Jabhat Al-Nusra-Affiliated Cleric Abdullah Al-Muhaysini to Hizbullah: We Will Return Your Bodies in Plastic Coffins

In a Friday sermon delivered on April 2, Jabhat Al-Nusra-affiliated Saudi cleric Abdullah Al-Muhaysini slammed the Al-Assad regime and Hizbullah, saying: "We need your plastic coffins in order to send the bodies of your allies back to you." He was speaking at the main mosque of the war-torn village of Al-Eis, Syria, after its recapture by Jabhat Al-Nusra, a mosque that was used by Shiite militias to celebrate their victory several months ago.

Abdullah Al-Muhaysini: From this very pulpit, the ignoble Rafidite [Iraqi Shiite militia leader Qays Al-Khazali], may Allah curse him, delivered a sermon, cursing the caliphs Abu Bakr and Omar, as well as 'Aisha. Today, [Jabhat Al-Nusra's] lions of monotheism have liberated this pulpit, and have avenged our mother 'Aisha.

Abdullah Al-Muhaysini: This is the great mosque of the village of Al-Eis. Where are you, Zaynabiyyun? Where are you, Haidariyyun? Where are you, Al-Nujaba [Iraqi Hizbullah]? Where are you, Party of Satan [Hizbullah]? Welcome to Syria. You came here on your feet, but we will send you back to your families, saying to them: "Here, your merchandise has been returned to you," in the form of lifeless bodies, thanks to the might of Allah.

I remember that the tyrant Walid Al-Muallem, may Allah curse him, said once: I have found that wooden coffins are expensive, so perhaps we will send their bodies back in plastic coffins. To him I say: "There are many bodies here in Al-Eis and in Banias. We need your plastic coffins in order to send the bodies of your allies back to you." As for you, soldiers of Bashar, know that the Russians have betrayed you and fled, and that the Iranians have been killed. The only choice you have is to repent to Allah, before you fall into the hands of the mujahideen,because remorse will not help you then.
