| Friday Saudi sermon drops call for death to Jews |
| 2002-07-09 |
| Riyadh TV2 in Arabic, official television station of the Saudi Government, 5 July 2002 carries a live sermon from the holy mosque in Medina. Shaykh Ali al-Hudhayfi delivers the sermon, which he devotes to "good manners" in Islam, saying that they mean doing what God orders and avoiding what He forbids. "Good manners," he adds, mean "piety, devotion, patience, mercy, obedience, courage, generosity, truth, forbearance, good neighborliness, modesty, endurance, tolerance, and avoiding cunning, deception, treason, and sinning." Boy, wouldn't that take all the little pleasures out of Arab life... The imam concludes with a prayer to God to support Islam and Muslims and humble infidelity and infidels. He also calls for unity and love between Muslims. He prays: "O God, preserve Islam and Muslims in Palestine. O God, preserve Islam and Muslims in Kashmir. O God, preserve Islam and Muslims in India. O God, preserve Islam and Muslims in Chechnya. O God, preserve Islam and Muslims everywhere." Guess he was in a hurry and forgot to ask God to strike all the Jews dead where they sit... |
