''God, please kill them all!''
Inside the Mother of All Battles mosque, the prayer leader counseled Iraqis to be patient and sought God's help Friday against U.S. forces massing in the Persian Gulf. "Destroy their planes. Burn their tanks. Turn their cannons back upon them," implored Imam Thaer Ibrahim Al-Shomari, a day after the Bush administration declared Iraq in material breach of U.N. resolutions.Ummm... Don't hold your breath, Imam. Iraqi Foreign Minister Naji Sabri was at the mosque when 30-year-old Al-Shomari appeared to address the deity on behalf of Saddam Hussein's government. "God, keep our country from the evils of the Americans... Take revenge on them, God. Protect our country from the evils of the British and Jews," the imam prayed. "Oh, especially the Jews!" Leaving the women's section of the Mother of All Battles mosque, Sondos Khaled, a 29-year-old mother of two, voiced support for Saddam. "We are not worried about our children. We worry about President Saddam Hussein. As long as he exists, we exist. If he goes, Iraq will never be the same Iraq," she said. She didn't mention whether that would be a bad thing or a good thing... Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2002-12-21 |
