See, here’s the problem. Arabs are going to have trouble selling that “Islam is a religion of peace” thing, as long as none of Islam’s leaders speak out against poisonous soul-rotting insanity like this, from a Friday sermon on Palestinian television:

“We are convinced of the [future] victory of Allah; we believe that one of these days, we will enter Jerusalem as conquerors, enter Jaffa as conquerors, enter Haifa as conquerors, enter Ramle and Lod as conquerors, the [villages of] Hirbiya and Dir Jerjis and all of Palestine as conquerors, as Allah has decreed… ‘They will enter Al-Aqsa Mosque as they have entered it the first time…”

It’s amazing how, just when you think guys like this Imam and his numerous loudmouthed buddies can’t possibly get any more batshit psychotic, they proceed to whip it out:

Jesus’s pure hands will murder the false Jewish messiah. Where? In the city of Lod, in Palestine. Palestine will be, as it was in the past, a graveyard for the invaders – just as it was a graveyard for the Tatars and to the Crusader invaders, [and for the invaders] of the old and new colonialism…”

Jesus Christ: the pure-handed Jew-killer. With graveyards everywhere. What a peaceful vision. Excuse me while I vomit.

And once they finish wiping out the Jews…

“A reliable Hadith [tradition] says: ‘The Jews will fight you, but you will be set to rule over them.’ What could be more beautiful than this tradition? ‘The Jews will fight you’ – that is, the Jews have begun to fight us. ‘You will be set to rule over them’ – Who will set the Muslim to rule over the Jew? Allah… Until the Jew hides behind the rock and the tree.”

“But the rock and tree will say: ‘Oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, a Jew hides behind me, come and kill him.’ Except for the Gharqad tree, which is the tree of the Jews.”

…they plan to take their peaceful religion on a world tour:

“We believe in this Hadith. We are convinced also that this Hadith heralds the spread of Islam and its rule over all the land…”

“Oh beloved, look to the East of the earth, find Japan and the ocean; look to the West of the earth, find [some] country and the ocean. Be assured that these will be owned by the Muslim nation, as the Hadith says… ‘from the ocean to the ocean’…”

Those of you who are supporting the Palestinians in their terror war against Israel need to look deeply and honestly at statements like this. Is this what you want for the future? Is this what you want for your children?
