In
the Name of Allah the most Beneficent and most Merciful
Praise be to
Allah the lord of the world, and may peace and Allah’s praises be upon
our master and prophet, the purifier of our sins, and the love of our
hearts “Mohammed Bin Abdullah” followed by his pure progeny, rightful
followers, and all the martyrs and mujahideen (2) for Allah’s teachings
since the birth of Adam until the day of judgment. May peace be upon you
my lord and master Abu Abdullah “Al Hussein” (3) and upon those
spirits who are floating around thy grave. I send you my adoration as long
as night follows day. I ask my dear Allah to keep me committed to
continuously visit thee and thy family. May peace be upon “Al
Hussein,” Ali Bin Al Hussein, the sons of “Al Hussein,” and the
followers of “Al Hussein.”
Dear
brothers and sisters, May peace be upon you all; Allah says in his Glory
book
“Verily, Fir'aun (Pharaoh) exalted himself in the land and made its
people sects, weakening (oppressing) a group (i.e. Children of Israel)
among them: killing their sons, and letting their females live. Verily, he
was of the Mufsidűn (i.e. those who commit great sins and crimes,
oppressors, tyrants).
And We wished to do a favour to those who were weak
(and oppressed) in the land, and to make them rulers and to make them the
inheritors, And to establish them in the land, and We let Fir'aun
(Pharaoh) and Hâmân and their hosts receive from them that which they
feared”.
Let’s
remember some of the words in my speech I read to you on the first night.
I said that “Al Hussein” may peace be upon him, rose up and fought
with the very few members of his family and his companions. He was
protecting Islam, the values of Islam, and the existence of this religion,
in order to prevent its termination, transformation, vanishing, or the
manipulation of its teachings in an aim to send the people back to the
early days of ignorance. I added saying that there are many challenges at
this time in which we are living. The declaration of war by the American
Administration these days is nothing but a war on Islam, on the values of
Islam, on the understandings of Islam, on the Quraan (6) of Islam, and on
the Prophet of Islam on the grounds that the existence this religion lives
among the people of this nation and its Moslem followers. I would like to
stand up today in the atmosphere of this declaration of war to try and
comprehend, explain, and realize the issues widely surrounding us.
Consequently we’ll realize our stand, the enemy we are facing, and the
sort of reality or fact we are living in at this present time.
When
we go back and read some of the words or phrases of the American president
“Bush” speeches during the past few days, weeks and months, we will
find that some of his words and phrases identified the title of this war.
For example, from what he said: “it is the responsibility of each
American at the present time to guarantee the domination and the spread of
the American values in other parts of this world.” I repeat “the
domination and the spread of the American values in other parts of this
world.” He spoke these words while he was addressing his officers and
soldiers, encouraging them to be patient, endure and tolerate the
difficulties. He told them we are fighting for the values of civilization
(of course it would be the materialistic American civilization!). He
promises to send forces to this country or that in more than one occasion,
and that he aims at transferring the values of the American society to the
various countries, societies, and states, since terror cannot be
exterminated by the means of military and security only. Yet he says it
should be fought by means of culture, which means that we should wipe out
the culture that gives birth to terrorists and uprisings, in order to
replace it with another culture, which would not push those society
individuals to commit acts of terror (of course it would be the terror
according to the American comprehension).
In
any case, this issue becomes clear to us, since even this war, which Bush
announced, did not rely on any basic rules or thoughtful and cultural or
educational rules. After his announcement of this war, he gave missions to
a number of his American educationalists to write theories about this war,
just as our leader imam “Khamenaei” (4) said a few days ago. After
their declaration of war, starting the war, attacking Afghanistan, killing
whomever they wanted, doing whatever they wanted. A group of their
American educationists were assigned to write theories and ideologies
about this war, to write the basics of the ethics and the theories for
which this war stood. Yet this confirms that what is being applied by
America is killing first then issuing a verdict later. First we kill then
we issue the verdict of killing. The American educationists issued a
statement of mass killing but after the mass killing, which confirms that
the ground on which this American war stands is not what these
educationists are claiming, but something else. Bush is calling for the
world to follow his values (excluding Europe of course), he’s aiming at
the Arab and Islamic world in the first degree, a world from which he sees
terrorists, yet his list of terrorists include mostly that of the states,
organizations, parties, and personalities who belong to this Islamic
world. Yet his promise to us is that the values of his society should
conquer that of our countries and societies and replace them.
