In a Friday sermon, Egyptian cleric Mustafa Al-Aqsari said that Bernard Lewis was responsible for "the most dangerous enterprise in history – the plan to divide the Islamic world into mini-states" and that this plot had been ratified by Congress in 1993. The sermon was posted on the Internet on April 17, 2014.
Following are excerpts:
Mustafa Al-Aqsari: [The Jews are] our eternal enemies. Dear brothers, never talk about eternal peace with the Jews. "Judgment Day will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews." From the day the Prophet Muhammad was sent and until Judgment Day, our war with the Jews rages.
Did Huyay Ibn Akhtab [a Jewish leader in the days of the Prophet Muhammad] really die, or does he live on in our days? Is there a modern Huyay? Yes. The Huyay Ibn Akhtab of modern times is a man called Bernard Lewis.
This man, my brothers, is a British national. He is Jewish by religion, the son of two Jewish parents. He is ideologically Zionist, and he is an American citizen. He combines all that is evil. He was born in 1916. This man was an advisor to U.S. Presidents Bush Sr. and Bush Jr.
He is responsible for the most dangerous enterprise in history – the plan to divide the Islamic world into mini-states. All you need to do is to type on the Internet: "Bernard Lewis, the plot to divide the Islamic world." This is not, my brothers in faith, what some people call "a conspiracy theory." This is what we believe according to our religion.
This plot was published in the journal of the U.S. Department of Defense. Furthermore, U.S. Congress unanimously ratified this man's plan in 1993.
