Religious leaders delivered anti-Israel, incitement-laced speeches on official government television stations throughout the Arab world this past Friday. The United States government service known as FBIS documented these hate-filled talks originating in the so-called “moderate nations” of Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Qatar.
Saudi cleric Sheik Salih Bin-Abdallah Bin-Humayd chanted the following to his followers: “O God, give victory to the mujahidin (Muslim fighters) in Palestine, Chechnya, Kashmir, and elsewhere. O God, support them. O God, destroy the usurper, tyrant Jews, who have spread corruption, killed people, destroyed property, and displaced people. O God, destroy them for they are within your power."
Not to be outdone, Yemen’s Sheik Akram Abd-al-Razzaq al-Ruqayhi said, “O God, help the mujahidin in Palestine achieve victory. O God, help the mujahidin everywhere to achieve victory. O God, destroy the Jews and their followers…O God, shake the ground under their feet, instill fear in their hearts, and freeze the blood in their veins."
An unidentified iman in Qatar gives his audience examples from Islamic history on "the wickedness of the Jews, who want Muslims to abandon their Koran and their prophet's traditions.” He concludes by saying "O God, use your might to take revenge against the usurper Jews. O God, show them a black day for they are within your power. O God, have mercy on our martyrs through your capability."
