Hamas goes double or nothing

Yasser Arafat was fond of saying that he'd sacrifice a million 'martyrs' for Jerusalem (never including himself of course). On Friday, a Hamas Imam preaching from what was left of a Gaza ~~mosque~~ ammunition dump, called for two million 'martyrs' (not including the Hamas leadership, of course).

Let's go to the videotape.

Let them all be 'martyrs.' Faster... Faster....

Jerusalem imam threatens Obama

An imam at Jerusalem's al-Aqsa mosque on the Temple Mount uploaded a nearly 11-minutes video to YouTube that threatened to hang US President Barack Obama for ordering Osama Bin Laden killed.

An imam from the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem vowed to take revenge over "the western dogs" for killing Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in Pakistan on Sunday.

In a Youtube video uploaded by the imam he said: "The western dogs are rejoicing after killing one of our Islamic lions. From Al-Aqsa Mosque, where the future caliphate will originate with the help of God, we say to them – the dogs will not rejoice too much for killing the lions. The dogs will remain dogs and the lion, even if he is dead, will remain a lion."

The imam then verbally attacked US President Barack Obama saying: "You personally instructed to kill Muslims. You should know that soon you'll hang together with Bush Junior."

"We are a nation of billions, a good nation. We'll teach you about politics and military ways very soon, with god's help," he vowed.

Nice guy, huh? The video is Arabic only (no translation) so I won't embed it.
