Baghdad faithful defy bombs to converge on mosques

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Defiant residents of Baghdad converged on mosques 
for Friday prayers, enraged rather than cowered by U.S. bombs raining 
down on the capital in the second week of the U.S.-led war to oust
President Saddam Hussein.

"You can see and hear the missiles and bombs raining down on us and 
yet Muslims are coming to the house of God to pray," said the preacher 
at the "Mother of All Battles" Mosque. "Your relationship with God 
gets stronger and stronger with every missile and every bomb your 
enemy drops on you."

While he spoke, the mosque compound shook as some 15 bombs and 
missiles crashed into an area northwest of Baghdad. The rumble of 
explosions, mixed with a barrage of Iraqi anti-aircraft fire, 
compounded the rage of worshippers but did not stop them from 
pursuing their service.

Instead, preacher and worshippers began chanting Islam's rallying 
chant of Allahu Akbar.

"To you faithful: Our country is passing through the second week of 
a fateful Islamic battle. The war that you are fighting against the
infidels -- the British and Americans -- is an ideological one. They 
want to extinguish in us the light of Islam," the preacher said.

He said the United States and its allies were waging war on Baghdad 
as the only Arab capital that had defied their policies by "raising 
the banner of jihad (holy struggle) and mobilising its army to 
liberate Palestine" from Israeli occupation. "They are attacking us 
because this country has a fighting spirit and this spirit will 
liberate our land from the infidels who attacked us," he said in 
the mosque, built after the 1991 Gulf War that Saddam called the 
"Mother of all Battles".

"Don't forget that Baghdad was the capital of the Abassid Islamic 
dynasty. Don't forget that from this country the Islamic armies 
conquered the world. From Baghdad came the best scholars and clerics," 
he said.

NO FEAR OF DEATH

Despite a night of relentless bombardment and fear of more strikes,
thousands of worshippers flocked to Friday prayers to seek strength 
for what many believe will be a protracted war. The preacher told 
them that a week of Iraqi resistance had destroyed a widespread myth 
that the mighty American and British armies would conquer and sweep 
through Baghdad in two days.

"This is what has infuriated our enemy, that you are people who do 
not fear death and martyrdom, that you are impregnable people who 
have pride, dignity and honour," he added.

Sermons have become more inflammatory since U.S.-led forces began 
their war last week to oust Saddam for allegedly failing to give up 
weapons of mass destruction he denies he has.

At Baghdad's Abu Hanifa mosque, the preacher said: "The banner of 
Islam will remain raised over this capital even if this battle costs 
us hundreds of thousands of dead. No matter how long this battle 
takes, be patient! Victory is coming with the help of God." He said 
Muslims were passing through a critical and fateful time in their 
history and that it was the duty of Muslims to put aside their 
differences and unite to fight "the enemies of God".

"O God, bless the souls of our martyrs, heal our wounded and help our
soldiers. Oh God, strike the oppressors. O God, please destroy their 
tanks, shoot down their planes and shake the ground under their feet."
