Ahmad Sarraf: "To the Israeli regime, the Israeli human being is the most important thing. For us, unfortunately, when 6,000 or 10,000 die in a war here and there, we say that they ascended to heaven and that this is Allah's decision. Maybe they did ascend to heaven, and maybe they didn't, but this does not change the fact that we lost them. We have no value for human life. Only when human life becomes valuable to us, will this mark the beginning of the 1,000 mile journey to restoring the rights of the Palestinians in their land.
"I called [ISIS] 'a sentimental movement' because in the heart and mind of every one of us there is a little ISIS. ISIS has not been rejected by Al-Azhar, or by Naiaf or Tehran, or by Kairounan in Tunisia or by any [similar Islamic institution]. This means that ISIS is part of us.
Interviewer: "Do you mean that the Islamic and Arab world holds the same ideology as ISIS?"
Sarraf: "Not necessarily, but in the mind of every Muslim person there is a little ISIS, lying dormant, waiting for the right time to come out. We, as Muslims, reject the entire world. We do not respect the world. We have [religious] texts that justify this behavior, yet we criticize others because their texts preach hatred towards us and our rejection."
