Part one of an essay entitled, “This is Gaza: A War of Existence, Not a War of Borders”:

“The loyal people of the Ummah interested in change must go to Afghanistan, learn from its conditions, and benefit from their [the Taliban’s] experience… the continuation of the genocide [in Gaza] calls for the Islamic peoples to strike all Zionist interests (both Western and Jewish) in all Islamic lands.”

“This strike must be a painful one as we are too late in doing what is required of us.” Bill Roggio and Caleb Weiss, “Al Qaeda leader calls foreign fighters to Afghanistan,” Long War Journal, June 8, 2024, https://www.longwarjournal.org/archives/2024/06/al-qaeda-leader-calls-foreign-fighters-to-afghanistan.php.
