For us, holding on to religious rules, and following them, and refraining from what's forbidden, and being diligent with our duties, what do we call that? That's what we call freedom.

The U.S.-led forces have the money, weapons and huge numbers, but these things are not going to weaken our will because God is with us.

Our rejection of the occupier at heart is resistance.

What if the invasion forces will not leave our lands? What if the U.S. forces and others stay in our beloved lands? What if their companies and embassy headquarters will continue to exist with the American flags hoisted on them? Will you be silent? Will you overlook this?

We don't kill Iraqis - our hands do not kill Iraqis. But we target only the occupier with all the means of resistance.

When the Americans advance, we harass and retreat, fire from new positions and then retreat again. If the attacking force is too big, we call for support.
