Francis Report 10-03 Dave Francis The following is a letter, sent to Pravda, the Russian newspaper. It is reprinted here, with nothing removed or edited, in the hopes that you, the reader will get a better understanding of our enemy. This letter is not from a man who wants to see a conflict avoided, it is from a man who is hoping and praying for war, for jihad. There is no appeasing him and his ilk, there is only defeating them through bloody, brutal, sustained violence. Time to dig in folks. This one could get ugly. "If you kill our star Osama, he will last and live in our hearts forever, and there would be another Osama to come. If you insist to kill our hero, then I have no choice but to go and fight with him side by side and die for the cause of our people, and children. Mr. President, be sure that what I am thinking about right now is what every and each Muslim is thinking. Make no mistake about it. When I was a little child my mom used to tell me stories about Aladdin and his adventures, I was so impressed by his personality, and I decided to be like him. Whenever I go to sleep I dream of becoming an adventurer, I dream to travel around the world, I dream to have my own boat and navigate through the seven seas to see different people, different faces, different colors, different languages. I dreamed to travel to places no one ever reached before, and to have my own adventures to come back home and tell my friends what I saw, and to look at my impressed friends while I tell them my adventures and stories. The first Intifada began. One day I was going back home from school with my friend, we passed some youth who were throwing stones at Israeli soldiers, I looked at them and I thought they were enjoying their time throwing stones at soldiers. While I was looking at them I saw a very fast red object coming right to me, suddenly I heard people shouting in panic, children running in all sides, people were looking at me. It happened so fast, I looked at myself and I saw flesh and blood covering all my shoulder, and I looked at my friend, he was laying down to ground, his head and face were covered with blood, his books were shattered. his legs and arms were shaking so fast, seconds later he stopped shaking, and I was frozen, people around me were shouting at me to get out, to run fast, to lay down, I heard so many voices, I saw many faces, faces unable to distinguish, all of them were shouting at me, but I was still frozen, I was too young to understand, too young to see lood, too young to see dead people, it was my friend laying down without movement. Seconds later an elderly man crossed the road fast and carried me out of the scene, while he was carrying me I heard him crying and scolding me for not running away, I was taken by ambulance because they thought I was also hit. While I was in the ambulance Doctors were checking my body moving my arms and legs, I was unaware of them, all I was thinking about is my friend shaking so fast. Oh my God, I was 9 years old. I was taken home, and I saw many people gathering around my house, it was noisy, but I was able to distinguish my mother's voice, she was crying and shouting so loud, the ambulance stopped in front of my house, and people gathered around me, I entered the house and I saw my mother laying down, she was unable to move, whenever my aunts try to get her up she fell down again, her legs were unable to carry her body. I saw her nose bleeding, later on I was told she was beating and hitting herself, she hugged me the way she never did and filled my face with tears and blood. I looked at my father, he was trying all he could not to cry, he tried all he could not to let a tear gets out his eyes, he was struggling not to, finally he erupted and cried. Since the moment I saw my friend shaking, all my innocent dreams were shattered, and I decided since that time to be a hero who will free my friends and people. Later on I became more aware of reality, I became aware that not only my people are suffering, but there are many others who are suffering the same way we do, and there was one thing in common, they were all Muslims. And there was one enemy, the non-Muslim. Then I decided to be a hero like Salahuddin to help Muslims all around the world and free them from the savageness of the non-Muslim. But I lacked the money, and I lacked the weapon, I looked down on our leaders, the Arab leaders, who were enjoying their time gambling while Muslims all around the world are killed and tortured day and night, I was helpless, and I cried painfully for not being able to help other Muslims, I prayed to Allah to kill all Arab leaders at one time, those prayers were not yet to be answered. Suddenly, the star of Osama Ben Laden came into existence. Finally, the hero came into our lives to free us. The hero who dedicated his life and money for the cause of his people. The (Millionaire hero) came into our lives. Instead he goes enjoying his time, he dedicated his life and money to his people and lived a very humble and simple life. I expected that all people around the world will help the hero and support him, but then I discovered how ugly, dirty, and unjust the non-Muslim is. Mr. President, if you insist on suppressing Muslims, then keep in mind that one day we will be freed of your arrogance, we will be freed from the toys you made and supported, the toys who were the cause of all the pain we have. And if you kill Osama, he will last and live in our hearts forever, and there would be another Osama to come. If you insist to kill our hero, then I have no choice but to go and fight with him side by side and die for the cause of our people, and children. Mr. President, be sure that what I am thinking about right now is what every and each Muslim is thinking. Make no mistake about it. That day will come, and when it comes God save you and save your children from day of revenge Muslims will take, God save you and save your children from the anger you will face. Mohammed In other news, look for a serious amount of cooperation between Russia and the US on the upcoming war. After Saudi Arabia told the United States that it would not allow it's bases to be used for any attacks on any Muslim countries, Bush got on the phone with Putin, and a new alliance has been born. Since that phone call, on September 23, we can see a marked increase in Russian cooperation with the US led coalition. Spetznatz forces are supposedly leading US and British troops in scouting and recon missions in Afghanistan, the central Asian republics where Russia still has a lot of sway have almost all lined up behind the US, and are allowing their bases to be used for military personnel, intelligence sharing is at a level never approached between the two ex-enemies. The Russian involvement may be on a scale unimagined at this point. According to sources, the Russian 201st motorized division has been outfitted in Tajikistan, and is on standby to move. Part of their new issue includes some American weaponry, and translators. If one looks at the map, with Pakistan, Turkey, Tajikistan, Kryzykstan and Kazakhstan under the US led umbrella, cooperation of states like Saudi Arabia, Iran, and others becomes a lot less important from a strategic point of view. The US will have a lot of places to jump off from, if and when it decides to begin. Every day here in Russia, evidence is uncovered about the Russian mafias aiding bin Ladin, and helping him to buy and develop weapons of mass destruction. Everyone I talk to who may know anything tells me, "The attacks will start in a day or two." This same mantra has been going on since the 11th. I guess, I hope, eventually someone will be right. Incidentally, the word is, the attacks will begin soon... It increasingly appears that if the US doesn't hurry and get to Kabul, other groups are going to take care of the Taliban first. The Arab presence, brought about by Osama bin Ladin is wearing thinner and thinner on some Afghanis. There are reports of tribal violence flaring up against the Taliban, who have shown themselves totally loyal to bin Ladin and his host of non-Afghanis who he brought with him to guard him and help him lead his jihad against the west. Afghanistan is crumbling, and crumbling quickly. The Taliban are under attack from several quarters, and recently have been losing ground. They have removed their government troops from large portions of eastern and northern Afghanistan, and the emboldened anti-Taliban Afghanis are on the move. DJF |
