HIS CALLS FOR BRITAIN’S DESTRUCTION:
On Palestinian Authority Radio, Sheikh Sabri said, “Allah, destroy the U.S., its helpers and its agents. Allah, destroy Britain, its helpers and its agents. Allah, prepare those who will unite the Muslims and march in the steps of Saladin.. Allah, grant victory to Islam and the Muslims.”
HIS SUPPORT FOR CHILD MARTYRDOM:
In an interview with Al-Ahram Al-Arabi, an Egyptian national newspaper, Sheikh Sabri said, “There is no doubt that a child [martyr] suggests that the new generation will carry on the mission with determination. The younger the martyr
– the greater and the more I respect him. They [mothers of martyrs] willingly sacrifice their o spring for the sake of freedom.”
Important Notes:
1. Sabri made his statements on child martyrdom just two days a er
a Palestinian child blew himself up at an Israeli checkpoint - the
first known suicide bombing carried out by a Palestinian child.
2. The vast majority of Palestinian child suicide bombings happened during the Second Intifada (also known as the al-Aqsa Intifada). It was at this time that Sabri was the highest authority on Islam in Jerusalem, being both the Grand Mu i of Jerusalem and the head
imam of the al-Aqsa mosque.
HIS DENIAL OF THE HOLOCAUST:
In an interview with Italian newspaper la Repubblica, on his way to visit the Pope, Sabri responded to a question about the Holocaust by stating, “Six million Jews dead? No way, they were much fewer. Let’s stop with this fairytale exploited by Israel to capture international solidarity. It is not my fault if Hitler hated Jews, indeed they were hated a little everywhere. Instead, it is necessary to denounce the unjust occupation endured by my people.”
HIS HATRED OF JEWS:
In an interview with Al-Ahram Al-Arabi, an Egyptian national newspaper, Sabri stated “I enter the mosque of al-Aqsa with my head up and at the same time I am filled with rage toward the Jews. I have never greeted a Jew when I
came near one. I never will. They cannot even dream that I will. they are the most cowardly creatures Allah has ever created.”
In a sermon broadcast on Voice for Palestine Radio, Sheikh Sabri called Jews “the descendants of apes and pigs”.
In a New York Times Magazine interview with Je rey Goldberg about the Temple Mount, he said “If the Jews want peace, they will stay away from [al-Aqsa].This is a decree from Allah. The Haram al-Sharif [Temple Mount] belongs to the Muslim. But we know the Jew is planning on destroying the Haram. The Jew will get the Christian to do his work
for him. This is the way of the Jews. This is the way Satan manifests himself.”
HIS THREATS OF VIOLENCE:
In an article in Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, the o icial daily newspaper of the Palestinian Authority, Sabri threatened “Jewish prayer at Al-Aqsa will prompt massacres the magnitude of which only Allah knows” and harm to Al-Aqsa will prompt “massacres and rivers of blood”.
Important Note:
Sabri threatened “massacres and rivers of blood” just two months before the Second Intifada, otherwise known as the al-Aqsa Intifada, began. The intifada started from al-Aqsa, incited by Sabri, a er Israeli MKs visited the site. Despite the Israelis receiving permission and assurances from Palestinian leaders that they could visit in peace, instead religious leaders like Sabri stirred up the Palestinian people to carry out a four year campaign of terror and violence against Israel which saw more than 1,000 Israelis (mostly civilians) killed at the hands of Palestinian terrorists, including over 140 suicide bombings.
HIS DENIED ENTRY INTO FRANCE:
In 2012, Reuters reported that Sheikh Ekrima Sabri was barred from entering France on a similar visit to the country. The French authorities said at the time that his “call for hate and violence” presented “a strong risk of upsetting public order”.
This is just a small portion of the incitement and words of Sabri and ultimately the actions the Palestinians took based on his teachings.
