Bobby Ghosh: Why global jihad is losing

Translator: Joseph Geni Reviewer: Morton Bast

Translator: Karin Leivategija Reviewer: Aari Lemmik

Räägin teile ühe sõna jõust:

I'm going to talk about the power of a word:

džihaad.

jihad.

Suuremale osale tõsiusklikest moslemitest

To the vast majority of practicing Muslims,

tähendab džihaad sisemist võitlust usu eest.

jihad is an internal struggle for the faith.

Inimese sisemist võitlust pahede, patu,

It is a struggle within, a struggle against vice, sin,

kiusatuse, himu ja apluse vastu.

See on vaeva nägemine selle nimel,

temptation, lust, greed.

It is a struggle to try and live a life

et elada nii, nagu sätestavad Koraani moraalireeglid.

that is set by the moral codes written in the Koran.

Oma esialgses tähenduses on džihaad moslemitele sama oluline

In that original idea, the concept of jihad is as important

kui jumala arm on kristlastele.

to Muslims as the idea of grace is to Christians.

Džihaad on suure väega sõna, kui sellest aspektist vaadata,

It's a very powerful word, jihad, if you look at it in that respect,

millel on isegi teatud müstiline alatoon.

and there's a certain almost mystical resonance to it.

Sel põhjusel on moslemid juba aastasadu

oma lastele nimeks pannud Džihaad,

And that's the reason why, for hundreds of years,

nii tütardele kui poegadele,

Muslims everywhere have named their children Jihad,

samuti nagu kristlased panevad tütarde nimeks Grace

their daughters as much as their sons, in the same way

that, say, Christians name their daughters Grace,

ja hindud, minu rahvas, panevad tütardele nimeks Bhakti,

and Hindus, my people, name our daughters Bhakti,

mis tähendab sanskriti keeles sügavat sisemist usu.

which means, in Sanskrit, spiritual worship.

Aga moslemite seas on alati olnud neid,

But there have always been, in Islam, a small group,

kes usuvad, et džihaad pole vaid sisemine vaid ka väljapoole suunatud võitlus

a minority, who believe that jihad

is not only an internal struggle but also an external struggle

selliste jõudude vastu,

mis ohustavad usku või usklikke.

against forces that would threaten the faith, or the faithul.

Ja mõned arvavad, et sellises võitluses

And some of these people believe that in that struggle,

tohib vahel kasutada ka relva.

it is sometimes okay to take up arms.

Sedasi mõtlesid tuhanded noored moslemid,

kes suundusid 1980ndatel Afganistani,

And so the thousands of young Muslim men

et võidelda Nõukogude Liidu vastu, kes oli okupeerinud islamiriigi.

who flocked to Afghanistan in the 1980s

to fight against the Soviet occupation of a Muslim country,

Nad uskusid, et peavad püha sõda,

in their minds they were fighting a jihad,

nende siht oli džihaad

ja nad nimetasid end mudžahediinideks,

they were doing jihad,

and they named themselves the Mujahideen,

mis on tuletatud samas sõnast kui džihaad.

which is a word that comes from the same root as jihad.

Seda ei mäletata enam, aga tollal

peeti mudžahediinidest siin Ameerikas väga lugu.

And we forget this now, but back then

the Mujahideen were celebrated in this country, in America.

Pidasime neid pühasõdalasteks, kes võitlesid uskmatute kommunistide vastu.

We thought of them as holy warriors who were taking

the good fight to the ungodly communists.

Ameerika andis neile relvi, raha, toetas ja julgustas neid.

America gave them weapons, gave them money,

gave them support, encouragement.

Aga selles grupis oli üks väiksem grupp,

väiksem vähemus sellest vähemusest,

But within that group, a tiny, smaller group,

a minority within a minority within a minority,

kes käivitas uue vägivaldse versiooni

were coming up with a new and dangerous

džihaadi kontseptsioonist.

conception of jihad,

Ühel hetkel sai selle grupi juhiks Osama bin Laden,

and in time this group would come to be led by Osama bin Laden,

ta arendas seda ideed edasi.

Tema tähenduses oli džihaad ülemaailmne terrorisõda

and he refined the idea.

His idea of jihad was a global war of terror,

kaugemal asuva vaenlase vastu,

Lääne ristisõdalaste ja Ameerika vastu.

primarily targeted at the far enemy,

at the crusaders from the West, against America.

