Once again, we listen to what the spiritual leaders of Islam are saying to the flock. Remember, this is a tiny minority of fanatics preaching a perverted version of Islam’s peaceful message. It’s just a coincidence that they happen to be doing it in the “holiest” cities and the “holiest” mosques of the Islamic world.

From Umar Bin-al-Khattab Mosque in Doha, Qatar, on September 19, 2003:

“O God, strengthen Islam and Muslims, disappoint infidelity and infidels, destroy the enemies of Islam. O God, grant safety to this country and the other Islamic countries. O God, give success to the Muslims’ leaders.” He goes on: “O God, support Mujahidin everywhere. O God, help our brothers in Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Kashmir, and Chechnya score victory. O God, destroy the unjust Christians. O God, destroy their rule and disperse them. O God, destroy the unjust Jews. O God, destroy the unjust, usurper Jews. O God, disperse them and shake the ground under them.”

From martyr King Abdallah I mosque in Amman, Jordan, supposedly the Arab world’s showpiece of moderation:

“O Lord, deal with Jews for they are within Your power. O Lord, deal with Your enemies everywhere for they are within Your power. O Lord, make their plots destroy them. O Lord, support the mujahidin everywhere, in Palestine and every land where Your name is mentioned.”

At the Grand Mosque in Sana’a, Yemen:

“The feet of the sons of Zion desecrate the courtyards and neighborhoods of Al-Aqsa Mosque. Zionists also spread corruption on the blessed land, shed the blood of our Muslim kinfolk, and violate the Palestinian people’s honor and sanctities by exploiting the world’s hypocrisy and the silence of Muslims and their rulers. Zionists have even decided to expel a leader from his country, just as they have expelled millions of Palestinians from their homeland. The sons of Zion occupy Palestine, and the United States occupies the land of Iraq, while Muslims’ rulers ignore the occupation of the two countries. All this takes place because the Islamic nation has abandoned Islam.” …

Concluding, the imam prays to God: “O God, elevate justice and support just people. O God, help our brothers in Iraq, Palestine, and everywhere in the world. O God, relieve them of their ordeal. O God, lift the siege on them. O God, help them score victory. O God, destroy Islam’s Zionist and American enemies. O God, shake the ground under them.”

This brings us to the absolute spiritual center of Islam, the place toward which all Muslims face when they pray, in the country whose despotic leaders assure us repeatedly that they’re cracking down on the Islamic hate speech—the holy mosque in Mecca, Saudi Arabia:

“O God, strengthen Islam and Muslims, humiliate infidelity and infidels, protect Islam, and disappoint tyrants, atheists, and the enemies of the nation and Islam. O God, elevate Your religion, Your Koran, and Your Prophet Muhammad’s Traditions. O God, grant us safety in our homeland and give wisdom to our leaders.” The imam goes on: “O God, support Mujahidin, who fight to elevate Your word and to strengthen Your religion. O God, help them defeat their enemies in Palestine and everywhere. O God, strengthen them and destroy their enemies. O God, destroy the Zionist Jewish occupiers, for they are within Your power.”
