Jihad Declared; Birth of a Nation
"...For too long have we suffered under the tyranny of the German Empire and its puppet states, who ravage our land and deprive of us of our culture. They spit on our holy sites, and steal our precious resources. No more! Rise! Rise and drive the infidels back to the sea! Allahu Ackbar!"The Television Screen seemed to flicker as the aging Imam gave his rousing speech to the people of the Faith. The reporter neatly stacking her papers before turning back to the camera.
"And that concludes the message sent to us by Imam Abdul-Mu'izz al-Rashid, de facto spiritual leader of the recently established Kingdom of Krugis. Krugis was formed before the onset of war between the Japanese to oppose the formed Kingdom of Azadistan. Although the war seemed to distract the Europeans, the Krugis Militants expected a terrible offensive against their country when a build up of forces was detected in the Algeria. However, it seems in an uncharacteristic fashion the Empire has ignored the Rebel's long enough for them to grow stronger.
As apart of his wider message of Jihad, Imam Abdul-mu'izz al-Rashid calls upon all those of Middle Eastern descent to turn away from the European Empire and join them in their holy struggle, citing that all past transgressions will be forgiven. In an unsurprising move, both the American Union and the Empire of Japan have chosen to recognize and support the newly formed Kingdom of Krugis and recognize its existence as a sovereign nation."
