接下来我们谈最后一种文明之间的冲突，即军事冲突。穆斯林称之为圣战（jihad），这是一个内容广泛的话题。我们在此关注的是：证明军事冲突的不可避免性，特别是在伊斯兰文明中；一些人试图否认进攻性作战（qital ut-talab）的义务；反驳那些认为伊斯兰是宽容与和平之教的说法；以及伊斯兰是否是一种恐怖主义之教。

Then we move onto the last type of conflict between civilisations; that is the military conflict, which among Muslims is called jihad and it is a wide subject. What concerns us here is proving the inevitability of military conflict particularly in the Islamic civilisation; the attempt by some to negate the obligation of offensive fighting (qital ut-talab), then rebutting those who say that Islam is the deen of tolerance and peace; then is Islam a deen of terror?

我们先从异教文明的追随者对穆斯林的行为说起。这些行为的指向性比言语更有说服力，因为它们是有形可感的。澳大利亚从未与我们交过一次战，却占领了东帝汶。中国占领了中亚南部的一整个地区（wilayah）；俄罗斯占领了高加索地区、克里米亚、喀山等多个伊斯兰地区。印度占领了德里、克什米尔以及整个北印度。美国人主导着整个海湾地区，将其政治和军事影响力延伸至中亚，从乌兹别克斯坦直到海湾，并深入西奈；此外，他们在土耳其的因吉尔利克设有一个大型军事基地。而且，他们正与法国和英国争夺在非洲的影响力。英国在亚洲和非洲仍残存一定影响力，并在海湾和直布罗陀驻有军队。塞尔维亚人、克罗地亚人、希腊人、罗马尼亚人和保加利亚人占领着伊斯兰土地。西班牙占领了安达卢西亚、萨卜泰和马莱拉。意大利人占领了西西里岛，即阿格莱卜王朝之地。地中海的各岛屿全部被占领，而它们都是伊斯兰土地。菲律宾占领了伊斯兰土地，缅甸也是如此。犹太国占领了巴勒斯坦，而巴勒斯坦属于大沙姆地区的边界之内。安拉的使者ﷺ说的是真理，他说：

We begin with the actions of the followers of the kafir civilisations with Muslims; they are more eloquent in indication than words because they are tangible and sensed. Australia, whom we never fought once, occupied East Timor. China occupies an entire region (wilayah) of southern Central Asia; Russia occupies several Islamic regions like the Caucasus region, Crimea, Khazan etc. India occupies Delhi, Kashmir and the whole of northern India. The Americans dominate the entire Gulf and extend their political and military influence across Central Asia, from Uzbekistan to the Gulf and go into the Sina, beside they have a large military base in Incirlik in Turkey. Moreover, they struggle with both France and Britain over their influence in Africa. The British have a remnant of influence in both Asia and Africa, and a military presence in the Gulf and Gibraltar. The Serbs, Croats, Greeks, Romanians and Bulgarians occupy Islamic lands. Spain occupies Andalusia, Sabta and Maleela. The Italians occupy Sicily, the land of Al- Aghaliba. The islands of the Mediterranean sea are all occupied and they are Islamic lands. The Philippines occupies Islamic lands and Burma does likewise. The Jewish state occupies Palestine which is part of the frontiers of Bilad Ash-Sham. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said the truth when he said:

"众民族将彼此呼唤来对付你们，犹如进食者彼此呼唤来围食大盆。"有人说："难道那时是因为我们人少吗？"他说："不，那时你们虽然众多，却如急流上的泡沫一般。安拉将从你们敌人的心中夺去对你们的畏惧，并将'瓦哈努'投入你们的心中。"有人说："安拉的使者啊，什么是'瓦哈努'？"他说："爱恋今世，并畏惧死亡。"（阿布·达乌德从萨figure 赛班处传述）

"The nations are on the verge of summoning each other over you, as the eaters summon each other over their large bowl." So a speaker said: "Is it due to our small number on that day?" He said: "No, rather that day you will be many, but you will be foam like the foam of the torrent. Allah will remove from the chests of your enemies the fear of you and Allah will cast 'al-wahan' in your hearts. A speaker said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what is 'al-wahan'?' He said: 'Loving the world and the fear of death'" (narrated by Abu Dawud from Thawban).

