We lived in the same time period as the martyrs, and we saw the martyrs up close. We saw their jihad, and we saw their martyrdom. You yourselves saw that 13-14-year-old teenager [martyr Marhamat Balahzadeh]. You saw his martyrdom, knew this, understood this, and everything is still before your eyes. The next generation will not see this with the same clarity and certainty. We need to think about them [the next generation].
