Palestinian cleric Najib Rafat said in an address at the Al-Aqsa Mosque that was uploaded to the Internet on January 31, 2020 that the response to the Deal of the Century should not be a cold, muted, worthless, narrow, putrid, nationalist, pan-Arabist, lowly, or defeatist response. Rather, he said that the Islamic nation should respond to President Trump by "preparing the latent resources of the [Islamic] nation," announcing the establishment of a Caliphate, getting rid of sinful leaders, and sending huge armies to invade and conquer America. Sheikh Rafat prayed for Allah to support the Muslims against the evil infidels and to make them worthy of liberating Jerusalem and conquering Rome and the United States. His audience chanted: "Allah Akbar! Glory belongs to Allah!"

Najib Rafat: "Oh, servants of Allah! The response to Trump should not be a cold, muted, worthless response. It should not be a narrow, putrid, nationalist or Pan-Arabist response. It should not be a lowly, defeatist, mute response of negotiations. Yes, oh servants of Allah, the response should be through preparing the latent resources of the [Islamic] nation, announcing the [establishment of] a rightly-guided Caliphate for the nation of Islam, getting rid of the sinful leaders, and sending out huge armies to invade and conquer America. Yes, oh servants of Allah..."

Crowd: "Allah Akbar! Thanks be to Allah! Allah Akbar! Thanks be to Allah! Allah Akbar! Glory belongs to Allah! Allah Akbar! Glory belongs to Allah!"
