model, by <strong>which</strong> humanity—all <strong>of</strong> humanity—is freed from <strong>the</strong> worship <strong>of</strong> (o<strong>the</strong>r) servants<br />

for <strong>the</strong> worship <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Creator <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> servants. He alone deserves our submission and our<br />

worship and He alone deserves <strong>the</strong> sacrifices. Only this goal is able to unite <strong>the</strong> Umma and<br />

establish <strong>the</strong> giving <strong>of</strong> mutual loyalty upon a sound foundation. It only remains for us to<br />

create media information and effective (religious) propaganda so that this meaning may be<br />

conveyed to <strong>the</strong> Umma—all <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Umma—without complication beneath <strong>the</strong> shadow <strong>of</strong><br />

An important point remains regarding <strong>the</strong> subject <strong>of</strong> achieving <strong>the</strong> "power", especially<br />

group <strong>which</strong> we direct and <strong>the</strong> remaining groups and regions <strong>which</strong> give us loyalty or<br />

In <strong>the</strong> 90s <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> preceding century, one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> jihadi groups in Egypt put in place an<br />

excellent plan for action. However, it formulated its plan on <strong>the</strong> basis that <strong>the</strong> Islamic<br />

Group and <strong>the</strong> Group <strong>of</strong> Jihad would undertake specific actions that would serve <strong>the</strong> plan <strong>of</strong><br />

this small group. The leader <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> group vainly imagined that momentous events would<br />

force <strong>the</strong> two groups to act as he wished. Regrettably, however, his estimation (<strong>of</strong> his<br />

"power") was not precise. This,<br />