尽管这一痛苦的现实足以证明信奉kufr文明者与穆斯林之间的斗争，但这并不妨碍人们与那些与他们的思想家斗争的人，即信奉kufr文明者中的人，共同印证这一观点。

Despite this painful reality that suffices to prove the struggles of the followers of kuffr civilizations with Muslims, it does not however hinder corroborating this idea with those who are struggling against their thinkers i.e., from the followers of the civilizations of kufr.

---尼克松在其著作《不战而胜》中写道:"真正的荣耀并非来自回避冲突,而是来自为我们的原则、利益和价值观而战,哪怕置身于它的喧嚣之中。我们必须抛弃对世界运行方式的幻想。美国人倾向于相信冲突是不自然的,各国人民从根本上是相似的,而分歧源于误解,并且持久而全面的和平是可以实现的目标。然而历史驳斥了这些观点,因为每个国家在根本特质、历史经验和意识形态动机上都彼此不同。这些方面通常会引发冲突。利益冲突是根源,我们从中理解到,一个没有冲突的世界只是空谈。然而,全面的和平是一种从未存在过、也永远不会存在的状态。"尼克松还写道:"有利的机会":"当某项利益的丧失取决于美利坚合众国的存在时,这项利益便是至关重要的。西欧、日本、加拿大、墨西哥和海湾国家的持续独立,是我们安全的生死攸关之事。同样,我们在确保欠发达国家不获得核武器方面也有着至关重要的利益。美国别无选择,只能动用武装力量来防止对其利益的威胁……为了保护受威胁的民主政府,例如以色列和韩国的政府,我们准备在必要时动用军事力量。"

---Nixon says in his book 'Victor without War': "Real glory does not come from avoiding conflict, but rather from doing its tumult fighting for our principles, interests, and values. We must discard our delusions about how the world runs. Americans incline to believe that conflict is unnatural, that the peoples of every nation are fundamentally similar, while differences are due to misunderstanding, and that permanent and comprehensive peace is an attainable goal. History however refutes these views, because each nation differs from another in fundamental characteristics, historical experience and ideological motivation. These are aspects that normally bring conflicts. Conflicting interests are the root that we understand each side from the existence of a world without conflicts is mere rhetoric. However, comprehensive peace is a state that has never existed and nor will it ever." Nixon also says: "The Favourable Opportunity": "The interest is vital when its loss is dependent on the existence of the United States. The continuous independence of western Europe, Japan, Canada, Mexico and the Gulf states is a vital issue for our security. Likewise, we have a vital interest in ensuring that under-developed countries do not obtain nuclear weapons. The US has no choice except using the armed forces to prevent the threat to its interests... In order to protect the threatened democratic governments, like in Israel and South Korea, we are prepared to use military force if necessary.".

1980年1月23日，卡特向美国国会发表了一次“国情咨文”演说，其中他说道：“然而，我们的立场是完全明确的。任何外部势力企图主宰海湾地区，都将被视为对美国重大利益的攻击。对于这种侵略，美国将动用一切必要手段加以击退，包括军事手段。”

On 23/1/1980 Carter delivered a 'State of the Union' address to the American Congress, and of what he said: "However, our position is completely clear. Any attempt from any external power to dominate the Gulf region will be considered an attack on the vital interests of the United States. Such aggression will be repelled by the use of any necessary means including military.".

