Onscreen Title: "In the name of Allah the Merciful, the Compassionate. We are the army of Allah."
Sheikh Abu Yahya Al-Libbi: "The Muslims have the right to rejoice on this day. But, brothers in faith, how can we be happy? How can we be joyous? How can we be cheerful? How can happiness possibly enter our hearts when we watch our nation being torn apart by the spears of the criminals, and being slashed by the swords of the infidels, in the east and the west.
 "Brother in Islam, let us go over the entire world. Let us look at the condition of the Muslims in Palestine. Let us see the condition of the Muslims in Palestine, the land of the Prophet Muhammad's nocturnal journey, where a martyr falls every day, where a prisoner is captured every day, where houses are demolished and women arrested every day. Oh brother in Islam, this is Palestine, the heart of Islam.
| Ah, the Land of Paleostine, where Moose limb culture is in full flower, where Dire Revenge™ is the highest of values, where people are dragged from courtrooms and executed in the streets, where the Fearless Lions of Islam™ venture forth to slaughter 4-year-olds in their beds... |
"Who are those who desecrate it? Who have taken control over it? Who are those who torment its people so severely? Those who were 'smitten with humiliation and misery,' and 'incurred the wrath of Allah.' They are the offspring of the apes and the pigs. They are the ones who are tormenting our brothers there.
| Somehow those Jews just keep thumping the Lions of Islam™. When attacked by multiple Arab armies they treacherously defeat them on the field of battle, refusing to be driven into the sea. When confronted with the Arabs' brilliant negotiators they perfidiously expect them to adhere to their agreements. When attacked by stealth and deception they counterattack. They despoil the very deserts, the trademark of the Arab, making them bloom. Oh, the humiliation! Oh, the perfidy! |
"Let us look at our brothers in Iraq and in Afghanistan, where the infidel Crusader forces have brought their cavalry and infantry. They are destroying their homes, killing their sons, and arresting their elderly and their women, with whom they are filling their prisons in Abu Ghureib, Bagram, Qandahar, and Guantanamo.
 | There the Lions of Islam™ show at their very best, kidnapping men, women, and children. It's in Iraq that they can film themselves waving guns and cutting people's heads off. It's there that they can briefly take over entire cities, havens where they can set fire to captured corpses, beat women, force men to adhere to their Islamic standards, maintain their torture chambers and their bomb factories. And then, when they're feeling comfortable, it's there that they can make their Glorious Arab Stand™ against the inifdel Crusaders™, who shoot them down like dogs. |
"The first signs of victory have begun to appear on the horizon, in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, and Chechnya.
 | "Yes, brethren and sistern! In Iraq they have their own government, elected by The Masses™. And in Afghanistan they have their own government, elected by The Masses™. In Paleostine Yasser is stable forevermore, gangs of hard boyz rule the streets, and elections resemble riots. And in Chechnya, Mashkadov is dead, Khattab is dead, al-Walid is dead, and Shamil continues the fine tradition of Islamic warfare by taking civilians hostage and slaughtering children. What pride the Moumineen must feel! |
"Indeed, the price of victory is steep, and we pay it with our blood, and with our body parts, with our homes, our fields, and our crops.
 "We pay the price with our children, whom we raise up to be thrown away in Glorious Jihad™ without ever having made any contribution to human society. We pay the price with our societies, which remain brutal and primitive, even midieval, while the rest of the world embraces the rights of the individual and the comforts of prosperity. The only field where we can compete is in force of arms and we're not very good at that!" |
"But what lies in the future, oh Muslims? There will be glory for those who want it. There will be victory for those who seek it. There will be freedom for those who desire it.
 "It will be an Islamic freedom, something not recognizable as freedom to those not in the Islamic club. It will be the freedom of the Ummah to dispose of its members as it pleases, the freedom of the Caliph to rule Believers™ and Unbelievers alike with an iron fist. It will be the freedom to extend the glories of Islam — the exquisite architecture surrounded by the squalor and filth, disease and brutality that are characteristic of our world!" |
"Victory is inevitable, in spite of the infidels, the apostates, and the hypocrites. America's nose will be rubbed in the mud. America will be humiliated just like the empires before it.
 "All they have to do is let us do it, brethren and sistern! Even now their rulers are more concerned with our rights than with their citizens' safety, with their own careers than with their children's survival! In time they will crumble, as they have crumbled over and over in the past, until the Flag of Islam™ flies over the White House. The justice of the Caliph and his Grand Vizir will replace their courts! The rule of imams and qazis and muftis will replace the governance of their Congress! Today's "liberated" American women are tomorrow's dancing girls, sexual playthings for the Lions of Islam™! Today's game-playing American youth are tomorrow's janissaries! The riches of America are there for the picking because they're too lazy to defend them! |
"This is the religion of Allah, of the one and only. When He desires something, He says 'become' and it comes into being. So what reason do we have to despair or be afraid? We have only two options: either we live a life of pride and strength in our religion and on our land, doing whatever we want, and worshipping our God as He ordered us, or else we are destined to Paradise."
According to http://www.alarabiya.net/Articles/2005/12/19/19613.htm , Sheikh Yahya Al-Libbi, as well as Yunis Al-Sahrawi (Yunis of the desert), are aliases used by Muhammad Hassan Qayed. The report also named fellow escapees, including Kuwaiti Mahmoud Ahmad Muhammad (aka Momar Al-Farouq), who is an important figure in Al-Qaeda; Syrian Abdallah Hashemi; and Saudi Muhammad al-Qahtani. Qayed studied religious law in Mauritania. Last month he sent a letter to Abu Mussab Al-Zarqawi that was published on the Internet. |
