Following are excerpts from a Friday sermon in
the Zayed bin Sultan Aal Nahyan mosque in Gaza, broadcast live on the official
Palestinian Authority television. The speaker is Dr. Ahmad Abu Halabiya,
Member of the PA appointed "Fatwa Council" and former acting Rector of
the Islamic University in Gaza:
"None of the Jews refrain from committing any possible evil. If the
Labor party commits the evil and the crime, the Likud party stands by it;
and if the Likud party commits the evil and the crime, the Labor party
stands by it. The Jews are Jews, whether Labor or Likud... They do not
have any moderates or any advocates of peace. They are all liars. They
all want to distort truth, but we are in possesion of the truth."
"O brother believers, the criminals, the terrorists are the Jews, who
have butchered our children, orphaned them, widowed our women and desecrated
our holy places and sacred sites. They are the terrorists. They are the
ones who must be butchered and killed, as Allah the Almighty said: 'Fight
them: Allah will torture them at your hands, and will humiliate them and
will help you to overcome them, and will relieve the minds of the believers...."
"O brothers in belief, this is the case of the Jews and their habitual
conduct, and what happened yesterday, and has been going on for two weeks,
and before that for many years, and which will be repeated in future years
unless we stand up like men and unless we have the known Muslim position,
[the position] of those who wage Jihad in the path of Allah, those who
defend their rights and who sacrifice all that is dear to them."
"O brothers in belief, the beautiful bride has a costly price and dowry....
Our bride is paradise, O brothers in belief. The cost and the dowry of
this bride, the dowry of this paradise, is that we fight in the path of
Allah, and kill and be killed."
"Allah has purchased from the believers their persons and their property
in return for the promise that they shall have paradise, for they fight
in the cause of Allah, and they slay the enemy and are slain. This is a
promise that He [Allah] has made incumbent upon Himself, as set out in
the Torah, the Gospel, and the Koran"
"We say to the Jews, and we say to Clinton, and we say to all those
who supported the Jews and still cooperate with the Jews, we say to them,
that this will not shake us, we are the Palestinian people, who are positioned
in the land of the Isra' and Mi'raj. It will not shake a single hair of
ours. Our determination will not sway. We will raise the banner of Jihad"
"America and Europe and the world were shocked by the kidnapping of
three tramps, the kidnapping of three wretched soldiers, and the killing
of two in Ramallah. But their feelings were not moved, and they did not
shudder when they saw the children Muhammad ad-Durrah and others women,
and men, and youths being martyred by cannons and missiles, and all the
barbaric instruments that the Jews possess."
"They were moved, for the sake of five persons, and the world went into
turmoil and it will not stop for Clinton or for the old hag Albright, they
will not be relieved, and they will not cease to be concerned, and they
will not rest until the Jews return to their families. But as for the Palestinians,
as for this pure blood, it can go to Hell in the eyes of the Americans
and Europe and the Jews"
"This is the truth, O Brothers in belief. From here, Allah the almighty
has called upon us not to ally with the Jews or the Christians, not to
like them, not to become their partners, not to support them, and not to
sign agreements with them. And he who does that, is one of them, as Allah
said: 'O you who believe, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies,
for they are allies of one another. Who from among you takes them as allies
will indeed be one of them'"
"...The Jews are the allies of the Christians, and the Christians are
the allies of the Jews, despite the enmity that exists between them. The
enmity between the Jews and the Christians is deep, but all of them are
in agreement against the monotheists against those who say, 'There is no
God but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger,' that is they are against
you, O Muslims."
"Even if an agreement of Gaza is signed - we shall not forget Haifa,
and Acre, and the Galilee, and Jaffa, and the Triangle and the Negev, and
the rest of our cities and villages. It is only a matter of time. The weak
will not remain forever weak, and the strong will not remain forever strong...
If we are weak today and we are not able to regain our rights, then at
least we have to pass on the banner waving high to our children and grandchildren..."
"None of the factions is allowed to stand on the sidelines at this stage,
or not to think well of avenging our pure martyrs and wounded. Our people
must unite in one trench, and receive armaments from the Palestinian leadership,
to confront the Jews. By Allah, the Jews, O brothers in belief, do not
know, nor have they ever known throughout history, anything but force and
Jihad in the path of Allah. The Jews are like a [gas] pedal as long as
you step on it with your foot, it doesn't move, but if you lift your foot
from it, it hurts you and punishes you. This is the case of the Jews."
"Have no mercy on the Jews, no matter where they are, in any country.
Fight them, wherever you are. Wherever you meet them, kill them. Wherever
you are, kill those Jews and those Americans who are like them and those
who stand by them they are all in one trench, against the Arabs and the
Muslims because they established Israel here, in the beating heart of the
Arab world, in Palestine. They created it to be the outpost of their civilization
and the vanguard of their army, and to be the sword of the West and the
crusaders, hanging over the necks of the monotheists, the Muslims in these
lands. They wanted the Jews to be their spearhead "
" Let us put our trust in Allah, close ranks, and unite our words, and
the slogan of us all should be, 'Jihad! Jihad! For the sake of Palestine,
and for the sake of Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa!'"
"...We will not give up a single grain of soil of Palestine, from Haifa,
and Jaffa, and Acre, and Mulabbas [Petah Tikva] and Salamah, and Majdal
[Ashkelon], and all the land, and Gaza, and the West Bank "
"...Allah, deal with the Jews, your enemies and the enemies of Islam.
Deal with the crusaders, and America, and Europe behind them, O Lord of
the worlds."
