"A Message Of Hope And Glad Tidings To Our Fellow Muslims In Egypt (2)" -- Dr. Ayman Al Zawahiri
25 March 2011
By Al-Ikhwah Al-Mujahidun
In the
Name of Allah. May peace and blessings be upon the
Messenger of Allah, and upon his family, companions
and all those who follow him.
To
proceed:
In my
previous episode, I dealt with the answer to the first
question, "What is the situation we are in?"
Today, I
will complete my discussion of the current situation
of Egypt, but before I start to explain, I wish to
leave this topic, which is "A Message of Hope and Glad
Tidings to the People of Egypt," to mention another
important yet dangerous topic, which is the sanctity
of Muslim life, about which the Prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam said,
"That
the entire world ceases to exists is less important to
Allah than the (unlawful) killing of a Muslim."
There are
some operations which are ascribed to the Mujahideen,
some by due right and others otherwise, in which
transgressions occur against Muslims in their mosques,
their markets, and other gathering places. About this,
I say the following:
Regardless of whether the ascription of these acts to
the Mujahideen are correct or incorrect, my brothers
and I in Al-Qaedah declare to Allah that we are
innocent from these attacks, and that we object to
them, whether those who carry them are the Mujahideen
or others. Ameer-ul-Mu'mineen, Mulla Muhammad Umar,
may Allah protect him, has also previously mentioned
this point, as did Sheikh Usamah bin Laden, may Allah
protect him, Sheikh Atiyyatullah, may Allah protect
him, Sheikh Abu Yahya Al Libi, may Allah protect him,
and as I also did myself. Sheikh Usamah bin Laden, may
Allah protect him, has requested me to reiterate this
point again, and thus I advise each and every Mujahid
to keep the Islamic rulings and the interests of the
Muslims in forefront before carrying out any Jihadi
operation, and to remember that we are not waging
Jihad for anything other than the pleasure of Allah
Most High, which cannot be gained except by following
His religion and abiding by its rulings. When planning
any operation, they should try their utmost to avoid
the deaths and injuries of anyone whose blood is
prohibited, whether Muslim or otherwise. They should
try as much as possible to avoid harming innocent
Muslims in their attacks of the enemy, who have
planted themselves in their midst (called tatarrus),
as well as any others who are impermissible to kill,
of course, other than what is necessary or that which
unintentionally results from a mistake. They should be
very careful not to be lax in this matter of
tatarrus.
I ask
Allah to make all of our deeds in accordance with His
religion and for His Pleasure alone.
I return
to my message of hope and glad tidings to our fellow
Muslims in Egypt.
In the
previous message of these series, I spoke of the
reality of the ruling government in Egypt, and
mentioned that it is one which has left the path of
Islam. I spoke of the first type of corruption, which
is that of creed, and I explained that the Egyptian
government is one which is secular, despotic, and
nationalistic. Then, I explained how this government
arose, mentioning that it was part of the Ottoman
state, and that the scholars at that time implemented
the obligation of enjoining good and prohibiting evil.
Then, I mentioned the French campaign and how it was a
campaign of a government secular in creed, crusader at
heart with a Zionist inclination. I then spoke about
the introduction of secular laws during the reign of
Muhammad Ali and his children, the British occupation
of Egypt, and the stances taken by the leading Azhari
scholars about Khedive Tawfeeq and their fatwa about
his apostasy. Then, I discussed the cunning ways in
which the British administered Egypt, which is how our
enemies, especially the Crusaders, administer our
lands today.
I
mentioned how the British strove to corrupt the rule
of law in Egypt by forming a secular, nationalistic
state which claims to be independent and democratic,
but in reality, is a state administered by the
bayonets and canons of the occupiers, and that the
British made efforts in various spheres to achieve
this, the first of them being the corruption of the
legislative branch of the government.
Today I
begin, seeking help in Allah, by speaking about the
second sphere in which the British made efforts in
corrupting the rule of law in Egypt, which was that
they granted them fake independence.
