Allah ordered us in this religion to purify Muslim land of all non-believers, and especially the Arabian peninsula where the Ke’ba is. After WWII, the Americans became more aggressive and oppressive, especially in the Muslim world . . . we believe that the biggest thieves and terrorists in the world are the Americans.

It is a fundamental principle of any democracy that the people choose their leaders, and as such, approve and are party to the actions of their elected leaders. . ..

This is why the American people are not innocent. The American people are active members in all these crimes.

The near-term plan consists of targeting Crusader-Jewish interests, as everyone who attacks the Muslim Ummah must pay the price, in our country and theirs, in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine and Somalia, and everywhere we are able to strike their interests. . .. And the long-term plan is divided into two halves: The first half consists of earnest, diligent work, to change these corrupt and corruptive regimes. . .. As for the second half of the long-term plan, it consists of hurrying to the fields of jihad like Afghanistan, Iraq and Somalia, for jihad preparation and training. Thus, it is a must to hurry to the fields of jihad for two reasons: The first is to defeat the enemies of the Ummah and repel the Zionist Crusade, and the second is for jihadi preparation and training to prepare for the next stage of the jihad.
