Iraq

O mujahideen brothers in Iraq, do not be afraid of what the United States is propagating in terms of their lies about their power and their smart, laser-guided missiles... The well-camouflaged trenches and targets will not be reached by either the smart or the stupid missiles.

Under these circumstances, there will be no harm if the interests of Muslims converge with the interests of the socialists in the fight against the crusaders, despite our belief in the infidelity of socialists. (11 Feb 03)
- America has fallen into the quagmires of the Tigris
and Euphrates. Bush thought that Iraq and its oil are easy spoils. Now, he
is in a critical situation, praise be God. Today, America has started to cry
out and crumble before the entire world. (18 Oct 03)

They [the Gulf states] feared that the door would be open for bringing down dictatorial regimes by armed forces from abroad, especially after they had seen the arrest of their former comrade in treason and agentry to the United States when it ordered him to ignite the first Gulf war against Iran, which rebelled against it.

Gulf States

It has become clear that the rulers
are not qualified to apply the religion and defend the Muslims. In fact,
they have provided evidence that they are implementing the schemes of the
enemies of the nation and religion and that they are qualified to abandon
the countries and peoples. (04 Jan 04)
INTERVIEW WITH OSAMA BIN LADEN
by Jean Miller
What is the meaning of your call for Muslims to take arms against America in particular, and what is the message that you wish to send to the West in general?
The call to wage war against America was made because America has
spear-headed the crusade against the Islamic nation, sending tens of thousands
of its troops to the land of the two Holy Mosques over and above its meddling
in its affairs and its politics, and its support of the oppressive, corrupt
and tyrannical regime that is in control. These are the reasons behind the
singling out of America as a target. And not exempt of responsibility are
those Western regimes whose presence in the region offers support to the
American troops there. We know at least one reason behind the symbolic
participation of the Western forces and that is to support the Jewish and
Zionist plans for expansion of what is called the Great Israel. Surely, their
presence is not out of concern over their interests in the region. ... Their
presence has no meaning save one and that is to offer support to the Jews in
Palestine who are in need of their Christian brothers to achieve full control
over the Arab Peninsula which they intend to make an important part of the so
called Greater Israel. ...
