God for constancy and forgiveness.
Just as the heat of a momentous event is the most favorable environment for education, it
also prompts troops of youth to join the legions of jihad day after day. Truly, every day we
see helpers for the jihad coming forth from countries in Asia, like Malaysia and Indonesia,
and from the countries of the former Soviet Union, and from a few of the cities, such as
Falluja and others. They do not know the class of the great ulama or those mores which
cause the deviation of the committed youth in some of the countries of the Arab world.
They are like a white page, their innate nature and their genuine emotion motivating them to
assist the religion. Naturally, there might be a negative effect, such as the lack of sharia
discipline. However, it is our role to fill in this gap. Thus, these youth will not abandon
jihad, by the grace of God. Innate human nature is found in them and they will respond to
direction from any model or living exemplar of jihad. Among the blessings of God to us is
that the modern models of jihad found

Around them are scientific and sharia committees of the highest level. We have only to
communicate our directions to these youth, provided that a scientific and educational
method is prepared for advancing them in action and in battle. Perhaps God will bring forth
guiding leaders for us who will be victorious by His bounty and grace.
One should note that some of these places, like Indonesia, Malaysia, and the countries of the
former Soviet Union have those with long experience [lit. “roots”] in Islamic movements
