In recent months, a Jordanian child called Abd Al-Aziz Al-Sayifi is annoying local authorities in Jordanian mosques. Al-Sayfi rises in the middle of the sermon, takes over the pulpit and recites standard antisemitic and Jihadi texts, criticizing Arab rulers for not liberating the Al-Aqsa Mosque. The "sermons" are almost the same every week in different mosques. Some mosque-goers and mosque managers have tried to get Al-Sayfi to stop his angry "sermons" and have even threatened to call the police, but Al-Sayfi refuses and at times is supported by some of the worshippers. Al-Sayfi has posted his "sermons" and repeated clashes with mosque authorities on his YouTube page.
Following are excerpts

Abd Al-Aziz Al-Sayfi: [The Jews] sometimes claim that they are searching for their temple. They are plundering a land that is not theirs. Worse still, the extremist Zionists are now openly speaking about dividing the Al-Aqsa Mosque, in terms of space and times of prayer. Jerusalem is crying for help: "Oh Arabs! Oh Muslims!"...
Man in mosque: Hey boy, it is forbidden to talk like that!
Abd Al-Aziz Al-Sayfi: We expect the Arabs and Muslims to adopt a more powerful stand in the defense of Jerusalem...
Man in mosque: It is forbidden to talk like that! Go away!

Man in mosque: First of all, you caused a disturbance. Secondly, you can come here any time, get permission, and talk as much as you like.
Abd Al-Aziz Al-Sayfi: I did not disturb anybody.
Man in mosque: I do not want you and me to get into a futile Byzantine discussion... You are a gifted speaker, but we've already heard it all on Al-Jazeera. Al-Jazeera does not leave a single stone unturned. But this only takes us backward. Bravo for all the things you said, but this only takes us backward.
Abd Al-Aziz Al-Sayfi: Allah willing, it will take us forward.
Man in mosque: No, it only takes backward.
