A MUSLIM RESPONSE TO THE ATTACK ON AMERICA
“Be not weary and faint-hearted, crying
for peace, when you should be uppermost: for Allah is with you, and will never
allow your effort to be in vain.”
(Qur’an: Muhammad: - 47:35)
“He who forsakes his home in the cause
of Allah, finds in the earth many a refuge, wide and spacious: should he die as
a refugee from home for Allah and His Messenger, his reward becomes due and
sure with Allah: and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”
(Qur’an: An-Nisa: -4:100)
PREFACE
I
have followed with indescribable pain the cowardly American terrorist attacks
on those Muslims of Afghanistan who took a stand for Islam and who were
entirely innocent of the September 11th terrorist
attack on America. America has
consistently followed the same policy of ruthless merciless oppression from the
time of the extermination of the indigenous American-Indian peoples and the
enslavement of the African people in the Americas to the absolutely shameless
support for the relentless oppression of the State of Israel in the Holy
Land. Only those who are completely blind
and totally corrupted in respect of their capacity for understanding can fail
to see the above.
It was cowardly because the godless enemy is
too terrified to ever fight a Muslim on a level battleground. That enemy fights his cowardly battles from
the safety of fighter aircrafts, helicopter gunships, massive bombs, guided
missiles, etc., far up in the sky. But Allah Most High will surely bring us
that day, Insha Allah, when we will be able to face the enemy on the
ground on a level battleground. Amin! Until that day comes we must continue our
struggle to defend ourselves and to resist oppression while
showing utmost patience and while holding on to faith. The struggle must continue
regardless of the price we have to pay.
The Taliban
were in a situation comparable to the 12 year old Palestinian Muslim boy who
confronts US- made Israeli tanks with a stone in his hand. It is he who today has inherited the sacred
legacy of Prophet David (s). Neither were
the Taliban defeated by America, nor by the Northern ‘Yankee’ Alliance
with which Iran is still comfortable. And the young boys who fight with stones
in the Holy Land can never be defeated. Rather, the Taliban withdrew
their forces in such a way as would allow them safety from cowardly fighter
aircraft and missiles. And so these
soldiers of Allah live to fight ‘another’ day in the struggle to respond to
oppression in the Holy Land. We salute
them!
Muslims
have absolutely no interest whatsoever in waging any war with America or with
any other country in today’s dominant western civilization. The only war we have to wage is the one that
will eventually liberate the Holy Land.
Indeed that war will never end until the prophesy of Prophet Muhammad
(s) is fulfilled which will witness a Muslim army emerging out of Khorasan
and marching triumphantly to Jerusalem!
All those who read this book, and who are Muslims, should have the
desire in their hearts to be a part of that army.
This
book salutes the memory of every Muslim who died in Afghanistan in consequence
of cowardly British, American and Israeli terrorism. The blood and tears of our valiant sons who
were killed in Afghanistan, and who will now be killed elsewhere, or who will
be imprisoned in the prisons of the dominant godless world order, will not be
in vain. Rather it will fertilize the
resolve and matchless spirit of millions and millions of Muslims (particularly
Muslim youth) elsewhere who will now respond to this awesome shameless naked oppression
by committing themselves and their sons and grandsons to that armed Islamic
struggle that will eventually liberate the Holy Land. This ‘dark night’ will hardly last another
fifty years before the sunshine surely returns, Insha Allah, and Truth
triumphs for the last time over falsehood.
At that time Islam would rule the world from Jerusalem. My latest book, ‘Jerusalem in the Qur’an’,
which is soon to be printed, was written to inspire such Muslim youth. I pray that Allah Most High will send those
who will translate that book into every language spoken by Muslims so that it
may reach all such Muslim youth. Amin!
The
terrorist attack on America constituted a turning point in history as
significant as that moment in the summer of 1914 when another terrorist attack
launched the First World War. I believe
that those who are hell-bent on eventually ruling the whole world are
responsible for both terrorist attacks, and that the Israeli Mossad and its allies
acted on their behalf in planning and executing the attack of September 11th.
The
terrorist attack and the ensuing so-called war on ‘terrorism’ that it provoked,
was designed to make the world a safer place for the Jews and for the State of
Israel. The true terrorists who attacked
America on that day know who they are, and Allah Most High also Knows who they
are. We pray to Allah Most High to
expose them, and to punish them. Amin!
The
ruling British/American/Jewish world order is now more openly at war with Islam
than ever before. This is because they
are approaching the climax of their more-than-a-thousand- year war. ‘Jerusalem in the Qur’an’ makes an
attempt to explain this war against Islam, and to anticipate what lies
ahead for that world order, for Muslims, and for the State of Israel.
The
most dangerous and obnoxious of all creatures on the face of the earth today,
or the most evil people beneath the sky, are those scholars of Islam or
Muslim leaders who were totally deceived by the September 11th act
of terrorism and who responded to it by blaming Arabs and Muslims for the
attack and by extending patriotic support to Britain/USA/Israel in their war
against Islamic Afghanistan. Usama bin
Ladin and the Taliban regime in Afghanistan were completely innocent of
that September 11th attack.
The war against them on this account is manifestly unjust. Such misguided Islamic scholars and leaders
ought to be universally condemned.
I
responded to the September 11th attack days later by praying to Allah Most
High in an Islamic Center in Queens, New York, to punish those
responsible for the attack with the greatest possible punishment, and with a
punishment that would continue until the Last Day. All those who were present in the Masjid
joined me in the prayer. Having done that I now invite the Jews to make a
similar prayer.
