"O God, deal with the Jews...Christians and their supporters" Yemeni 27
Sept. Sermon
[FBIS (U.S. Government service) Report]

Sanaa Republic of Yemen Television in Arabic, official television station of
the Republic of Yemen, carries on 27 September 2002 at 0901 GMT a live
sermon from the Grand Mosque in Sanaa.

Shaykh Akram Abd-al-Razzaq al-Ruqayhi delivers the sermon...

In the second sermon, the imam turns to current developments. In this holy
month of Rajab we must not forget those who are violating its sanctity by
attacking Muslims, he says, adding: "We must not forget the Jews and
Zionists who are occupying our land and spilling the blood of our brothers.
We must not forget that Muslim blood is being spilled, Muslim sanctities are
being violated, and Muslim holy places are being desecrated in Palestine,
and that children, women, and old people are appealing to Muslims for
support and assistance. They appeal to Muslim rulers, but no one comes to
their aid and stops the injustice." He continues: "We must not forget the
United States, which is not satisfied with the death of 1 million Iraqi
children during the siege, but is making preparations and massing armies to
attack Iraq and kill more children and women."

The imam concludes with this prayer: "O God support whoever supports
religion and humble whoever humbles Muslims, and have mercy on the nation of
muhammad. O God, support our brother mujahidin in Palestine and everywhere.
O God, strengthen their hearts and wills and give them victory over their
enemies. O God, deal with the Jews and their supporters and Christians and
their supporters. Shake the land under their feet, instill fear in their
heart, and freeze the blood in their veins. O God, deal with them for they
are within your power. O God, unite Muslims and make them brothers in
whatever pleases You." The imam also prays to God to assist the Yemeni
president in whatever serves the wellbeing of the people and the country.
