Now I am the amir of al-Qaida’s al-Jihad, better known – indeed, known everywhere on Earth – as al-Qaida. This comes at the right time. I have just completed my 60th year – still young enough to think clearly and strategically, yet old enough to fully comprehend that I will not live forever and that it is truly blessed to die a martyr’s death as did my friend and leader, Sheikh Osama bin Laden, may he rest in peace.
I have waged jihad against the disbelievers for a long time. I joined the Muslim Brotherhood when I was 14. A child of privilege, I could have led an easy life. My skills as a surgeon could have been put to use healing the elite of Cairo. I chose, instead, to be a Knight under the Prophet’s banner. I have never regretted that decision, al-Hamdu Lillah.
In 1981, when I was half the age I am now, I brought justice to Anwar al-Sadat. He had betrayed the Islamic nation by making peace with the accursed Jews. Death to any swine who even considers following his example! Exactly 20 years after that, Sheikh bin Laden and I brought justice to thousands of Crusaders and Zionists, arrogant Americans who thought they were safe in their steel towers – safe to plot and steal from the Muslims.
The Americans are accustomed to soft beds and decadent pleasures. But their economy is crumbling – as is their will to fight, insha’Allah. With the passing of bin Laden they will be eager to declare their mission in Afghanistan accomplished and fly away.
The woodworm has begun to eat the idol, though Americans do not yet yearn for the sweet relief of surrender as the Europeans do. The Europeans, in a time of war, are disarming. When in history has that happened before? They can’t even defeat that jackal, Kaddafi! In this we can see the hand of Allah, may peace be upon him.
I now have great decisions to make. It is for me to wield the sword of Islam, to avenge the death of Sheikh bin Laden and demonstrate that I deserve the honor that has been bestowed upon me. Under my leadership, al-Qaida must again strike the snake. Bringing down the Twin Towers in 2001, and collapsing the walls of the American embassies in Nairobi and Dar el Salam in 1998 – in these battles we hurt America as no one else has, ever in history. Allah hu akbar!
But such battles are difficult to organize now. Resources are not as accessible as they were. Many of our most dedicated jihadis have been martyred by the missiles fired from the drones that fly in the skies above us like vultures.
Our brothers in the Lashkar-e-Taiba have provided a useful model. The Battle of Mumbai was fought according to a simple plan and with simple weapons. Yet our victory over the Hindu usurpers of Kashmir and the Jews and the Christians who dwelt among them was no less glorious. I must deliberate carefully.
It also is imperative to send a message to the Arabs who are rising against the traitor-despots and Muslim Zionists of the Middle East. The Muslim Brothers are increasingly taking control in Egypt. But many are timid. They form alliances with military secularists who employ religious scholars to justify their acts. This can only produce confusion in the minds of Muslim young men. The ideology of Jihad should rest only and purely on loyalty to Allah’s religion, and to its practical implementation.
Which brings to mind the guardians of the Muslims in Tehran, the Shia, the Persians who are growing ever more powerful. The followers of Khomeini will help us – until they hurt us. They are our allies – until they are not. They despise the Crusaders and Zionists no less than we do. They assist our Taliban brothers. They shelter our families. They extend a hand in friendship. I extend my hand to them in return. But never would I turn my back on them. It is easy to guard against wolves. It is more difficult to guard against foxes.
The global jihad has reached a critical stage. The will of Allah – may He be praised and Whom we thank for the good and the bad that befalls us – is clear: Jihad shall continue until the infidels submit, once and for all time, and the Muslim nation shall rise again and be restored to power and glory, as it was in the time of the Prophet, may peace be upon Him!
