'Why We Fight America': Al-Qa'ida Spokesman Explains September 11 and Declares Intentions to Kill 4 Million Americans with Weapons of Mass Destruction
The Entire Earth Must Be Subjected to Islam
"How can [he] possibly [accept humiliation and inferiority] when he knows that his nation was created to stand at the center of leadership, at the center of hegemony and rule, at the center of ability and sacrifice? How can [he] possibly [accept humiliation and inferiority] when he knows that the [divine] rule is that the entire earth must be subject to the religion of Allah not to the East, not to the West - to no ideology and to no path except for the path of Allah?..."
"As long as this Muslim knows and believes in these facts, he will not - even for a single moment - stop striving to achieve it, even if it costs him his soul... his time, his property, and his son, as it is said, 'Say [to the believers]: If your fathers and your sons and your brethren and your wives and your kinsfolk and the worth you have acquired and the trade, the dullness of which you apprehend, and the dwellings that you fancy are dearer to you than Allah and His Messenger, and striving in His cause, then wait until Allah issues His judgment. Allah guides not the disobedient people...'"(2)
Part II: The Blow Against the U.S. Will Come from Where Least Expected
"...The [premises] on which we base ourselves as an organization, and on which we base our operations and our method of action, are practical and realistic... They are also scientific and [in accordance with] Islamic religious law, and they give us confidence and certainty... In writing them and in [publicly] revealing them, I do not intend to be apologetic for what was done; I lay [these arguments] before you so as to emphasize that we are continuing with our blows against the Americans and the Jews, and with attacking them, both people and installations [so as to stress] that what awaits the Americans will not, Allah willing, be less than what has already happened to them. America must prepare itself; it must go on maximum alert; ... because, Allah willing, the blow will come from where they least expect it..."
"America is the head of heresy in our modern world, and it leads an infidel democratic regime that is based upon separation of religion and state and on ruling the people by the people via legislating laws that contradict the way of Allah and permit what Allah has prohibited. This compels the other countries to act in accordance with the same laws in the same ways... and punishes any country [that rebels against these laws] by besieging it, and then by boycotting it. By so doing, [America] seeks to impose on the world a religion that is not Allah's..."
"America, with the collaboration of the Jews, is the leader of corruption and the breakdown [of values], whether moral, ideological, political, or economic corruption. It disseminates abomination and licentiousness among the people via the cheap media and the vile curricula."
"America is the reason for all oppression, injustice, licentiousness, or suppression that is the Muslims' lot. It stands behind all the disasters that were caused and are still being caused to the Muslims; it is immersed in the blood of Muslims and cannot hide this."
"For 50 years in Palestine, the Jews - with the blessing and support of the Americans - carried out abominations of murder, suppression, abuse, and exile... The Jews exiled nearly 5 million Palestinians and killed nearly 260,000. They wounded nearly 180,000, and crippled nearly 160,000."
"Due to the American bombings and siege of Iraq, more than 1,200,000 Muslims were killed in the past decade. Due to the siege, over a million children are killed [annually] - that is 83,333 children on average per month, 2,777 children on average per day. 5,000 Iraqis were killed in one day in the Al-'Amiriya shelter alone. Are these statistics of military installations???!!!!"
"In its war against the Taliban and Al-Qa'ida in Afghanistan, America has killed 12,000 Afghan civilians and 350 Arab Jihad fighters, among them women and children. It annihilated entire families from among the Arab Jihad fighters while they were in their cars, when the American Air Force bombed [them] with helicopters and anti-tank missiles, until nothing remained of some of them except scattered body parts."
"In Somalia, America killed 13,000 Somalis and [its soldiers] carried out acts of abomination on [Somali] boys and women."
Muslims Have Suffered from the U.S.'s Standing with Christians
"America's standing with the Christians of the world against the Muslims has stripped the camouflage from its face. Much can be said about this regarding the Sudan, the Philippines, Indonesia, Kashmir, Macedonia, Bosnia, and other tragedies. America's siege on the Islamic countries as punishment for their rebellion against its laws has transgressed all limits, and Muslims have suffered economic losses that outstrip the imagination."
