Journalist: "How much weight do these sheikhs and dignitaries carry in the Al-Anbar and other provinces?"
Al-Jughaifi: "I apologize to you, to your other guest, and to the viewers, but these [sheikhs] are scum! Scum! They are worthless. They are viewed as worthless by their own people, so obviously they are worth nothing when they appear on TV. These people are chasing money, nothing else.

"We demand that they be executed, in accordance with Iraq's law and constitution. They should be executed according to [Penal Code] law 111. What are we waiting for?

The ones who should be executed are those who are the greatest offenders to our nation, our religion, and our country."
