“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…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.”
“Dear Muslim brothers and sisters: we shouldn't run away from confronting the real facts of the
current struggle between the Crusader West and Islam. We should realize that we are being
targeted by a new Crusade, being waged against Muslims from Algeria to East Turkistan and from
Somalia to Chechnya. And Pakistan without a doubt is at the heart of that campaign. That
campaign aims at imposing a new system of slavery and a modern form of colonialism upon the
so-called Third World in general and the Muslim World in particular.”


“The Muslim World is seen – in the eyes of the neo-Crusaders – as the natural incubator of the real
and imminent threat: the Islamic Jihad, or what the West labels Islamic terrorism, which is capable
of motivating and mobilizing the Muslim Ummah to liberate its occupied territories, reclaim its
stolen resources, [and] get rid of its corrupt, secular, and tyrannical regimes.. And because of that,
the Muslim World threatens and undermines Western hegemony, or what they call the world
order or international legitimacy.”

“This is why the Western Crusade, headed by America and served by the puppet rulers of our
countries with their armies, security organizations, media, judiciary and jails, aims at halting the
escalating jihadi tide in the Muslim World. In Pakistan in particular, the Crusade aims at
eradicating the growing jihadi nucleus in order to break up this nuclear capable country, and
transform it into tiny fragments, loyal to and dependent on the neo-Crusaders.”

“The only hope to save Pakistan from this disastrous fate is Jihad. There is no other alternative.
The current ruling class in Pakistan is lining up under the cross of the modern Crusade and
competing for American bribes. Hence, the actual ruler of Pakistan is the American ambassador,
who pays the bribes and issues the orders. So the only thing that class can be expected to do is to
fight Muslims and Mujahedeen and sacrifice Pakistan and the lives and dignity of Pakistanis in
order to achieve their dirty, greedy ambitions. They have already sold their honor and religion to
the Crusaders.”

“Meanwhile, the rest of the political institutions have either sunk in the swamp of corruption or
are too helplessly crippled and paralyzed to bring about any change which might extract Pakistan
from the miserable situation it is in and take it towards Islamic government. So the only force
capable of bringing about the changeover to the Islamic system is the Jihadi force.”

“Today, the Mujahedeen are resisting the Crusaders in Afghanistan and their bombing in
Pakistan. Meanwhile, the Pakistan army and security organizations stab them in their backs. And
in spite of all of that, the Mujahedeen are winning victories and moving from one conquest to
another. This is one of the good signs of victory and triumph, with Allah's help.”

“The scholars of Islam have unanimously agreed that if the infidel enemy enters a Muslim country,
it is the duty of all of its inhabitants – and when needed, their neighbors – to mobilize for Jihad;
and the Americans are today occupying Afghanistan and Pakistan, so it is the duty of every
Muslim in Pakistan to rise up to fight them.”

“It is the individual duty of every Muslim in Pakistan to join the Mujahedeen, or at the very least, to
support the Jihad in Pakistan and Afghanistan with money, advice, expertise, information,
communications, shelter and anything else he can offer.”

“It is also the duty of every noble person in Pakistan’s army and security agencies to give the
orders of Allah and His Messenger precedence over the orders of the Crusaders’ slaves, and to
refrain from killing, pursuing or harming in any way Muslims and Mujahedeen.”

“Today there is a solid, cohesive Jihadi nucleus taking form in Pakistan and Afghanistan. This
emerging jihadi force is resisting – by the grace of Almighty Allah – all efforts to eliminate and
extinguish it. The treasonous Pakistan army has tried much, but by the grace of Allah, it has all
been in vain.”

“The jihadi force in Pakistan and Afghanistan is not only resisting attempts to defeat it, but is also
winning military victories over the treasonous Pakistan army and the Crusader coalition, and is
liberating more land and applying Shariat in wide areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan in defiance
of the Crusaders and the corrupt puppet regimes and secular judiciaries which continue to seek
shelter under the broken wings of the American eagle.”

“Dear Muslim brothers and sisters: if we stand by passively without offering due support to the
Mujahedeen, we shall not only contribute to the destruction of Pakistan and Afghanistan, but we
shall also deserve the painful punishment of Almighty Allah.”
“May Allah guide the Muslim Ummah to the path of Jihad, and may He defeat His enemies, the
Crusaders and their agents in the Muslim countries.”
