do not seem to hear the voice of warning and your eyes
do not see the actions of the wicked*
Think of Prance, England and Russia - has any
weak person ever been saved from their hands, and has
ever a Moslem nation been immune from their evil, and
can this concise letter contain all the wrongs and
tyrannical acts committed by Prance in Tunis, Algeria,
Morocco, Sudan and the great desert, for she has done
there inexplicable things and your brothers, in those
places now governed by them have lost both their
personal and religious liberties, and have been
driven to war in Europe like sheep, obliged in spite
of themselves, to fight their brothers in creed, the
armies of the Khalifat - which act has been pro
hibited by God on all the believers, Por, what do
you think of those who draw their swords against His
armies that fight for the restoration of Islam*s
glory and the liberation of all Moslem nations from
the Western yoke and oppression? Is it possible to
put down in black and white all what the Russian
barbarians have done to 30 millions of the Moslems of
Asia, and the least that can be mentioned of their
deeds, consists in ruined mosques and abused souls?
And it befits us here to throw a light on the acts of
England, the enemy of humanity and liberty, the
oppressor of the Islamic nations, and the destroyer
of the Eastern civilization. It is also impossible
for us to explain all her acts in detail, for the
deceit and crime committed by her in her colonies are
far greater than a tentn of the devil *s doings and of
such subtlety and malignance, that Nero, Timerlink
or Hulago would be ashamed of. And those who do not
believe
