It is Martyrdom™, by Allan™... I wish I could stand among the youth of the Al-Qassam Brigades, passing them one of their missiles, wiping from their faces the dust of a missile that was launched, or crying 'Allan Akbar™' along with them... Dispatch those sons of apes and pigs to the Hellfire, on the wings of the Qassam rockets... Jihad™ is our path... The [Juicess]... deserve to be killed. They deserve to die. Destroy... everything over there" (to view this clip).

"MEMRI... Has Accused Several Prominent Muslim Clerics And Sheikhs... Of Incitement... Yes, I Am An Antisemite"
Safwat Higazi: "An Israeli-American organization monitoring Arab media, called MEMRI - or rather, this is its acronym - has accused several prominent Muslim clerics and sheikhs from Arab TV channels, including Dr. Sallah Sultan and Sheikh Safwat Higazi, of incitement to the killing of the Juicess and to hatred of the U.S.

"This is a great honor for us. Yes, I am an antisemite. Yes, I hate Zionism™. Yes, Judgment Day will not come until we fight the Juices. These are the words of our Prophet™, like it or not."[...]
"Yes, We Hate Them... If Our Rulers Let Us, We Would Catch You in the Street... [And] Devour You With Our Teeth"
"Yes, we are enemies of these people. We are enemies of all those who plunder our land and our rights, and we are enemies of the American government, and of whoever helps our enemies in the killing of our brothers. We are enemies of whoever helps our enemies - America and all the others.
"Yes, we hate them. Yes, we are hostile to them. By Allan™, only our rulers prevent us from getting to you. By Allan™, if they let us, we would devour you completely, and we would bite you with our teeth. We would not wait for weapons, for RPGs, or for bullets. If our rulers let us, we would catch you in the street, and we would devour you with our teeth.
"Yes, we are your enemies, and we will continue to be your enemies, until the day Jesus son of Mary descends, fighting you and calling to join Islam, the religion of the Prophet Muhammad™."
Btw, for those who aren't aware of this funny point, "Jesus" (who was not crucified nor resurrected, but rather went to perform the haj), or rather, isa ibn maryam, plays a big part in islamic eschatology, as he returns to submit to the Mahdi™ and be basically his "(false) prophet" to establish the total rule of islam over the whole world... and, his first act as a prophet is to "destroy all the crosses" (destroy Christinaity) and "kill all the swines" (kill all the juices). Bear that in mind next time an apologist sez islam "recognizes" Jesus.