When the
British entered Egypt, they left Khedive Tawfeeq and
his government intact, which was only nominally
affiliated with the Ottoman state. In reality, all of
its affairs were being administered by the High
Commissioner. The most well-known of these
commissioners was Cromer, who was assigned to the post
in the year 1883 CE and remained in this post for
twenty-four years, employing his authority as the
actual ruler of Egypt. Today, this is the same role
played by the US ambassador in Egypt.
Cromer
turned Egypt into a state subjected to the service of
the British, despite the presence of the Khedive and
the Egyptian government who served as tools in service
of British interests. Thus, the fact that matters is
not whether there is government with a president or a
king; what matters is whether the government
administers its affairs freely and independently, or
whether it cannot, acting as a mere mask for the
service of the occupying forces, or a government born
of the infidel foreign invaders, and thus
illegitimate.
If these
movements that are affiliated with Islam and Islamic
preachers claim to be guiding the Muslims to accept
legitimacy of the likes of these governments, have
they fulfilled the trust which Allah has made an
obligation upon them? Or have they tricked or tried to
trick the Muslims? Are they the ones about whom Allah
Most High has said:
"It is
only those who have knowledge among His slaves that
fear Allah. Verily, Allah is All-Mighty,
Oft-Forgiving." (Fatir: 28)
And those
about whom Allah Most High has said:
"Let
there arise out of you a group of people inviting to
all that is good, enjoining Al-Ma'ruf (i.e. Islamic
Monotheism and all that Islam orders one to do) and
forbidding Al-Munkar (polytheism and disbelief and all
that Islam has forbidden). And it is they who are the
successful." (Aali Imran: 104)
Or are
they from those about whom Allah Most High has said:
"(And
remember) when Allah took a covenant from those who
were given the Scripture to make it known and clear to
mankind, and not to hide it, but they threw it away
behind their backs, and purchased with it some
miserable gain! And indeed worst is that which they
bought." (Aali Imran: 187)
And those
about whom Allah Most High also said:
"The
likeness of those who were entrusted with the Torah,
but who subsequently failed in those (obligations), is
as the likeness of a donkey which carries huge burdens
of books. How bad is the example of people who deny
the Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, signs,
revelations) of Allah. And Allah guides not the people
who are wrong-doers." (Al-Jumuah: 5)
At any
cost, let us return to this Cromer and the British
Rule of Egypt, and their shaping of its government
into a tool for British interests. The clearest
example of this is their employment of the Egyptian
army in order to put an end to the Mahdi Movement in
Sudan.
In 1896,
the British launched a campaign which consisted of a
number of British and Egyptian units led by Kitchener.
Throughout several battles, the Mahdi Movement proved
successful, setting examples of courage and bravery in
confrontation of an army far more advanced in weapons
and equipment. After these battles, on September of
1898, Kitchener with his Anglo-Egyptian army
confronted Khaleefah Abdullah in the decisive battle
of Karrari in northern Omdurman, and the
Anglo-Egyptian army armed with their Maxim and L.M.
Field Guns was successful in defeating the army of
Khaleefah with their spears and swords. The automatic
cannons of the British plowed through the army of the
Mahdi Movement, killing an estimated eleven thousand
and wounding another sixteen thousand, while only
forty-eight men died in the Anglo-Egyptian army.
We need
to stop and think about some, actually many, aspects
concerning the Battle of Karrarim. What happened in
the Battle of Karrari still happens today. Who helped
the US implement sanctions against Iraq? Who helped
them invade it? Who helped them invade Afghanistan?
Who is implementing the sanctions on Gaza? Who are the
ones in pursuit of the Mujahideen, arresting,
torturing and killing them?
Aren't
they these corrupt regimes in Egypt, Saudi Arabia,
Yemen, Iraq, Jordan, Pakistan and Algeria?
Have
these governments not offered all their support to
America and the West in their new Crusades against
Islam, which they call the "war on terror"?
