Today's bit of raving paranoia brought to you by King Faysal University Professor, Dr. Umayma Ahmad Al-Jalahma and the Saudi daily Al-Watan.
King Faysal University Professor: 'Jews Consider Iraq Part of Greater Israel'
"…Let the facts speak for themselves. The Jewish rabbis recently issued a Fatwa [sic] stating that 'Iraq is part of Greater Israel.' The authors of that Fatwa issued calls to the Jewish troops annexed to the American and British forces, whose number barely exceeds 2,000, to recite a special prayer whenever they begin to erect a tent or build anything on Iraqi soil west of the Euphrates, specifically, because such regions are in their view part of the land of Greater Israel. This clarification was made by Rabbi Nahima Hahuri [3] [sic] and it is incumbent upon these [Jewish] soldiers, when they see Babylon, [to act] according to the ruling of the Jewish religion and say: 'Blessed are Thou, Oh Lord, King of the Universe, who demolished the evil Babylon.'"
