Here are excerpts from a program aired on Qatar TV February 25, 2006, featuring noted “moderate” Islamic cleric Sheik Yousef Al-Qaradawi, founder of the IslamOnline web site and head of the European Council for Fatwa and Research. (Courtesy of MEMRI TV.)

Everything will be on our side and against Jews on [Judgment Day], at that time, even the stones and the trees will speak, with or without words, and say: “Oh servant of Allah, oh Muslim, there’s a Jew behind me, come and kill him.” They will point to the Jews. It says “servant of Allah,” not “servant of desires,” “servant of women,” “servant of the bottle,” “servant of Marxism,” or “servant of liberalism”... It said servant of Allah.“

When the Muslims, the Arabs, and the Palestinians enter a war, they do it to worship Allah. They enter it as Muslims. The hadith says: ”Oh Muslim.“ It says ”oh Muslim,“ not ”oh Palestinian, Jordanian, Syrian, or Arab nationalist.“ No, it says: ”Oh Muslim." When we enter [a war] under the banner of Islam, and under the banner of serving Allah, we will be victorious.
