As long as the Germans are presum- ably Christians they have no right to murder the children of the Bel- gians and the French, to dishonor their women, or to bombard their cathedrals. No Mahometan would ever dishonor a Mohametan woman or intentionally destroy a mosque. Our Koran enjoins us to wage eternal war against giaours who say that God is Christ. But Germany has no right to act as though she were Ma- hometan. "People call us the tools of the Germans, but it is the Germans who are our tools. We needed a power- ful European ally for the triumph of our Moslem religion, and Germany was anxious to serve our purpose. They have served us in every capac- ity-they have furnished us with money ammunition, aeroplanes, sub- marines, battle-ships-but, neverthe- less, we despise them.
