VIDEO CLAIMS TO SHOW IMAM ON JERUSALEM’S TEMPLE MOUNT CALLING FOR CALIPHATE AND DESTRUCTION OF THE U.S., FRANCE, BRITAIN, ROME Now, video has emerged of the events on the Temple Mount where the mosque is situated where it appears a Muslim religious leader also took the opportunity to virulently slam the U.S., Europe and Israel. “What happened at the al-Aqsa Mosque during last week’s Friday prayers should be sounding alarm bells in the U.S., Britain and France,” writes journalist Khaled Abu Toameh who for years has been covering the Palestinian beat for the Jerusalem Post. The Clarion Project translated a video taken at the July 12 gathering atop the holiest site in Judaism in which an imam from the group Hizb ut-Tahrir reportedly “incited a crowd of hundreds of Muslims calling for the destruction of America, France, Britain and Rome.” Hizb ut-Tahrir is a pan-Islamic organization that supports merging Muslim countries into a united Sharia-ruled Islamic caliphate. According to the Clarion Project translation of the rally Imam Ismat Al-Hammouri led the crowd in chanting these slogans: “Allah is Greater! [Allahu Akbar] Let America be destroyed!” “Allah is Greater! [Allahu Akbar] Let France be destroyed!” “Allah is Greater! [Allahu Akbar] Let Rome be destroyed!” […] “Allah is Greater! [Allahu Akbar] Let Britain be destroyed!” […] “We warn you America, leave Muslims alone. Leave Muslims alone because you messed around a lot in Syria and before that in Afghanistan and Iraq and now in Egypt,” the imam said. “America, what do you think we are? We are the Umma of Islam, a strong nation, a great nation, a nation from the farthest East to the farthest West that will soon teach you a lesson in politics and in war, Allah-willing,” he said. “Allah is greater and the outcome belongs to the devout…Listen, Obama, the Caliphate will return…the Caliphate is the answer,” he said. “Listen, Obama, we are a nation that does not bow down, and the Caliphate will return!” the imam added.
