| Text of the letter to Zarqawi |
| 2005-05-04 |
| To the sheik Abu Ahmed, may God keep him: (Quranic verses) I advise myself first and then advise you to fear God in private as in public and that you don't worry about blame from anyone. I urge you that you let nothing stop you from jihad (holy war) for the sake of God ... and that you take refuge in God in all situations, in easy times and in difficult ones. .... The Islamic nation is waiting for the establishment of an Islamic state that rules by God's laws and carries out his punishments and is waiting for the men who can protect its honor, which is being violated every day. This is the path, but where are the men? We ask God to guide them. What has happened to me (and to?) my brothers is an unforgivable crime. ... By God, the one and only God, you (will?) ask about what happened to us, because you didn't ask about the situation of the immigrants. ... But morale is weakening and there is (unclear word: either "exhaustion" or "confusion") among the ranks of the mujahedeen, and some of the brother emirs are discriminating among them. God does not accept such actions. ... What happened is that he (not identified in the text) said: 'Either you carry out a martyrdom operation or you go back home.' We were told that there is an order from the sheik (presumably al-Zarqawi) for us to return. Some of the brothers have returned. Others have signed up to become martyrs. Still others were waiting for God's comfort, but this came after humiliation and rude treatment and many other things. Who can tolerate all this? ... There are brothers that are oppressed, brothers that are persecuted and brothers that are helplessly jailed with no one to meet with them or to ask about them. The situation is not the way it used to be in Fallujah, when you used to come and visit us and we used to enjoy sitting with you. The situation has completely changed. Thanks be to God for everything. The most important thing, oh sheik, is that you are there and that you remain a thorn in the mouths of the Americans and a thorn in the mouths of the apostates. May God keep you. The most important thing is that you don't hear from (only) one side, even if it were the closest person to you. Hear from all sides so that the truth can become clear to you. We have found emirs who are not fit for leadership. We are not the ones who can determine who is fit and who isn't, but we are witnesses of God's people and we are the ones who have experienced and know them. ... Oh sheik, test those who are below you. Some of them are ... oppressors and some of them are not so. This is my last request: to meet you, because there are many things that are secret and the truth is that I no longer trust any person who says that he is coming from the sheik's side. We are tired and we have suffered a lot. Thanks be to God. I ask the great God, the honorable God of the throne, to make his religion victorious and to raise his word and to strengthen his worshippers, the mujahedeen, everywhere and to humiliate all kinds of disbelief in God and to destroy America and its supporters soon without delay.

| #7 ''The situation is not the way it used to be in Fallujah, when you used to come and visit us and we used to enjoy sitting with you.'' I think this verse right here should be posted on the wall of leadership in Washington on proof positive on why you dont fight war with boarders and never allow your enemy to have a safe place were he can rally. The best thing I heard when this war started was Bush ''We will attack the terrorist and all who support or aid the terrorist anywere they are'' Not exact quote but general point and that is how you win a war you kill and chase the enemy anywere everywere. When from day one you have to hide 24/7 like a roach and the meeting place always is chagin the last one got busted the faces always changing some dead some surrendered some captured and ratting makes a dangerous immoralizing feeling when you never know who is going to rat you out or who you can trust will the place I layed down last night be safe today. 24/7 pressure unlimited and the terrorist is feeling the heat. I tell you what it sure sucks when you jump on a paper tiger to only find out that the paper tiger was really a Lion the size of a elephant with bear claws rhino skin and porkupine stickers all over it that loves to eat those who attack it. |

| #6 The situation is not the way it used to be in Fallujah, when you used to come and visit us and we used to enjoy sitting with you. The situation has completely changed. Now, you dont even call, dudele. Would it be so hard to call, maybe once a week? I mean I know you're very busy, and don't have time for your old liebling, but maybe you could have rachmanes for a sick, old person? Ach, I never should have moved to Miami. Thanks be to God for everything. Still, I dont complain. Not me. If youve got youre health, youve got everything, right? Oy, but my leg is killing me. But I shouldnt go on, I know how BUSY you are, sweetie. But maybe you could call, no? |

| #3 It seems to indicate alot of problems. Disappointed jihadi syndrome is just around the corner for the letter's author unless he was already capped. |

| #2 al-Yemeni you say? From the Basra al-Yemenis? When Iraq becomes the premier middle eastern power, there is going to a day of reckoning for those countries that sent all those suicide bombers and head choppers. |

| #1 The most important thing, oh sheik, is that you are there and that you remain a thorn in the mouths of the Americans and a thorn in the mouths of the apostates. I heard news reports yesterday where they said that this line was praise for Zarqawi's continuing efforts, but it reads to me like an admonition from someone who has doubts. Especially when followed by this line: The most important thing is that you don’t hear from (only) one side, even if it were the closest person to you. Hear from all sides so that the truth can become clear to you. Sounds like he's disappointed with Zarqawi and asking him to step it up. |