1) The
role played by the Egyptian army today under the
leadership of Hosni Mubarak is the same role it played
in Karrari under the leadership of Lord Kitchener. The
Egyptian army which killed the followers of Mahdi is
the same Egyptian army which has laid siege on Iraq
and extended its hands to help the invading forces in
Afghanistan and Iraq with supplies and fuel, opening
its airports and seaports for Crusader jets and
soldiers, and opening the Suez Canal for their fleets
which carried, and continues to carry, destruction of
the Muslims in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq. Names
and faces have changed, but the reality, massacres and
treachery has not. The white-man Kitchener has gone
and the brown-man Kitchener has come. This is the
first point.
2) What
happened in Karrari has been repeating itself all over
our Islamic lands for the past two centuries. Over the
expanse of the Islamic world, the invading Crusader
forces in their imperialistic Crusades have been faced
with a heroic resistance, but its advancement in
weaponry allowed it to gain victory. Do we ask, why
have we fallen back in the sciences and arts of war?
How have they advanced over us? This is an extremely
dangerous question, because it summarizes the reasons
of our defeats, occupation, and enslavement by the
Western Zio-Christian Crusader forces.
We have
fallen behind for many reasons, and if Allah makes it
easy, we may mention them some other time. But among
them is our political weakness and corruption which
has turned our forces against our own people and
spoiled our economies. It is also due to our
preoccupation in the errors in dialectics, Sufism, and
superstitions which have made us neglect the natural
sciences. Another cause is the West's control over us
and our resources, and thus our deprivation from any
proper usage of them which would enable us to advance
and strengthen ourselves.
In
summary, we can never reach the technological
advancement of the West at this stage. They have
surpassed us by far for many reasons which must be
studied in order to answer the previous question of
our falling behind and their advancement.
But what
concerns me now, and I summarize, is to touch on
another question, which is, "How can we reconcile this
gap between us and the Western world?"
The
technological gap between us has grown great indeed,
and this has also led to a huge gap in the military
field as well. If we continue to use what they force
upon us from weapons, means, and battlegrounds, we
will continue to remain slaves, subject to their theft
and control through their military might. If we cannot
produce weapons in this stage that can match those of
the Crusader West, we can still ruin its complex
system of economics and industry. We can exhaust its
forces that fight without any creed until they flee.
For this reason, the Mujahideen had to innovate new
techniques which the West could not think of. From
these types of bold and courageous ideas was to use
airplanes as powerful weapons, as was done in the
blessed raids on Washington, New York and
Pennsylvania.
Also,
from the results of the fall of the Mahdi state in
Sudan was the implementation of bipartite rule in
Sudan, its bitter traces which can still be seen there
today. Without proper study of this subject, the
problems of Sudan, in general, and of Southern Sudan,
in specific, cannot be understood.
In
summary, the bipartite rule was formed due to the
accords prepared by Cromer to rule Sudan, which was
called the Anglo-Egyptian Agreement. It stipulated
that the British would suggest the ruler of Sudan who
would be appointed by the Khedive of Egypt. It was a
nominally bipartite rule, but in reality, it was a
British rule which continued for a period of about
sixty years. In this bipartite rule, the British made
Southern Sudan into a closed zone stated in the
"closed door" ordinances, which Egyptians and Northern
Sudanese were not allowed to enter other than for
official reasons or with special authorizations.
Europeans, however, were allowed to move about freely
in the south. The southerners were warned from
resembling the northerners in their dress and way of
life, and the area was purged of all Arabs and
Muslims. The use of Arabic language and Islamic signs
and customs were vehemently fought against, and even
Islamic names were forbidden. Their dealings were
limited to the British. They would deal severely with
whoever was found speaking Arabic or displaying
Islamic symbols. Free reign was given to evangelical
groups, and with this, the seeds were thrown for the
crop which harvested the partition of Southern Sudan
from the North.