This
night we will try to present a short and calm reading of the virtues and
values of the American society, the virtues and values that are ruling the
American society, and which he is promising and preaching to us.
He
says that he will bring his values to our countries in order for us to
become good people and not terrorists. Of course we must discover the
truth, which lies clearly and sharply behind the picture that is showed by
the media about the society of the USA, a picture that is a lie. Anyway,
This truth could be discovered by reading some reports, studies, books,
documentaries, and even watching some movies that shows some aspects of
life in the society of the USA, we can reveal this truth through the
various numbers of the statistics.
About
one or two years ago and during the first night of Muharram (5) I read my
speech that was mostly statistical. I said that there were many actions of
killings and murders, the increase in the number of prisons and prisoners,
mentally sick people, drug users, and so one. I still remember a
significant number, which is: “in the USA there is one out of five who
is mentally sick.” I also mentioned statistics of murders, rapes,
thefts, drugs, bandits, mafias, and the increasing number of the
illegitimate children as a result of adulteries, and I read the numbers in
your hearings. There was a group of the American Press on that night. This
group had an appointment with me on the following day. When they met with
me I asked them what was their comment on what I had mentioned the day
before and whether my information was or was not correct explaining that I
relied on magazines, journals, and Arabic studies that may or may not be
correct. They replied telling me that the information and statistics that
I mentioned yesterday were very old, and that the numbers were much less
than those numbers and statistics published by USA press. It seems like
the issues take much longer to reach to the Arab world. Of course they
were right because I said last year that these statistics belonged the
years of 92, 93 or 95, and that we did not have accurate statistics.
Tonight
I do not have statistics because time is too short to mention both
statistics and the idea, which I am going to read to you, and I ask you to
give interest to its headings in order to obtain statistics and numbers
that are high and amazing. If we travel in our minds to the reality of the
American society and the values, which are in fact ruling the American
society, we will find that there are three basic issues that control the
life of that society, the system, administration and the people as well.
These three basic issues are: money, sex, and power. Try harder to look
inside that society and you might find some limited phenomena that do not
relate to these three basic issues. But at the most any phenomena,
politics, relations or bonds found in the American society are related to
these three issues and ruled by them. The ruling values in the American
society are the same as those ruled during the Roman’s Empire (money,
sex and power), we will find that these rules will strongly interpret
themselves when we enter the fields of society, family, morality, economy,
military, politics and others. We’ll try and enter these fields one at a
time. When we enter the social life in the USA we can see where their
values and virtues are leading. I have more than one heading.
.
The
first heading says that the ruling values in the social life there are
always leading to breaking the family bonds. The family is melting and
slowly perishing in that society. Imagine a society in which the families
are facing such circumstances that are against natural laws. There are
steep declines in the percentage of the number of marriages, steep
inclines in the percentage of the number of divorces, and the popularity
of marriage dishonesty (where it becomes popular and not an exception),
yet running away from family responsibilities. When boys and girls reach a
certain age, the law allows them to do whatever they like from all the
sins that the law allows (the end). Therefore you can notice that the son
or daughter can go and come, as he or she likes, and thus why you find
that the American family is usually lacking in unity. Each member of the
family (father, mother, son, daughter) is going into a different
direction. They might see each other 1-3 times in a year, at Christmas,
New Year, or on Thanksgiving Day (when a roast turkey will gather them).
During the rest of the year no one knows what happens to the other. Is the
boy in prison? Is the girl lost? No one cares about the other. The family
bonds or what we call family kind loving relations do not exist.
.
There
is widespread, illegitimate or unlawful relationships, meaning that
adultery in the American society is a popular aspect, or a culture but not
an exception. Any human society in any their country might face adultery
relations, but it would be exceptional and limited, practiced in secret or
slightly becomes an activity of the norm. Once adultery becomes the habit
and culture of the society, it would lead to the phenomenon of
prostitution. Where would all this lead? There are tens of millions of the
USA births, where children do not have fathers; it is not a matter of only
a thousand or two; it is one, two, or tens of millions. I remember a
statistic that included forty million when Clinton was a president (I
don’t know if that statistic exaggerated). This reason enforced Clinton
to hold a convention at that time in order to discuss and limit this
phenomenon. The children born from adultery are being registered under the
name of their mothers. Another abnormal relationship is that of incest,
where a father sleeps with his daughter, a brother sleeps with his sister.
