Bin Laden's Demoralizing Words to American Social Media Readers Were Always A Form of Warfare

So were his very different reasons for calls to war directed to fellow Muslims. The reasons for war against Americans were not defense, justice or reciprocity. The reasons were theological hatred and genocide because Americans were infidels.

"Soon after 9/11, an influential group of Saudi apologists wrote an open letter to the United States saying,

"The heart of the relationship between Muslims and non-Muslims is justice, kindness, and charity."

Outraged by such a claim, Bin Laden discretely wrote (in Arabic) to the Saudis the following:

"As to the relationship between Muslims and infidels, this is summarized by the Most High's Word: "We renounce you. Enmity and hate shall forever reign between us — till you believe in Allah alone" [Koran 60:4]."

"So there is an enmity, evidenced by fierce hostility from the heart. And this fierce hostility — that is, battle — ceases only if the infidel submits to the authority of Islam, or if his blood is forbidden from being shed, or if Muslims are at that point in time weak and incapable. But if the hate at any time extinguishes from the heart, this is great apostasy! Allah Almighty's Word to his Prophet recounts in summation the true relationship: "O Prophet! Wage war against the infidels and hypocrites and be ruthless. Their abode is hell — an evil fate! [9:73]." Such, then, is the basis and foundation of the relationship between the infidel and the Muslim. Battle, animosity, and hatred — directed from the Muslim to the infidel — is the foundation of our religion."

Raymond Ibrahim, The Al Qaeda Reader, 2007. [p. 43]

Highly Significant News: You Can Spend Gold in Florida

The Florida legislature has begun to move legislation to enact their prior approval for gold and silver coins to be legal tender in Florida.

This legislation will exempt gold and silver coins from sales tax in Florida. It also means that within Florida, there will be a means of payment independent of digital money created by governments for the purpose of controlling the population, it’s behavior, and it’s expressed views, in order that governments can rule via official narratives.

As other states follow suit, interstate transactions can be executed in gold.
