Al-Qa'ida Magazine: "We Reject Saudi Arabia's Ultimatum"
On June 23, 2004, Saudi Crown Prince Abd Allah ibn Abd Al-'Aziz declared, on behalf of Saudi King Fahd ibn Abd Al-'Aziz, a month-long period of clemency during which Al-Qa'ida members could surrender (see MEMRI TV Project's "Saudi Crown Prince Abdallah bin Abd Al-'Aziz Gives Saudi Terrorists One Last Chance, Clip No. 121, www.memritv.org).
In response, Sawt Al-Jihad, an online magazine identified with Al-Qa'ida in the Arabian Peninsula, published an article by Sheikh Ubay Abd Al-Rahman Al-Athari bin Bajad Al-'Utaybi, titled "Oh Demonic Rulers, There Will Be No Surrender!," rejecting the Saudi offer. The following is the translation of his article:(1)
"Jihad is a Principle of Faith That Flows in Our Blood and Gushes From Our Hearts"
"Praise be to Allah, and prayer and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and all his family and companions. Now to the matter:
"We have heard the speech of the Traitor of the Two Holy Places, which was written by one of his black servants and read by the stupid one, his crown prince [Abdallah ibn Abd Al-'Aziz], which states that the Mujahideen must turn themselves in within one month from the date of the speech.( 2)
"We want to tell these demonic rulers [Tawaghit] and their rabble hangers-on,(3) their black servants, their army, and their rabbis, monks, and agents: We did not take this path [of Jihad] because someone misled us or for the sake of some person. Rather, we read in the Book of Allah [i.e., the Koran] 'Oh you who believe, what is it with you, that when you are asked to go forth to fight for the sake of Allah you cling heavily to the ground? Are you more satisfied with this world than with the Hereafter? But little is the comfort of this life as compared with the Hereafter [Koran 9:38].' (snip...more drivel at the link)