Let us not forget the gays, Lesbians, and son on. These facts are an
extraction and I do not want to lengthen the subject more than this, but
we must realise that when we examine the popular sides of the society and
families, we find that these are the ruling values that live in American
society. This completely means that Bush is saying to us “your girls are
well mannered, they have honour, shyness and bashfulness.” However I
will send you the values spreading presently in our societies and
families. Every now and again the police takes Bush’s daughters into
custody and gather them from the pubs, not forgetting his nieces as well.
Then they would say that his daughters are poor, they are alcoholic, and
just like their daddy.
The
main power that existed in our Arabic and Islamic world is still existing,
and that is the power of the family bond, this bonding, this atmosphere of
love, passion morality, and socialism; these are the issues they want to
strike. The values of the American society say that these virtues should
no longer exist. We come to the conclusion of the first heading, which is
the scattering and breaking unity of the family.
The
second heading is in regards to the social issue. There is an incline in
the percentage of the number of murders and killings. Last time I read
some amazing statistics regarding this phenomenon including the incidents
of rubbery, assault and rape. I remember the statistics quoting that every
minute there is such and such. It mentioned drugs, alcoholism, mafias,
armed bandits, and the number of the prisons and prisoners was increasing
in the USA, yet the violent culture was becoming popular. The American
films show mostly violence and sex actions, which reflect the life of
American society. Where to do these films and this culture of violence
would lead? We hear every while that a teenager who is 8,10 or 15 years
has entered his school while shooting his classroom mates. It means that
he entered the classroom then directed the brunt of his bullets towards
his mates with whom he has been sitting, drinking, eating, learning and
playing for many years leading to their death. So the second heading is
the increase of murders and killings inside the American society.
On
this occasion I would like to tell you that if you examine the society of
the Islamic and Arab world, the number of troubles and incidents, and the
suppressing circumstances applied by the regimes; then try to write a
statistical report about the number of killings each year all over the
Islamic and Arab world, you will find that the percentage is far less than
that of the USA.
The
Third title is the severe psychiatric and spiritual crisis and the
cultural and spiritual emptiness. A person is not just a body whose needs
alone have to be satisfied and fulfilled. Besides the body there is the
spirit that has needs as well such as love or passion of fatherhood,
motherhood, brotherhood and other related relationships like friends. A
man cannot avoid this side of needs. A person can fulfil his private body
needs and seductions, be in control of power or whatsoever. On the other
hand he feels that he needs a father, a mother, a brother, a sister, a
friend, good relations with others, love, tenderness, and to a much wider
and higher horizon, which is reaching the absolute of such feelings.
This
crisis is expressed by the high percentage of the ill people complaining
of psychiatric illnesses in the society of the USA, and in the percentage
of people who are abusing drugs and alcohol. The suicide percentage is
rising one year after another, and yet there is the phenomenon of
committing suicide in-groups (which means that fifty or sixty persons
gather and commit suicide at one time). We can add to all these subjects
the subject of racial discrimination as well when we talk about the values
of the society of USA and Mr. Bush.
Fourteen
hundred years ago this Quraan accused by the Americans of being a book of
terror came down with a sign of Allah that said: “I created both male
and female and made thee different races so that you could meet and know
each other, he who is the most generous at Allah is the most pious”. Yet
the prophet of this religion “Mohammed Bin Abdullah (may peace be upon
him)” came to assure this idea and confirm that a man is no better than
another except in his good deeds, there is no difference between Arab and
a foreigner, or black and white. Islam terminated this idea 1400 years
ago. While on the other hand this issue of racial discrimination is still
present as I speak in the society of USA. There is a strong racial
discrimination and hard feeling towards black people.
Who
are these black people? When you look at a black man in the USA you must
place a picture before your eyes which resembles the British and European
colonists who conquered this new land of America accompanying with them
hundreds of thousands of the black people who were brought as slaves from
Africa in order to serve them in the USA. The racial discrimination
towards the blacks is still persisting in every aspect. Every now and
again we read in the American press scripts about objections and sometimes
watch demonstration and incidents on the screens due to this racial
discrimination. Moreover, there is a racial discrimination towards the Red
Indians who are the original inhabitants of the country.
After
all these facts I tell you frankly that if it wasn’t for the determined
willingness, courage, Jihad, and fight of the Palestinian people, the
Americans and their civilization would have decided to solve that problem
of “Israel” between the Jews and Palestinians just like they did with
the Indians. This is the picture that lies in the mind of the American. It
is the picture of what they did with the original owners of the lands in
the USA, it is how they are looking at them and treating them in the
several aspects of life. We may in some cases find that there is a black
in a high position of a certain party, or in a high position in the
American administration, which means that if it was true it is an
exception. Yet I believe that this is only a decoration to hide the real
life these blacks and Indians are facing, and the reality of the racial
discrimination that is persisting in the society of the USA.
