Ibn Awwad’s Lecture on Al Qaeda

2001

I have sworn an oath in the name of Allah for my commitment to the people. It’s the most sacred and significant duty that I must save them from anything that threatens us. We are here to do that. We were born to save our people. We must protect us and our people from anything that emerged from the devil.

We should eliminate all of the threats, ranging from the smallest to the most vicious savage. Because they are everywhere. They have the most powerful army in the world. Their soldiers are occupied by the most powerful weapons. But we must not afraid of them. Because we are in the way of Jihaad.

We do it all for our people.

We do it all for Allah.

That’s what I’m struggling with.

I’m sure that all this will work.

Because Allah is with us.

I never doubted that. After all, we are here to defend Allah. We support Him to finish off His great enemy, a giant demon called the United States.

We have to eliminate the United States of America from this world. It’s because the United States is a giant demon who has wronged His people, leaving all His servants in misery. They invaded our land. They killed our people!

Remember that they killed a hundred thousand Iraqis to keep the oil price low. It’s only one of their humiliation to us.

And they must pay the price of all their actions.

They have spread man-made laws throughout the world and made Muslims suffer for decades. America has declared war on Allah and His Messenger.

I feel sorry because I was one of them. I sacrificed myself for them.

After all, I was cheated on by them. I was stupid at the time.

I was stupid for believing in Satan’s deception.

Let me tell you the story. Previously, I was an ally of them.

I became their puppet to fight the Soviets after eight years of suffering in Afghanistan. I fought the Soviets until the end of the war. The United States supported me at that time. That’s why I want to fight for them.

I sacrificed everything I have, even if I surrendered my life at stake. It’s because I thought that they were real friends.

I was wrong.

They, allies who had me think of my own, betrayed me.

Those who have been with me and accompanied me to the point of risking my own life now turn to attack me.

The Afghanistan War was over years ago. Soviet had lost. We defeated them!

It’s a sign of warning, to whoever tries to threaten us, then they will be like The Soviets. The Soviets suffered in our land. They died after suffering a lot of pain. Then the country was dismissed because they couldn’t stand the impact of being defeated in our land.

Soviets were doomed.

But after that, we must face a new enemy. Our old ally is now our enemy. America, The United States, is our enemy. They created a lot of nightmares for our people.

It’s enough. They can’t do whatever they want.

This year, no more excuses; I swear that all of America will suffer in pain. They must pay the price.

Americans must accept the consequences of their actions, for their deeds to me, and my people. What they betrayed was not just us, but also the whole world.

The world suffers because of America.

Muslims suffer because of America.

Now we must get rid of them.

We have succeeded in destroying the Soviets. There is no reason for us not to be able to do the same thing to America.

Just waiting for time, everything will be achieved.

Nothing can defeat us because Allah is with all of us.

America is strong, but Allah is way stronger.

Therefore, I was never afraid to fight with America. Even though I don’t currently have a fleet as strong as they are, I still have no fear of America. I believe that Allah is with us. Allah is the strongest. We don’t have to be afraid of anything if we have Allah.

I believe that we have the strongest power in us. There’s nothing to worry about in the war against America. They are just a cloud of small dust in the wind compared to us.

Many people used to say that I was a fool to fight America. Of course, they never dared to say it directly in front of my face. They saw America as the greatest hero. Their technology, economy, governance system, and everything they have, can manipulate the world to think that America is the world’s police, the world’s guardian angel.

But then they found out how America hurts our people. America is no more than evil. The evil who killed innocent people.

They invaded Iraq with the excuse of rescuing Kuwait. I know that it’s all because of oil.

Although the false Scholars support and praise this American policy. They said that Saddam Hussein is a dictator. Saddam Hussein must be eliminated from Iraq and the world, so the people of Iraq and the Middle East can live in peace. Their words created support from Muslim countries to support America in invading Iraq in the Gulf War.

To hell with what they said about saving the Kuwaiti people over Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi dictatorship. It’s just about money. The scholars were paid by America. The scholars received a huge amount of money for that!

It’s not only the scholars but also The United Nations. They support America into pieces. Even if they know that America makes people suffer.

I can’t understand why the international community still believes in America.

At the moment, they are the ones who fool themselves, because they support America. They put their dignity in their pockets. They said yes to everything America did. And they said that everyone who fights America is “stupid”.

Who is stupid now?

Am I the one who struggles concretely?

Or those who just silently look at American barbarity?

They are blind, and their hearts are also blind. It’s clear what America is doing in destroying my people, who are also their people.

Did they not see?

Are they not aware?

America only uses us for its interests.

The false Scholars who built the Saudi regime were only American puppets. They were silent when America attacked Islamic countries but reacted when we were struggling.

O false Scholars, where is your conscience?

Who are your brothers? We or America and its supporters?

Are not the drops of blood of infidel halal?

What kind of cleric would allow infidels to rule Mecca and Medina?

What kind of cleric would stand by and watch Palestine oppressed?

Fear Allah, Sheikh!

There will be no victory against unbelievers except with jihad.

There is also no point in diplomacy. All will only end in jihad and taking up arms.

There is no means of all that we do for them.

I know that they wouldn’t listen to what I said. But it’s my job to remind them. And I will not stop doing that.

In the end, everything returned to the interests of their country. We were removed because America no longer needed us. In the past, they needed us to destroy the Soviets.

Now, their objectives are different.

