Following are excerpts from a Tehran Friday Sermon delivered by Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati, Secretary of the Iranian Guardian Council, aired on Channel 1, Iranian TV on August 4, 2006:"
TRANSCRIPT SNIPPET: "Crowd: Allah Akbar
Allah Akbar
Allah Akbar
Khamenei is the leader
Death to those who oppose the rule of the Jurisprudent
Death to America
Death to England
Deth to the hypocrites [Mojahedin-e Khalq] and Saddam
Death to Israel
[...]
What Hizbullah does shows that all the humiliation endured by us and the Islamic world stems from our own impotence. If [the Muslims] were men enough to enter the arena, their spit and threats would be enough to put the others in their place. As [the Muslims] continue to keep silent, [America and Israel] became so insolent, to the point that this wretched woman comes and talks about a New Middle East. This means a Middle East that is subservient to America, follows its orders unconditionally. This is the Middle East they desire, but, Allah willing, they will take this desire to the grave."

August 22 : Does Iran Have Something in Store

In Islam, as in Judaism and Christianity, there are certain beliefs concerning the cosmic struggle at the end of time--Gog and Magog, anti-Christ, Armageddon, and for Shiite Muslims, the long awaited return of the Hidden Imam, ending in the final victory of the forces of good over evil, however these may be defined. Mr. Ahmadinejad and his followers clearly believe that this time is now, and that the terminal struggle has already begun and is indeed well advanced. It may even have a date, indicated by several references by the Iranian president to giving his final answer to the U.S. about nuclear development by Aug. 22. This was at first reported as "by the end of August," but Mr. Ahmadinejad's statement was more precise. What is the significance of Aug. 22? This year, Aug. 22 corresponds, in the Islamic calendar, to the 27th day of the month of Rajab of the year 1427. This, by tradition, is the night when many Muslims commemorate the night flight of the prophet Muhammad on the winged horse Buraq, first to "the farthest mosque," usually identified with Jerusalem, and then to heaven and back (c.f., Koran XVII.1). This might well be deemed an appropriate date for the apocalyptic ending of Israel and if necessary of the world. It is far from certain that Mr. Ahmadinejad plans any such cataclysmic events precisely for Aug. 22. But it would be wise to bear the possibility in mind.
