May 24, 2013: "Oh Allah, Destroy The Accursed Jews... Disperse Them And Kill Them All, Turn Their Children Into Orphans And Their Wives Into Widows"
Muhammad Al-Zughbi: "Oh Allah, protect Egypt from the manipulators and the corrupt. Protect it from the criminal traitors and the criminal rafidites [Shi'tes]. Protect it from the accursed Jews. Protect it from the Crusaders and from those who are ignorant of their religion. Oh Allah, protect Egypt from all Your enemies. [...]
"Oh Allah, destroy the accursed Jews. Oh Allah, disperse them and kill them all, turn their children into orphans and their wives into widows. Let them serve as a warning. [...]
SUPPORT OUR WORK
"Oh Allah, destroy the Arab rulers. Bring dark hours upon them, and demonstrate the wonders of Your might upon them. Oh Allah, abandon them, just as they abandoned Syria. Oh Allah, destroy them and put them to shame for the whole world to see. [...]
"Oh Allah, destroy Bashar, destroy the Shi'te Iranians, destroy Hizbullah, destroy that infidel, Hassan Nasrallah. Inflict cancer and pain upon him. Bring Your might to bear upon him and upon the Shi'tes of Iraq. Bring dark hours upon them, and demonstrate the wonders of Your might upon them. You destroyed 'Aad and Thamud, Nimrod, and Pharaoh – annihilate the Shi'tes." [...]
May 31, 2013: "Oh Allah, The Rafidite Shi'tes From Iran, From Hizbullah, And From Iraq... Slaughtered [The Sunnis'] Sons, And Humiliated Their Women"
"Oh Allah, support the Sunnis in Syria, feed the hungry among them, quench the thirst of the thirsty among them, cover the naked among them, strengthen them, and guide their shooting. Oh Allah, support the Sunnis in Syria. Everybody ganged up against them, and deceivers deceived them.
"Oh Allah, the rulers of the Arabs and the Muslims united against them. They are hypocrites, along with the accursed U.S.A., for the benefit of Israel. Oh Allah, the rafidite Shi'tes from Iran, from Hizbullah, and from Iraq came to them, slaughtered their sons, and humiliated their women.
"Oh Allah, their children and infants are slaughtered with knives in front of their fathers and their mothers. Have mercy upon the infants and the children. Girls, women, and mothers were raped by the rafidite Shi'tes. [...]
"Oh Allah, have mercy upon them! The rafidite Shi'tes slaughtered them in their homes, in front of their families. Have mercy upon the children and upon the girls who were raped. Have mercy upon the Sunnis. Have mercy! We are pleading with you, in Your mosque, today. We do not plead with anyone but You. We do not plead with presidents, ministers, kings, or princes. We have given up on them. We beg you, have mercy! We do not plead with anyone but You. We pray to You." [...]
