Israeli Salafi Imam Nazem Abu Salim: We Are on the Verge of Defeating the US

Following are excerpts from a Friday sermon delivered by Israeli Salafi Imam Sheik Nazem Abu Salim, a.k.a. Abu Osama Al-Naseri, at the Shihab Al-Din Mosque in Nazareth. The members of the alleged Nazareth jihadist terror cell whose arrest was announced on June 28, 2010, have been tied to Abu Salim and the Shihab Al-Din Mosque. The sermon was delivered on June 25, 2010, and posted on the Internet on June 29.

Sheik Nazem Abu Salim: In the court of the Anti-Christ in the World Cup, the Algerian and American teams confronted one another. Some sheiks called to pray for the Algerian team to beat the US team, but America defeated Algeria. Many were sad that we did not beat America in its own court – the court of the Anti-Christ.

But my dear brothers, I can tell you with all honesty and certainty that even though Algeria lost to the US in the court of the Anti-Christ, in the court of real men, we have defeated America.

Look at Petraeus, their military commander, one of their greatest generals. While talking about the arena of real men, about Khorasan [Afghanistan], he collapsed before Congress, in his military uniform. He was unable to stand on his feet. Allah wanted to humiliate him, while he was talking – just talking – in Congress, about men and the court of real men. In full uniform, with his medals and his scepter, he collapsed before the eyes of his kinsmen. Thus, Allah gave us a sign that all these people will be defeated, Allah willing. Just like all the arrogant people, you will be defeated and sent to Hell.

Yes, my honorable people, look at what happened to McChrystal, the commander of those people in Afghanistan. He was fired and dismissed, even though he was their top general in the battlefield there.

We are on the verge of defeating America in our court, even though Algeria did not defeat America in the court of America. In the court of real men, we defeat America, but in the court of America and the Anti-Christ, they defeat us. This is the grace of Allah, not to mention the great things that happen to those people.

Have you heard of that great black oil spill, which they are unable to control? It has been causing pollution for a month, but they are unable to defeat it. What will happen, then, if the soldiers of Allah attack them? We see how hurricanes, in the service of Allah, strike their countries.

[...]

We hear about the fire ants, which attack their soldiers in the heart of their country and in the battlefield. They do not know where the fire ants come from, and they do not know how to fight them. If an ant reaches one of the [soldiers] and burns him, they are unable to cure him. All these things are documented over there.
