"This is a dream come true. Today, the number of Muslims is multiplying because of what is happening in Gaza. Today, Gaza is giving a new interpretation to the Holy Quran. People used to read verses, but perhaps did not understand what they meant. Now, when they see what is happening in Gaza, they understand the meaning of many of these verses, because of many details that are evident every day in Gaza. So what is happening in Gaza is not about 100 destroyed houses or 1,000 martyrs. The story is much bigger. Gaza today has taught us a lesson – not just to the occupation, but to the Islamic nation, and the world. The implications, fruits, and outcome are extensive. We will rebuild the houses, and will produce dozens more for each martyr. They are the price we need to pay."