Now
let us examine the values of the American society when it comes to the
military issue. Speaking of the great American state-of-the-art regarding
the military level, the first matter that would hit your mind is the crime
of the 20th century. What is this crime? It is the bombarding of Hiroshima
and Nagasaki in Japan using nuclear bombs, and killing the hundreds of
thousands of men, women, and children. All the military researchers
confirm that the USA did not need such operation to end the battle. The
USA executed that operation in order to terrorize Japan and the world, and
to impose its presence and power within the framework of the formation of
the world’s new system after the war. This psychiatric background is
nothing but revenge. It was a revenge for 2000 American soldiers or more
who were killed by the Japanese suicide fighters. To revenge for 2000
soldiers they don’t kill 2000 Japanese soldiers, or even 20,000 Japanese
soldiers; instead they kill hundreds of thousands of men, women, and
children of the Japanese civilians. This past century did not witness such
crime; I don’t think that even all the passed centuries have witnessed
such crime. A crime that is extremely ugly and evil committed by the USA
against Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Some of those who conducted this act are
still alive in America and married with children. This means that this act
is not very old and is not as if it took place 200 or 300 years ago.
.
Let’s
talk about the war crimes in Vietnam. (The American is funny, he
exaggerates and shakes the whole world because one American civilian was
kidnapped and killed). In order for the Americans to win the war in
Vietnam, they had no objection in destroying, burning, and wiping out
complete Vietnamese villages, which sheltered women and children farmers.
They destroyed these villages because they thought that it could secure
shelter and food for the Vietnamese fighters, or may offer support and
information. On the other hand it may offer nothing. In order to crush the
will of the Vietnamese fighters they would go ahead and burn a Vietnamese
village completely. These actions are not old as well and as if they took
place 100 years ago; no it happened some years ago.
.
Let’s
talk about war crimes in Afghanistan. They say the Americans made a
mistake and wiped out a village (it’s ok it was a mistake and no one
says anything). Then they wipe out another village and say it’s another
mistake (it’s ok the information was wrong, it was a mistake and no one
says anything). Then a third time the same happens. You can count the
Afghani villages that were destroyed by the American warplanes only
because they doubted that they sheltered bases for Taliban and Al Qaeda,
and no one says anything. This is Strange! Where are the organizations of
human rights? Where is the European Union? Where is the organization of
the Islamic league? Where is the world? Where are the values of this
world? Where is the civilization? Nothing. No one is allowed to whisper
since Bush is angry. There were some people who were killed in New York
and Washington, and Bush has the right to revenge by whatever means he
wishes. Isn’t that so? The warplanes flew and wiped out a convoy that
included many Afghan tripe Sheikhs. Then they say it’s a mistake. They
did not even apologize. These spirits of the civilians killed in
Afghanistan were not even respected by the USA. I remember that there was
one problem hanging between the Vietnamese and the Americans about whether
the Americans should or should not apologize for what they did in Vietnam.
I don’t think they did. The Americans committed these war crimes.
Let
us go further back in history to examine what they did to the Red Indians.
What can we find? These poor Indians are incapable of producing cinema
films to show the reality of what happened. But the Americans can produce
many films to present the American soldiers as poor people who are
defending civilization, and they place red feathers on the heads of the
Red Indians picturing them as ignorant and immoral barbarians, and that
they are attacking the peaceful Americans who in fact came and raped their
lands and built forts on them. Isn’t this is how the American films are?
The Red Indians came and attacked the fort, but the Americans did not come
to occupy the lands of the Indians. The same is happening now to the
Palestinians in Palestine. The Palestinians are attacking the Jews and
their colonies or settlements, while it is not the Jews who came from
outside then raped the lands and built settlements in Palestine.
We
can also examine the helping hand of the American to many terrorizing and
suppressing organizations in the world with arms, intelligence, training,
support, and the most sophisticated American weapons (tested and
provided). The most obvious example of these is “Israel” who is
sponsored by the USA regarding the complete military association.
Now
let’s talk about the economic issue. America is known to be a
capitalistic monster due to its great economic values. Who is this
monster? It represents a group of the greatest American companies and
banks that hold and control everything. Consequently fortune will grow for
a little number of the rich who will grow richer every year. On the other
hand the rest of the people can hardly make a living and their lives might
improve slightly. It may feel strange when I say that there are tens of
millions of the Americans who are living below the poverty line, and are
being unemployed. These are mostly blacks, red Indians, and some others.
