May 21st Friday Sermon in Gaza by Sheikh Ibrahim Mudeiris: '…You son of a bitch, I have brought an enormous army upon you...'

May 21 Palestinian Authority TV

In his weekly Friday sermon from a mosque in Gaza, Sheikh Ibrahim Mudeiris criticized the leaders of the Arab world for refraining from joining the Palestinian fight against Israel, cursed US President George Bush, and sentenced Israeli Prime Minister and other leaders to death. Following is a verbatim translation of excerpts from the sermon that was broadcast live by the Palestinian Authority TV on May 21, 2004:

Sheikh Ibrahim Mudeiris: Have you forgotten (suicide bomber) Hanadi (Jaradat) who avenged the death of her brother and fiance by killing dozens of Zionists? It is they who opened the gates of hell upon themselves. These Zionists will get many more black (body) bags. By Allah, we will show them no mercy. When Allah allows us victory over them, we will show them no mercy at all.

What Sharon is doing now is not strange. What the Zionist Entity state is doing to our people in Rafah is not strange. They are avenging the deaths of their cowardly soldiers who were torn to shreds, here in the southern entrance of Gaza, in the Zaytoun neighborhood. They saw our children playing soccer with the heads and body parts of their soldiers. Our children do not fear body parts or blood, nor do our women and youth...

(The Khalifa Al-Mu'tasem) used his army and sent a letter to the Byzantine king. You all know what the letter said. He wrote, demonstrating the power of Islam, "From the Head of the Believers, Al-Mu'tasem, to the Byzantine dog." This is how Al-Mu'tasem wrote, "to the Byzantine dog." Why is there no leader, why is there no ruler, why is none man enough to send such a message to the American dog, to the Byzantine dog of our days, to the oppressor dog, or to one of the dogs of the world? Why is there no ruler who will send a letter and enter history, "To the Byzantine dog, you son of a bitch, I have brought an enormous army upon you, that starts there and ends here."

In light of these massacres, I declare from here: Sharon, Mofaz, Ya'alon, you are sentenced to death. You are sentenced to death. Sooner or later you will be sentenced to death. And this sentence will be carried out, Allah willing, because a murderer must be killed in this world. The death sentence will be carried out. If Allah allows us to execute them, we will not execute them by a firing squad, but with our shoes, Allah willing.