Ja see, mida ta džihaadi nimel tegi

And the things he did in the pursuit of this jihad

oli nii kohutav ja jube

were so horrendous, so monstrous,

ja avaldas sedavõrd suurt mõju,

et tema džihaadi versiooni hakatigi pidama selleks tõeliseks.

and had such great impact,

that his definition was the one that stuck,

Ja mitte ainult siin Läänes.

Ega me teistsugust teadnudki, ega võtnud ka vaevaks asja uurida.

not just here in the West.

We didn't know any better. We didn't pause to ask.

Eeldasime, et kui see hull ja tema psühhopaatidest jüngrid

We just assumed that if this insane man and his psychopathic followers

nimetavad oma tegevust džihaadiks, siis seda džihaad tähendabki.

were calling what they did jihad, then that's what jihad must mean.

Ja nii ei mõelnud mitte ainult meie siin.

But it wasn't just us. Even in the Muslim world,

Isegi islamiriikides võeti omaks tema definitsiooni džihaadist.

his definition of jihad began to gain acceptance.

Aasta tagasi kohtusin Tuneesias

ühe väga väikese mošee imaamiga, ta oli vana mees.

A year ago I was in Tunis, and I met the imam

Viisteist aastat tagasi pani ta oma lapselapsele nimeks Džihaad

of a very small mosque, an old man.

Fifteen years ago, he named his granddaughter Jihad,

selle sõna algse tähenduse järgi.

Ta lootis, et selline nimi inspireerib tüdrukut elama usklikku elu.

after the old meaning. He hoped that a name like that

would inspire her to live a spiritual life.

Aga ta ütles, et pärast 9/11 sündmusi

hakkas ta kahtlema.

But he told me that after 9/11,

Ta kartis, et kui ta kutsub tüdrukut selle nimega

he began to have second thoughts.

eriti kuskil väljas, avalikus kohas

He worried that if he called her by that name,

võidakse arvata, et ta toetab bin Ladeni stiilis džihaadi.

especially outdoors, outside in public,

he might be seen as endorsing bin Laden's idea of jihad.

Reedeste jutluste ajal mošees

üritas ta taastada selle sõna algset tähendust,

On Fridays in his mosque, he gave sermons

trying to reclaim the meaning of the word,

aga koguduse liikmed, kes mošees käisid,

but his congregants, the people who came to his mosque,

olid näinud videoid.

Nad olid näinud tornidesse lendavaid lennukeid ja tornide langemist.

they had seen the videos. They had seen pictures

of the planes going into the towers, the towers coming down.

Nad olid kuulnud bin Ladeni ütlemas, et see ongi džihaad

ja end võitjaks kuulutamas.

They had heard bin Laden say that that was jihad,

Ja nii oli sel vanal imaamil mure, et ta räägib kurtidele kõrvadele,

and claimed victory for it. And so the old imam worried

et keegi ei kuula teda.

that his words were falling on deaf ears. No one was paying attention.

Ta eksis.

Mõni siiski pani tähele, aga valel põhjusel.

He was wrong. Some people were paying attention,

USA oli tollal ajal avaldamas survet

but for the wrong reasons.

The United States, at this point, was putting pressure

oma araabia liitlastele, ka Tuneesiale,

et nad suruksid maha äärmusliikumise oma riigis.

on all its Arab allies, including Tunisia,

to stamp out extremism in their societies,

Ja see imaam avastas äkki, et ta on sihikule võetud

and this imam found himself suddenly in the crosshairs

Tuneesia luureteenistuse poolt.

Varem ei olnud nad tema vastu huvi tundunud -

of the Tunisian intelligence service.

vana mees, väike mošee -

They had never paid him any attention before --

old man, small mosque --

aga nüüd hakkasid nad teda külastama

ja vahel veeti teda ülekuulamistele,

but now they began to pay visits,

kus esitati alati sama küsimus:

and sometimes they would drag him in for questions,

"Miks sa panid oma lapselapsele nimeks Džihaad?

and always the same question:

"Why did you name your granddaughter Jihad?

Miks sa kasutad jätkuvalt sõna "džihaad" oma reedestel jutlustel?

Why do you keep using the word jihad in your Friday sermons?

Kas sa vihkad ameeriklasi?

Milline on sinu side Osama bin Ladeniga?"

Do you hate Americans?

What is your connection to Osama bin Laden?"

Tuneesia luureteenistusele

ja sarnastele organisatsioonidele mujal araabiamaades

So to the Tunisian intelligence agency,

and organizations like it all over the Arab world,

võrdus džihaad äärmusliikumisega.

jihad equaled extremism,

Bin Ladeni definitsioon oli institutsionaliseeritud.

