Dictators and Terrorists: a congruent agenda. Argentina Indy Media:
The same week, at a support rally for Saddam Hussein held near Nablus, ranting participants pledged to “kill every American.” On the 9th of August, Sanaa Republic of Yemen Television broadcast a sermon live from the Grand Mosque in Sanaa. Shaykh Akram Abd-al-Razzaq al-Ruqayhi prayed to Allah, “O God, destroy the Jews€|; O God, destroy the Christians€|.freeze the blood in their veins.” On the same day, in Saudi Arabia, Saudi TV carried a different sermon – this time from Shaykh Usamah Abdallah Khayyat. Khayyat prayed, “O God, help the mujahidin in Palestine, Kashmir and Chechyna. O God, destroy the tyrant Jews.” In Quatar, the official TV station carries yet another sermon, delivered live from the Umar Bin-al-Kattab Mosque in Doha. Shaykh Anwar al-Badawi prayed to his God, “Islam does not know terrorism€|.it encourages martyrdom against aggressors€|O God, destroy the Jews; O God, pour out your anger on them. O God, destroy the usurper Jews and the vile Christians.”
My church often prays for the people of the Middle East, but its more along the lines of an end to violence and human suffering. I think in the US publically calling for the death of other people is considered hate speech and its against the law. So Houthi outside the mosque chanting “Death to America” is not acceptable but the Shaykh inside the mosque gets a live feed on national TV. Otay. I guess only officially approved people are allowed to push that big button. Like when Saleh tells the people that the US was going to invade after the Cole. (Meanwhile the only thing that was actually discussed in Congress after the Cole was possibly cutting some aid packages to encourage greater cooperation with the investigation. But that idea was quickly rejected when General Zinni vouched for President Saleh’s wholehearted sincerity.)
