Ayman Al-Zawahiri Appeals to Pakistanis to Wage Jihad: American Crusader Interference Endangers Pakistan; If Infidel Enemy Enters a Muslim Country, All Inhabitants Must Mobilize For Jihad – Which Can Motivate Umma to Establish Caliphate

The following is the transcript of an audio message by Al-Qaeda deputy leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri. In it, Al-Zawahiri states that Pakistan is greatly endangered by the U.S., that Muslims are being targeted by a new Crusade, “from Algeria to East Turkistan and from Somalia to Chechnya - and Pakistan... is at the heart of that,” and that “the only hope of saving Pakistan from this disastrous fate is Jihad.” He adds that the Islamic Jihad, which “the West labels as Islamic terrorism,” is capable of “motivating and mobilizing the Muslim umma to liberate its occupied territories, reclaim its stolen resources, get rid of its corrupt, secular, and tyrannical regimes, and establish its caliphate.” The message was posted on the Internet on July 15, 2009.

My Muslim brothers and sisters in Pakistan,

I believe that every honest and sincere Muslim in Pakistan should seriously contemplate – at this moment – Pakistan’s present state and expected future, because the blatant American Crusader interference in Pakistan’s affairs, or to be precise, the American Crusader manipulation of Pakistan’s destiny, has reached such an extent that it now poses a grave danger to Pakistan’s future and very existence.

It is evident that Pakistan is deeply involved in a fierce internal struggle between two forces.

The first one represents the Islamic values of and is defending the dignity and independence of the Muslim Ummah; confronting – with strength and courage – the American aggression against Pakistan and Afghanistan; and defeating the traitors who transgress against the blood, honor and dignity of the Muslims for the sake of the invading and aggressive Crusader forces. It also symbolizes the Muslim Ummah’s rejection of all forms of external aggression, occupation of its territories, theft of its resources and interference in its affairs. This force is also persisting in and carrying on the long and continuing struggle of the Muslims of the Indian subcontinent to establish Pakistan as a political entity standing as a citadel of Islam in the subcontinent: an entity ruled by Shariat as the supreme undisputed law and realizing by offering shelter and support to Muslims victimized by the aggressive anti-Islamic forces; and by abstaining from providing any form of cooperation, help or support to the infidels against Muslims. This force is the real hope for achieving the goal of establishing a true Pakistan, a goal which, after sixty years of separation from India, has yet to be achieved.

The second force comprises a clique of corrupt politicians and a junta of military officers who are fighting to remain on the American pay list by employing Pakistan’s entire military and all its resources in the American Crusade against Islam, and turning Pakistan’s military and security organizations into hunting dogs in the modern Crusade.
