Does the Iraqi army fight because it supports and defends the apostate, disbelieving Ba'athist regime?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: Oh Shaykh, you divided this people.
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner: I divided the answer between the people and the army, but you did not explain the regime?
The Shaykh: How could I not? We said the regime is a disbeliever.
The questioner: We said only the army is good. Now, if the regime is a disbeliever.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: It is considered an apostate. So what is the flaw in the issue of helping the apostate and making the people all of this for fighting? It is not a defense of this apostate.
The Shaykh: I did not understand you.
The questioner: I mean, this army is for supporting this apostate, and then you have ruled now, you said he is a disbeliever, and this entire army is to defend this disbeliever. This army does not fight.
The Shaykh: It is not defending this disbeliever. Why did you forget the entire army, the entire people, and the entire country? Why did you limit this army's defense to this small number that represents the disbelieving Ba'ath? Why did you portray the matter this way?
The questioner: This is how the army fights for the regime.
The Shaykh: My brother, is it not possible to say they fight for the land? Is that not possible? Do you see how you make me say to you, raise your voice? This might be evidence that.
The questioner: Okay, that is enough.
The Shaykh: So the important thing, my brother, it is a great, great, great error to imagine, my brother, do the Germans, the French, the British, and so on, when they fight, when they attack an enemy of theirs, do they fight for their government? Why is the scope so narrow and the thought limited to the idea that these people fight for fifteen, twenty, or a hundred thousand rulers? Why, when reality contradicts this belief? These people are defending, at worst, what can be said about their personal interests. As for the persons themselves, now, if Saddam were killed, would they cry over him day and night, or not a tear? Why? Because they are not defending Saddam, nor are they defending the regime, but they are defending their personal interests. These interests may differ from person to person. Now, I am telling you something: Does the Soviet Communist Party have jealousy? Does the Iraqi Communist Party have jealousy over their women? Say no, you have no answer again, glory to Allah!
The questioner: Yes, this issue requires knowledge, and I do not have an answer.
The Shaykh: My brother, the Arab Ba'ath Party, the Iraqi Arab Ba'ath Party, is an Arab party. Let it be from the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, let it be from the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, but.
