men, both members of the elite Janissary Corps. They were wearing black uniforms with silver lapel pins of a scimitar and a severed head. Like the SPS, they wore the Ohmshidi âOâ logo armbands around their left arms, and they stood at parade rest, staring unblinkingly straight ahead.
âMy fellow citizens of the American Islamic Republic of Enlightenment, I am speaking to you from Muslimabad, a city you once knew as Washington. I greet you in the name of Moqaddas Sirata , and swear my submission to this movement of enlightenment.
âSince you elected me to this office we have suffered much, but much has been accomplished. And, as a woman must go through much pain to deliver a child, so too have we gone through pain, to deliver a new nation.
âYes, my fellow citizens, we, you and I, have set forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in obedience, and dedicated to the principle of holy submission. No longer are we a warlike nation imposing our will upon the rest of the world. No longer are we a society separated by a great gap between the wealthy and the poor. No longer are we a nation separated by apostates who practice heresy in the false religions of Christianity and Judaism, or even those misguided Muslims who have not yet found their way to enlightenment. For now, there is only Moqaddas Sirata . . . the true religion of Enlightenment.
âThis wonderful change in our country was made possible by the brave jihadists who martyred themselves by detonating nuclear weapons to bring us into the light. Now we are an Islamic nation obedient to Moqaddas Sirata , and we are an equal partner in a growing international caliphate that will one day bring the entire world into holy submission.
âI am pleased to tell you that gradually our country is recovering from the turmoil it went through during its birth. We are printing new currency, to be called Moqaddas, which will be backed by our government, and accepted on the international market. In many parts of our country electricity has been restored, as you well know since you are watching this very television show.
âFuel is again being delivered. Telephone service has been restored, some television and radio broadcasts have returned to the airwaves, and soon, more programs will be available. I am also pleased to report that distribution of food and durable goods is under way. If distribution has not reached your area yet, it soon will.
âYou will also see that law and order is being returned, as I am greatly increasing the size and the scope of the State Protective Service. Soon you will be able to enjoy the safety and security of having men of the SPS patrolling your neighborhood. You will find comfort in knowing that the men who wear the forest green and gold uniforms will maintain peace and stability throughout the land.
âNow that I have told you of the wonderful things that are coming, I must tell you how you can enjoy the fruits of these developments. It is very simple, and it is something that I know most of you will want to do, because with your own eyes you have seen the benefits to be derived. So that you may take advantage of the newly emerging economy, I am asking you to denounce any former religion you may have practiced. It is an absolute requirement that you do this, and that you convert to Islam, and become obedient to Moqaddas Sirata .
âIn order to do that, it will be necessary for you to appear before a government official where you will swear allegiance to me, to the American Islamic Republic of Enlightenment, and to Moqaddas Sirata , the Holy Path. Once you are enrolled, you will be provided with identity passes which will allow you to be reconnected to electricity and running water, and will enable you to purchase gasoline, food, and everything that is necessary to help us establish our new nation.
âIn order to assure the peace and tranquility of our new nation, we will start by confiscating all
