I seek the spread of freedom and democracy in the way that satisfies God. They [Americans] have planned and paved the ways for a long time, but it is God who is the real planner - and the proof of this is the fall of the American twin towers [...] a miracle from God.

The little serpent has left, and the great serpent has come.

America has shown its evil intentions, and the proud Iraqi people cannot accept it. They must defend their rights by any means they see fit.

If the American military begins to withdrawal, there will be no need for these armed groups.

God willing, the occupation forces will be driven out as happened in Vietnam.

I fear only God, all praises to Him.

I will continue to defend Najaf as it is the holiest place. I will remain in the city until the last drop of my blood has been spilled.
