The following are excerpts from an interview with Ahmad Ibrahimi, Imam and coordinator of the Algerian delegation to the “Freedom Flotilla,” which aired on Al-Aqsa TV on June 4, 2010.
Ahmad Ibrahimi: I swear on Allah, live on TV, that we felt no fear whatsoever of those brothers of apes and pigs.

They are cowards.

[The Palestinians] said to us: “Don’t be scared of them. You will see that they are a Mickey Mouse army.” This turned out to be true. I swear by Allah that we saw their soldiers crying. By Allah, we saw signs of urine and feces on their clothes.
