meaning <strong>the</strong> harmful things <strong>which</strong> are believed to be <strong>the</strong> results <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> jihad, <strong>which</strong> are in<br />
reality from <strong>the</strong> actions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> criminals and <strong>the</strong> duty <strong>of</strong> jihad is in no way to be blamed.<br />
— As for <strong>the</strong> peace movements, <strong>the</strong>ir abandonment <strong>of</strong> jihad and <strong>the</strong>ir inciting <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Umma<br />
to abandon jihad is one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>most</strong> important reasons for <strong>the</strong> descent <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> punishment <strong>of</strong><br />
God upon <strong>the</strong> Umma, whe<strong>the</strong>r by giving some <strong>of</strong> us power over o<strong>the</strong>rs – on account <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
non-victory <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> religion—or by giving power to <strong>the</strong> enemies <strong>of</strong> God and sending <strong>the</strong>m<br />
against us or something else from among <strong>the</strong> disasters <strong>which</strong> God sends down, such as<br />
earthquakes and <strong>the</strong> like.<br />
It is strange that <strong>the</strong>se peaceful Islamic movements scorn putting <strong>the</strong>ir hands in <strong>the</strong> hands <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> people <strong>of</strong> tawhid and jihad. They point to <strong>the</strong>ir [<strong>the</strong> people <strong>of</strong> jihad’s] war and <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
extermination as pro<strong>of</strong> that <strong>the</strong>y are <strong>the</strong> cause <strong>of</strong> death for <strong>the</strong> Umma—as <strong>the</strong>y claimed—<br />
while <strong>the</strong>y have no qualms about putting <strong>the</strong>ir hands in those <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> sects, factions, political<br />
parties, and Christians who commit <strong>the</strong> <strong>most</strong> abominable and vile massacres. They know<br />
that those people consider those who commit massacres as nationalist heroes (!)<br />
[105]<br />
in <strong>the</strong>ir history, "al-Mujid”, whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>y were a party or a state. These Islamic movements<br />
have no qualms about uniting with, living with, conversing with, meeting with, and<br />
exchanging smiles with anyone who shed <strong>the</strong> blood <strong>of</strong> Muslims, 29 while <strong>the</strong>y do <strong>the</strong> opposite<br />
29 When <strong>the</strong> jihad was ignited in Egypt in <strong>the</strong> beginning <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 90s <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> previous century, <strong>the</strong><br />
Brethren joined with Shenuda, leader <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Orthodox sect, <strong>the</strong> largest <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Christian sects in Egypt, who<br />
had previously recorded tapes distributed among <strong>the</strong> Christians in <strong>which</strong> he flagrantly cursed <strong>the</strong><br />
Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). And it was proven that in <strong>the</strong> 70s he used to ga<strong>the</strong>r weapons<br />
and direct conspiracies, like what happened in al-Zawiya al-Hamra’ and what followed. Likewise, before<br />
meeting with <strong>the</strong> Brethren directly, he plainly spoke evil <strong>of</strong> our religion, ridiculing some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> laws <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
sharia <strong>which</strong> decree “not giving allegiance to a nonbeliever". He also maintained that it is impossible to<br />
apply <strong>the</strong> sharia in Egypt on account <strong>of</strong> his rejection <strong>of</strong> that law, so that <strong>the</strong> Christians would not become<br />
second-class citizens. I say that <strong>the</strong> Brethren joined with this criminal in order to condemn terrorism.
