The danger of seeking the aid of disbeliever armies against Islamic lands.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And we said, and we continue to say, that if the Americans, along with the British, and in each of these states hundreds, if not thousands, of Jews, if they now wanted to seize control of the Saudi land, who would expel them? The Saudis, who were unable to withstand for even an hour the Iraqi aggression against Kuwait, and that was before it attacked Saudi Arabia. Can these Saudis expel the Americans against their will, if Satan whispers to them to remain as colonizers of the Saudi land, or at least if the American Jews long for their old nest, namely Khaybar, and occupy it with their armies, their tanks, and their planes? Can Saudi Arabia expel them? Therefore, such people are like the old proverb says, "We were under the rain, and we became under the gutter." You know the gutter is the rain spout. So this was the duty, but unfortunately, as I have said more than once, the Saudi state has always boasted and bragged to all the countries of the Middle East that it is advanced in the economic and social fields, and then there is nothing behind that. As for calculating for the aggression of a disbeliever state against it and preparing to repel its aggression, or calculating for the aggression of an open sinner state, which may be Muslim but is an open sinner, and preparing to repel its aggression, this is what it did not think about. But it was thinking about eliminating what might arise within it of reformist movements, even though these movements do not brandish weapons against the state, because this branding is not permissible Islamically. But it, meaning Saudi Arabia, under the inspiration of the disbeliever American, British, and Jewish states, which inspire it to take preventive measures against what is called today the Islamic awakening, so it was preparing for this awakening. But as for what came to it of fear of aggression from its neighbor, the Iraqi state, it did not make calculations for this, so it fell into what it had not made calculations for. And at that time, it claimed that it was forced to seek the aid of the disbelievers. And I say again, if only these disbelievers were like the Romans with the Persians in the time of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), then the danger would have been less. But since these European and American states, along with the Jews, have become the most dangerous states to Islam and all Muslims, they have brought the greatest evil to the Saudi lands first, and then to the Islamic lands second. And Allah is the One to be sought for help.
