Egyptian Sheik Khaled Kholif: We Must Commence Our War with the Shiites

In a May 15 Friday sermon titled "Let's Start with the Shiites, before the Jews," posted on the Internet, Egyptian cleric Khaled Al-Kholif said that Sunni Muslims should commence their war with the Shiites or else "the Jews and Crusaders will become the decision-makers" in our own countries.


Following are excerpts:


Khaled Khalif: Our problem with the Jews and Christians in this world is ongoing. You get rid of the Christians, and along come the Jews, and so on. Our war with them is a war of religion and of existence. This is not a war over Arab identity, over some regional issue, over petroleum, or over border crossings. It is much more serious than that. It is a war over religion and its basic principles. It is a war between us and them over religious creed.


[...]


Is it justified to be worried about modern Shiite ideology? The answer is: Yes. It is justified a thousand times over. Anyone who does not know and feel this should remember history. We don't want another [Shiite conquerer] like the Fatimid Al-Mu'izz li-Din Allah.


[...]


If those [Shiites] gain power and become firmly established, the Jews and the Crusaders will become the decision-makers in our own countries. We will become foreigners in our own countries. The nation must confront these [Shiites] by all possible means.


[...]


Our war with the Jews is a simple one, but our war with these [Shiites] is very serious, and we must commence it.
