same path and (<strong>the</strong> same) <strong>stage</strong>s <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> remaining, secondary states. We beseech God to<br />

make it so and grant <strong>the</strong> fortitude necessary to carry it out.<br />

Important note: When I say, “<strong>the</strong> Yemen”, for example, and I put <strong>the</strong> word “region” in<br />

front <strong>of</strong> it, I mean an area that is not limited to <strong>the</strong> borders (set by) <strong>the</strong> United Nations, since<br />

<strong>the</strong> mujahids move with freedom within <strong>the</strong> borders <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Yemen, <strong>the</strong> Hijaz, and Oman.<br />

And when I say “regions” or “<strong>the</strong> region <strong>of</strong> <strong>savagery</strong>”, I do not mean <strong>the</strong> entire region.<br />

Ra<strong>the</strong>r, <strong>the</strong> region <strong>of</strong> <strong>savagery</strong> is usually a city, or a village, or two cities, or a district, or part<br />

<strong>of</strong> a large city.<br />

Factors Considered When Selecting Countries<br />

- The presence <strong>of</strong> geographical depth and topography permits, in each separate state, <strong>the</strong><br />

establishment <strong>of</strong> regions in it <strong>which</strong> are managed by <strong>the</strong> regime <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> administration <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>savagery</strong>.<br />

- The weakness <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ruling regime and <strong>the</strong> weakness <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> centralization <strong>of</strong> its power in<br />

<strong>the</strong> peripheries <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> borders <strong>of</strong> its state and sometimes in internal regions, particularly<br />

those that are overcrowded.<br />

- The presence <strong>of</strong> jihadi, Islamic expansion being propagated in <strong>the</strong>se regions.<br />

- The nature <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> people in <strong>the</strong>se regions. This is a matter in <strong>which</strong> God has given<br />

preference to one place over ano<strong>the</strong>r.<br />

- Likewise, <strong>the</strong> distribution <strong>of</strong> weapons by people who are in those regions.
