Abu Hamza's Thoughts About Moslems' Love of Death
From MEMRI, excerpts from a Friday sermon at Finsbury Park Mosque in London, delivered by Sheikh Abu Hamza Al-Masri.
.... one should not pray for the souls of members of the security forces in our countries, if they are killed while fighting Islamists. One should under no circumstances pray for their souls because they fight for the taghut. They are fighting for ... the presence of Jews and Christians in the Arabian Peninsula. .... To pray for such people in mosques makes a mockery of the religion of Allah, because it misleads people and makes them believe that these are fighters for Allah, whereas they kill Muslim men and women unjustly. .... Those who fight for the taghut go to hell. Since they are in hell, then one should not pray for their souls, and one should not mislead people in this matter. ....

We find even among the Palestinian youth — the girls, the women, and the children ... — what unites all ... is their love of death for the sake of Allah .... The Prophet Muhammad said: '... I wish that I should fight for Allah and be killed and come back to life, and fight, and be killed, and come back to life, and fight, and be killed.' And he repeated that time and again. ....

Abu Dharr was among those who, when asked what they love best in this world, said: 'I love death.' He said, 'I love illness, I love hunger, and I love death.' The Prophet asked him: 'Why do you love that which by nature other people hate, Abu Dharr?' And he answered: 'I love hunger because when I am hungry my heart becomes gentle; I love illness because when I am ill my sins decrease; and I love death because when I die I shall meet my Lord.' ....