There is a group of savages controlling this economy. These great
companies that control economy and banks extend their hands to reach media
and politics. Don’t you think that these great industrial companies
especially the arms industrial companies are the ones that brought George
Bush to power. Now he is fulfilling his commitment towards them.
These
are examples of the economical values ruling in the American society, the
concentration of money at the hands of a limited group, while
unemployment, and poverty lies especially at the blacks. Did you know that
they destroy large and huge quantities of crops? For example they dump
large quantities of wheat grains in the sea in order to maintain its
value, while at the same time millions are dying from hunger. These are
the American values, stealing the wealth of others.
What’s
happening in Africa for example? Everyday we wake up to hear that wars are
erupting in many African countries leading to the death of thousands. Do
you think that the Africans are fighting with one another? I don’t think
so, because they did not fight previously and the daily living matters
were normal and quiet. In fact there is a conflict of interest between the
colonial influences. These are the new USA autocracy, and the old colonial
situation. In Africa many European countries have their shares like
France, Britain, Italy, Holland, and even Belgium. Now the Americans came
to wipe out all of these to inherit everything. Who is fighting the
African people? They themselves are fighting each other. Who is killing
the Africans? They themselves are killing one another. In the end the
American is in control and is stealing the wealth of those countries, then
take it to the great American companies, while giving the Africans the
very little and accept them as working farmers or mines workers, not more
nor less. Stealing and controlling other’s wealth are the economic
values of the American society.
The
Islamic world today is recognized to be the greatest exporter of the oil
in the world, but tell me can the Arab and Moslem exporters of oil control
the prices of oil. No, they can’t, they don’t dare to, and they
don’t even dream of doing so, since in fact this issue lies in the
American controlling hands. They are working on submitting the economy of
the world to the interest of the American economy. They are doing this
even to their ally and friend Europe. The Europeans are frequently raising
alarms. America is forcing deals from one side. It applies economic
punishment, and punishes the Europeans, Japan, Russia, and China. But in
the Arab world we don’t get punished because we don’t upset them.
I
have gathered these ideas for you to have an idea about the real identity
of this American society, this American administration, and the values,
which are ruling the American society.
What
they tell the world about democracy and human rights are nothing but lies
in order to control and rule the world, this is in regards to political
issue. The American values say that America must interfere in each country
or state (which is against the international law). The American values
tell the Americans to impose systems on people, systems that people do not
want. The American intelligence has always had the ability to organize
coups, uprisings, and changes in some of the world’s systems. It
enforced rules on people against their will. This is the democratic
country that is calling others to democracy. It is known as well that USA
was and still supporting some of the greatest autocrats in the world, and
it says it wants to spread democracy and freedom.
Let’s
take an example: the Shah system that was not present at the time of Bush,
it was present at the time of Carter and even before. Did the Iranian
people elect the Shah or was it an autocratic royal system against their
will? The shah had an absolute power. The whole world knew that the
Americans brought in the shah with a coup against Musaddak at that time.
They brought him in against the will of the Iranians along with an
autocratic royal system. No freedom was allowed, and there were no human
rights. America defended the shah up till the last moment, why? Because
America was the one who ruled Iran, while the shah was just an American
tool. The ones who ruled Iran at the time of the Shah were 60,000 American
experts and consultants. They controlled the army, economy, oil,
education, media, radio and television, and all the documents confirm
these issues.
.
We
know that at present all the elected autocratic systems in the world are
supported, and protected by the USA because they are under their control
and apply their interest. So the issue is an issue of money and power and
not an issue of democracy, freedom, and human rights. The country whose
system submits to the American policy and declares its willingness to
serve the American interest would have enough qualifications to become
under the USA. Isn’t this is the political reality in the world? Let
someone else say otherwise. At this point I do not want to mention names
of such systems since the Arab summit is soon and we are having guests in
Lebanon after some days, and we do not want to upset anyone. This reality
shows the American political program, which is the terrorizing of the
states in the world. Anyone who does not submit to America will be placed
on the list of terrorists.
