In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Your Excellency Khalifah bin Hamad Al-e Thani- Head of State of Qatar,
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 this great Islamic feast. Unfortunately, the arrival of this `Id ad-Duha has concurred with a time while the enemies of Islam are organizing plots and adopting strategies, which are followed by committing new type of crimes against the Muslims. The most horrendous of crimes being committed are the brutal massacre and genocide of the defenseless Muslims of Lebanon; the dishonoring of the girls and women; the horrific killings of children and even of ailing Muslim refugees. More unfortunate is that many of the heads of State of Islamic countries, instead of countering the savage actions and preventing the merciless killings, are granting officially recognition to- usurper Israel- the organizers of such crimes. They instead of 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 afraid of hearing the slogan" 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»
