Faulconer: "The Islamic League Does Not Represent Me"

From a secure location near the San Padua border, Ducal Official and Federal Representative to Haals Dennis Faulconer made a radio-broadcasted address to his countrymen about the war.
"Citizens, brothers and sisters, Haalsians from every walk of life and every ideology, I beg your attention for only a brief moment. I am Dennis Faulconer, your Federal Representative. Most of you likely don't know of me and many, I trust, don't care to. That's okay. But I must be truthful: while Haals hasn't seen peace in many painful years, the introduction of soldiers from the Bolnomian People's Republic have changed the terms of our struggle. Ours is no longer a civil war; ours is no longer a war of independence versus statehood. This is now a war of foreign machination - a war in which, if Falleentium loses, means subjugation under an authoritarian communist regime that responds to the will of the Bolnomian leaders, not the Haalsian people."
"The terms of the war have changed dramatically. Unfair though it may be to a people who already suffer their share tenfold, we Haalsians are at the business end of a war engineered by the Red Federation and Islamic League. And as a Muslim and a Haalsian, I feel the need to say that the Islamic League does not represent me. And it does not represent Haals, nor Islam. The Red Federation as I speak lays waste to Haalsian towns with their steel birds. They kill and rape with their soulless, trained killing machines they call 'elite soldiers'. You must not let them! Resist the red invaders on our shores and our streets! It no longer is a matter of consequence whether one supports Falleen statehood or not - that is a topic for after the war. From this day until the day the Red Federation is defeated, the terms of the war have changed: it is democracy or it is a puppet communist dictatorship. I hope the choice is perfectly easy for every Haalsian."
