Unyielding Spirit: The Power of Perseverance in the New Crusade

In recent discussions surrounding geopolitical tensions, the historical slogan “Deus Vult” (God wills it), which was famously used by the Crusaders in the 11th century, has resurfaced. Today, it manifests in the rhetoric of America’s far-right Christian movements as part of the “Holy War against Terrorism.” This revival exposes ongoing colonial ambitions cloaked in ideological language, particularly evident in the actions and appointments of political figures such as Donald Trump’s selection of Pat Hegseth as US Secretary of Defense. Hegseth’s call for a “return to the Crusader spirit” in his book American Crusade (2020) underscores a long-standing project to dominate the Islamic world. Even President Joe Biden, following the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, emphasized the need for America to brace itself against looming threats like the Axis of Resistance and China.

Chapter One: The Zionist-Crusader Blueprint… From Documents to Actions

• Western Literature as Evidence of Guilt
  • Hegseth’s book explicitly correlates the “War on Terror” with the “necessity of controlling the Islamic world.” This viewpoint resonates with Zionist documents such as The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which declare: “The Islamic world must be kept in perpetual conflict to ensure control over its resources.”
  • A 2023 report from the Zionist Atlanta Institute acknowledges: “The collapse of Syria and Iraq is key to controlling Islamic energy routes.”
• The Geopolitical Dimensions of the Conspiracy
  • Syria after Bashar al-Assad: WikiLeaks documents reveal that the U.S. ambassador in Damascus noted in 2010: “The fall of the Syrian regime will sever Iran’s link to Hezbollah.”
  • Normalization states as tools: The 2021 U.S. National Security Council report praised the Abraham Accords for “undermining the jihadist spirit of Palestinians through economic strangulation.”

Chapter Two: The Axis of Resistance… Analyzing the Structure of Perseverance

• The Ideological Foundation

  The doctrine of resistance is deeply rooted in the principles articulated by Imam Khomeini (RA), who proclaimed in 1979: “If we stand firm like a mountain, the enemy will not be able to shake us.” This philosophy has been instrumental in achieving victories such as the liberation of South Lebanon in 2000 and the tenacious defense in Gaza.

• Strategic Depth
  • Iraq: Martyr Qassem Soleimani reaffirmed: “The Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) are a barrier against ISIS and American plans.”
  • Yemen: A 2022 Pentagon document recognizes: “Ansarullah’s missiles have redefined the strategic balance in the Red Sea.”
• Soft Power Tools

  A 2023 RAND Corporation report highlights a concerning trend: “The discourse of resistance is expanding among European youth.”

Chapter Three: Exposing Western Contradictions… In Their Own Words

• From Evangelism to Secularism
  • Michael Hudson, in The New American Empire (2021), asserts: “Human rights are merely a pretext for plundering the Middle East.”
  • Evangelical pastor Jerry Falwell remarked on Fox News in 2020: “Supporting Israel is a religious duty!”
• Zionism as an Executive Arm

  Ehud Barak stated in 2018: “Any Arab country that normalizes relations will become a fortress protecting Israel.”

Conclusion: Resistance is Our Destiny… Because the Enemy Only Retreats Before Strength

In the current landscape, the West continues its Crusade using modern tools, including:

• Military Power: Through the establishment of U.S. military bases.
• Cultural Manipulation: Promoting misleading peace slogans.
• Economic Pressure: Imposing oppressive sanctions.

As Dr. Abdelwahab Elmessiri wisely noted: “The Crusades did not end through negotiations; they were defeated by resistance.” The spirit of “Hayhat minna al-dhilla” (Never to Humiliation) continues to thrive from Tehran to Beirut to Sanaa.

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has boldly warned the Zionist regime: “We will shoot down your aircraft… even if we have to sell our clothes to keep fighting!”
