4. What raises history and elevates it to the status of belief is the fact that the sacred blood shed in the most crucial situations for our nation to assert its traits, and its mission to augment its everlasting contribution to humanity, has been the blood of the Mujahedeen who loved Allah and would therefore not hesitate to carry out their missions as designed by Allah the Almighty, along with the honour they had in carrying the Call of the Message of heaven to mankind as a whole, after spreading it to their own great nation.
——from an English version of a speech by Saddam Hussein delivered on Iraqi television and published in The Guardian on January 6th, 2003.

什么可以创造历史，并把历史上升到信仰的高度呢？那就是在我们国家危难的时刻，用我们神圣
的鲜血捍卫她的特性，使之能持之不懈地为整个人类作出贡献，那些忠诚于真主安拉的圣战者们在自
己的鲜血洒向自己伟大的祖国之后，带着天国信使对整个人类召唤的荣誉，毫不犹豫地去完成万能的
真主交付的使命。
