The following is a template for a letter that was signed by many Muslims and sent to King Fahd. I am posting this letter for a friend who doesnot have an access to the network. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To: King Fahd of Saudi Arabia, the Kings, the Ameers, and Presidents of the Moslem countries Peace upon those who follow the guidance: Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) said: "ALLAH prohibits the entrance of Jannah (Paradise) for any ruler whose rule is full of cunning and mischief to his people" The call of the American and European troops into the heart of the Moslem land is totally and categorically rejected by me as a Moslem who has right to that land of Islam, and to the resources in that land of Islam. Calling the troops grants the kafirs an authority over our Moslem land and people and therefore it is HARAM. Allying yourself and the Moslems under your rule with the America and Europe is HARAM. Calling the westerns troops to defend the Moslem land and people (as you claim) or to defend your own ruling power as the facts indicate, or even to protect the interests of America as the American officials did not even care to hide is an act of HARAM. These outrageous, evil, and HARAM acts certainly provoke the severe punishment of ALLAH, and the outrage of the Moslem ummah including myself. Therefore, as a Moslem believing in Allah, his Messenger, the QURAN, and the day of judgment, I demand that you: (1) Ask all the multinational troops in Arabia and the Gulf to leave immediately unless they accept Islam and become part of the Moslem army. (2) Withdraw from the United Nations which granted the U.S. and Europe the power to interfere in the affairs of the Moslems, and from the Arab League which provided the cover for such outrageous act. (3) Announce that the oil resources in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf are not American interests; rather they are the interest of the Moslem ummah only. (4) Denounce the artificial borders which were drawn by the colonialist kafirs between Moslem lands. (5) Restore the Islamic Ruling System which was established in Medina by the Prophet (pbuh) and continued by Abu Bakr, Omar, Othman, Ali, and the rest of the Khilafahs until 1924. "Promise the believers that they will be highly honored by their Lord " "Promise the hypocrites that they will be severely punished for they ally themselves with the kafirs instead of the believers ."
