Islamic Movement leader blames West for 'religious wars'
Deputy leader Kamal Khatib claims Paris attacks are 'nothing' compared to Protestant-Catholic conflicts, persecution of Muslims
Deputy Leader of the Islamic Movement in Israel Sheikh Kamal Khatib blamed the West for the world's religious wars, in a fiery Friday sermon at the Omar Ibn Al-Khattab Mosque in Kafr Kana last week, the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) reports.
"Their hearts are full of hatred and animosity, yet they talk about human rights," Khatib began.
He then listed a long history of atrocities the Christians - factually or allegedly - committed against Muslims, including the Spanish Inquisition.
"They would look for homes in which the lights were on early in the morning, in order to check if people had gotten up to pray, or for people wearing clean clothes on Fridays, whom they suspected of honoring this day," he said. "They would search for anyone who kept torn bits of Quran pages in his home, or anyone whose name sounded Muslim… They would kill them, burn them, slaughter them, and drag their bodies through the streets. This is what they did to us."
