Following are excerpts from a speech delivered by Egyptian cleric Muhammad
Hussein Ya'qoub, which aired on Al-Rahma TV on January 17, 2009.
Muhammad Hussein Ya'qoub: "If the Jews left Palestine to us, would we start
loving them? Of course not. We will never love them. Absolutely not. The Jews
are infidels - not because I say so, and not because they are killing Muslims, but
because Allah said: 'The Jews say that Uzair is the son of Allah, and the
Christians say that Christ is the son of Allah. These are the words from their
mouths. They imitate the sayings of the disbelievers before. May Allah fight
them. How deluded they are.' It is Allah who said that they are infidels.
"Your belief regarding the Jews should be, first, that they are infidels, and
second, that they are enemies. They are enemies not because they occupied
Palestine. They would have been enemies even if they did not occupy a thing.
Allah said: 'You shall find the strongest men in enmity to the disbelievers [sic]
to be the Jews and the polytheists.'
Third, you must believe that the Jews will never stop fighting and killing
us. They [fight] not for the sake of land and security, as they claim, but for the
sake of their religion: 'And they will not cease fighting you until they turn you
back you're your religion, if they can.'
"This is it. We must believe that our fighting with the Jews is eternal, and it will
not end until the final battle - and this is the fourth point. You must believe that
we will fight, defeat, and annihilate them, until not a single Jew remains on the
face of the Earth."
"As For You Jews - The Curse of Allah Upon You... You Pigs of the Earth! You
Kill the Muslims With That Cold Pig [Blood] Of Yours"
"It is not me who says so. The Prophet said: 'Judgment Day will not come until
you fight the Jews and kill them. The Jews will hide behind stones and trees,
and the stones and tree will call: Oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew
behind me, come and kill him - except for the Gharqad tree, which is the tree of
the Jews.' I have heard that they are planting many of these trees now.
[...]
"As for you Jews - the curse of Allah upon you. The curse of Allah upon you,
whose ancestors were apes and pigs. You Jews have sown hatred in our
hearts, and we have bequeathed it to our children and grandchildren. You will
not survive as long as a single one of us remains.
[...]
"Oh Jews, may the curse of Allah be upon you. Oh Jews... Oh Allah, bring
Your wrath, punishment, and torment down upon them. Allah, we pray that
you transform them again, and make the Muslims rejoice again in seeing them
as apes and pigs. You pigs of the earth! You pigs of the earth! You kill the
Muslims with that cold pig [blood] of yours."
