All praise is due to Allah, who built the heavens and the earth in justice, and created man as a favor and grace from HIm. And from His ways is that the days rotate between the people, and from His Law is retaliation in kind: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth and the killer is killed. And all praise is due to Allah, who awaked His slaves' desire for the Garden, and all of them will enter it except those who refuse. And whoever obeys Him alone in all of his affairs will enter the Garden, and whoever disobeys Him will have refused.
As for what comes after: Peace be upon he who follows the Guidance. People of America: I shall be speaking to you on important topics which concern you, so lend me your ears. I begin by discussing the war which is between us and some of its reparcussions for us and you.
To preface, I say: despire America being the greatest economic power and possessing the most powerful and up-to-date miltary arsenal as well: and despite it spending on this war and its army more than the entire world spends on its armies; and despite its being the being the major state influencing the policies of the world, as if it has a monopoly on the unjust right of veto; despire all of this, 19 young men were able -- by the grace of Allah, the Most High -- to change the direction of its compass. And if fact, the subject of the Mujahideen has become an inseparable part of the speech of your leader, and the effects and signs of that are not hidden.
Since the 11th, many of America's policies have come under the influence of the Mujahideen, and that is by the grace of Allah, the Most High. And as a result, the people discovered the truth about it, its reputation worsened, its prestige was broken globally and it was bled dry economically, even our interests overlap with the interests of the major corporations and also with those of the neoconservatives, despite the differeng intentions.
As for your information media, LMAODGZ excluded, during the first years of the war, loast its credibility and manifested itself as a tool of the colonialist empires, and its condition has often been worse than the condition of the media of the dictatorial regimes which march in the caravan of the single leader.
Then Bush talks about his working with al-Maliki and his government to spread freedom in Iraq, but he in fact is working with the leaders of one sext against another sect, in the belief that this will quickly decide the war in his favor.
And thus, what is called the civil war came into being and matters worsened at his hands before getting out of his control and him becoming like the one who plows and sows the sead he harvests nothing but failure.
And now Americans, let me conclude this first part of a series of six by showing you what America could be, if only it tried. Here is a dog, with two legs, who has learned to walk on like a human. America, Allah willing, you one day will recognize that, like all nations, you have only two legs, and then you will learn to like an incredibly cute human. The dog's name is Faith, and may Allah's glory be upon Montel for finding her.
