In a sermon from a mosque in Ramallah, a preacher on official Palestinian Authority (PA) TV prayed that Allah “strike the thieving Jews and the aggressive Crusader Christians.”

He then went on to describe them all as “increasing corruption” in the world:

PA TV preacher: “O Allah, strike the thieving Jews, and strike the aggressive Crusader Christians who have behaved arrogantly and tyrannically on earth and increased corruption on it. 

O Allah, whip them with the whip of torment, and show us a black day for them.”

As documented by Palestinian Media Watch, the PA shows complete disrespect for Christianity by hijacking Jesus, turning him into a Palestinian, a Muslim, and the first “self-sacrificing fighter” — a term the PA uses to define Palestinian terrorists, and a “Shahid” –“Islamic Martyr,” which is portraying him as being in Paradise married to 72 virgins.

Now the PA has gone even further, defining Christians as Crusaders, indicating that the religious wars of the Middle Ages are continuing. And since the religious war continues, the preacher prayed for Allah to “strike the aggressive Crusader Christians.”

Another regular PA TV preacher recently insulted the Jews, and called on Allah to “protect Islam, the Muslims and the Al-Aqsa Mosque” from the “impurity, filth and defilement of the Jews”:

PA Shari’ah Judge Abdallah Harb: “Allah protect the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque from the impurity of the Jews, the filth of the Jews, and their defilement, O Master of the Universe.”
