On the Friday immediately following the summit meeting in Sharm El-Sheikh (where Clown Prince Abdullah smiled and posed for photos with George Bush), the sheikhs of the spiritual centers of Islam in Mecca and Medina went right back to their hate-spewing business as usual.

Here’s a headache-inducing dose of crazy illogic, from the Holy Mosque in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, broadcast live over official Saudi television:

Assailing those using violence to achieve their goals, the imam says: “Some individuals in our nation, who speak our own language, are used to carrying out acts of violence against a Muslim society and to die along with other innocent people. [“Other innocent people?” So the killers are also “innocent” because they “speak our language?”—ed.] By encroaching on the nation’s security, some individuals bury the concept of stability, cut the lifeline of the present generation, and destroy hopes for a better future. Vile infidels, the enemies of Islam, use such violence as an excuse to put pressure on Muslims and even to seize Muslim countries.” [Ah…there’s the real crime; not the killing and violence, but the fact that it gives the vile infidels an excuse!—ed.] The imam then says that Islam prospers in an atmosphere of confidence and constructive understanding based on the Islamic law, stressing the importance of the security issue in the view of Islam. Security, he also says, does not only mean protecting the society from theft and killing, but also the need for a Muslim society “to stick to the Islamic law, without which no security can be achieved.”

The imam then elaborates on security in general, including health and food security, and warns of “those casting doubts on the religiousness of the Muslim society and the soundness of the Islamic heritage.” The imam says: “For example, if a man steals something from a mosque, then some unfair people will call for shutting down or even destroying mosques in order to prevent theft. If a veiled woman cheats, then some people will call for removing the veil in order to prevent cheating. Instead of cutting the thief’s hand and exposing the cheater, these people want to destroy the mosque and to remove the veil. [Because amputation and misogyny is the Saudi birthright!—ed.] This is strange and draws violent reactions, which harm the moderation of a Muslim society.” [That’s right … try to stop us from hacking off hands and repressing our women, and we’ll really get violent!—ed.]

And what would a Friday khutba be without begging Allah to destroy stuff?

Concluding, the imam prays to God: “O God, strengthen Islam and Muslims, humiliate infidelity and infidels, destroy Islam’s enemies, and grant safety to this country and the other Islamic countries.”

Over at the other spiritual center of Islam, the Holy Mosque in Medina, the sheikh is seeing enemies everywhere:

The imam says: “Both overt and covert enmity has been directed at Islam, its countries, its ulema, and its followers, principles, and curricula by some writers in the nation. Attacking these writers as “hireling” secularists, the imam says that they “have imported secularism” because they have no loyalty to their nation. Denouncing these people for demanding “equality between men and women,” [The horror!—ed.] he says: “They want us to abandon our faith, morals, values, history, and glories and to follow infidelity, its morals, values, and life. They also ridicule ulema and good people, level accusations against them, focus on their mistakes, harm their honor, hide their achievements, and keep silent over their merits.” These people, the imam says, “have even encroached on religious books, calling for “the reduction of the religious school curricula, which are derived from the Koran and the messengers Sunna.” [Note: the Saudis are aware that we’re on to the hatred they’re teaching in their schools.—ed.] Assailing secularists once again, the imam says: “They have controlled education, information, economy, the army, administration, and legislation for more than one and a half century. What is the result? They have failed to promote economy, technology, and administration and have suffered successive defeats in the battlefield.”

Who are these “secularists” this lunatic is ranting about? Who knows?

And of course, the obligatory bloodthirsty finish, to send the crowd into the street with murder in their hearts:

“O God, strengthen Islam and Muslims, humiliate infidelity and infidels, and destroy Islam’s enemies, including the vile Jews.” He also asks God to protect the country of the custodian of the two holy mosques and “to help the Palestinian brothers defeat the usurper Jews, to shake the ground under them, to instill fear into their hearts, and to make them prey for Muslims.”

“Prey for Muslims.” Well, isn’t that lovely? Brought to you, as always, by the Religion of Peace and Tolerance.
