The following are excerpts from an interview with Iraqi cleric Ahmad Al-Kubeisi, which aired on Dubai TV on May 27, 2005
Kubeisi: What characterizes the Arabs is that they are spontaneous, emotional, hospitable, befriend easily. They forgive their rivals quickly. I mean, two kind words and the rivalry is over.
Some nations and peoples – when they get mad, there is no appeasing them. They become your enemy and do whatever they want to you, with cunning, violence, malice, and treachery. The Arabs have never violated an agreement. Our lives today are a collection of betrayals. Britain promised independence and unity to the Arabs, but betrayed them. The agreements with Israel… Everything that has happened in modern times is betrayal, betrayal, betrayal… lies and weak pretexts. This is what we've come to. When The Arabs ruled the world for 15 centuries, they never did this to anyone.
I don't believe that any Arab harbors hatred in his heart for anyone - Not for America, and not for Israel. We can make peace with them in two days and with two words. But they will never forget you were once their enemy. They will never forget it. They will wait for disaster to befall you, and then are creative in humiliating you, destroying your religion, ideas, faith, regime, and corrupting everything. They corrupted our media, our press, our education, our media, our economy, and our religion. They left no stone unturned.
Our nation loves everybody. We've heard that some armies fight… I mean, there are armies like the Irish army, the Japanese army, and wars in Spain. Some armies have been slaughtering and murdering for fifty or sixty years, and no one calls it Christian terrorism or I-don't-know-what terrorism.
