The Friday sermon delivered by Sheik Abd Al-Ghafour Al-Qaysi at Abd Al-Qadr
Al-Gaylani Mosque in Baghdad was aired on Al-Arabia TV in Dubai in
collaboration with Al-Haram Mosque in Mecca. Throughout the sermon, the
preacher hoisted a gun. The following are excerpts from the sermon:
"Oh Mujahideen-believers! We have sworn Jihad before Muhammad... We are the
army of Allah. We who are fighting against those who are fighting us. Oh
Mujahideen-believers everywhere... The evil has arrived. The Satan and his
army. The Mujahideen have declared Jihad for the sake of Allah to bring down
the banners of the infidels and those full of hatred..."
"The war has started and evil is spouted from the mouths of those who have lied
and continue to lie, those who said that Baghdad will be occupied within hours.
And, as you can see, Baghdad is standing firm and everyone in it is carrying
arms. Every child in it is carrying arms, and even the women are carrying arms.
They will not defile the soil of Baghdad and they will not desecrate any inch
of our believing Iraq. Disappointment and defeat will be their fate."
"Therefore, this war demands patience. Be patient, Allah loves patient people
and supports their patience. He has promised them heaven and He will usher them
into heaven without any other consideration."
"For what purpose are you fighting, Oh evil men? We are fighting the Jihad for
the sake of Allah. We are fighting to [reach] heaven... They have been hired by
the enemy and were doomed in this world and doomed in the world to come. Their
dead are in hell because they have attacked a peaceful and believing country,
but blessings to anyone amongst us who died a death of a holy man because he
earns strength in this world and heaven in the world to come."
"This war has demonstrated who the men of faith are... Our Arab and Muslim
people everywhere call for the victory of Iraq... It is a test for the
believers in order for Allah to distinguish between the despised and the good.
It is a war between truth and falsehood... this is a war to be remembered in
history."
"We call on Muslims everywhere, and to Arabs. We say to them: this is the day
of Jihad. The Jihad has become a personal [duty] of every Muslim. To refrain
from Jihad today would constitute a violation of Allah's commands. It is a sin.
Long live the Jihad! The evil has arrived! The forces of disbelief have
mobilized armies..."
"Where are the men of honor? We want to show the enemies the power of Islam so
that when they attack a Muslim country they will not fall [under the illusion]
that Muslims are falling silent."
"Raise the banner of Islam. Raise the banner of Jihad. This war is not
different than the war of the polytheists against the Prophet. The criminal
Bush declares before the whole world, as the polytheists had declared in the
Battle of Badr [the first battle won by Prophet Muhammad against the
polytheists]: 'The world will recognize the strength of our army...'"
"The criminal Bush is bringing back to the world all the arrogance and the
insolence and all the criminality and the absence of humanity. He starts a war
that has no legitimate [basis] only for the purpose of satisfying his wicked
and evil soul and his thirst for pure blood. History repeats itself. But here
is his army defeated by the force of faith. And here are his modern weapons
falling against our simple weapon. We are fighting with the strength of Allah,
the strength of our faith. We only face Allah. Allah will bring victory to
those [who tell] the truth even if it takes a long time."
"Oh Mujahideen, oh believers. Everybody hears how the enemy's media... are
spreading rumors and lies which were refuted by the Mujahideen. They claimed -
to the whole world - that Iraq will come to its end. I say from this pure site
to all media outlets that spread the evil [man's] lies: You have to verify the
information [you are broadcasting]. They [the enemies] have no shame nor
conscience. They lie to people and they must be exposed... They want to delude
the people as if their army is at the gates of Baghdad... Media outlets in the
world should oppose this lie and verify the truth of their words, since they
have no conscience and no morality. This lie will be exposed by the brave
Mujahideen, in Iraq of the Jihad... The news channels have become a vehicle for
passing the enemy's lies."
"Oh men of the media, be careful to broadcast the truth [only]. Don't be a
[voice] for the administration of evil; Don't be a [voice] for the liars. This
is the real situation: Iraq is Iraq. It is fighting Jihad in its entirety.
Everyone carries arms, we fight them everywhere, so that none of them will be
able to defile our soil."
"Don't spread rumors; don't spread lies... We approve of every media outlet
that stands by the truth and refutes their evil words... We promise our
brothers everywhere: Iraq is in good shape, united, from end to end fighting
under the banner of 'Allah Akbar.' The sons of Iraq have united and stand in
one line [of battle] against the fierce attack."
"We fight to satisfy Allah while they fight to satisfy [the idol] Taghut. How
big is the difference between those who fight for the sake of Allah and those
who fight for Satan?!"
"Allah guard Iraq... Allah guard the Mujahideen... Allah sow fear in the hearts
of our enemies... Allah send [against] them soldiers they can not see... Allah
bring victory to Islam and the Muslims... Allah guard our army, our youth, and
our women from the evil of these villains... Allah guard the believing leader
of Iraq, the symbol of belief and Jihad, the leader Saddam Hussein."
