"Americans backed by the scum of the earth...O tiny midget, W. Bush", Friday
30 August Iraqi Sermon

[FBIS (a US Government service) Report]

Baghdad Republic of Iraq Television in Arabic, official television station
of the Iraqi Government, carries on 30 August 2002 at 0920 GMT a live
sermon from Imam Abi-Hanifah al-Nu'man mosque in Baghdad.

Shaykh Bakr Abd-al-Razzaq al-Samarra'i delivers the sermon...

The imam says: "Know Ye, O faithful everywhere, that the Americans, who are
backed by the scum of the earth, the sons of monkeys and pigs and people of
fornication and vice, who were in the lowest levels of vice and satanic
whims, do not aim to attack Iraq alone. Yesterday, it was Andalusia and
recently the tripartite aggression against beloved Egypt, the country of
Afghanistan, and North Africa, where they wanted to eliminate the Arab
entity with the English, French, Italian, and Spanish languages. Today, they
are threatening Iraq and tomorrow they will threaten the Gulf, the land of
the Nile, Yemen, Sudan, and other states including Syria, Lebanon, and
Libya. It is a big plot, which is being concocted against Islam, Muslims,
Arabdom, and faith."

...
"This is a call," the imam appeals, "to all Muslims in the world, and Arabs
in particular, as well as to the followers of the noble Sufi schools
stemming from the Holy Koran and the prophet's traditions. For they have
been and still are people of sacrifice and a vanguard in selflessness and
martyrdom. Strike at British and US interests. Fight them in every land and
place, against their banks, goods, property, and persons."

...Don't dare plan an attack against Iraq, O tiny midget, W. Bush, as it is
fortified by heavenly power and it would be a cemetery for you. To hell with
you!"...