Bin Laden's definition had become institutionalized.

Selle sõna vägi võimaldas tal seda teha.

That was the power of that word that he was able to do.

Ja see tegi vana imaami väga kurvaks.

And it filled this old imam, it filled him with great sadness.

Ta ütles, et bin Ladeni arvukate kuritegude seas, oli just see see üks,

He told me that, of bin Laden's many crimes, this was,

millele ei pööratud piisavalt tähelepanu

in his mind, one that didn't get enough attention,

Et bin Laden lihtsalt võttis selle sõna, selle kauni mõtte

that he took this word, this beautiful idea.

ja mitte niivõrd ei omastanud seda,

He didn't so much appropriate it as kidnapped it

vaid röövis, moonutas ja rikkus selle ära.

and debased it and corrupted it

ning andis sõnale tähenduse, mida see kunagi polnud tähendanud.

and turned it into something it was never meant to be,

ja siis veenis ta kõiki,

et see on alati olnud globaalne džihaad.

and then persuaded all of us that it always was

a global jihad.

Aga hea uudis on see,

But the good news is

et globaalne džihaad nagu bin Laden seda defineeris, on peaaegi läbi.

that the global jihad is almost over, as bin Laden defined it.

See hakkas hääbuma ammu enne seda kui ta ise suri

ja nüüd on lõpp lähedal.

It was dying well before he did,

Arvamusuuringud islamimaades näitavad,

and now it's on its last legs.

et moslemid ei ole huvitatud

Opinion polls from all over the Muslim world show

that there is very little interest among Muslims

ülemaailmsest pühast sõjast Lääne vastu,

selle kauge vaenlase vastu.

in a global holy war against the West,

against the far enemy.

Meeste hulk, kes on valmis selle nimel võitlema ja surema, kahaneb.

The supply of young men willing to fight and die for this cause is dwindling.

Mis sama oluline, rahastamine,

sellise tegevuse finantseerimine väheneb samuti.

The supply of money — just as important, more important perhaps —

Rikkad fanaatikud, kes varem seesugust tegevust sponsoreerisid,

the supply of money to this activity is also dwindling.

The wealthy fanatics who were previously

on oma rahakotiraudu koomale tõmmanud.

sponsoring this kind of activity are now less generous.

Mida see tähendab meie jaoks siin Läänes?

Kas võime avada šampanjapudelid,

What does that mean for us in the West?

Does it mean we can break out the champagne,

pesta käed puhtaks, tagasi tõmbuda ja öösiti rahulikult magada?

wash our hands of it, disengage, sleep easy at night?

Ei.

Tagasitõmbuda ei saa,

No. Disengagement is not an option,

sest kui lasta püsida kohalikul džihaadil

because if you let local jihad survive,

saab sellest rahvusvaheline džihaad.

Ja nii ongi üle kogu maailma

it becomes international jihad.

And so there's now a lot of different

tekkinud mitmeid vägivaldseid džihaade.

Somaalias, Malis, Nigeerias, Iraagis,

violent jihads all over the world.

In Somalia, in Mali, in Nigeria,

Afganistanis ja Pakistanis on grupeeringuid,

in Iraq, in Afghanistan, Pakistan, there are groups that claim

kes nimetavad end bin Ladeni mantlipärijateks.

to be the inheritors of the legacy of Osama bin Laden.

Nad kasutavad tema retoorikat.

Nad kasutavad isegi tema loodud džihaadi brändi nime.

They use his rhetoric.

They even use the brand name he created for his jihad.

Nüüd on Al Qaeda kohal islamistlikus Maghrebis,

So there is now an al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb,

Al Qaeda on kohal Araabia poolsaarel,

Al Qaeda on kohal Mesopotaamias.

there's an al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula,

On ka teisi grupeeringuid: Boko Haram Nigeerias,

there is an al Qaeda in Mesopotamia.

Al Shabaab Somaalias - ja nad kõik kummardavad Osama bin Ladenit.

There are other groups -- in Nigeria, Boko Haram,

in Somalia, al Shabaab -- and they all pay homage to Osama bin Laden.

Aga kui vaadata lähemalt, siis selgub,

et nende džihaad ei ole globaalne.

But if you look closely,

Nende võitlus toimub palju kitsamate teemade pärast.

they're not fighting a global jihad.

They're fighting battles over much narrower issues.

