Following are excerpts from a statement by Belgian Islamist Sheik Abu Imran opposite the Atomium Monument in Brussels, which was posted on the Internet on December 11, 2011:

Abu Imran: In the name of Allah, the Merciful the Compassionate. Praise be to Allah, and prayers upon the Prophet, his family, his companions, and his followers. This is a short message to the King of Belgium, the Belgian government, the Belgian people, and specifically to the Muslims in Belgium. This is the flag that, Allah willing, will soon be flying on top of that building over there. There you see the flag of the Taghut, of the infidels, and soon, the flag of "there is no god but Allah" will be flying there, on top of that palace…

Demonstrator: Say: Allah Akbar.

Crowd: Allah Akbar.

Abu Imran: …and on top of all the other palaces in Europe, until, Allah willing, we reach the White House. We will not rest, despite the lawsuits and intimidations, and despite the war they wage against the Islamic nation. We swear by Allah, the one and only God, that we will not rest, we will not stop, until this flag flies on top of that building.

Demonstrator: Say: Allah Akbar.

Crowd: Allah Akbar.

Demonstrator: Say: Allah Akbar.

Crowd: Allah Akbar.

Demonstrator: Say: Allah Akbar.

Crowd: Allah Akbar.

Abu Imran: We can see nowadays how people are taking photos, and how people from Brussels and from all over Europe come here for what is called "tourism," and take photos of this monument. They hold on to this monument. Allah be praised. On top, you can see the Belgian flag. This monument is a symbol of Belgium. They have put this symbol on the euro, and they have printed it on banknotes. This is a symbol of the state of Belgium. Soon, Belgium will fall apart. May Allah disperse them and their country.

Crowd: Amen.

Abu Imran: Then this symbol will be useless to them. Look how people view this monument as their Taghut, their idol.

[…]

Between 1995 and 2001, Mullah Omar, may Allah protect him, destroyed the symbols of idolatry [in Afghanistan], so we too should destroy these monuments. How can we demonstrate that we are Muslims? When we see that in Egypt, people hold on to pyramids, to the Sphinx… They have become places for tourists, for millions of businesses, and they even make little souvenirs for tourists, just like they have done with this monument here, the Atomium. They make little models of it for tourists, and sell them in souvenir shops. That is why we must free ourselves from this idolatry, and why we call upon everyone to stay away from idols and idolatry.

One of these idols is this Taghut here behind us, with the flag of the Taghut government on top of it, a symbol of the Taghut regime, the Taghut system, ruling this country. But Allah willing, Belgium will soon be freed from polytheism and idolatry. Belgium will be freed from the system of idolatry. We promise to clean Belgium of the system of idolatry, as well as of the idols themselves. Then we will demolish this symbol, this monument. Andy why? Not because of hatred.

I know people will try to twist my words, in order to prove that I call to destroy things. So why? Simply because the Belgian community could better use all the millions spent on renovating this monument, spent on electricity, spent on tourism.

That is why we say: We do not need these things. What we do need is free water, electricity, and gas for the Belgian people. We need to ensure the safety of Belgian Muslims and non-Muslims in the Islamic state that will replace this Taghut. Allah willing, the more Muslims who participate, the faster we will reach our goal of freeing Belgium from injustice, from tyranny, and from idolatry, and of implementing the purest form of Tawheed in our lives.

Demonstrator: Say: Allah Akbar.

Crowd: Allah Akbar.

Abu Imran: Let us live in an Islamic state, in which there is no idolatry, and there is only "There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is His Prophet."

Title reads: "Support our troops"