Let’s
take another example: imagine this story. Two days ago they say there was
a leak (look to how they play games). They said that the pentagon with its
greatness is informatively penetrated and that there was a leak. This leak
was done on purpose in order to converse about placing plans for nuclear
strikes against each of the following countries: Syria, Iran, Libya, North
Korea, Russia, and China. Later on the national security councillor and
the American foreign secretary start explaining and clarifying the issue
saying that America is naturally a threatened country, and that they must
have precautions and procedures, but on the other hand they do not have
any order to strike anyone with nuclear weapons. Nevertheless the message
reached its destiny informing the people of these countries that America
is ready to strike you with nuclear weapons when necessary. Is this the
American civilization Bush is asking for to be spread all over the world?
What’s America’s problem with these countries? First of all Iran has
cut relationships with America. China was meeting with America two days
ago. Bush was visiting China and Russia to meet with them. So what’s the
problem? The problem is that if these countries wanted to have independent
decisions, and did not submit to the American decisions, then it would be
enough for America to place them on the list of terrorists. This subject
does not need any more explanation in order to speak out the political
truth and the absolute American sponsorship to the raping “Israeli”
entity, supporting it politically, economically, militarily and with
media.
The
American values allow the American administration to support the
conquering and invading occupier, terrorist, and murderer (“Israel”),
yet punishes and seizes the poor tyrannized people of Palestine whose
lands have been occupied and who were dispelled from their lands. What is
Cheney doing in the region? What is Zinni doing in Palestine? It is
certain that they came to prepare for a new strike against Iraq. But what
are they doing to the Palestinians? Cheney visits Sharon, and tells Arafat
to apply Tennet’s peace plan and that he might meet with him some time
in the future (this is humiliation within itself to Arafat). Some papers
have published the peace plan of Tennet, which rules the military, and
security surrender of the Palestinians. There is not even one word of
political issues in this plan. Moreover I have begun to build up some
convincing issues about some of the aims of Cheney’s tour around the
Arab states, which is not only to discuss the Iraqi issue, but also to
convince the Arab states to completely abandon the Palestinians right for
repatriation at the summit. My information says that some Arab states are
already working on this to make it become one of the summit resolutions in
Beirut. I frankly tell you that some Arab states are preparing for such an
issue. Who wants to rule out the right for repatriation? Is it the
Palestinians? No, the Arab states are not even convinced with it, but the
Americans want this, and the people are seeking America’s satisfaction,
so why should they upset them. They see the fact that selling the right
for repatriation is imposed by reality and rationalism, and a solution
could be sought after.
The
American is most definitely working in this region for the interest of
this “Israeli” entity reaching out to the stage of erasing resisting
vocabulary out of the political dictionary, and recognizing the resistance
as terror. I consider that this is the top of the American tyranny and
ending up into being trapped by the American values. It is a time when the
occupying and assaulting tyrant becomes immune, while the resistant to
occupation becomes terrorist, and in some speeches Bush is saying that
this terrorist should not live. He says that terrorists who are defending
their rights should not be allowed to live since they spread death. Who
are these terrorists? According to Mr. Bush the resistant is a terrorist
and should not live. These are some of the American values, which we see.
I did not add anything to your information tonight. I just did a montage
by gathering this information and giving you one clear picture about the
American. These are the issues that I remembered, but there must be more.
We
do not deny that America has a great technological and scientific
development, and has a great military force, and great economy. We do not
deny that there are elections in America. But in fact the voting notes,
which fall, in the voting boxes are inked with the blood, and body pieces
of some of the people of this world. There will soon be American
elections, and in order for the Republic Party to win the elections it
must cause wars, and kill some thousands of the Iraqi poor people to
secure its winning. Each election must include our oil, blood, flesh,
dignity, destiny, and our people. Even if their elections had some
democracy than still they are filled with the smell of gunpowder, blood,
money, power, and the blood of the tyrannized people of our region.
If
there is something important for the Americans it is the money, power, and
technology. That’s all. There is no other civilization, philosophy,
values, ideologies, human ethics or virtues, passion or love… Where are
all of these? In summary I can present you a picture of this American
administration. It is a monster that is thirsty for power, thirsty for
blood, and stepping over everything. This monster is like the monsters in
the American movies, it takes the shape of a human who shaved his beard,
put on a cravat, dressed a nice suit, and wore the nicest of the perfumes.
This is the American picture that is beautiful on the outside but ugly and
mean on the inside.
After
all of this presentation I would like to reach the following conclusion.
What America has in hands today, was owned by the titans of the world
previously, but each according to the requirements of his age: Greeks,
Romans, Persians, Pharaohs in Egypt, and many more who had the might and
money, armies and techniques; each according to their requirements. For
example: the Pharaoh’s civilization was of great economic elements,
their techniques have included some puzzles, which are not solved yet.
