In the Name of Allah, The merciful, the compassionate
From God's servant Usama bin Laden to the peoples of the countries allied with the unjust American government;
Peace on those who follow guidance;
The path of security begins with the ending of aggression. It is equitable to mete equal treatment. The events taking place since the New York and Washington conquests up to the present – like of the killing of Germans in Tunisia and the French in Karachi, the explosion in the giant French tanker in Yemen, the killing of the marines in Faylaka, the killing of the British and Australians in the Bali explosions, the recent Moscow operation, and some dispersed operations here and there – are all reactions and treatment in kind dealt by the zealous sons of Islam in defense of their religion and in response to the order of their God and prophet, peace be upon him.
The action of the pharaoh of the age, Bush, in killing our sons in Iraq and the actions of America's ally, Israel, in bombing houses in Palestine on the heads of the old men, women, and children in them using American aircraft were all sufficient cause for the wise men and for your rulers to distance themselves from this criminal gang. Our people in Palestine are being killed and tortured for a century almost. Now, if we defend our people in Palestine, the whole world rises up to band together against the Muslims under the lying and deceitful banner or combating terrorism.
What business has your government to ally with the criminal gang in the White House against the Muslims? Don't your governments know that the White House gang are the biggest mass murderers of the age? Here is Rumsfield, the butcher of Vietnam, killing more than two million people not to mention the wounded and here are Cheney and Powell who caused more death and destruction in Baghdad than Holako and the Tatars did there. What business has your government in allying with America in attacking us in Afghanistan? I specially mention Britain, France, Italy, Canada, Germany, and Australia?
We have warned Australia before over its actions in Afghanistan not to mention its hateful endeavor to separate East Timur. But it ignored the warning until it woke upon the sounds of the explosions in Bali. Then its government falsely and lyingly claimed that they were not targeted.
If you are dismayed by seeing the male dead of yours and your allies in Tunisia, Karachi, Faylaka, and Yemen remember our children dying every day in Palestine and Iraq remember our people deliberately killed in the wedding parties in Afghanistan. If you are dismayed by looking at your dead in Moscow remember our dead in Chechnya.
Till when will murder, destruction, homelessness, orphans, and widows be our preserve alone leaving you with security, stability and happiness to be your own preserve?
This is an unjust division. It is now time to get equal in the goods. Just as you kill you will get killed and just as you shell you will get shelled. Await then what will dismay you.
Here is the Muslim nation starting by the grace of God to throw at you her sons who have sworn to God to continue fighting with word and sword to instill what is right and abolish what is wrong as long as their eyes blink and their veins beat with life.
Finally, I ask God to provide us with help from Him to enable us to uphold his religion and keep fighting for his cause until we meet Him pleased with us He is well capable of that.
The last thing we say in our prayer is Praise be to God the lord of creation.
