Damascus Syria Arab Republic Radio in Arabic, official station of the Syrian Government, on 19 July 2002 at 1005 GMT carried a live sermon from Anas Ibn-Malik Mosque in Damascus.



Shaykh Dr. Ziyad al-Din al-Ayyubi delivered the sermon, which he devoted

television station of the Palestinian Authority, and Gaza Voice of Palestine

in Arabic -- Second Program -- official radio station of the Palestinian

Authority broadcasting from Gaza, carried a live sermon from Shaykh Ijlin

Mosque in Gaza on 19 July 2002. According to Shaykh Ahmad Abd-al-Raziq,



"It is for this reason. . . that God has afflicted us with sedition and an enemy, who does not fear us, but sweeps our towns, kills our children, and imprisons our heroes." This would not have happened, he adds, "had we carried out God's orders, especially jihad, and had Muslims carried out their God's orders for jihad and not listened to this empty talk about peace. What peace is this when Al-Aqsa Mosque is being desecrated and curfew is being imposed on Muslim territories? The Muslim must carry out his God's order."
