<strong>which</strong> political, Islamic, economic, sharia, and technical institutions are established, and so<br />

forth. After that, <strong>the</strong> rapid strike <strong>will</strong> be carried out <strong>through</strong> <strong>the</strong>se institutions. Some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

foolish people say that our sons <strong>will</strong> carry out <strong>the</strong> strike and not us. I have no idea how <strong>the</strong><br />

sons <strong>will</strong> fight while <strong>the</strong>ir fa<strong>the</strong>rs are in this condition! The meaning (<strong>of</strong> all <strong>of</strong> this) [what<br />

follows is quote from `Umar Mahmud Abu `Umar]: “First, we must know that <strong>the</strong> massive,<br />

enormous victory is a combination <strong>of</strong> a series <strong>of</strong> smaller victories. There cannot be anything<br />

that happens in <strong>the</strong> field <strong>of</strong> victory and defeat <strong>which</strong> <strong>will</strong> suddenly produce a victor or<br />

defeated person, because <strong>the</strong> unprecedented upturn only exists in <strong>the</strong> minds <strong>of</strong> our shaykhs<br />

and our leaders. They cherish, in everything that <strong>the</strong>y say and plan, (<strong>the</strong> hope <strong>of</strong>) a single<br />

strike for <strong>which</strong> a single preparation may be made, far from <strong>the</strong> eyes <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> adversaries and<br />

preparation. This idea has found an echo and acceptance in <strong>the</strong> souls because it is very<br />

beautiful and very thrilling and very rosy. In addition to that, it is very, very cheery. As for it<br />

being beautiful and rosy, how can it not be so when it <strong>of</strong>fers to <strong>the</strong> Islamists victory, power,<br />

and sovereignty like a rose? How can it not be rosy when it comes from <strong>the</strong> illusions <strong>of</strong><br />

dreamers? When <strong>the</strong> dream in one's mind differs with reality, one does not enter into debate<br />

with rational and intelligent people.<br />

We dream <strong>of</strong> a very exalted arrangement for "<strong>the</strong> power establishing an Islamic state"<br />

without <strong>pass</strong>ing <strong>through</strong> “<strong>the</strong> power <strong>of</strong> vexation”, <strong>which</strong> is <strong>the</strong> <strong>stage</strong> described in <strong>the</strong> verses<br />

"if you are suffering, <strong>the</strong>y are also suffering as you are suffering" (Qur'an 4:104) and "<strong>the</strong>y<br />

fight in <strong>the</strong> way <strong>of</strong> God; <strong>the</strong>y kill, and are killed" (Qur'an 4:111). This is not possible. It is a