With the
onset of World War I and Turkey's announcement of
entering the war on the side of the Germans, the
British announced that Egypt was a British
Protectorate in 1914, and they deposed Khedive Abbas
II. They appointed his uncle, Hussein Kamel, as the
ruler of Egypt and gave him the title "Sultan" to make
the masses believe that they became independent of the
Ottoman state, and with this, any semblance of
relationship with the Ottoman state and Egypt was
severed.
In an
attempt to quell the growing anger of the masses after
World War I, in March 1922, the British then announced
that Egypt was an independent kingdom ruled by Fuad I.
However, the British reserved the right to interfere
in its affairs for any reason that opposed their
interests. In other words, they took from their left
hand what they granted with their right.
As the
signs of appearance of another World War increased,
Italy invaded Ethiopia in 1935. This threatened the
sovereignty of the British over North and East Africa,
and so the British made initiatives to come to a
compromise with Egypt, striking an agreement which
protected British interests. The British brought a
team to negotiate with the rulers, and they struck an
agreement in 1936, forming a military alliance between
the British and Egypt. Egypt was allowed to enter the
international community as an independent nation and
open embassies outside, while giving the British the
right to keep its forces in the Suez Canal on the
condition that it would not exceed ten thousand troops
in times of peace.
It is
clear from this brief glance at history that the
British, throughout their colonization of Egypt, were
the actual rulers who kept in mind their own
interests. However, they managed to hide this with
false claims of the independence of Egyptian
government. This is the same policy employed by the
Crusader West today, led by America, against our
Muslim Ummah in the majority of Muslim lands a fake
independence which in reality is nothing but
enslavement.
As I
previously mentioned, some of the means employed by
the British to ruin the rule of law of Egypt were to
alter the legislative body and grant Egypt fake
independence. I would like to state a third method
employed by the British to ruin the governing law in
Egypt: the formation of a nationalistic state based
upon race.
The
British sought to break apart the Caliphate into small
states separated on race, and specifically Egypt. They
employed the following means to break up the
Caliphate:
1) The
British pitted Shareef Hussein bin Ali (The Shareef of
Makkah) against the Ottoman state, supplying him
weapons and finances. He announced an Arab revolution
against the Ottoman state in 1916, and in the same
year, the British struck the Sykes-Picot deal with
France and Russia to divide the rest of the Ottoman
state amongst themselves.
2)
Striking deals of protection with the rulers of the
Gulf, Kuwait and Abdul Aziz Al Saud. We mentioned some
of these deals in the first part of this message.
3)
Snatching Palestine from the Ottoman Caliphate and
awarding it to the Jews. The story behind the British
efforts to attain this goal is one that is very
lengthy, progressing from the 19th century, but the
clearest example of British adamancy in this respect
is the well-known Balfour Promise, which ended with
them pulling out of Palestine and granting it to the
Jews.
As for
British efforts to establish Egypt as a nationalistic
entity, I mentioned before that Egypt was actually
partitioned from the Ottoman state after British
occupation, even though it was officially partitioned
later in World War I. It was forced to become a
protectorate, but the British were not satisfied with
this; they partitioned Egypt from Sudan by forcing
them into a bipartite government in 1898, and then
sought to divide Sudan with their Closed Door
Ordinances.
These
Western Crusader policies to dissolve and divide the
Islamic world still continue today. Iraq is being
divided into three regions: the Kurdish North which
has, basically, already been partitioned, the Sunni
middle, and the Shiite South. As for Sudan, the South
has seceded from the North, and they seek to divide it
even further by supporting the secessionists in
Darfur, the Nuba Mountains and the East. They are
planning to divide Saudi Arabia into three regions:
the Eastern, the Central and the Western. As for
Egypt, they seek to divide it into two: the Southern
Copts with their capital Asyut, and the Muslim north,
by supporting the Orthodox minority and pretending to
cry over the injustices being meted out to them, while
overlooking the aggressions of its Church against the
Muslims.
In
conclusion, I would like to touch on a dangerous and
important subject whose flames continue to grow day by
day in Egypt. Indeed it is the transgressions of the
Orthodox Coptic Church and its encroachment of and
transformation into a government within the
government, or to be more exact, a government superior
to the government. The explosion which occurred at the
Qiddissin Church in Alexandria was one of the results
of this encroachment.
