We will be updating this section again in the New Year insha-Allah,
with other things you can do to help the establishment of an Islamic
State in Afghanistan. However, at this moment in time, cash donations
are required more than other due to an expected strike on Afghanistan
by Russian and American Special Forces. Read U.S. - Russian Crusade
Against Afghanistan as a widely-accepted acknowledgement of this
expectation.
1. Financially
***URGENT APPEAL FOR CASH DONATIONS***
1. Financially
An appeal for cash donations is especially urgent at this time (Winter
2000/2001) since a joint U.S./Russian chemical strike on Afghanistan
is imminent. In our analysis, it is a bigger priority for Muslim
organisations to help the Taliban at this time than to help any other
Muslim cause in the World, whether Chechnya, Kashmir or Palestine. The
fall of an Islamic Afghanistan due to financial difficulties will be a
calamity that will make all other Muslim calamities look like nothing
in comparison.
After U.N. sanctions and international isolation, the Taliban are
wholly dependent on their Muslim brothers and sisters around the World
to come to their aid and build the first Islamic State. Money is
required to re-build damaged roads, re-build hospitals and schools,
renovate factories, pay salaries to workers and many, many other
things. There are many things the Taliban is unable to do due to the
lack of funds. As a reasonable estimate, at least $10million a month
are required in donations from outside the country to be of any
meaningful use. Whilst it is not necessary for one organisation or one
Muslim community to provide all of this money, smaller amounts from
all Muslim communities, organisations and businesses around the World
can make this figure in no time at all. Assuming there are 10 million
wealthy Muslims in the World, they would only have to donate $1 a
month to the Taliban to reach this figure.
At present, it is relatively simple for either Muslim organisations,
or wealthy individuals, to assist the Taliban financially. The
procedure is given below:
(a) Muslim communities, organisations, mosques and centres should
collect money for the people of Afghanistan through appeals,
collections and fundraising events. It is advisable to hold the
appeals in the name of the people of Afghanistan rather than the
Taliban, since the enemies of Islam will try to prevent fundraising
for the Taliban in the future.
(b) All the money collected should be converted into US$ in cash and
deposited with two or three wealthy, trustworthy and respected members
of the community or organisation.
(c) At the end of each month, depending on the amount of the money,
two or three of the same trustworthy members or elders of the
community should travel to Karachi, Pakistan with the money in US$ in
cash. If a large amount of money is involved, it is probably advisable
to send one or two trustworthy, young, strong, fit Muslims with the
delegation for protection of the money and the delegation. The
delegation should carry an official letter on the letterhead of the
organisation or centre, giving the full names of the members of the
delegation and that they are carrying donations for the suffering
people of Afghanistan. Sample text for such a letter is found below:
"To Whom it May Concern:
We would like to introduce our official delegation from the Islamic
Centre of South Arlington who are carrying monetary assistance for the
suffering people of Afghanistan. The members of this delegation are
listed below:
1. Abdullah Muhammad Saeed, American Passport Holder
2. Ishaq Mansoor Al-Katib, American Passport Holder
3. Muhammad Abdur-Rasheed, Canadian Passport Holder
They are carrying a quantity of cash donations which have been
collected by the Muslim community of South Arlington and are to help
the suffering people of Afghanistan. We request all those whom it may
concern to allow the bearers of this letter to pass freely without let
or hindrance and to provide them such assistance and protection as may
be necessary.
Please do not hesitate to contact myself at any time for any further
information in this regard.
We thank you in advance for your assistance and cooperation.
Yours sincerely
[Signed]
Chairman of the Islamic Centre of South Arlington, USA"
This letter should only be produced upon request by authorities of any
country. You should not unnecessarily go round flashing this letter to
everyone indicating that you are carrying large amounts of cash.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MUST ANY OF THE MONEY BE HANDED OVER TO ANY
OFFICIAL OF ANY AIRPORT OR COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, EVEN FOR A FEW
SECONDS. IF THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM, SAY THAT YOU WILL RETURN BACK TO
YOUR COUNTRY WITH THE MONEY BUT THAT YOU WILL NOT HAND OVER THE MONEY
TO ANYONE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, EXCEPT ITS INTENDED RECIPIENTS. IF
THEY OFFER TO KEEP THE MONEY SAFELY FOR YOU UNTIL YOU DEPART, REFUSE
AND INSIST TO STAY WITH THE MONEY, EVEN IF IT MEANS STAYING IN THE
AIRPORT UNTIL THE NEXT FLIGHT.
(d) Once safely in Karachi, Pakistan, the money should be handed over
to the Official Taliban Consul-General, Mullah Rahmatullah, at the
Taliban Consulate in Karachi, together with a copy of your official
letter from your organisation. The contact details of the Taliban
Consulate in Karachi are given below:
Mullah Rahmatullah Kakayzada Khybanay Shamsheer Consul-General
Consulate of the Taliban Islamic Movement of Afghanistan
Karachi Defence Housing Association (D.H.A.)
Bungalow No. 33
Street No. 27
District 11, Phase V (five)
Karachi
PAKISTAN
Tel: 00-92-21-585 1128 (585 1128 inside Karachi)
If you have problems contacting the Taliban Consulate in Karachi, you
may also call the Taliban Embassy in Islamabad, Tel: 051-282 4505/6
(inside Pakistan)
It may be necessary to go to the Consulate first in person with your
official introductory letter and make an appointment with the
Consul-General first. It is better not to make this appointment over
the telephone since the enemies of Islam will try everything possible
to prevent financial help from reaching the Taliban. However, there is
no harm in ringing the Consulate from your country, before travelling,
to ensure that the Consul-General will be in Karachi at the dates you
wish to travel in. If you do call, it is better to call from a public
call centre and not give your name or the name of your centre over the
telephone. You can inform the Consulate staff that your request is
urgent since you have come from abroad. Once you meet the Consul, hand
over the money to him in cash and he will issue you with an official
receipt from the Taliban Islamic Movement of Afghanistan in whatever
name you wish. In this meeting, you will also have the opportunity to
request anything specific you would like the money to be used for (if
possible), ask questions about their current needs and perhaps arrange
a visit into Afghanistan if you have time.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU HAND OVER THE MONEY TO ANYONE AT THE
CONSULATE OTHER THAN THE CONSUL-GENERAL, MULLAH RAHMATULLAH.
Although, there is no minimum amount to the donation that you can
give, since the Consul-General will also be busy with other things, it
is advisable that you wait until your donation reaches at least
$20,000 before travelling to Pakistan.
(e) Once you have received your official receipt, you can take it back
to your country and display a colour photocopy of it (not the
original) in the organisation or mosque noticeboard as proof to the
donors that you have conveyed their money to its intended recipients.
With the method we have described above, you can convey your donations
directly to their intended recipients, without having to go through
middle-men or third parties. Therefore, you and the members of your
community can be assured that their money has been personally handed
over to its intended recipients by members of their own community that
they know and trust.

Iran doesn't count any more?
I think you're in the wrong newsgroup. This is va.general. You want
terrorist.general, or perhaps alt.smite-the-infidels.
Is this money to add to the price on Salman Rushdie's head? What's it
up to now? Do we split the reward evenly if I give you the number of
the flight he's on and you plant the bomb on the plane? Do either of
us get a bonus for all the other unbelievers on the plane?

I always welcome replies to my e-mail, postings, and web pages, but
unsolicited bulk e-mail sent to thousands of randomly collected
addresses is not acceptable, and I do complain to the spammer's ISP.

I was wondering about that, too. . except I read more closely,
and found that the "Islamic Center of South Arlington" sent this out,
or so the text sez. . .