"After all this, is it forbidden for a victim to escape when he is tied and brought to the slaughterhouse?!! Is he not entitled, while he is being slaughtered, to stamp his feet?!!..."
"After all this, some [Arab regimes] shed crocodile tears for what happened to the country of heresy [America], and tried to exonerate Islam from what happened to [America] and asked the country of heresy to treat the Muslims sensitively and gently, and sent messengers and broadcasters to the Jihad fighters with a request to stop fighting Hubal [i.e. meaning the U.S.]. Do they really think we would do this?!"
"No, by Allah. They [the Arab regimes] have turned their back on us and we have turned our back on them ... We would have no honor if we did not avenge the blood of our brothers in Palestine, in Iraq, in Afghanistan, and everywhere."
"... The banner is being waved openly, and now there is 'only a trench of belief' and 'a trench of heresy.'"
Part III: The Islamic Justification for Al-Qa'ida's Jihad Against the U.S.
"The religious arguments on which we base ourselves in our Jihad against the Americans - the explanations that inspire us with confidence in the triumph of our religion, our belief, and our faith - are many, and this is not the place to enumerate them, as they are included in the books of the sages."
"No one disagrees with these explanations, except he who lives [in] fear ... he who asks for shelter, thinking that he has distanced himself from evil ... or he who kneels as a doorman before the doors of the tyrants to gain a position, advancement, or a gift!!"
"These people have not, Allah be praised, dissuaded us, not even for a single day, from continuing in our path, from our Jihad, and from our mission. Allah willing, they will not prevent us [in the future]."
"In this article I will present one explanation that suffices [to wage] Jihad against the Americans, the Jews, and anyone who has gone in their path..."
"Allah said, 'He who attacked you, attack him as he attacked you,' and also, 'The reward of evil is a similar evil,' and also, 'When you are punished, punish as you have been punished.'"
"The words of the sages on these verses are clear: Ibn Taimiyya [in his book] Al Ikhtiyarat Wa-Al-Fatawi; Ibn Al-Qayim in I'lam Al-Muqi'in and in Al-Hashiya; Al-Qurtubi in his Tafsir, Al-Nawawi in Al-Muhazab; Al-Shukani in Nayl Al-Awtar; and others, may Allah's mercy be upon them."
"Anyone who peruses these sources reaches a single conclusion: The sages have agreed that the reciprocal punishment to which the verses referred is not limited to a specific instance. It is a valid rule for punishments for infidels, for the licentious Muslims, and for the oppressors."
Islamic Law Allows
Reciprocation against the U.S.
"If by religious law it is permitted to punish a Muslim [for the crime he committed] - it is all the more permitted to punish a Harbi infidel [i.e. he who belongs to Dar Al-Harb 'the domain of disbelief'] in the same way he treated the Muslim."
"According to the numbers I noted in the previous section of the lives lost from among the Muslims because of the Americans, directly or indirectly, we still are at the beginning of the way. The Americans have still not tasted from our hands what we have tasted from theirs. The [number of] killed in the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were no more than fair exchange for the ones killed in the Al-'Amiriya shelter in Iraq, and are but a tiny part of the exchange for those killed in Palestine, Somalia, Sudan, the Philippines, Bosnia, Kashmir, Chechnya, and Afghanistan."
We Have the Right to Kill 4 Million Americans
"We have not reached parity with them. We have the right to kill 4 million Americans - 2 million of them children - and to exile twice as many and wound and cripple hundreds of thousands. Furthermore, it is our right to fight them with chemical and biological weapons, so as to afflict them with the fatal maladies that have afflicted the Muslims because of the [Americans'] chemical and biological weapons."
"America knows only the language of force. This is the only way to stop it and make it take its hands off the Muslims and their affairs. America does not know the language of dialogue!! Or the language of peaceful coexistence!! America is kept at bay by blood alone..."

