Iyad Abu Funun: Let me
say something clearly to the Zionists, something that should reach all those
enemies – whether left-wing, right-wing, secular, religious, or extremist.
Regardless of their appearance or the color of their skin, they are on the land
of Islam, and the Muslims, on the land of the Prophet’s nocturnal journey. Any
of our enemies living on this land must understand that they have no place on
this land.
Brother,
could you bring me a copy of the Quran? I want to swear on the Quran that not a
single Jew will remain on this land. Not a single settler will remain on this
land. Absolutely not. The sheikhs who preceded me swore on the Quran [a producer hands Abu Funun a Quran] that
not a single Jew would remain on this land and that you would not win any
battle. I too swear on the Quran that by Allah the Almighty, who created the
skies above and all creatures, who sent us the Quran and the messengers, who
created Paradise and Hell, life and death, we will not leave a single Jew on
our Islamic land – no child, no adult, no settler, no soldier, nobody of
Eastern or Western origin. No Jew will remain on the land of Islam and the
Muslims.
This is
my vow on behalf of the entire Palestinian people, and of the Arab and Islamic
nation in its entirety, from East to West. If the enemies do not understand
this, they are stupid. They have not read the books of history. Go and read
them, and learn what happened between us. In the days when the Prophet Muhammad
was in Medina, the Jews of Bani Qaynuqa’, of Bani Nazir, and Bani Qurayza were
there. What did you do? You betrayed the Prophet once and did not learn your
lesson. You betrayed him a second, third, and fourth time, and did not learn
your lesson. We trampled on you time and again.
Our
nation is invincible. We are killed, martyred, wounded… When a thousand are
killed, thousands come in their place. When one commander is killed, a thousand
take his place. We are nation that cannot come to an end.
Read
the books of history carefully, and learn who were the men who were educated by
the Prophet Muhammad. Go back to the history books. When we set out to fight
the Byzantines in the battle of Mu’tah, we had 3,000 fighters, while the
Byzantine numbered 200,000. We, the men educated by the Prophet Muhammad, are
invincible. Don’t talk to me about security forces, airplanes, tanks,
intelligence agencies, about detentions, deportations, destruction of homes,
missiles… This is all meaningless. The Quran is in our hearts, and you and all
your forces cannot rip it out.
Therefore,
you should study the books of history because history repeats itself. Our
tragedies will not repeat themselves. This is where the equation ends. We and
you are on the same land, but we have our complete faith in Allah and in the
strength of the mujahideen, and will not leave a single one of you, alive or
dead, on this land. By Allah, we will dig up your bones from the graves and get
them out of this country. We will not leave any trace of you on this land.
