WHAT HAVE I DONE?
To all young idealists
I had an ideal.
I wanted to build an ideal state.
I followed the orders of others without wisdom.
Why didn’t I listen to my own conscience?
Why is it that, now I want to listen, I don’t hear my conscience anymore?
I consciously took the lives of as many as I could,
Mothers, children, young people like me,
For no strategic reason at all
And even bragged about this.
What was the strategic value of these killings?
Governments were not weakened by it, only more determined and united.
And the terror I tried to spread, turned into aggression
And many families in the Islamic quarters of the cities: Paris, London, Barcelona,
Were attacked by angry mobs.
What is left of my ideal?
The destroyed lives of my victims are haunting me already my whole life,
And will haunt me also thereafter, if I take the Prophet’s teachings seriously.
Is this what I wanted?
Is this what I was working for?
WHAT HAVE I DONE?
And what to do to make it right?
