It is regarding the RAND report<http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=2&url=http://rand.org/pubs/monograph_reports/MR1716/MR1716.pdf&ei=q00pSMa_G5Sm8ASC0MHNCw&usg=AFQjCNHVMYlIBVOmp4VDJoqXm19t68tGbA&sig2=d9lgRcIUOCfe0Ln8NspRGQ>and the open plans of the US Government to distort Islaam and the current events in order to persuade the Muslim societies to disown and turn their backs to the Mujaahideen. He makes it clear that this is part of the agenda of the United States and there are thousands, if not millions of Muslims who are swallowing their propaganda efforts. The United States wants to also promote a type of brand of Islaam which helps them in their "legitimacy" to fight the ideology of the Mujaahideen. They want to promote a Sufi type of Islaam that is mixed with Democracy and shuns the Jihadi resistance. They also are doing their best to make the Mujaahideen appear as criminals to the world in general, and the Muslim Ummah in specific. For instance, if the Mujaahideen make a mistake or unintentionally kill non-combatants, America blows that out of proportion and does its best to repeat this image of the Mujaahideen as "brutal people" who have no set morals and who don't care for the civilian population. To some extent, they have succeeded in this effort. However, if America drops a bomb that kills women and children or non-combatants in general, then the media either covers it up or brands it as a "mistake" and they "apologize" and give their "condolences" and then bury the issue underground. But if the Mujaahideen make a mistake, then it is blown out of proportion, news articles and analysis are written about it, lectures and books describe it and so on. Pure American hypocrisy. The Muslims must realize this and speak the Haqq. He also talks about how the United States is spending billions of dollars on this campaign, yet many Western journalists are reporting that "Bin Ladin is winning by default." Another thing he talks about is the "moderate Muslim" which the West is doing its best to create. They are those Muslims who accept Democracy as a system, who accept man-made laws, who shun Jihaad with the weapon, and who don't get angry for the sake of Allah; such people are in reality Apostates. He also talks about how, subhaanAllaah, the Kuffaar call our Mujaahideen as cowards. We seem to see it in the news quite often. He points out: the Americans are cowards because they wear their thick metal helmets, bullet proof vests and other armor, hide in their extra padded up Bradley's and Hummers whereas the Mujaahideen wear t-shirts, slippers and trousers, and fight with light guerrilla warfare weapons. Does it not take extreme guts and great sacrifice to fight like this? Towards the ending, he touches upon an extremely important subject and that is regarding the Islaamic State of 'Iraaq. First and foremost, we thank Imaam Anwar for talking about this subject due to the strong US campaign against it. It's nearly impossible to find an Imaam educated in the West who talks about the Islaamic State in 'Iraaq which was established by the Mujaahideen. And those who do talk about it are ignored, put down, or insulted. So again we thank the Shaykh for giving some very important pointers regarding this blessed Khilaafah that is coming out of 'Iraaq. Imaam Anwar talks how America was doing its best to avoid such an establishment and that when they had invaded 'Iraaq, the invasion came to bite them in their behinds with the declaration of the Islaamic State. Imaam Anwar discusses that it is not just the actions of the Mujaahideen to form such a State which we should be excited about, but it is the declaration itself which shows the mentality of the Muslims; it shows that there are hundreds of thousands of men (actually, the number of the Mujaahideen in the Islamic State of 'Iraaq is close to a million or a little more) who want to rule by the law of Allah, and that they want to once again bring back the Khilaafah to dominate the world. The youth of today in the post 9/11 world have changed for the better and it's only getting worse for America. So the Ummah has to be excited about this declaration because there are very strong signs that the Khilaafah is coming back sooner than we think; and the authentic ahadeeth regarding the return of the Khilaafah "on the manhaj of the Prophet" is something which is occurring before our very own eyes. So to sit on the sidelines is not acceptable! We must do whatever we can to bring support to the Islaamic State, even if that means countering the false arguments against it. It seems that this lecture is a continuation of his previous one, "Allah is preparing us for victory." This is a must listen for all. It would be interesting to see if the people at Muslim Matters<http://www.muslimmatters.org/>offer an analysis of this lecture of his; we say that since some good portions of the lecture attacks them indirectly.
