In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Your Excellency Rashid Bin Sa`id Al-e Maktoum, the Deputy Head of State of the United `Arab Emirates and the Emir of Dubai,
I received with thanks the telegraph of your Excellency on the auspicious occasion of `Id ad-Duha. Reciprocally, I congratulate your Excellency and the Muslim nation of your state on the great Islamic feast. Unfortunately, the arrival of this `Id ad-Duha has concurred with a certain time while the Muslims of the World are facing various grieves. The plots designed by the opponents are being implemented and as consequences bring sorrows, the most horrendous crimes being committed are; genocide of the defenseless Muslims of Lebanon; the degrading and dishonoring of the girls and women. More unfortunate is that many of the heads of Islamic States, instead of countering the savage actions and preventing the merciless killings, are granting officially recognition to- usurper Israel- the organizers of these crimes. They, instead of restricting or eliminating the relations, are expanding their ties with brutal America, which is the major mastermind of criminal and savages type of plans and actions. They have not only resigned themselves to a deadly silence but also they are even afraid of hearing of the slogan of" Down with Israel and America" and strictly ban it." Verily, to God do we belong and unto Him is our return." «1»" And the unjust oppressors shall soon come to know that to which place their return to is." «2»