Tavaliselt on probleem kas rahvuses, rassis või sektis

Usually it has to do with ethnicity or race or sectarianism,

või on tegu lihtsalt võimuvõitlusega.

Enamasti ongi see võimuvõitlus ühes riigis

or it's a power struggle.

või riigi mõnes väiksemas piirkonnas.

More often than not, it's a power struggle

in one country, or even a small region within one country.

Vahel minnakse ka üle piiride,

Iraagist Süüriasse, Malist Alžeeriasse,

Occasionally they will go across a border,

from Iraq to Syria, from Mali to Algeria,

Somaaliast Keeniasse,

aga see pole üleilmne džihaad mõne kauge vaenlase vastu.

from Somalia to Kenya, but they're not fighting

a global jihad against some far enemy.

Siiski ei tähenda see,

But that doesn't mean

et võiksime puhata.

Olin hiljuti Jeemenis, kus -

that we can relax.

seal asub viimane Al Qaeda haru,

I was in Yemen recently, where -- it's the home

of the last al Qaeda franchise

mis endiselt tahab Ameerikat ja Läänt rünnata.

that still aspires to attack America, attack the West.

See on vana kooli Al Qaeda.

Võib-olla mäletate neid?

It's old school al Qaeda.

Nad üritasid siia saata aluspüksi-pommimehe

You may remember these guys.

They are the ones who tried to send the underwear bomber here,

ja õhtuasid internetis vägivalda

and they were using the Internet to try and instigate

Ameerika moslemite seas.

Aga nad on viimasel ajal tagasi tõmbunud.

violence among American Muslims.

Mullu võtsid nad kontrolli alla piirkonna Jeemeni lõunaosas

But they have been distracted recently.

Last year, they took control over a portion of southern Yemen,

ja valitsesid seda Talibani stiilis.

Aga peale seda kui Jeemeni sõjavägi end kokku võttis

and ran it, Taliban-style.

ja kui kohalikud neile vastu hakkasid ja minema lõid,

And then the Yemeni military got its act together,

and ordinary people rose up against these guys

on suurem osa nende tegevusest

and drove them out, and since then, most of their activities,

ja rünnakutest suunatud jeemenlaste vastu.

most of their attacks have been directed at Yemenis.

Ilmselt ongi nüüd käes see hetk, kus saame öelda,

So I think we've come to a point now where we can say

et nii nagu igasugune poliitika, on ka džihaad tegelikult kohalik.

that, just like all politics, all jihad is local.

Siiski ei anna see õigust end taandada,

But that's still not reason for us to disengage,

sest seda filmi oleme juba näinud, Afganistanis.

because we've seen that movie before, in Afghanistan.

Kui mudžahediinid Nõukogude Liidu üle võidu saavutasid,

When those Mujahideen defeated the Soviet Union,

ei tegelenud me enam sellega.

Ja enne veel kui šampanjamullid lahtusid,

we disengaged.

And even before the fizz had gone out of our celebratory champagne,

haaras Taliban Kabulis võimu,

mille peale meil öeldi, et kohalik džihaad pole meie probleem.

the Taliban had taken over in Kabul,

and we said, "Local jihad, not our problem."

Aga siis Taliban andis Kandahari võtmed Osama bin Ladenile

And then the Taliban gave the keys of Kandahar

ja tema tegi sellest meie probleemi.

to Osama bin Laden. He made it our problem.

Kui kohalikku džihaadi ignoreerida saab sellest globaalne džihaad.

Local jihad, if you ignore it, becomes global jihad again.

Nii aga ei pea see tingimata minema.

The good news is that it doesn't have to be.

Teame nüüd, kuidas võidelda.

On olemas vahendid ja oskused,

We know how to fight it now.

saame kasutada seniseid kogemusi globaalse džihaadi vastases võitluses,

We have the tools. We have the knowhow,

and we can take the lessons we've learned

kui võitsime globaalse džihaadi,

from the fight against global jihad, the victory against global jihad,

ning kasutada samu võtteid kohaliku džihaadi lõpetamiseks.

and apply those to local jihad.

Mis õppetunnid need on?

Me teame, kes tappis bin Ladeni:

What are those lessons? We know who killed bin Laden:

SEAL Team Six.

Aga kas teame ja mõistame, kes tegi lõpu binladenismile?

SEAL Team Six.

Do we know, do we understand, who killed bin Ladenism?

Kes tegi lõpu globaalsele džihaadile?

Who ended the global jihad?

See annab ka võtme kohaliku džihaadi seljatamiseks.

There lie the answers to the solution to local jihad.

