The Mujahidin Shura Council in Iraq, which includes al Qaeda, has officially responded to President Bush's Sept. 11 speech. Rusty, at Jawa Report has the full text, but here's the bottom line from those misguided freedom fighters.

Your Mujahidinn Brothers will fight to the end and until Allah’s Law controls the world. It is one of two great ends: The victory or The Shahada (martyrdom)

Last night Bush said:

They remain determined to attack America and kill our citizens

The Islamofascists also had this to say to us:

You and your companions will be defeated as you see what happens everyday on the various lands of Iraq and we will get the victory in the end and the caliphate (the Islamic system of rule) will come back to judge by the law of Allah and at that time we will break the cross, shed the wine and we wont accept jiziya (Islam or Death).

For those who haven't studies Islam or its history, Rusty enlightens us.

The jiziya is the tax traditionally paid by non-Muslim dhimmis in Muslim states. Dhimmis are non-Muslims considered under the protection of Muslims, but in practice have always been second-class citizens (for instance, the testimony of Christians is not equal to that of Muslims in Islamic law). What the MSC is suggesting above is that the normal choice given to non-believers of conversion or becoming a dhimmi will not be offered. Instead, all 'crusaders' will be killed.

They couldn't have said anything better to back up President Bush's speech last night. Here's a reminder.

Our nation is blessed to have young Americans like these -- and we will need them. Dangerous enemies have declared their intention to destroy our way of life. They're not the first to try, and their fate will be the same as those who tried before. Nine-Eleven showed us why. The attacks were meant to bring us to our knees, and they did, but not in the way the terrorists intended. Americans united in prayer, came to the aid of neighbors in need, and resolved that our enemies would not have the last word. The spirit of our people is the source of America's strength. And we go forward with trust in that spirit, confidence in our purpose, and faith in a loving God who made us to be free.
