able to be made into an army of a BILLION but for right now, there is NO BILLION MAN Muslim army. Our worries are REGIONAL and in those regional jihads we are facing THOUSANDS of fighters, not HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS and certainly not BILLIONS. **Islam is a religion of peace, relatively, or we&#039;d have a far, far larger problem on our hands w/MILLIONS of eager jihadis all over the darn place. I see a limited number of jihadis who just happen to live in an era and in regions where LIMITED MEN and LIMITED ARMAMENTS can do TERRIBLE THINGS.**]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Palestinian jihad has got NOTHING to do w/the Russians and Soviet agitprop from the Cold War. The regional angst over Palestine began out of the ashes of the Caliphate which was disbanded after the Turks lost WW I having been allies w/the Germans. After WW I&#039;s peace treaty, the region was subsequently carved up among WW I&#039;s victors w/the British getting the vast lion&#039;s share of the region. (If there were no Palestine, it&#039;s strange that the British always referred to the area as Palestine during their time in power there.) When the Zionist push began for a Jewish homeland in Palestine at about this time, this eventual historical impasse was set in motion

You can claim all these jihads are all part of a global jihad w/its eventual aim being world Muslim domination but that&#039;s a very, very strange point of view to take as Osama bin Laden said he was only interested in driving Westerners out of Muslim lands and achieving a homeland for the Palestinians. If a jihadist big wig like him didn&#039;t claim he was after world domination, it&#039;s not terribly likely that is the serious aim of any jihadist. All of the current jihads have SPECIFIC REGIONAL AIMS and they&#039;re not claiming they want to take over the entire world. Sure, there are some imams who are talking about Muslim domination but they&#039;re about as likely to achieve their aim as the Westboro Baptists are to be invited to every veteran&#039;s funeral from now on.

Islamic scripture says lots of things about jihad but when the jihadists lay out specific regional demands, that&#039;s what should be our guiding light in our foreign policy viz that specific jihad. It SHOULD NOT BE the hadiths and the imams talking pie in the sky baloney that should guide our foreign policy beyond a certain point.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You are a misguided if you think that the key issue Islam has with the west is Palestine.  Palestine as an issue is a phony one at best - born out of Soviet agitprop of the cold war.  The issue with Israel for Muslims is that it is on land formerly conquered by Islam and being infidels, that is a stain on Muslim honor.

The real issue is Islam, it teaches that the entire world must be made to submit to Islam.
There is no Islamic &quot;church&quot; or the equivalent of a &quot;Pope&quot;,  so any nut with a gun and Koran gets to decide what he is going to make Jihad against, as long as he keeps with accepted doctrine, he can be as violent as he wishes against infidels or even other Muslims who are not &quot;Islamic&quot; enough.

Technically, you are right 9/11 and Nigeria are not related, as in being directed by the same group - what they have in common is Islamic scripture, and in that they derive from the identical source.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The West, and the East for that matter, cannot &quot;mount an effective campaign against Islamic aggression&quot; without taking into account the social realities of all the different jihads. Pretending that we just label these groups w/the noun jihad and then we blast away at them using American.western military might has already proven to not work in Iraq and Afghanistan. How many different times do we need this fact proven to us? It&#039;s not debatable! The U.S. w/its design and implementation of the PRISM surveillance system has made a valiant (and expensive!) effort at assisting all world governments at curbing their jihads (if they&#039;re facing one) so let&#039;s not pretend we&#039;re holding back on spending our treasure here in the U.S. to stop the Palestinian jihad against the U.S. But we cannot simply militarize the battle against jihadists.using traditional military means when they are operating as non-traditional guerrilla forces and expect to be successful nor can we expect to shift vast populations of Muslims away from Islam. Our only choice is to have them choose nationalism and unification.

As for why certain jihadists are escalating their aggression until they cannot be ignored, it&#039;s BECAUSE they&#039;ve been ignored. Those Saudi Muslims who decided to execute 9/11 did so because they&#039;re tired of the Western world sticking its head in the sand on the issue of a Palestinian state. If we fail to differentiate among all the different jihads then we automatically fail on the foreign policy front. Neither of those two jihad actions --- Nigeria and 9/11 --- are related, yet, as is typical, they both appear in one post as if ALL jihad is identical. The NOUN is identical, the ingredients are not.]]></description>
