Introduction: The following are excerpts from Friday´s sermon (August 3, 2001), on official Palestinian Authority TV.

The Text: "I heard a youth say, ´Oh, Sheikh, I am now 14 years old. I have 4 more years and then I will go to blow myself up among Allah´s enemies, I will blow myself up among the Jews.´ " I said to him, ´Allah should let you merit Martyrdom and let me merit Martyrdom´...

"All weapons must be aimed at the Jews, at the enemies of Allah, the cursed nation in the Koran, whom the Koran describes as monkeys and pigs, worshippers of the calf and idol worshippers.

"Allah shall make the Moslem rule over the Jew, we will blow them up in Hadera, we will blow them up in Tel-Aviv and in Netanya in the righteousness of Allah against this rif-raff, we will fight against them and rule over them until the Jew will hide behind the trees and stones and the tree and stone will say: ´Moslem! Servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, kill him!´

"We will enter Jerusalem as conquerors, and Jaffa as conquerors, and Haifa as conquerors and Ashkelon as conquerors, we are certain that the victory is quickly coming….as we bless anyone who rises against a soldier, we bless all those who educate their children to Jihad and to Martyrdom, blessings to he who shot a bullet into the head of a Jew...

[The preacher signs off his sermon] "Allah, make for them [the Jews] a black day, like the day of A’ad and Tha’mud! [tribes that were destroyed] Allah, make for them a black day, like the day of A’ad and Tha’mud! Allah, make for them a black day, like the day of A’ad and Tha’mud!" (PMW 08/08/01)
