14 DAY TRIAL // Self-proclaimed mastermind of one of the world's most violent tragedies, the terrorist attacks from September 11, 2001, released a 36-page-long manifest describing the War on Terror and inviting his captors to join Islam.
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, known as KSM, wrote the lengthy document while inside one of the world's most secure facilities, Guantanamo Bay, and used quotes from former US Presidents, like Richard Nixon and George W. Bush to state his arguments against America's War on Terror and the errors of Christianity.
The manifesto is just the beginning of a three-part, planned document that the Al-Quaeda leader is intending to write from inside facility. The document obtained by The Huffington Post includes a method of dealing with non-Muslims and an open invitation for Mohammed's lawyers and judges to convert to Islam.
His current opinions differ from his previous statement defending violence and mark a new way of trying to spread the Islamic work with a more philosophical approach. Mohammed also talks about the fact that the next two chapters will reveal his justification of the 9/11 attacks and his specific views on terrorism.
Besides the fact that he calls his captors to Islam, because “Allah will ask [him] on the Day of Judgment why [he] did not invite these people to Islam,” KSM also tries to clarify the reasons he has to blame the Westernized ways of living and Christianity. Mohammed sees himself as a messenger of Allah, meant to rid the world of sin.
He criticizes the Catholic Church, same-gender relationships and greed, mainly encountered in the Western side of the world. The mastermind behind the terrorist attacks paralyzing America in the fall of 2001 talks about the shocking rate of suicide among the war veterans returning from Iraq or Afghanistan in the United States.
In his view, American soldiers join the military, use the army's latest gear and gadgets, eat the best food in the countries where they are deployed and “play with their play stations while their enemies, the poor Muslims can't find their daily bread of jacket to protect themselves.” After all of this, they just go back home and commit suicide while the poor Muslims still struggle to live, the only difference is that the followers of Islam have a happy soul.
The “Invitation to Happiness” Manifesto was written in English and gives a unique insight into the mind of one of America's most hated men. Mohammed states that even if he lives in solitary confinement, he is happy, his “spirit is free even while [his] body is being held captive.”