Psychotic rambling shared by all liberals who tacitly support AlQaeda ideologicaly. Meanwhile God is laughing in heaven at those purporting the sinlessness of their deeds because of their purported liberal "root causes", Marxian "inevitability" and now AlQaeda "naturalness".
Apparently liberals share that too. it fits in their rights of the poor scheme.
This is actually pretty well stated. The stuff about murdering Muslims is the usual bunch of self-pitying, self-justifying horsehockey, but this is not. The threat that America presents to Islam is simply modernity, and there's absolutely nothing we can do about it.
American needs to read this, understand it, believe it and DEAL with it. They want to kill us and we will either stop them now or die at their hands later.
Its not pretty. Its not nice. Its not PC. We can't talk them out of it. We can't pay them off. We can't say sorry enough (for what?).
We will simply choose: them or us. Pick one, and do it soon, America.
How can [he] possibly [accept humiliation and inferiority] when he knows that the [divine] rule is that the entire earth must be subject to the religion of Allah not to the East, not to the West - to no ideology and to no path except for the path of Allah?..."
Clearly logic or even consistancy is not required of such "intellectuals". This should be on the front page of every newspaper in the USA so all can understand the danger that confronts us and know just who the left is supporting.
Why is the world suprised?! Why were millions of people astounded by what happened to Al Quaeda? Did the world think anything else would happen? That something less than this would happen?!
What I really don't understand is why they want Islamic rule so badly when the track record of Islamic countries is so rotten. In this regard, it's a lot like Communism, propped up with oil revenues.
Why do they talk about "peaceful coexistance" at the end? If everyone must become Muslim, and there are substantial numbers of people who don't want to so become, then peaceful coexistance is impossible.

As opposed to establishing a state religion and persecuting or executing citizens who don't believe in the state faith system as they do in Islamic countries.
No, these are statistics of a raving loonie. Saddam Hussein started a war with Iran that produced over a million casualities. Plus, Iraq got it's butt whipped when Saddam's army invaded Kuwait in another inter-Muslim agression.And the President of Iraq, instead of feeding the Iraqi children, is now offering $25,000 per head for Palestinian suicide bombers to kill themselves and any innocents nearby. But that doesn't matter, this is all typical of propaganda to whip up the brainless. What should be concerning to us is that they appear to be growing increasingly militant - jihad, and all that nonsense. They will demand a showdown at this rate, and the outcome will unpleasantly surprise them. But we have to wake up first. That's our problem.
George Bush says "Islam is a peacful religion". GB had the Muslim leaders into the White House and afterwards had a Muslim prayer session.
Rather than think of Bush as being so uninformed , I would like to think he is as treacherous as the muslims are. - Tom
It seems ludicrous to me, a Hollywoodish PR title for a group more akin to a gang than anything else. Imagine this press report from the 20's: "Al Capone's spokesman said today...." Doesn't quite work, does it?
I maintain that terrorist groups are a way for the psycho nut case criminals among us to justify their anti-social behavior. It is not impressive to say you are a criminal. But hey, tag whatever political reason you can muster onto your criminal behavior, and suddenly you are a terrorist and get to have spokesmen and op-ed pieces in the New York Times!
Here I am, a normal citizen, who can't do a heck of alot to protect myself. I rely on the government and military to protect me. Warn me if I need to be warned. This isn't another country I am dealing with, where our diplomats can haggle with their diplomats...this is a whole breed of murderous fanatics that live amongst me. The fight isn't even fair. They think they have the right to blow me up, disease me, write articles about why I should be killed. And all I can do is sit here and read their articles. And hope for the best in the end. I am not supposed to think about wishing they would be deported, nuked, or basically exterminated. Because that isn't polite. So I am sitting here, a duck waiting to be roasted. This is completely ridiculous. If I hear "Islam is a religion of peace" one more time, or "only 1/10th of 1/10th are fanatical" I'm gonna scream. That is utter BS. People are getting mad and I woulden't be suprised if we get attacked again, people will start taking matters into their own hands.
