In case you thought OBL's fatwa died with him...

On the Importance of Jihad as a Means of Destroying the 'Infidel Countries'


The Annihilation of the Infidels is a Divine Decree

"Regardless of the norms of 'humanist' belief, which sees destroying the infidel countries as a tragedy requiring us to show some conscientious empathy and... an atmosphere of sadness for the loss that is to be caused to human civilization - an approach that does not distinguish between believer and infidel... - I would like to stress that annihilating the infidels is an inarguable fact, as this is the [divine] decree of fate..."
Muslims Must Not Wait Passively for the Divine Decree to Just Happen

"Yes, perhaps it is predetermined that the infidel country will be annihilated. But [if the believers do not act] this kind of annihilation will never be in favor of the Islamic state. The infidel country will be annihilated in favor of an infidel country like it or even worse than it..."
"By Means of Jihad - Allah Tortures [the Infidels] with Killing"

"By means of Jihad, Allah tortures them with killing; by means of Jihad, Allah tortures them with injury; by means of Jihad, Allah tortures them with loss of property; by means of Jihad, Allah tortures them with loss of ruling. Allah tortures them by means of Jihad - that is, with heated war that draws its fire from the military front..."
"The Tortures Will Bring the Infidels to the Path of Righteousness"

"Many of the infidels will be shocked; their emotional entity will be shaken; and perhaps some of them will repent and learn their lesson. In addition, Jihad is a means of defeating them, and perhaps by means of this victory... the tortures will bring them back to the path of righteousness..."

Are there still significant numbers of Jihadi Muslims ready to convert us to Islam or kill us?
You bet. You can take it to the bank. And don't let your mind dwell too long on that conversion business, either, because they won't.
I don't recall hearing that any of the 9/11 victims were asked to convert to Islam before they were murdered.
