"Annihilate the Infidels"
A Study of the Ongoing
Anti-British Religious Hatred in the PA
By Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook

Less than 24 hours after the July 7 terrorist bombings in London, a
Palestinian Authority Television sermon called for the extermination of
every single Infidel:
"Annihilate the Infidels and the Polytheists! Your [i.e. Allah's] enemies
are the enemies of the religion! Allah, disperse their gathering and break
up their unity, and turn on them, the evil adversities. Allah, count them
and kill them to the last one, and don't leave even one."
[Suleiman Al-Satari, PA TV, July 8, 2005.

This call for the genocide of all Infidels is particularly striking coming
as Britain was still reeling from the London terror attacks - especially
since PA religious usage routinely includes Britain in the "Infidel"
category. [See examples below.]

Such a call does not represent a new policy - or even a shift in policy.
While the PA is careful to exclude this hate ideology from the image it
presents to the foreign media, to its own people in Arabic the PA has always
presented itself as part of a greater Arab-Islamic conflict against the
West. This enmity is focused primarily on the US and Britain, who are seen
as the dominant forces of Western civilization. This enmity is neither time
nor event dependent, but is presented as part of Allah's plan. The ultimate
victory is predetermined, Palestinians are taught, and Islam will eventually
rule over America and Britain.

This representation of current affairs as an Islamic-Western religious
conflict is of particular significance given the overwhelming religious
sentiment in PA society. In a recent poll, 69% of Palestinians preferred
that the PA follow the Shari'a - Islamic religious law, while only 16%
preferred laws passed by their own Palestinian Legislature. Another 11%
wanted both. [Palestinian Center for Research and Cultural Dialogue, March
3, 2005]

The following is a review of some of this religious hate expression towards
Britain as reported in the PA media. It is important to understand the
depths of this pan-Islamic, anti-Western religious sentiment when searching
for the motivation of the London suicide terrorists.

Britain is among the Infidels

"America, Britain and Spain ... are uniting to strike at the people of truth
[i.e. Muslims] in their homeland. This is the Infidels' way, Oh Muslims...
The United Nations, to our regret, has become Dar al-Nadwa [literally 'House
of Assembly,' the term for the pre-Islamic meeting place in Mecca], because
that is where the Infidels meet."
Ibrahim Mudayris, PA TV, February 28, 2003.

"The Infidel countries under the leadership of the US made up an excuse and
justification to wage their dirty war [post 9-11 war in Afghanistan] against
Islam and the Muslims... Concerning evil Britain, which directly brought
about this corrupt entity [Israel] on Palestinian land. Britain forgot that
it is the height of terror and the height of hatred against Islam and
Moslems."
[Yusuf Abu Sneina, Iman of Al-Aqsa Mosque, PA Radio, December 28, 2001.

Prayers to Allah to destroy Britain

Dr. Ikrime Sabri, Mufti of Jerusalem, highest-ranking Islamic figure in the
Palestinian Authority, just 18 days before the September 11 attacks against
America in 2001:
"Oh, Allah, destroy America and its supporters and collaborators. Oh Allah,
destroy Britain and its supporters and collaborators."
[Ikrime Sabri, PA Radio, August 24, 2001.

"It is our obligation to prepare for the soldiers of Allah who are advancing
in the will of Allah, glorified and praised. We will prepare a foothold for
them. Allah willing, this oppressive state will disappear, the oppressive
state Israel. The oppressive country America will disappear. The oppressive
country Britain will disappear - those who caused our people's Catastrophe
[PA term for the establishment of Israel].
[Muhammad Ibrahim Maadi, PA TV, June 8, 2001.

"We shall rule Britain"- the ultimate victory is predetermined
"The Palestinian nation is the strongest on earth. Look at all the
civilizations! Look at all the states! Look at all the civilizations and
forces and empires. To where did Great Britain disappear..?
We [Muslims] have ruled the world and a day will come, by Allah, and we
shall rule the world [again]. The day will come and we shall rule America.
The day will come and we shall rule Britain."
[Ibrahim Mudayris, PA TV, May 13, 2005.

Britain hated because of war in Iraq
"Allah, punish our enemies! You enemies, the enemies of the Religion [i.e.
Islam]... Allah, punish America and those who set an alliance with it...
Destroy them and destroy their weapons... Allah, cleanse the land of Islam
from the treachery and shame, cleanse our lands from the conquerors' filth,
from the filth of America and the defilement of Britain..."
[Muhammad Jamal Abu Hanud, PATV, August 1, 2003]

Britain hated because of Israel's existence
"Those [Jews] do not know what a homeland is and do not know what a land
is... Concerning Palestine, it belongs to us...
They came, expelled from every land, came to this lanevery country andd
claming to have a national homeland on the land of Palestine, with the help
of Britain. That vengeance still stands between us and them; [a vengeance]
that will not be forgotten except by a coward or traitor."
[Ibrahim Mudayris, PATV, April 4, 2004]

"In 1917 of the previous century, Palestine was conquered by Britain, on
whom we place full responsibility for the events in this land. At this
opportunity, we put the responsibility on Britain [for the creation of the
state of Israel] and say: we will never forget our revenge! We will never
forget our revenge on Britain, who cannot escape the burden of its
historical, political and moral responsibility because of what it committed
on the land of Palestine...
"Britain [is the one] that promised them [i.e. Jews] the establishment of a
national homeland on the land of Palestine. Why? Because Britain resented
the Jewish presence there, in Britain, and wanted to be relieved of them..."
[Ibrahim Mudayris, PATV, May 13, 2005.
