Once again we visit the mosques of the Arab world and listen to what the spiritual leaders of Islam are saying to the flock.

It ain’t “love thy neighbor.”

On the official television station of the Palestinian Authority, from Shaykh Ijlin mosque in Gaza:

An unidentified shaykh delivers the sermon. He praises God, the messenger, and his companions, saying that Almighty God “warns us of the Jews and their characters.” He also says God protected the prophet “from Jews’ cunning, treachery, and ideological terrorism.” The imam then congratulates those “who have won the confidence of the Palestinian Legislative Council and the brother president,” hoping that they will succeed in serving the people and the country. He says that the Koran and the prophet’s tradition brand the Jews “with arrogance, rampaging, treachery, and deception,” accusing them of “killing people, shedding blood, and triggering wars” on the blessed land of Palestine. Therefore, he says, God “transformed them into monkeys and pigs,” stressing that God will punish them and urging Muslims to close ranks and abide by the Islamic law.

Only then, he says, will God stand by us, have mercy on us, and grant us success and victory.

Concluding, the imam prays to God: “O God, give us victory over our enemies and have mercy on our martyrs. O God, destroy the hypocrite agents. O God, destroy them. O God, give us victory over the Jews and their supporters.”

On one of the official TV stations of Saudi Arabia, from the holy mosque in Mecca:

Concluding, he prays to God: “O God, give power to Islam and Muslims, humiliate infidelity and infidels, destroy Islam’s enemies, and protect the Islamic countries.” He goes on: “O God, support our mujahidin bothers in Palestine, Kashmir, and Chechnya and destroy the aggressor Jews and the tyrannical Zionists, for they are within your power.”

On official Iraqi television, from Umm-al-Ma’arik (Mother of Battles) Mosque in Baghdad:

Concluding, the imam prays to God: “O God, support Islam and Muslims, elevate justice and Islam, help believers score victory over infidels, and protect our country. O God, give victory to your mujahidin servants in Iraq and Palestine.” He goes on: “O God, destroy the Americans and Zionists. O God, hang their flags at half-mast. O God, weaken them. O God, shake the ground under them. O God, give success to mujahid leader President Saddam Husayn.”

On the official television station of the Republic of Yemen, from the Grand Mosque in Sanaa:

Shaykh Akram Abd-al-Razzaq al-Ruqayhi delivers the sermon…

Turning to politics, the imam says: “The sons of monkeys and the grandsons of pigs are committing aggression against the Palestinian people. …

Concluding, the imam prays to God: “O God, support those supporting Islam. O God, support the mujahidin in Palestine and elsewhere. O God, help them score victory over their enemy. O God, destroy the Zionist aggressors and the unjust Americans and their supporters.”

And on the official television station of the State of Qatar (who is supposed to be one of our main allies in the region), from Umar Bin-al-Khattab Mosque in Doha:

Saykh Yusuf al-Qaradawi delivers the sermon. …

The imam then urges Qataris to abide by the law issued by the State of Qatar banning smoking at public places, schools, universities, and elsewhere. He also calls on Muslims to send the price they pay for cigarettes to the Palestinians and “to boycott Zionist and US goods,” because “the battle is becoming fiercer.” …

Concluding, the imam prays to God: “O God, give us victory over your enemies, the enemies of Islam. O God, protect us from their evils, weaken them, wipe them out, destroy their power, and prevent them from committing aggression against your servants. O God, destroy the aggressor, treacherous Jews. O God, destroy the aggressor Americans. O God, destroy the fanatic pagans. O God, destroy the tyrannical Crusaders.”
