Whereas, terrorizing oppressors and criminals and
thieves and robbers is necessary for the safety of people and for the
protection of their property. There is no doubt in this. Every state
and every civilization and culture has to resort to terrorism under
certain circumstances for the purpose of abolishing tyranny and
corruption. Every country in the world has its own security system and
its own security forces, its own police and its own army. They are all
designed to terrorize whoever even contemplates to attack that country
or its citizens. The terrorism we practice is of the commendable kind
for it is directed at the tyrants and the aggressors and the enemies
of Allah, the tyrants, the traitors who commit acts of treason against
their own countries and their own faith and their own prophet and
their own nation. Terrorizing those and punishing them are necessary
measures to straighten things and to make them right. Tyrants and
oppressors who subject the Arab nation to aggression ought to be
punished. The wrongs and the crimes committed against the Muslim
nation are far greater than can be covered by this interview. America
heads the list of aggressors against Muslims. The recurrence of
aggression against Muslims everywhere is proof enough. For over half a
century, Muslims in Palestine have been slaughtered and assaulted and
robbed of their honor and of their property. Their houses have been
blasted, their crops destroyed. And the strange thing is that any act
on their part to avenge themselves or to lift the injustice befalling
them causes great agitation in the United Nations which hastens to
call for an emergency meeting only to convict the victim and to
censure the wronged and the tyrannized whose children have been killed
and whose crops have been destroyed and whose farms have been
pulverized. ...
In today's wars, there are no morals, and it is clear that mankind
has descended to the lowest degrees of decadence and oppression. They
rip us of our wealth and of our resources and of our oil. Our religion
is under attack. They kill and murder our brothers. They compromise
our honor and our dignity and dare we utter a single word of protest
against the injustice, we are called terrorists. This is compounded
injustice. And the United Nations insistence to convict the victims
and support the aggressors constitutes a serious precedence which
shows the extent of injustice that has been allowed to take root in
this land. ...

What is your relationship with the Islamic movements in various
regions of the world like Chechnya and Kashmir and other Arab
countries?
Cooperation for the sake of truth and righteousness is demanded
from Muslims. A Muslim should do his utmost to cooperate with his
fellow Muslims. But Allah says of cooperation that it is not absolute
for there is cooperation to do good, and there is cooperation to
commit aggression and act unjustly. A Muslim is supposed to give his
fellow Muslim guidance and support. He (Allah) said "Stand by your
brother be he oppressor or oppressed." When asked how were they to
stand by him if he were the oppressor, He answered them, saying "by
giving him guidance and counsel." It all goes to say that Muslims
should cooperate with one another and should be supportive of one
another, and they should promote righteousness and mercy. They should
all unite in the fight against polytheism and they should pool all
their resources and their energy to fight the Americans and the
Zionists and those with them. They should, however, avoid side fronts
and rise over the small problems for these are less detrimental. Their
fight should be directed against unbelief and unbelievers. ...
