PA cleric: We do not desire life, we pray even for Arafat's death
Ibrahim Mudayris, Official, PA Ministry of Religious Trusts and Religious Affairs:
"Regarding the threats of this Nazi mass murderer [Sharon] against President Arafat, we hereby tell him: We are not like you, we do not desire life. If you threaten to kill President Arafat, we will pray to Allah: 'Grant the President Shahada [Martyrdom] for You.' Yes, we do not pray – like other preachers pray – for longevity for the rulers; here in Palestine we pray: 'Lord, grant the President Shahada for You.'"