To begin
with, I would like to clarify that Al-Qaeda had no
connection to the explosion which occurred at the
Qiddissin Church in Alexandria. Government agencies,
the Church's mouthpieces and secularists try to make
it seem as if the matter has reached its climax in
Egypt with this car-bombing, while the fact is that it
is still raging due to the continuing transgressions
of the Orthodox Coptic Church. The Coptic Church has
yet to clarify what has become of Wafa Constantine,
has yet to release Camellia Shehata, and has yet to
clarify what has become of the rest of the women
mentioned in the media and the internet. Allah knows
best about those who have not been mentioned. The
matter still rages and, regretfully, those who
inflamed this matter shed false tears today and regret
the mention of it, seeking to dissolve themselves of
the responsibility and presuming innocence.
First and
foremost, it is the leadership of the Orthodox Coptic
Church themselves, the head of which is Nazeer Gayed,
named St. Shenouda III, enthroned as pope in the
beginning of the seventies. Since that day, he has
actively sought to spread his belief that Muslims are
an occupying force in Egypt and must be ousted as they
were in Andalusia (Muslim Spain), and that it is the
Orthodox Copts' right to establish their own
independent state. Through the Copts' support and
organization of the "Coptic Diaspora", they continue
to pretend to cry over their assertions of oppression
towards Egyptian Copts. This is the role played by
Nazeer Gayed, or St. Shenouda. This matter of his was
spoken about even by secularists and others who have
no affiliation with Al-Qaedah, before Al-Qaedah was
even formed.
Mohamed
Hassanein Heikal hinted at fact in his book, The
Autumn of Fury, and Judge Abdul Ghaffar Muhammad
hinted at this fact in the court considerations of the
"Great Al Jihad Case", and tens of writers,
journalists and analysts followed suit who had no
affiliation with Al-Qaedah; on the contrary, some of
them are even enemies to Islamic ideology, while
others are Orthodox and non-Orthodox Copts.
The
transgressions of St. Shenouda and his aides against
the Muslim sentiment and sanctities continue since the
events of "Al Zawiyah Al Hamraa" to this day. The list
is indeed lengthy and there is no need to recall them
all, but who can forget the continual emboldening of
the Copts from America and using them as means to give
threats?
Who can
forget the theatre performance "I was Blind, but Now I
can see" which was presented at Mari Girgis church in
Alexandria in 2005? I don't know whether it is the
same Church where the bomb exploded.
Who from
us can forget the support St. Shenouda and his Church
showed to Hosni Mubarak in the previous presidential
elections, reminding us of the Church's alliance to
the emperors and kings in their oppression of the
masses in the Middle Ages, leading to the French
Revolution and the West's rejection of the Church?
St.
Shenouda, who claims that the Holy Spirit descends and
guides him, pledged allegiance to the leading Arab
Zionist and the most corrupted and corruptive ruler of
Egypt!
Who can
forget the transgression of St. Bishoy, Shenouda's
deputy, against the Quran and his assertion that the
Muslims are guests in Egypt?
Then the
torrent reached its climax when Shenouda formed
investigative courts and prisons used as torture cells
and brainwashing centers for those Christian women who
found guidance in Islam. St. Agabo, the priest of Deir
Mawas, himself stated about Camellia Shehata, "I am
playing with her mind," and that they would not
present her nor Wafa Constantine on the airwaves,
"until we correct them," and that she is being
brainwashed, and that the Church is "washing the
washed brained!"
Poetry
The
second party responsible in enflaming this matter was
the regime of Hosni Mubarak, the leading Arab Zionist
in whom Shenouda found a perfect opportunity. Shenouda
realized the inability and self-complexity in Hosni
Mubarak to preserve the ruling seat for his son, and
that he would do whatever he could to ensure (that)
this (happened). He continued to pressure him through
threats and warnings of US interference in every
crisis. So Hosni submitted, and continues to do so.
