# 1 Riyadh Kingdom of Saudi Arabia TV1 in Arabic, official television
station of the Saudi Government, at 0928 GMT 17 May 2002 carries a live
sermon from the holy mosque in Mecca.

Shaykh Usamah Ibn-Abdallah Khayyat delivers the sermon, which he begins
by saying: "O Muslims, God has willed that the fire of the battle of destiny
must not die down, but remain ablaze until He inherits the earth and all
that is on it. For it is a battle of right against falsehood, guidance
against deviation, and faith against infidelity. Indeed, it is the intifadah
of goodness against evil in all shapes and colors, regardless of the
different flags, many soldiers, big plots, and serious dangers. This
battle is not a new development, but continuous chapters that go back in
history, as related in the Holy Koran."

The imam refers to the battles fought by the prophets; namely, Abraham
against idol-worshippers, Moses against the Pharaohs, Muhammad against the
Qurayshi infidels of Mecca, and, in recent history, Salah-al-Din against the
crusaders in Jerusalem. He then says: "The intifadah by Muslims in Muslim
Palestine today is a link in the chain of the battle of destiny. It is a
living example of the confrontation between right, which is the defense of
religion, holy places, freedom, dignity, and honor, and falsehood, which is
usurpation, aggression, and violation of sanctities and holy places."

Continuing, the imam says: "The battle of destiny is long and with
continuous links. But, as in the past when God made right triumph over
falsehood and gave victory to the faithful and humiliated the infidels, He
would also give victory to Islam and make it raise the flag of right on
Jerusalem and its vicinity and humiliate the criminal and tyrannical Jews so
they would be a lesson for everyone."

The imam continues with the theme of "victory of right against
falsehood" in the second part of his sermon, saying that the hope for
victory should prompt Muslims "to stick to their rights" until God fulfills
His promise. He concludes with a prayer to God to support Islam, unify
Muslims and guide their steps on what is right, and give victory to the
mujahidin in Palestine, Kashmir, and Chechnya. He also prays to God "to deal
with the tyrannical Jews and their supporters" and bring about their defeat.

#2 Riyadh Kingdom of Saudi Arabia TV2 in Arabic, official television
station of the Saudi Government, at 0931 17 May 2002 carries a live sermon
from the holy mosque in Medina.

Shaykh Ali al-Hudhayfi delivers the sermon, which he devotes to
repentance, calling on worshippers to repent to God and atone for their
sins. He concludes with a prayer to God to strengthen Islam and Muslims,
humble infidelity and infidels, and destroy the enemies of religion. He also
prays for the unity of Muslims and the victory of "our brethren in
Palestine."
