Dear Great Satan:

I can't even laugh at you any more. Rather than entertaining, you are disgusting. I have no fear that telling you these truths will hinder our movement.

We have been killing you for decades, all over the world. You, and all other unbelievers. It is God's will and our destiny that you all shall either die, or join us. It was the same when we swept across the known world, until we were stopped in Spain.

We became complacent after your counterattack led to a stalemate. Oh, yes--it's true! Some of us know that the Crusades were counterattacks. To be sure, you committed atrocities and adopted out methods of conversion, but a few of us--the chosen of God--understand who were the aggressors.

We use the Crusades to motivate our warriors. They are taught what they need to be taught, from infancy, to inspire their absolute commitment. They are taught that we were peaceful until the Crusaders attacked us, that we have always been the persecuted, and that God wants you all dead or converted.

We also tell you this, and most of you actually believe it.

Why do we hate you? It is not merely that God tells us that you have no souls and are his enemies. Not simply that you stand in the way of our predestined worldwide caliphate. It is not your decadance, ostentation, materialism, and shallowness.

Above all, I think, it is your cowardice.

Oh, yes, you often die well, and in battle show courage. But you were not forged in the furnace of the desert, among hungry clans and tribes competing for scarce resources for many generations. Your definition of courage is shallow. Your sense of honor is childish.

For us, courage is a matter of survival. For thousands of years before Islam came to us, those who lacked courage died before they could sire children. To this day, death means far less to us than it does to you. We have all lost family members. We do not wallow in grief. We can't afford it. We feel the pain, as do you, but quickly overcome it. We understand it was the will of God, not to be questioned. We return to the mission, and look foreward to the time when we will join those we lost in Paradise.

Honor: Doing God's will, by any means neccessary. Obedience. Fidelity to the one God. Deception is a weapon. War extends to transactions, promises, and manipulation. The unbelievers have no souls, and warrant no respect. Cowards should die anyway.

Courage: Yes, courage in battle, or in hardship. This, you understand. Still, you are cowards.

Cowards lie to themselves. Cowards believe what they wish to believe, and not what is real. This is why, for all of our history, they died young in our culture.

Cowards seek peace with the implacable. For how long have even some Jews made concessions and sought peace with us? We tell you, it is about the Palestinians. We attack them, they strike back, and we call it oppression. We know that much of the world still hates all Jews, and use it. You see what you wish to see. There are more of us, in every part of the world. It is convenient for you to see our side of it.

We tell you it is about oppressed brothers, but we make no home for them ourselves. We wish the conflict to continue. The real mission is to destroy all Jews. You have heard this in our internal speeches and sermons, but pretend our words were never spoken. It is inconvenient for you to accept this reality.

We speak of the worldwide caliphate, and you pretend you never heard this as well. No--Islam is a religeon of peace, and these are only a few malcontents! It is all our fault for the Crusades, and for interfering with them, and for training and helping them for our own advantage. We must apologize more sincerely. We must compromise!

Such vomit. You are cowards. WE will never compromise, and the few among you understand this. WE will never stop seeking your destruction, killing you, and bleeding you with oil. For the few of you who know this, we have respect, at least.

For the rest of you, we complain about the poor Palestinians, desecration of our thousands of Holy places, our persecution. For the rest of you, we say all we want is to be left alone. And you are cowards--you turn against those who would protect you from us.

Why are you in Iraq, you want to know. How many times does it need to be explained to you? Ask yourself why WE are in Iraq!

Bin Laden anticipated the invasion of Afghanistan as a retaliation for 911. He planned to do to you what we did to the Soviets. Only your special forces and money bought the loyalty of indigenous tribes who could help you fight us on our own terms. A brilliant move.

However, we are not without our own resources, and could draw warriors from all across the middle east. It would take longer, but still, we could defeat you in Afghanistan. It did not matter how many of us you killed. We learned from Viet Nam: You are cowards. Your media will portray every costly victory as defeat. Your peace movements of cowards would grow, and force your humiliating withdrawel, and once more an abandonment of those who risked all to support you.

Iraq destroyed this plan. Now we are on the defensive; on toiw fronts. Iraq was a semi-secular state and an oil-producer. It's terrain favors your weapons systems. You have allies there, and have offered them freedom.

WE are in Iraq becasue this is the only way you can turn the tide against us. Their children will be educated, as only the chosen among us have been. They will not be taught about Jews drinking the blood of moslem babies, absolute obedience to us and the clerics, and the predestined worldwide caliphate, and America the Great Satan.

They will not be controlled, and will enjoy their freedom. And make no mistake: We hate freedom. Freedom is freedom from God. Freedom is disobedience. Freedom is a cancer, which we fear will spread. These are the stakes.

Because you are cowards, many of you will disregard all of this, for to confront it would require courage. You will TELL yourself that it is not true. You will find others, who think as you do, and feel encouraged. You will hear a politician tell you what you wish to hear, and feel your self-deception validated.

Yes, and how many of your politicians plead our case before you, and attack those who seek to protect you? They are not cowards. Though many are simply stupid themselves, many others care only for themselves.

You will continue to allow us across your borders, grant us access to your courts, restrict your soldiers, blind your intelligence officers, undermine all neccessary efforts, and deny reality.

What would the North Viet Namese done without American cowards and communists?

You will lose. It is not simply God's will. It is also nature. The weak should yield to the strong.

God is great.