What I want to ask is that do you have a legal right to practice all these
tyrannies on earth when you have the money and power, the armies and
techniques? Are these enough to put you in control of the world forever?
The Pharaoh was like this and has ended, and so others. Cesar was like
this and passed away. Allah almighty says: “Look to the conditions of
those before thee.” Today when we recognize the reality of these values
and the instruction of this American existence, we can stand up and say
frankly and truthfully that we may not be able to do anything, but we have
a word of right that we should speak out.
Today
the basic source of evil and terror, the central threat for the world’s
peace and economy, the basic threat for even the environment of this
world, the basic source for wars, killings, seductions, civil and regional
wars in this world is the United States of America which is claiming that
it’s defending the values of civilization and freedom, and this is the
truth. In return for this truth and this fact we as an Islamic and Arabic
nation must have our existence, values and civilization, our culture and
inheritance, our customs and habits. We must refuse this invasion, and
face it with all of what we have. It’s good to benefit from technology
since it is necessary; it is good to learn from their developed
administration if they have one since it’s wanted. But we do not need to
learn from the Americans any values, ethics, of culture since we have
these. These are our lands, countries, and they are countries with values,
ethics, basic and initial human culture and inheritance. We should never
feel for even a moment that we are lacking any of these, especially when
they talk to us about the American civilization and values.
Our
nation despite of its declines in some circumstances regarding many issues
is still a better place for living. Go to all over the Arabic and Islamic
countries and you will find that the society of the country in the worst
situation and circumstances is still holding to its instinctive human
values and ethics, and to its proper habits of dignity, honour,
generosity, and human sympathy towards other’s pains and
sufferings.
At
this point I do not want to stand up and say let’s declare war on the
USA, let’s prepare armies to invade and destroy the USA, no, this is not
my aim. I would like to say yet that they are the ones, who declared war
on us, and are invading and fighting our nation, its religion, culture,
civilization, values, oil, water, trade, interests, existence,
sovereignty, political decisions, dignity, pride and freedom.
This
nation should defend itself against this invasion. Here I am talking about
a legitimate defence by all means, and in every field whether political,
cultural, media, and social, economical or other. We can defend, resist,
and preserve our nation, its dignity, religion and values, and we should
do so. We must not weaken and surrender, we must work with trust. Here I
wish to remind you all in this present generation at this present time in
our Islamic and Arabic world that our history is full of many invasions
that came to our regions. The Moguls came to our countries, destroyed,
burned, killed, and butchered; but since our religion and nation are
great, our nation could assimilate these Mogul attacks with its various
stages. It could not defeat them militarily, but it could face them with
culture, religion and thought.
As
a result many of the Mogul kings became Moslems and they spread Islam
around the world including mid-Asia and some of the present Russian
republics. They also became defenders of Islam at some stages. Another
invaders were the crucifiers. The many crucifying armies were also faced,
opposed, defeated, and expelled out of this region. Therefore we are not
people without history or experience. We are not people whose region did
not experience such difficulties and challenges throughout the
history.
Our
history is rich with such challenges. Our nation was always able to prove
that it can assimilate such attacks, oppose the aggressors, and expel the
invaders and occupiers. This fact needed the sacrifices of men and women
who had the will and readiness to sacrifice. The defeated, surrenderor,
and the ones who are satisfied with sitting on their humiliated thrones
are not qualified to defend this nation, its dignity and values. On the
other hand there were always men and women leaders, followers, soldiers
and fighters, who had the will to carry the flag or emblem, march forward
and defeat the invaders and goons. This happened continuously, needed only
time, and sacrifices. No one should imagine that these kinds of
confrontations could be concluded within a year, two, or even ten years.
It may take one or two generations. But in the end the enemy will be
defeated and this nation will win. This is Allah’s promise to the good
and the powerless. The hands of this generation and every generation will
no doubt defeat the all those like great Pharaoh, his assistant Hâmân,
and their soldiers. But as I said it needs a firm stand, readiness,
sacrifice, and time.
From
Al Hussein (p) we learn that we may have to pay a high price in order to
triumph and may not live to see victory. We learn that the true
sacrificing people are those who offer their bloods in order for others to
live after while triumphed, with dignity and freedom. In such a manner our
lord Al Hussein (p) offered himself, his children, his family, and
companions in order to defend Islam, its teachings and values, which was
targeted by Yazeed (7) so that this religion could survive afterwards due
to his martyrdom and after his martyrdom. He did so for this nation to
keep these values and redeem its willingness, cautiousness, conscience,
courage, and refuse all the humiliation by facing Yazeed and every
Yazeedian* through history.
