Following are excerpts from a video-clip of a rally in Mauritania attended by Sheik Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi, which was posted on the Internet on October 2010.

 

Omar Wild Hamadi: Don't dream of a peaceful solution,

forget these dreams.

 

In the world, there are eagles and wolves,

but no doves.

 

Don't dream of a peaceful solution,

forget these dreams.

 

In the world, there are eagles and wolves,

but no doves.

 

Rise and leave your home, don't sit idly by.

Carry your grenades.

 

Leave the seat for the cowards,

put down the pens.

 

Rise and leave your home, don't sit idly by.

Carry your grenades.

 

Leave the seat for the cowards,

put down the pens.

 

You shall write in your precious blood:

Long live Islam, long live Islam.

 

Don't gaze into your heart,

take the path of the heroes.

 

Forget your wife, forget your father,

forget the children.

 

Don't gaze into your heart,

take the path of the heroes.

 

Forget your wife, forget your father,

forget the children.

 

God Almighty will protect your child,

And the black-eyed virgins call you passionately:

Come on, come on.

 

God Almighty will protect your child,

And the black-eyed virgins call you passionately:

Come on, come on.

 

Even if your enemy is mighty, the war has its vicissitudes.

Even if your enemy is mighty, the war has its vicissitudes.

 

If canons are rare,

don't despair, and grab a stone.

 

To the tyrant, a stone of your land

is like a flame of fire.

 

If canons are rare,

don't despair, and grab a stone.

 

To the tyrant, a stone of your land

is like a flame of fire.

 

The enemy has killed your brothers –

rise to avenge their blood.

 

Avenge the blood of your brother,

your friend, and your neighbor.

 

The enemy has killed your brothers –

rise to avenge their blood.

 

Avenge the blood of your brother,

your friend, and your neighbor.

 

Avenge the honor of our nation,

wash away the shame.

 

Avenge the honor of our nation,

wash away the shame.

 

The tyranny of your enemies has lasted too long,

you must respond.

 

Rise and wage a resounding war,

like a roll of thunder.

 

The tyranny of your enemies has lasted too long,

you must respond.

 

Rise and wage a resounding war,

like a roll of thunder.

 

Rise and wage a resounding war,

like a roll of thunder.

 

You Lord has promised you victory

or eternal life.

 

You Lord has promised you victory

or eternal life.

 

If you live in a free man, with the support

of Allah, you will gain glory,

 

or else you will die a martyr and be blessed

with the fulfillment of the promise.

 

Audience member: Say: "Allah Akbar."

 

Crowd: Allah Akbar.
