The Pest excitedly posted this earlier today. It's a GIMF translation of an article/whatever by that most prolific of online jihadi "sheikhs," Atiatallah. According to the ansarnet.info forum post, it's a translation of an Arabic post/article from November 2008. The "sheikh" supposedly died a few years ago in Iraq, but that apparently hasn't stopped him from posting to jihadi forums.
The following text comes from the first page of the translation, and crystalizes the global Salafist-Jihadist image (caricature, actually) of their mortal enemy, ie. the United States:
The Criminal Americans are Fumbling About, Carrying Out a War of Atrocities
by: Sheikh Atiatullah ‐ may Allah protect him ‐
This phenomenon not something strange coming from them, nor is something surprising to us; a phenomenon which is a result of its true identity is not unusual. They and their state of affairs are known to us from the start. They are the scum of humanity, having no religion nor God‐consciousness, no ethics nor standards for that matter, except what they boast about – as they must – from their hollow and deceitful slogans and expressions which only trick those who have no sense of morality and true religion.
Indeed they are the Americans, the leaders of humanity today.
… the immoral criminals, teachers of debauchery and filth, those who spread corruption across earth.
… a criminal, homosexual, shameless, dissolute people, worshippers of lusts and Satan.
… a tyrannical, conceited, impudent, and oppressive people hostile to others.
… a gluttonous, selfish, greedy, lustful, and animal‐like people.
… a people who reject Allah, the Magnificent, His laws, and His right of absolute authority.
… those who have haughtily refused the worship of Allah ()!
… those who deny of the Messengers of Allah and their Messages, those who abuse and mock the Messengers of Allah.
Are they not the ones who reviled Muhammad (), siding with and protecting those who cursed and mocked him? Do not the president of America and its masses believe that the Messenger of Allah, Muhammad (), was a liar – that he lied to humanity in his claim that he was a Prophet of Allah to all people? Do they not believe that he was not sent by Allah nor was he sent revelation, and that this Quran brought by Muhammad () is a lie and fabrication which he himself put together?!
Do the American masses not believe that this Quran is backwards, callings to digression and what they call violence and terrorism, criticizing it, saying it to be the foundation of transgression against human and women’s rights?
Woe be to humanity if the likes of these people are its leaders, and woe be to humanity if they do not rebel against these likes and return to their Lord and submit the role of leadership to its best, the followers of the Messengers of Allah, Allah’s beloved, those who follow His Guidance, His Books and His Messages!
Due to the unawareness, rather the deep sleep of the people of Truth (the Islamic Nation), these people and their predecessors assumed leadership of the world. They built a materialistic and lustful society based on the disbelief of religion and the Last Day, drowning in entertainment and opulence: seeing the world as nothing but a source of entertainment, by any means or ends, without any of the curbs or restrictions of religion or the fear of the Lord, the Great and High Creator.
