opposition, we expect (to see) the appearance of groups among the masses or among the
movements who will not exchange loyalty with the jihadi movement on account of the
disunion that exists in the Umma, the widespread ignorance, and differences that are present
in the theatre (of operations and battle). They only confront the enemy for the sake of
acquiring specific things or so that the enemy will leave them alone, and so forth, especially
since they have refrained from declaring loyalty to the High Command in order to ensure
that the enemy will not concentrate its pressure and operations upon them.
If that stage confronts us, our role—even if we were originally striving to unite the Umma
under a single banner—is to spread awareness among the classes of people of the Umma as
to the importance of uniting goals and methods and exchanging loyalty because this is the
way that causes the enemy to fear us, since he will not be able to isolate us and we will be
able to achieve the goals we desire. When our goals are united, the groups will be united and
our power will be more firmly established and have a greater effect and change reality for the
better (by the permission of God), especially since this will be in opposition to classes of
people among the enemy whose goals differ from each other.
The goal which we created for the sake of the people and which we must all strive toward
and which contain the good of this world and of the next must be conveyed to the people—
all of the people—in a simple form, free from complication and prolixity. There is no value
for any effort or sacrifices we will offer in opposition to the Crusader or Zionist enemy or
the apostate if the goal which is to be attained from these (efforts) is meager or of
temporary, limited benefit. Or worse, we submit our souls and our abilities to a new Taghut
in the form of an individual, a group, or a new constitution that is not based on the divine
