MEMRI: Friday Sermon in Tripoli and Hizbullah Leader on Possibility of Civil War
The following are excerpts from a Friday sermon at Ahmad Pasha Mosque in Tripoli, Libya, aired on Libya TV on February 3, 2006, and excerpts from a speech by Hizbullah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, aired on Al-Jazeera
TV on February 16, 2006.
* Clip No. 1042: Friday Sermon in Tripoli, Libya: Millions Were Killed in the World's Wars, Yet They Accuse Islam of Terrorism; Garaudy Defended Islam When He Wrote about the Holocaust Preacher: Hitler killed a million Germans, more than 1,700,000 in Russia, and 2,700,000 at the Battle of Stalingrad - under the walls of Stalingrad.
Many millions were killed in World War I, in World War III [sic], in the Sino-Indian War, in Vietnam, and in other wars. Millions were killed "by their own hands" - "They destroy their own homes by their own hands, and by the hands of the Muslims." And then they go and accuse Islam of terrorism.
Why? Because Islam has invaded the hearts, and captured the minds, without a single drop of blood being shed. [...] One and one-third billion pledge their allegiance to you, [Prophet Muhammad] - a pledge of death and martyrdom, because your teachings cannot be harmed. Bravo to the martyrdom for the sake of Allah. Bravo to the martyrdom for elevating the word of Allah. Bravo to martyrdom for elevating the word of truth.

*Clip No. 1041: Hizbullah Secretary-General Nasrallah Responds to Jumblatt:
This Rhetoric Has Brought Lebanon to the Brink of Civil War
Hassan Nasrallah: It is only natural for us to talk about things that are holy, and if the homeland is holy, then the resistance, which defended the homeland, is holy along with the homeland. The weapons that liberated this land are holy, and the blood that was shed upon this land, in order to keep the Lebanese interests elevated, is holy blood. If it were not for this holiness of the resistance, its weapons, and its blood, the armies of the Israeli occupation would still be in Beirut. [...]
Whoever has not tasted the taste of Jihad does not understand Jihad. Whoever has not tasted the taste of martyrdom does not understand martyrdom. Let me tell you that the fighting of the original enemy of the prophets, of Lebanon, of the Arabs, and of humanity has a different taste than street-fighting in dark allies.
[...] The political rhetoric we heard two days ago [from Jumblatt] brings the country to the brink of civil war. I am not exaggerating, I am telling it as it is. It brings the country to the brink of civil war - much of this rhetoric, not all of it.
