		WE'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE...

About 1960, Eritrea started Jihad against their opressors.  When
it was apparent that they were going to win, kicking out
Ethiopia, the Kafirun switched sides.  The Muslims accepted them
back to the fold.

The next stage involved the Kafirun shifting the movement from
Jihad to their own agenda, and they began restructuring the
country to suit themselves.  First they took over the Jihad
movement, ousting anybody that refused to give up their Islamic
identity, then abolished the Arabic language and Islamic 
practices of the people.  Next, they invited more Kafirun into
the country, and began moving their military into place in the
cities.  This was all done with the tools of nationalism,
secularlism, and Christianity, and it was very effective.

This was about 1970.

The Ulema's responded by making Dawah to their brothers and
sisters, teaching them their errors, and eventually gathered the
Mu'min into large groups to begin the Jihad anew.  This, then, is
the Eritrean Islamic Jihad Movement, those who are fighting even
now for the establishment of an Islamic government.

Now take a look at Pakistan....  They've managed to force out
their oppressors, but they've lost their Islam somewhere on the
way, and are now entrenched in a nationalist, secular, awfully-
close-to-Christian government, and are being manipulated by the
Kafirun.  How long will Allah (SWT) cause them to suffer before
we see Jihad in Pakistan again?

Let's look at Afghanistan....  They've managed to force out
their oppressors, but the Kafirun (Dostum & Friends) have
switched sides at the last minute to become 'bosom buddies' of
the mujahideen and the new leadership.  Now they are trying to
establish a nationalist, secular, awfully-close-to-Christian
government....

Is there a pattern here?

What about the Lebanese?  They never really got Jihad off the
ground, so they're now a hodge-podge of oppressed and oppressors.
The Palestinians are following in Lebanon's footsteps, as are the
Sudanese, the Kashmiris, the Burmese, etc.

There also seems to be a patter here....

PLEASE, FOR THE SAKE OF ALLAH (SWT) AND THE MUSLIM UMMAT, LET US
FOLLOW THE EXAMPLE OF RASULULLAH (SAW) AND HIS SAHABI!  When the
muslims are few and unable to fight, let us leave and go to gather
our brothers and sisters and strengthen their Faith in Allah (SWT).
When we've done so, and we are a group, let us make Jihad against
those who oppress us.  (Don't worry!  Oppressors will materialize
just for the occasion!)  When we've fought them and won control
of the land, let us declare our Khilafa immediately and begin
practicing our Islam and Shariat.

If we follow this example, that given to us by the Prophet of
Allah (SAW), then we will have victory, Allah (SWT) will protect
us and strengthen us, and all the muslims will make Bea' to the
Khalifa.  Despite what the Kafirun would have us believe, the
only way for us to lose is to abandon our Islam!

May Allah (SWT) keep BiH from following in the footsteps of those
who have failed, and keep them firmly upon His Straight Path,
Amin.  The entire world has forgotten all about Eritrea, but we
as muslims should watch carefully so that we may avoid the
pitfalls they have found with their lives.
