Bismillahirrahmanirrahim

Assalamu'alaikum,

We have all witnessed, on our television sets, the persecution and murder of
Muslims in Bosnia. We have become accustomed to hearing about the annihilation
that is taking place there on a daily basis. One aspect which never fails to
shock us, however, is the rape and abuse of our Muslim sisters. Some of these
girls are only seven years old; north-east of Mostar, the Chetniks have made a
habit of hanging on branches the dresses of the little girls they rape.

Francine Proulx, a French humanitarian aid worker, recounted the tale of an 18
year old Muslim girl who was kidnapped by Serbian soldiers. She was frequently
sodomized by her captors. She was given no food or water; the soldiers made
her drink drink their urine. She was kept bound and blind folded; they only
fed her if she could correctly guess, from an identity parade, which soldier
had sodomized her.
There has been countless number of similarly disgusting (and even worse)
incidents reported from all over Bosnia. These brutal acts are often performed
publicly if front of the victim's parents, family and neighbours.

Try and imagine how you would feel if it was your sister that was stripped
naked and thrown to the floor. Imagine her screams as the kuffar take turns to
rape her. Imagine trying to struggle to stop her tormentors. Imagine them
crashing their rifle butts on your nose and cheek bones, your eye falls out of
its socket, and they continue until you are senseless or dead. This is the
reality of the situation facing our Muslim sisters and brothers in Bosnia. Why
have these savage and inhuman acts not been prevented? Why has the rape of our
sisters gone unanswered? Who will fight for the dignity and honour of the
Muslims?

There is only one solution. Allah (SWA) has ordered us :

  "Fight in the way of Allah those who fight you, but do not provoke
   hostility. Slay them wherever you come upon them and expel them from
   they have expelled you"
   [2:190]

  "And the one who attacked you, attack him, in like manner as he 
   attcked you"
   [2:194]

  "O you who believe! Fight against the disbelievers who besiege you, 
   and let them find harshness in you; and know that Allah is with those 
   who fear him"
   [9:123]

This fighting is jihad. To undertake this fighting, we need an army. we have
many armies. Across the Muslim world, we have millions of Muslim soldiers
sitting in their barracks. They surely feel as fustrated as we do that their
rulers prevent them from doing their duty. Our shameless rulers refuse to heed
the command of Allah (SWA) and send their soldiers to liberate the Muslims from
their suffering. Allah (SWA) has warned us about those who disobey Him:

   "Those who do not rule what Allah has revealed are
    disbelievers....oppressors......transgressors"
    [5:44 - 47]

   "Have you seen those who claim that they believe in the revelation 
    revealed to you and the revelation revealed earlier? They resort 
    together for judgement to the evil (taghut), although they have 
    been ordered to reject it"
    [4:60]

It is very obvious that the rulers of the Muslim lands intend to stand by and
let the kuffar mercilessly wreak their havoc and oppression on the Muslims.
However, just because they refuse to do their duty, we must not fail in
completing our duty. Allah (SWA) says :

   "you (the Muslims) are the best of all nations, raised for mankind. You
    enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil"
    [3:110]

The Prophet (SAW) said:

   "Perform jihad against the disbelievers, with your wealth, your souls, and
    you tongue"

   "The best jihad is to speak up for truth in the face of a leader who
    deviates from the right path"

We can speak out against our leaders and our governments. We can remind them
of their duty. We can attempt to put pressure on them publicly to obey the
commands of Allah(SWA). We implore you take this duty very seriously and
struggle in the way prescribed by Allah (SWA). May He gran the Muslims a
victory soon.
