Principles are the alternative of the politics current in the
international and regional arena. From our principles emanateour politics,
whether it pleases some or displeases others.
The End is for the righteous who strive and fight and persevere in
patience and shall have the lofty rank of Truth with the Lord of the
Worlds.
The politics oozing out of our principles has become the ideal for
every virtuous, free and honest individual in the Arab Homeland and
outside it. It has become the guiding landmark for everyone who strives
sincerely in defence of his nation and people and puts politics at their
service.

In the field of political activity, our relation to what is going on in
the region and the world is not other than fending off evil or siding with
anyone who needs our siding to sharpen his endeavour for himself and ease
his feeling of loneliness on the road - a feeling that has dispirited him
and rendered him incapable of crossing to the safe shore. This is done
with all the senses of honour, glory and obligation to faith that ought to
or must accompany the actions of those who shoulder the obligation faith
demands of those who have it. No change have we in this. Anyone who wants
to harmonize with us or understand us will have to alter what is wrong or
ill in word and deed. God will bear witness to what he really wants.
Therefore, Great People, I say that you are the prime of the present,
that the future is yours, and that your enemies and adversaries of your
principles and their objectives and ways will have nothing but shame.
God is Great!
And long live the Sixth of January of every year!
Long live those who bear the banner, title and honour of this Day!
May our Nation, our People and our Army enjoy prosperity on this
occasion every year!