(Anwar)
Sadat, despite his sinfulness, treachery and
employment for the US, could not tolerate Shenouda's
interference in his authority. He removed him from his
papacy and put him under house arrest. But Hosni
Mubarak was worse in his sinfulness and employment
they were indeed both traitors and lackeys and he
was despotic and tyrannical against the people of
Egypt and Gaza. He submitted and surrendered to
Shenouda and America, and due to his foolishness, he
(unknowingly) ignited Islamic sentiment in Egypt,
rather the entire world, by using the intelligence
agencies to pursue the Christians who had accepted
Islam and handing them over to the torture cellars of
Shenouda's Churches and Monasteries. Hosni Mubarak
continues to provoke Islamic sentiment with his
campaign of torture and punishment launched by the
investigations branch of his State Security whose
victims and martyrs have started to fall one by one
until the Orthodox Church is pleased and America is
rest assured.
The first
of them they announced was the martyr, as we reckon
him, Sayyid Hilal, may Allah have mercy on him, and
Allah knows who the last will be. I ask Allah to
shower His mercy on this martyr, and the rest of those
martyred by the regime of the leading Arab Zionist,
and I send my condolences to the families of the
martyr, as we reckon him, and the rest of those
martyred by this corrupt and corruptive person, to
whom Shenouda pledged allegiance in the previous
elections.
The third
party responsible for enflaming this crisis is the
"scholars" of Al Azhar, forced over its lions by the
state. These "scholars" have turned into employees of
the "Office of Announcing Islam" for the
investigations agents for the state security, and the
state security has turned into a service center for
the Orthodox Church. These "scholars," forced upon the
lions of Al Azhar, have openly opposed the Quran.
Allah, Most High, the Truth, has said:
"O you
who believe! When believing women come to you as
emigrants, examine them; Allah knows best as to their
Faith, then if you ascertain that they are true
believers send them not back to the disbelievers."
(Al-Mumtahanah: 10)
The
Azhari "scholars" of the state security say, "return
them to the infidels." Allah Most High, the Truth,
says:
"They
are not lawful (wives) for the disbelievers nor are
the disbelievers lawful (husbands) for them."
(Al-Mumtahanah:10)
while
the Azhari "scholars" who have received instructions
from the state security officers say, "The (Muslim)
women are permitted for them (infidel men) and they
(infidel men) are permitted for them (Muslim women).
The
fourth party responsible for enflaming this crisis is
the corrupt parliamentary and judiciary, which
practices its tyranny against the simpleminded masses
as well as Islamic movements. It participates in
rigging elections, while remaining silent like the
dead to the complaints raised to it about the killing
of Wafa Constantine and the missing of her sisters in
the torture cellars of the Orthodox Church.
The fifth
party responsible for enflaming this crisis is the
U.S. Administration in its detestable actions of
supporting the Orthodox Church and encouraging them to
embolden themselves with it and to seek efforts to
secede.
The
reports of the U.S. Department of Foreign Affairs
about human rights and religious freedom turn a blind
eye to the arrests of the Orthodox Church and what
occurs in them, and the fate of those men and women
who accept Islam, whose number none knows except
Allah.
All of
these parties have a share in the responsibility due
to their intrepidness and neglect in instigating
Islamic sentiment, thinking it to be a dead corpse
without feeling or life.
Poetry
This
Islamic sentiment which was enticed and enflamed was
much more than that of Al-Qaeda and the Mujahideen.
Those who left their homes in protests were not moved
by Al-Qaeda. The preachers who were angered were not
encouraged by Al-Qaeda. And the media workers who
wrote and spoke did not conspire with Al-Qaeda.
For this
reason I address all those of sound mind from the
Orthodox Copts:
Isn't
there anyone of sound intellect amongst you? Why all
this instigation of the Muslims? Are we not neighbors
in the same country? Why do the leaders of your church
and some of your brothers seek to embolden themselves
with the American invaders who will inevitably retreat
just like France in the past and, with them, General
Yaqoob? We have lived with you and will continue to do
so as long as Allah wills. Allah Most High has
commanded us to differentiate between those
non-Muslims who show enmity to us and those who don't.
