Gaza Palestine Satellite Channel Television in Arabic, official television station of the Palestinian Authority, and Gaza Voice of Palestine in Arabic -- Second Program -- official radio station of the Palestinian Authority broadcasting from Gaza -- at 0951 GMT carry a 37-minute live sermon from Shaykh Ijlin mosque in Gaza.
Shaykh Ibrahim al-Mudayris delivers the sermon. He begins by praising God, the messenger, and his companions and says that paradise is for those "offering either their lives or their money for jihad." He says that God has honored the Palestinian people by enabling them "to stand firm in the face of aggression on this good, holy land." Condemning the Israeli practices against the Palestinian people, the imam says: "The Israeli forces commit ugly massacres throughout this homeland. Everyday, Palestinians are killed by rockets in Jabalya, Gaza, Al-Nusayrat, Rafah, Khan Yunus, Bethlehem, Nabulus, Ramallah, Hebron, Tulkarm, Salfit, holy Jerusalem, and elsewhere in Palestine." The conflict in Palestine and elsewhere, he says, is between right and wrong, adding that "the current battle in Palestine is between right and wrong," stressing that the Palestinian people will score victory "because we are strong by our right." The imam says that Palestinians have to offer more sacrifices to deter "the United States and their Zionist supporters," stressing that "if we close our ranks and unify our position, then we will score a victory, God willing."
Condemning Palestinian agents working for Israel, the imam says that the Palestinian people cannot be blamed for the existence of these agents. The imam, however, urges them "to repent and to obey God before they die and go to Hell." He also calls on the Palestinian Government "to carry out the sentences issued against a number of agents." The imam then assails Arab and Muslim rulers for having failed "to move their huge armies and to save the sad Al-Aqsa Mosque."
In the second part of the sermon, the imam expresses his conviction that if the Palestinian people close their ranks and stick to their rights, they will defeat the enemy and "we will also defeat the United States, which sticks to its criminal positions." The imam also says: "We view the United States as our primary enemy for supporting our enemy. We are killed by US warplanes, our homes are destroyed by US tanks, and we are struck by US missiles. Our enemy commits aggression against us with US support. The United States will remain our primary enemy as long as it insists on its total bias toward our enemy at the expense of our cause. We will score victory, God willing." The imam then condemns the Israeli forces for preventing Palestinians from worshipping in Al-Aqsa Mosque, urging Palestinians to stand firm on their land.
Concluding, the imam, prays to God: "O God, help us defeat our enemy. O God, help us defeat those, who have disappointed us." He goes on: "O God, return the prisoners to their families and get the siege on our people, our leadership, and our nation lifted. O God, help our kinfolk in Iraq defeat their enemy."
Ramallah Voice of Palestine, official radio station of the Palestinian Authority, at 0951 GMT carries a 24-minute live sermon from Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Shaykh Muhammad Husayn delivers the sermon. He begins by praising God, the messenger, and his companions. On the occasion of the new school year, the imam praises the Palestinian people for taking interest in education, which, he says, has kept the Palestinian people's cause alive despite the disasters it has faced.
In the second sermon, the imam also discusses the subject of education and warns Palestinian youths against quitting school at early ages, quoting the messenger as encouraging education as a religious duty.
Turning to politics, the imam condemns the "occupation authorities" for "allowing tourists and extremist Jews and settlers to enter Al-Aqsa Mosque and preventing Muslims from reaching the mosque." He also says: "Muslims on this blessed land reject these measures as an aggression against their sanctities. Our Palestinian people also reject the building of the racial segregation wall, which isolates the quarters of the holy city from one another. The wall also encroaches on the inhabitants' lands, homes, universities, and schools and devours a large part of the campus of the University of Jerusalem. It also damages vast areas of West Bank cities, villages, and lands and separates the family members from one another." The imam then urges the Palestinian people to close their ranks and to be alert to the conspiracies being concocted against them "in order to abort the occupation's designs."
Concluding, the imam asks God to get the Palestinian prisoners released, to protect Al-Aqsa Mosque, and to destroy the enemies.
In case you don't get it (which you probably do), Saturday refers to the Jews, and Sunday refers to the Christians (holy days)
From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime."

You will have you meds ramped up a dosage or three, God willing. :)
Sounds like he's left for his fantasy paradise a bit early.
O most learned iman, they tried that 3 or 4 times before and got their butts kicked up into their throats.
Problem is, He isn't.
Seems y'all are up a bit of a creek.
We're not at war with MILFs; we just like to hunt them. Big difference, amigo.
As long as I can give them a shot between the eyes. ;-)
