The Great Satan vis-a-vis the Muslim nations

How lucky you are that you could make pilgrimage to the Holy Mecca, the center for Revelation, and to the Illuminated Medina, the center of in Prophet-hood. May God approve of your pilgrimage. «1» We are brothers of all Muslim nations. We shall share their joys and sorrows. Today our nation is facing a huge satanic superpower. These foreigners have illegitimately dominated the nations, Muslim nations and the eastern nations in general for the last three centuries. And more recently, in the last fifty years they committed all sorts of crimes through Rida Khan Pahlavi and his son Muhammad-Rida. Their crimes, however, have reached their climax in recent times. Of course, the main supporter of these crimes was the United States. The magnitude of their crime was beyond the tolerance of our nation, however. Then our nation, relying on Allah and Islam, staged a revolution against the corrupt structure of the kingdom, illegitimate, and established the Islamic Republic of Iran, instead. While we are engaged in the restructuring of the ruins imposed on us by foreigners and their agents, we have to face the hegemony of the United States. We hope that our brother nations, who have been subject to innumerable cases of injustice and despotism by the satanic powers, will carry out a similar revolution. We are happy to know that Pakistan has already started such a movement. Now that I glanced at a newspaper, I found out that the Pakistani nation has risen against the United States, and the universities have been closed down for three days. This is good news for our nation since we feel we are not alone in our endeavors.

The impotence of the superpowers vis-a-vis the united Muslims

The Muslims of the world should unite. They should work together. They should not divide. They should not consider the borders as the separation of hearts. The borders are separate, but the hearts should be united. Muslims are strong and have a lot of potentials. They also possess lots of resources. Muslims are one billion. They can stay united. They can produce a huge power. Because they are rich in resources, they would need nobody's assistance. Rather, other countries would need Muslims' assistance. Unfortunately, due to viscous indoctrinations people are conditioned to fear the superpowers throughout the history. Propaganda was launched by the super power to make our and your nation feel fear of them. We led to the belief that these superpowers are invulnerable and if any nation raises a voice against them, it would be demolished by them. But we have found the contrary to this propaganda. We have realized that superpowers could not play with destiny country if the nation got united. In God we will trust. On Islam we will rely. Islam and God will protect us against evils. We hope all Islamic nations will join us in this endeavor.

The fate of the world of Islam

The struggle between us and the United States is in fact the conflict between us and America but struggle between Islam and disbelief. If they defeated us, which is very improbable, they would have defeat Islam and the Muslims. All Muslims should realize this is not the merely our destiny which is at stake and facing a risk of annihilation or survival. The destiny of Islam is the destiny of all the Muslims. All Muslims should contribute to this issue. If God forbidding this movement slows down or gets ruined, it could be lead to the annihilation of the entire East and particularly the Islam's fate is the fate of all Muslims. All Muslims should care about their fate. If our movement showed any signs of deterioration, the entire east, especially Muslims, would suffer. I urge all the Muslims, all Islamic armies, all Islamic armed forces, all the presidents of the Muslim countries to cooperate to go together with our movement and cooperate with us in the struggle between Islam and disbelief, not only between Iran and America. This is the struggle between entire disbelief and the whole of Islam. Muslims should up rise and get success in this struggle and they will definitely succeed. They should not be frightened away by empty boasts. They should not fear the United States simply because it is a super power. They should not be intimidated that America is a satanic power which could wipe out everything in a single day". These are nonsense. The United States is unable to do such a thing.

Urging the Islamic ummah to up rise

The United States could not challenge the Muslim nations. The world is now concerned by this struggle. World is keen interested to see that what will happen with this struggle. The discords have been occurred in the United States of America. There are some discords going on within the United States. The Black form Americans, who have been subject to the hegemonies of the United States for long, are now with us. They might even up rise. At such a critical moment, when we are struggling against the devilish conspiracies of the United States, Muslims should cooperate with us. They should consider us a friend of the Muslim world including Pakistan, Iraq and Indonesia. Let them all uprise. They should all oppose this man's «2» tyrannies against us.
The United States now is harboring a criminal «3» who has been involved in numerous cases of manslaughter in Iran, who had made the cobble stones of our city streets stained with our youth's blood, and who has plundered our wealth and deposited them in foreign banks. It is stipulated in the universal criminal laws that a criminal should be tried in where he has committed his crimes. Their stimulus for keeping such a criminal seems to be childish. Now that we are asking for that criminal, they intimidate us with their navy at the Persian Gulf or with their warplanes in our skies. What are we afraid of? Are we intimidated by their warplanes? Are we afraid of their fleet?

Cautioning the United States

We are among those who are fond of martyrdom and consider it as salvation. Now my nation insists that I pray for them to get martyred. What is a nation who is fond of martyrdom frightened by? Do they frighten them by death? These people consider martyrdom as their honor. Then they are frightening us of death! Death will frighten those who do not believe in the Unseen. What should a person who fears God be afraid of; who he is aware of the Doom's Day, who he believes in the Unseen. The United States is making a mistake. Carter, too, is making a mistake when he is obsessed the illusion that he may carry out such a mischievous act. The world would not let him do such an act. The American nation will stop him. Is it an easy task for the United States to come over here and massacre our nation? They cannot. Even if they engage in such an act of tyranny, they will face our nation's ferocity. Our youths now have announced that they would explode the embassy with those who are in if Americans take any obnoxious action against Iran. These youths, who have always been subject to all sorts of hegemonies, are out of our control. Neither could we control a nation whose members have always been subject to injustice for the last fifty years, especially during the last thirty-five years of the Pahlavi Dynasty. Let the Americans send their paratroopers to Iran and see the consequences then. We will exterminate all of them. We, too, might get killed. However, they will be killed, as well.

Iran's failure is the failure of the East

Please send my greetings to your army and to Mr. Diya' al-Haqq. «4» Tell them for me that their brethren in Iran are now fighting (the forces) disbelief. You should rise. The Pakistani army should rise against such a tyranny to which the Iranians are subject now. We have risen against injustice. This will have a tremendous effect on your fate as well. You should not assume that you will remain intact if we lose this battle. If Iran is defeated, the east is the loser, too. It is the defeat of the oppressed classes of the society. We should remain united. We should terminate the viscous deeds of this den of iniquity. We would like to expel them at least from our country so that they would never appoint their army advisors here and be permitted to convert their embassy into a center for espionage.
May God give you good health. May God strengthen Islam and the Muslim armies. And may God save those Muslim leaders who are after the interests of Muslims.