1990年2月11日，亨利·基辛格在《耶迪欧特·阿哈罗诺特》报上发表了一篇题为《美国，你将失去威慑力》的文章，其中他写道："军事选择无疑是痛苦而艰难的。它可能激起伊斯兰国家的示威，并点燃新一轮恐怖主义浪潮。然而，这些危险必须与更遥远未来的危险相权衡——那时，如果美国的软弱迹象导致该地区温和政权的崩溃，紧张局势将加剧，并导致一切体系的终结。"

On 2/11/1990 Henry Kissinger published an article in Yediot Ahronot under the headline, "America, You will Lose Deterrent Force", and of what he said therein: "The military option is without doubt painful and difficult. It can incite demonstrations in Islamic countries and release the spark of new waves of terrorism. However, these dangers must be compared against the dangers of a more distant future at a time if the signs of American weakness lead to the collapse of moderate governments in the region, escalating the tension and the end of all systems.".

2001年9月18日，《美国人报》（Amerikatan）在网上刊登了一篇访谈，受访者是詹姆斯·施莱辛格（James Schlesinger），他曾任尼克松的国家安全顾问和国防部长，目前任职于战略与国际问题研究中心。他说："铲除这些网络需要美国的决心。需要一种强大的决心，而这种决心来自他们对自身立场的坚定信念。"

On 18/9/2001, it was published in the (Amerikatan) newspaper, on the internet an interview with James Schlesinger, Nixon’s national security advisor and former Defense Secretary who currently works in the Center for Strategic and International Studies. He said: "Uprooting these networks requires the determination of the United States. It requires strong determination resulting from their strong belief in their position.".

在半岛电视台的节目《世纪第一场战争》中,节目主持人引用《华盛顿邮报》的报道,称亨利·基辛格在题为《复仇并非足够的回应》的文章中说:“必须面对所发生的事情,对产生这一威胁的体系发动攻击。”

On the programme 'First War of the Century' on Al-Jazeera, the presenter of the programme quoted from the Washington Post that Henry Kissinger said under the title "Revenge is not Sufficient Response": "It is necessary to face what happened with an attack against the system that produced this threat.".

前北约（北大西洋公约组织）秘书长克劳斯正式宣布，该联盟已将伊斯兰教而非前苏联视为其敌对的目标。BBCOnline.net于2001年9月17日引述布什总统的话说："这场十字军东征，这场反恐战争，将会持续很长一段时间。"

The former Secretary (General) of the NATO alliance, Claus, formally announced that the alliance endorsed Islam in the place of the former Soviet Union, as a target for its enmity. BBCOnline.net quoted from President Bush on 17/9/2001 his saying: "This crusade, this war upon terror will be for a long period.".

塞缪尔·亨廷顿在美国杂志《外交事务》（Foreign Affairs）的一篇文章中说："西方与伊斯兰之间这种延续了数个世纪的军事对抗，几乎没有减弱的可能。相反，预计它将变得更加残酷和激烈。"

Samuel Huntington says in his article in the American magazine Foreign Affairs: "There is little possibility this continuous military confrontation between the West and Islam since many centuries will weaken. Rather it is expected that it will increase in viciousness and severity.".

西蒙·佩雷斯在其著作《新中东》中写道:"我们决心为该地区带来和平,但我们无法让那些在流散中生活了五代、遭受了五十代压迫、折磨与灭绝的人们放弃这片土地。我们必须重新争取独立,保障我们的安全,并有尊严、有荣誉地生活……"

Shimon Peres said in his book The New Middle East: "We are determined to bring peace to the region, but we will not be able to induce to abandon this land their fifth generations of living in the Diaspora, fifty generations of suppression, torment and annihilation. We will have to renew our independence, guarantee our safety and live with dignity and honour...".

史蒂夫·邓利维在纽约邮报上针对周二发生的事件说道："杀光这些混蛋，训练刺客，组建新的雇佣兵，拨出数百万美元去猎取他们的头颅，把他们一网打尽。至于那些庇护这些蛀虫的城市，就用炸弹轰炸他们的篮球场。"

Steve Dunleavy said in the New York Post journal after the incident of Tuesday: "Kill the bastards, train assassins, create new mercenaries and earmark millions of dollars to hunt the heads and bring them down. In relation to the cities who host these worms, bomb them with bombs in basketball playgrounds."
