Yusuf Abu Snena is a religious preacher at the Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem and and an official of the Palestinian Ministry of Religious Affairs.

“More than 50 were killed during the last week on our holy land, and they have become Martyrs, not for their own sake but for the sake of our nation. Israel’s call to fight fellow Palestinians, as a condition for Israeli withdrawal from the Palestinian lands and cities, must be dismissed out of hand. This is only a tactic to cause a split in the nation and a civil war, which is unacceptable. the U.S. support for renewed Israeli occupation of Palestinian land and cities should serve as a lesson to those who shed tears for the American bloodshed (on 11 of September) and for those who did not shed tears for the Palestinian loss of blood. All we have to say is: Trust in Allah and stand up to the insults from the Americans to the Arab people.

In last week’s sermon we warned against believers in the false American promise to support the establishment of a Palestinian state. which they wish to be a persecuted and a rebuked country without a nation, if the criminal aggression continue it will be a weak nation, without dignity, especially if the vagueness of the other Arab States continues, then the nation will become no more then a guinea pig prior to its establishment. The attack on our Islamic allies seems to be a repetition of the First World War, reminding us of the cooperation between the heretics to bring down the German nation, which was destroyed by the heretic nations, thus giving those heretic and imperialistic nations the freedom to invade our Arab Muslim homelands. These heretic nations are once again attacking, like dogs, Muslim Afghanistan, and are fighting Islam everywhere. And the True Believers and the Afghans can only trust in Allah.

Hostile American planes are killing innocent people who are supported by Arab Muslim and other countries. These are heretic nations seeking to destroy Islam. but, servants of Allah, do not forget. We must all give praise to Allah.

Allah will not allow them to conquer Palestine and following that, other Arab cities like Damascus, Beirut, Baghdad and there after Kabul.

Imperialism is returning to Arab regions, through the guise of a “war on terror”, and therefore the question must be asked: When the English and the French fought the Nazis, were they then also fighting terror or were they fighting Islam?. The war in Northern Ireland has been continuing for tens of years. Why did we never hear the word “terrorism” in this case? Why do we only hear the word “terror” used against the Muslims, whom the enemies of Islam want to destroy. This is part of the Crusaders plan….

We must all praise Allah and unite. The events of today are like those of the past. “The issue today is not only Afghanistan but it also points to Europe and those who support Europe both from the east and from the west. This is an attempt to return to the wars of the Crusades.”

We urge all Muslims to unite in a war against the Crusaders, and pray that Allah will bring vengeance upon them.