After the Soviets, and the Communists, there’s only one big enemy left for America.

Islam.

And we, Muslims, are their newest target. They want to eliminate us from this world. I will not allow that. We must not allow that. We have to fight against America. We must destroy their people.

It’s about time. Either we destroy them first, or the opposite. The choice is in us. We, Muslims, must stand together. We stand together to destroy America into pieces. We must make their people suffer.

Besides, we must warn everyone who becomes America’s friend. They must be warned about who America is.

There is no good faith at all in America. Whoever becomes their friend must learn from what we experience. They gave us everything at first, then they betrayed us after that.

Only when we support what is in America’s interests, then they will help us and give us everything we ask for.

After they got it, and we have nothing left for them, they will destroy us.

To this day, we are no longer useful to them.

They already have their new desires.

America wants Iraqi oil.

And also, they want to destroy Muslims. They want to destroy us.

Again, Muslim countries are their targets.

My hatred began to grow and be centered.

We must build our troops to make America pay for everything they have done to us. The people of Muslims must behave like an integrated human body.

If one is injured, the other must suffer. The people of Muslims will not succeed if they start a direct war with America. They have the strongest Army in the world. They have the greatest technology in their arm. But as I said, we have the strongest power since Allah is with us.

But again, we can’t fight America directly.

It’s a suicide mission.

We must fight using other methods. It is impossible to rely on my armies today, which, although there were already many of them, would certainly not be proportional to fighting the millions of American troops with their great fleets.

However, war must begin immediately. America is a disaster for the world. Their annihilation is no longer negotiable. There’s no time to build our armies to be as strong as America’s. even if we can build our armies, America will know and attack us from the beginning. There’s no way we can build our strength without America knowing. They have the smartest intelligence agency to know everything we do.

But the war must go on. We will do our best, we must fight America with everything we have, and we must bring our victory. At this time, we have to plan an effective and efficient strategy to create terror. We will fight step by step, destroying America piece by piece, and in the end, we will win. America will be eliminated from this world. The world will be at peace without them. And we can live in peace too.

All of it is for the sake of the ummah.

Now, we have to put on the strategy. As I said, we can’t fight America directly. We must use other ways to defeat them.

At first, I thought that I could use a nuclear bomb. But after I think about it carefully, the risk is too big. We must train our people to handle nuclear rightly. And it’s not an easy job. It will take years for them to master nuclear technology. The people who will execute the nuclear attack must be trained too. It will take at least another year to make them experts in executing nuclear bombs. It’s too long, and the war needed to begin now. As soon as possible. We can’t wit anymore.

Then I think that we must build our weapon industry. The more we independent from Russian weapons, the more we can fight America efficiently. I think it’s the most logical answer to our weapon capacity problem.

But again, I think that it will take years to build the capacity. And it also brings a lot of risks. Although we have prepared the factory to make these weapons, it seems impossible to develop them without the CIA knowing.

Their eyes and ears are everywhere. Even needles fell across the ocean, they could tell.

But I have the confidence that someday we will surpass them in technology. I have learned all their technologies and methods, that’s why I have concluded that we can’t move directly. On the other side, I know everything that we must do. While we prepare our capacity in fighting them directly, we must fight them piece by piece parallelly. Of course, with relevant strategy.

We must move in silence.

We must move in the dark.

I realized that their strength is in their economy. I would love to destroy it. I will use most of my resources to attack their main power.

The source of their trade is in New York. From there, all world transactions are controlled.

It also became the breadbasket of America’s leading economy through the rewards of illicit transactions it made. That is also the central foreign exchange in supporting the economy.

Without its economic backbone, America will be paralyzed. They will be filled with homeless people and beggars.

America will ask us for a piece of bread to prop up the stomachs of each of its people.

Believe me, that will happen.

The people only need to wait for the time.

In the United States, our forces have made massive progress in planning a crucial attack. It would be fascinating for me to witness firsthand how our mission was completed. Everything will be dramatic, quick as fast as lightning, and they did not expect it.

We will destroy the center of the American economy, and even the world, into pieces. I want to see it immediately, how their people are shocked and become deficient in the blink of an eye.

Let them feel the pain of poverty, wandering on cold roads in the winter, without anyone interested in helping them.

It’s because they are the ones looking for their disaster.

It is they who make trouble with us.

Therefore, we attack them.

After the attack, the world won’t be the same as before, absolutely not. America will never look down on us. Then I will return to my place, monitor everything, and plan my next attack.

The attack is much more significant.

It’s an attack that will surely shake the world more.

America will know that they are wrong by fighting us.

They underestimate us and soon will regret it. But in due time, it was too late. There is no mercy for them, even though they cry and howl.

Now I just have to prepare everything.

All my wives will follow me to my place, hiding to replace calm, so that I can calm down thinking about the next attack. We will be safe in our home. Here I can arrange concepts and plans calmly. The atmosphere allows me to think about everything every time, be it morning, noon, or night. I knew that our work would arrive soon. We just need to focus and keep fighting.

Hopefully, I can get started soon. I already have everything I need. My troops are completed. They have also become my loyalists. Whatever I say, they will obey me. Because they know that everything I ordered is for their good. This is not about me; everything is not for my business, but for themselves. I am their intermediary for jihad, which will take them all to heaven. They will thank me for the path of jihad that I have given.

Our jihad is against the devil.

Our jihad is against America.
