* Clip No. 1042: Friday Sermon in Tripoli, Libya: Millions Were Killed in
the World's Wars, Yet They Accuse Islam of Terrorism; Garaudy Defended Islam
When He Wrote about the Holocaust
Preacher: Hitler killed a million Germans, more than 1,700,000 in Russia,
and 2,700,000 at the Battle of Stalingrad - under the walls of Stalingrad.
Many millions were killed in World War I, in World War III [sic], in the
Sino-Indian War, in Vietnam, and in other wars. Millions were killed "by
their own hands" - "They destroy their own homes by their own hands, and by
the hands of the Muslims." And then they go and accuse Islam of terrorism.
Why? Because Islam has invaded the hearts, and captured the minds, without a
single drop of blood being shed. [...] One and one-third billion pledge
their allegiance to you, [Prophet Muhammad] - a pledge of death and
martyrdom, because your teachings cannot be harmed. Bravo to the martyrdom
for the sake of Allah. Bravo to the martyrdom for elevating the word of
Allah. Bravo to martyrdom for elevating the word of truth.

*Clip No. 1041: Hizbullah Secretary-General Nasrallah Responds to Jumblatt:
This Rhetoric Has Brought Lebanon to the Brink of Civil War

Hassan Nasrallah: It is only natural for us to talk about things that are
holy, and if the homeland is holy, then the resistance, which defended the
homeland, is holy along with the homeland. The weapons that liberated this
land are holy, and the blood that was shed upon this land, in order to keep
the Lebanese interests elevated, is holy blood. If it were not for this
holiness of the resistance, its weapons, and its blood, the armies of the
Israeli occupation would still be in Beirut. [...] Whoever has not tasted
the taste of Jihad does not understand Jihad. Whoever has not tasted the
taste of martyrdom does not understand martyrdom. Let me tell you that the
fighting of the original enemy of the prophets, of Lebanon, of the Arabs,
and of humanity has a different taste than street-fighting in dark allies.
[...] The political rhetoric we heard two days ago [from Jumblatt] brings
the country to the brink of civil war. I am not exaggerating, I am telling
it as it is. It brings the country to the brink of civil war - much of this
rhetoric, not all of it.