Why do you side with those who show enmity to us? We
don't want to start a battle with you, and I have
stated this more than once in my book Al-Tabri'a
(Exoneration).
We are
preoccupied in our battle with the Crusader West, the
Zionists, and their agents. Why do you join their
ranks? Sheikh Usama bin Laden, may Allah protect him,
also has stated this before myself, and we have not
asked for your help to oust the Western invaders and
the Zionists from our lands, but, at the very least,
don't seek to embolden yourselves through them over
us. What have you gained from igniting Islamic
sentiment? You have become a threatened people in
Egypt and the rest of the world. Do you expect America
and the West to protect you when they cannot even
protect themselves? Here we see them today packing
their bags in preparation for their retreat from Iraq
and Afghanistan.
Don't you
have any thoughtful and intelligent people amongst you
who will stop those of your brothers who seek to play
around, and warn them from the foolishness of seeking
to embolden themselves with the West and America
against the Muslims?
This is
my advice to you. Take heed of it before it is too
late.
And I
advise the Muslims of the Muslim World in general and
the Muslim of Egypt in particular with two things:
1) That
they differentiate between the Christians as Allah has
thought them in the Noble Quran, as Allah the Most
High, the Truth, has said:
"Allah
does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with
those who fought not against you on account of
religion nor drove you out of your homes. Verily,
Allah loves those who deal with equity. It is only as
regards those who fought against you on account of
religion, and have driven you out of your homes, and
helped to drive you out, that Allah forbids you to
befriend them. And whosoever will befriend them, then
such are the wrong-doers."
There are
some Christians who take great measure to improve
relations with the Muslims, who don't accept the
Zio-Christian occupation of the Arab and the Muslim
World, and who are resisting this occupation for
whatever reason. There are those pure Arab Christians
whose racial jealousy forbids them from accepting the
Jewish occupation of Palestine and the American
presence in Arab and Muslim lands, and there are those
who take pride in their Arab roots and with the
Prophet of Islam sallallahu alaihi wa sallam as one of
the greatest leaders of the Arab and humanity, as one
of the said:
Mention the Oneness of Allah, for the Muezzin has
stated it
And
praise the Prophet on Eid
It's
enough for the Arabs to take pride in affiliation
To a
Prophet who is the Prophet Muhammad
Due to
what the Quran has commanded, it is not possible that
we equate these types of Christians with those who
present themselves to the Americans and the Jews for
employment and who transgress against and seek harm to
the Muslims.
2) As for
the second point which I advise my brother Muslims to
pay great importance to is that we in Al-Qaeda have
reached the conclusion that the Zio-American enemies
who have invaded our religion, lands, and sanctities
and their lackey aides need to be focused on more than
others. If this invading enemy breaks, then by Allah's
permission their agents and others who seek their help
and emboldening will also break. So let us focus our
efforts on this Zio-American invading enemy and its
agents.
As a
reminder I will summarize what I have stated:
1) That
those responsible for igniting this crisis is Shenouda
and his aides, the Egyptian government, the
investigation agency of the State Security, their
Azhari "scholars", the deserting and corrupt
parliamentary and judiciary, and America with its
allies.
2) We do
not want to start a battle with the Christians, for we
are preoccupied defending ourselves from the
Zio-American invaders and their agents.
3) I
advise all intelligent Christians to stop the foolish
amongst them before it's too late.
4) I
advise the Muslims two things:
a) That
they differentiate between those Christians who show
enmity to the Muslims and those who don't.
b) That
they focus their strikes against the Zio-Christian
Crusader invaders and their agents.
To
conclude, I remind Shenouda of a geographical fact,
which is that Srebrenica does not lie in Egypt.
I will
suffice with this in this part, and our final prayer
is that all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of all
that exists. And may peace and blessings be upon our
leader, Muhammad, and his family and companions.