This
is a great lesson taught to us by our master Hussein (p). Our present
generation should not accept defeat if it is unable to achieve victory. It
must tolerate and confront, be firm and teach this type of culture to the
generation after so that it would some how find the ability of
transforming confrontation into victory. I repeat if we cannot achieve
victory we should not accept defeat or surrender.
This
is one of the great lessons, which we learn from Al Hussein (p) in Karbala, and which is needed by our nation in this age. In the end I
would like to thank Mr. Tennet, the CIA director who claimed in an article
of the press that there is no difference between the Shiite terror and the
Sunnite terror.
His
words are somehow asking the Sunnite and the Shiite to unite, just as I
said during my first speech on the first night. As you see the Americans
want the Sunnite and the Shiite to unite, and why shouldn’t we? Terror
to them is no longer defined as being that of Khomeini Shiite terror
coming from Iran, or that of Sunnite terror coming from Afghanistan and
Osama Bin Laden.
The
subject to them is now one; it is Islam and the Quraan.
They
now recognize Islam and the Quraan as the religion and book of
terror.
This
will hopefully be the final and conclusive battle, and maybe the last
battle of mankind. There is nothing left to confront this autocratic
American tyrant in controlling the world except Islam, the Islamic nation,
the Islamic cautiousness, and the Islamic civilization. The power of Islam
is inciting hundreds of millions, and changing a man into a martyrdom
lover. It is also changing a woman as we’ve seen on TV into a mother who
stands up with firmness without any trembling in her voice to encourage
her son towards offering his soul and becoming a martyr, then she becomes
happy as she receives the news of his martyrdom.
This
means that Islam never came to people as a stranger from any part of the
world. This belief, thought and ideology originated from our land here in
Mecca, Medina, and lived through our generations.
It
is thought to be the last threat to America, and that there is nothing
left beyond Islam. The Russians do not form any threat anymore they are
poor. China is crippling with one step forward and one step backwards. The
only thing that the Americans are looking at as being a real threat is
this original Islam, they see it as a giant that shook itself and began
moving, while its original aspects started to appear in the Islamic
world.
These
are conducted studies and researches and I am not analysing. On this
occasion I would like to mention that Brigenski who used to be Carter’s
national security consular, has expected besides Khomeini the collapse of
the Soviet Union. In addition Brigenski himself said: “The next century
will witness the collapse of the Capitalistic Civilization of the West.
People will start looking for an alternative to satisfy their bodies and
spiritual needs.” He added saying: “the only alternative will be
religion, and when people look around religions they will not find a
religion that can answer all their questions except the one which was
brought by a prophet named Mohammed, and that is Islam.”
Brigenski
expected more than twenty years ago that this is going to be the century
of Islam, and America is not one person who wanted to become an enemy. The
story is not Bush’s alone. The story includes associations that rule,
centres of studies, intelligence and information, these all are included
in the enemy. When America today looks at Islam as an enemy, it is because
it knows according to all of its data and information that Islam is the
real opponent to its evil autocracy, which wants to control this world,
especially the Islamic world.
The
return of the nation to its Islamic principles, and its commitment to
Islam, is hopefully the good news. If things are going in this direction,
then hopefully this will be the last war between belief and disbelief,
between good and evil, between Islam and Satan. Therefore we have to look
with hope towards the future. As I said before, from between the corpses
and the smell of blood, gunpowder and rising smoke, darkness surrounding
us, we should always look for a sun, which will rise in the future. This
sun is our foreseen holy leader Al Mahdi (8) the son of Hassan (may Allah
bring him out soon). He will come from the unknown to conclude this great
battle. This is a belief we carry and every Moslem who believes in Quraan
and its promise carries it as well.
In
the end I would like to say that each one of us should carry his
responsibilities, each father and mother, man and woman, teacher and
pupil, boy and girl. We are all concerned in this battle that is not the
battle of governments. This is the battle of people; it’s a great
responsibility, which we should all carry during the next historic and
destined stage.
May
peace be upon you my lord and master Abu Abdullah “Al Hussein” and the
spirits that are floating around your grave. I send you my adoration as
long as night follows day. I ask my dear Allah to keep me committed to
continuously visit thee. May peace be upon “Al Hussein,” Ali bin Al
Hussein, the sons of “Al Hussein,” and the followers of “Al
Hussein.”
And
may peace be upon you all.