Kes tegi lõpu binladenismile? Alustame bin Ladenist endast.

Who killed bin Ladenism? Let's start with bin Laden himself.

Ta ilmselt uskus, et 9/11 terrorirünnak oli tema suurim saavutus.

Tegelikult oli see tema lõpu algus.

He probably thought 9/11 was his greatest achievement.

In reality, it was the beginning of the end for him.

Ta tappis 3000 süütut inimest, see täitis

islamimaailma õuduse ja vastumeelsusega,

He killed 3,000 innocent people, and that filled

the Muslim world with horror and revulsion,

mis tähendas, et tema tüüpi džihaad

and what that meant was that his idea of jihad

ei võinud iial saada peavooluks.

Ta taandas end ise marginaalseks hulluks

could never become mainstream.

He condemned himself to operating on the lunatic fringes

omaenda kogukonnas.

of his own community.

9/11 mitte ei tõstnud teda troonile vaid kukutas ta.

9/11 didn't empower him; it doomed him.

Kes tappis binladenismi? See oli Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

Who killed bin Ladenism? Abu Musab al-Zarqawi killed it.

Ta oli Iraagi Al Qaeda erakordselt sadistlik liider,

saates sadu enesetaputerroriste ründama

He was the especially sadistic head of al Qaeda in Iraq

who sent hundreds of suicide bombers to attack

mitte ameeriklasi vaid iraaklasi,

moslemeid, nii sunnisid kui ka šiiite.

not Americans but Iraqis. Muslims. Sunni as well as Shiites.

Pilt, mille Al Qaeda oli maalinud endast kui islami kaitsjaist

Any claim that al Qaeda had to being protectors of Islam

Lääne ristirüütlite vastu

uputati iraagi moslemite verre.

against the Western crusaders

was drowned in the blood of Iraqi Muslims.

Kes tappis Osama bin Ladeni?

SEAL Team Six.

Who killed Osama bin Laden? The SEAL Team Six.

Kes tappis binladenismi? Al Jazeera.

Al Jazeera ja mitmed araabiakeelsed satelliit uudistekanalid,

Who killed bin Ladenism? Al Jazeera did,

Al Jazeera and half a dozen other satellite news stations in Arabic,

sest nad muutusid palju vaadatavamaks

because they circumvented the old, state-owned

kui vanad riiklikud telekanalid,

television stations in a lot of these countries

mille eesmärk oli pigem info tõkestamine.

Al Jazeera levitas infot ja näitas inimestele,

which were designed to keep information from people.

Al Jazeera brought information to them, showed them

mida religiooni sildi all tegelikult räägiti ja tehti

what was being said and done in the name of their religion,

paljastas Osama bin Ladeni ja Al Qaeda silmakirjalikkuse

exposed the hypocrisy of Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda,

ja pakkus infot, mis võimaldas inimestel teha oma järeldused.

and allowed them, gave them the information

that allowed them to come to their own conclusions.

Kes tappis binladenismi? Araabia kevad,

Who killed bin Ladenism? The Arab Spring did,

sest see näitas noortele moslemitele võimalusi,

because it showed a way for young Muslims

kuidas algatada muutusi viisil,

to bring about change

mida Osama bin Laden oma limiteeritud kujutlusvõimega

poleks iial osanud ettekujutada.

in a manner that Osama bin Laden, with his

limited imagination, could never have conceived.

Kes alistas globaalse džihaadi? Ameerika sõjavägi,

Ameerika sõdurid koos oma liitlastega,

Who defeated the global jihad? The American military did,

võideldes kaugetel lahinguväljadel.

the American soldiers did, with their allies,

fighting in faraway battlefields.

Ehk kunagi saavad nad selle eest ka väljateenitud tunnustuse.

And perhaps, a time will come when they get the rightful credit for it.

Kõik need faktorid ja veel mitmed teised -

praegu ei pruugi neid täielikult mõistagi,

So all these factors, and many more besides,

kõikide nende faktorite summa tõi kaasa

we don't even fully understand some of them yet,

koletisliku binladenismi nurjamise,

these came together

to defeat a monstrosity as big as bin Ladenism,

globaalsele džihaadile lõpu tegemine nõudis ühist pingutust.

the global jihad, you needed this group effort.

Kõik ei pruugi samuti toimida kohaliku džihaadi alistamisel.

Ameerika sõjavägi ei lähe Nigeeriasse,

Now, not all of these things will work in local jihad.

The American military is not going to march into Nigeria

Boko Haramit hävitama.

