Call for Jihad - fight "sons of monkeys and pigs"
November 8 2002 - Iraqi Sermon [FBIS Report]

Baghdad Republic of Iraq Television in Arabic, official television station of the Iraqi Government, carries on 8 November 2002 at 0901 GMT a live sermon from Abd-al-Qadir al-Jaylani mosque in Baghdad.

Shaykh Dr. Abd-al-Razzaq al-Sa'di delivers the sermon, which he begins by welcoming the month of Ramadan, emphasizing the importance of praying, fasting, reading the Koran, and giving charity in this month.

The imam alludes to Islamic jihad in early Islam and says Muslims are in dire need of this virtue, especially in this critical hour through which the Islamic nation is challenged "by Jews and crusaders, Americans and British," he says. "They think," he adds, "that they can intimidate us with their bombs, missiles, and sophisticated technology." But, we have the power of the Almighty God on our side, he says.

The imam then lets off an emotional tirade: "Who are you, O scum of earth? Who are you, O sons of monkeys and pigs, to threaten Muhammad? God is his Lord." He goes on: "Who are you Bush, you tiny midget, to threaten Muhammad and the sons of Muhammad? By God, we defy you with our words before our weapons. Who are you to threaten our sentiments and sanctities? May you be damned."

In an appeal to the Islamic nation, the imam says: "We will fight them with all weapons. Jihad, jihad, jihad O nation of the Koran, O nation of Muhammad, O Muslims, come to jihad for the sake of God and in defense of the sanctity of Muhammad. Whoever does not defend Muhammad and the Koran will never see paradise." He asks: "Why the slumber and why the poor statements that do not rise to the level of responsibility? After the occupation of Jerusalem, the presence of the infidels in the Arabian Peninsula, and the threats by infidels to the Arabs, Muslims, the holy places, and Iraq in particular, jihad has become a duty for every Muslim. Whoever lags behind will be a great loser."

The imam devotes the second sermon to a prayer to God to support Islam and Muslims and to inflict His might on the infidels. He prays: "O God, shake the land under their feet, destroy their fleets and equipment, disperse their troops, and instill fear and grief in their hearts." He also prays: "O God, the sedition is asleep. Accursed is the one who wakes it up. But, they are waking it up. We do not want to meet the enemy. But, if they came we would be steadfast. O God, make us steadfast." He continues: "We depend on God, O Bush; we depend on God, O Ariel Sharon. We depend on God, O British. We depend on God, O enemies of God."

"Islam is the religion of tolerance...but also jihad"
Friday, 11 October 2002 - Syrian Sermon [FBIS  Report]

Damascus Syria Arab Republic Radio in Arabic, official station of the Syrian Government, carries on 11 October 2002 at 0944 GMT a live sermon from Al-Zahra Mosque in Damascus.

Shaykh Dr. Muhammad al-Habash delivers the sermon and while dealing with the subject of jihad, the imam says: "There is a need today to speak about jihad. Islam is the religion of tolerance, mercy, and love. But, it is also the religion of justice and jihad, and peace and power. It is not sound to imagine that the arrogant on earth have suddenly turned meek and that we could stop Zionist designs against Palestine with wisdom and good word. The tyranny that the Zionists practice daily on the land of Palestine, calls upon us to resurrect the message of jihad." God ordained jihad so this nation would repulse oppression, establish justice, and deal with life with realism and rationalism, he says, adding: There must be force to protect justice and deter oppression.

"But, this jihad, which God has ordained as a means to achieve justice on earth," the imam says, "is being distorted in Western circles. They confuse terrorism with the right to legitimate resistance. The arrogant on earth are vying with one another in describing jihad as a form of aggression. Unfortunately, some erroneous Muslim concepts contribute to spreading this wrong image of jihad."

The imam addresses President Bashar al-Asad, saying Arabs and Muslims "await a new October." This is the people's hope, he says, while they witness Zionist atrocities in Khan Yunus, Ramallah, Rafah, and Janin. "The only language that can change the attitude of this arrogant tyrant and war criminal, who is committing murder daily, is jihad as ordained by Allah and offered to us by the October War," he adds.

The imam says: "The Zionist lobby today is leading the United States, the master of the world, to an all-out confrontation with the Islamic World. The United States speaks like a great power to the world, but turns into a lowly agent for the Zionists when the matter concerns the designs of the Zionist lobby. The US Congress approved a law recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of the Hebrew state thereby flouting all international laws."

O God, give a clear and urgent victory to our mujahdin brothers in Palestine." He goes on: "O God, destroy the Jews and their supporters and destroy the Christians and their supporters.

Shaykh Akram Abd-al-Razzaq al-Ruqayhi delivers the sermon and in the second sermon, the imam turns to current developments. In this holy month of Rajab we must not forget those who are violating its sanctity by attacking Muslims, he says, adding: "We must not forget the Jews and Zionists who are occupying our land and spilling the blood of our brothers. We must not forget that Muslim blood is being spilled, Muslim sanctities are being violated, and Muslim holy places are being desecrated in Palestine, and that children, women, and old people are appealing to Muslims for support and assistance. They appeal to Muslim rulers, but no one comes to their aid and stops the injustice."