Samuti on ebatõenäoline, et SEAL Team Six

to take on Boko Haram,

tungib al Shabaabi liidrite kodudesse ja lööks nad maha.

and it's unlikely that SEAL Team Six will rappel

into the homes of al Shabaab's leaders and take them out.

Aga mitmed teised faktorid, mis aitasid kaasa,

But many of these other factors that were in play

on nüüdseks tugevamadki kui varem. Pool tööd on juba tehtud.

are now even stronger than before. Half the work is already done.

Pole vaja hakata jalgratast leiutama.

Vägivaldne džihaad, mis on surmanud rohkem moslemeid

We don't have to reinvent the wheel.

The notion of violent jihad in which more Muslims are killed

kui teisi, on pälvinud täieliku hukkamõistu.

than any other kind of people is already thoroughly discredited.

Seda juurde pole vaja tagasi minna.

We don't have to go back to that.

Satelliittelevisioon ja internet pakuvad noortele moslemitele

Satellite television and the Internet are informing

palju põnevaid uusi võimalusi.

and empowering young Muslims in exciting new ways.

Tänu Araabia kevadele on võimule tulnud uued valitsused,

mitmed neist islamistlikud valitsused,

And the Arab Spring has produced governments,

kes teavad, et püsimajäämiseks

many of them Islamist governments,

tuleb neil enda äärmuslased ette võtta.

who know that, for their own self-preservation,

they need to take on the extremists in their midsts.

Neid pole vaja veenda, kuid neid tuleb aidata,

We don't need to persuade them, but we do need to help them,

sest neil puudub sarnane kogemus.

because they haven't really come to this place before.

Hea uudis aga on taas, et meil on see juba olemas

The good news, again, is that a lot of the things they need

mis neil vaja oleks. Ja me oskame seda jagada:

we already have, and we are very good at giving:

majanduslikku abi - mitte ainult raha vaid ka teadmisi,

economic assistance, not just money, but expertise,

tehnoloogiat, oskusteavet,

erainvesteeringud, aus kaubandus,

technology, knowhow,

private investment, fair terms of trade,

meditsiin, haridus, tehniline abi politsei väljaõppeks,

medicine, education, technical support for training

et muuta politseid efektiivsemaks

for their police forces to become more effective,

ja terrorivastaseid üksusi tõhusamaks.

for their anti-terror forces to become more efficient.

Meil on seda kõike küllaga.

On ka teisi asju, mida nad vajaksid,

We've got plenty of these things.

aga mida me ei oska pakkuda. Võib-olla ei oska seda mitte keegi.

Some of the other things that they need

we're not very good at giving. Maybe nobody is.

Aeg, kannatlikkus, delikaatsus, mõistmine,

Time, patience, subtlety, understanding --

neid on palju raskem anda.

Ma elan praegu New Yorgis.

these are harder to give.

Just sel nädalal on New Yorgi metroosse ilmunud plakatid,

I live in New York now. Just this week,

mis näitavad džihaadi kui metsikust.

posters have gone up in subway stations in New York

that describe jihad as savage.

Siiski ei ole ma nende aastate jooksul, mil olen Lähis-Ida sündmusi kajastanud,

But in all the many years that I have covered the Middle East,

olnud niivõrd lootusrikas kui praegu,

I have never been as optimistic as I am today

et lõhe islami- ja läänemaailma vahel

that the gap between the Muslim world and the West

kahaneb kiiresti.

Üks minu optimismi paljudest põhjustest

is narrowing fast,

on teadmine, et on miljoneid, sadu miljoneid inimesi,

and one of the many reasons for my optimism

is that, because I know there are millions,

selliseid moslemeid nagu too vana imaam Tuneesias

hundreds of millions of people, Muslims like that old imam

kes annavad sellele sõnale tagasi

in Tunis, who are reclaiming this word

selle esialgse ülla tähenduse.

and restoring to its original, beautiful purpose.

Bin Laden on surnud. Binladenism on võidetud.

Tema versiooni džihaadist võib välja visata.

Bin Laden is dead. Bin Ladenism has been defeated.

His definition of jihad can now be expunged.

Sellele džihaadile saab öelda: "Hüvasti. Head teed sul minna."

To that jihad we can say, "Goodbye. Good riddance."

Ja päris džihaadile saame öelda: "Tere tulemast tagasi. Palju edu!"

To the real jihad we can say, "Welcome back. Good luck."

Aitäh.

(Aplaus)

Thank you. (Applause)
