Translation, Please: "Allah huma dammer al yehud wal nasara....."

UPDATE BELOW

Well, this is a doozy of a comment, and I welcome some corroboration of the translation and that this "prayer" was recited at the Islamic Society of Boston mosque (which is located on Prospect Street, Cambridge):

"In the first week of October 2001 there was a prayer chanted by a preacher from a podium on Prospect Street in the Friday sermon. And this prayer (typed below) continued off and on till October 2005 in Friday sermons. It was in Arabic...... What ideology allows this kind of prayer? And at Friday noon prayer there are women and young children present also. What shade of Islam allows this?"

"Allah huma dammer al yehud wal nasara.
Allah huma almaqtal rejalihim
Wa yatimun atfalihim. Ameen. Sum ameen."

According to the commenter, this translates as:

"Oh Allah, destroy the jews and the christians.
Oh Allah, the killing should include their men and their women,
and make orphan their offsprings. Amen."

That's a special sort of prayer, isn't it?  It's probably not one used at any interfaith gatherings. 

If any Arabic speakers out there want to comment on this translation, be my guest.  If anyone else can confirm that this prayer was recited there, please send me an e-mail ([email protected]).  The commenter wrote further:

"(I) Did not see this in the Holy Quran. Where did this preacher beam down from?
As a Muslim I am deeply offended and ashamed. Why bring it up? Just to tell this preacher that he should think for a moment what effect this would have had on young minds (if he has any human conscience). I can only pray that God guide this preacher to the path of human decency.....the path of Islam! "

Yikes stripes. If the preacher is/was really leading this despicable call for the destruction of Jews and Christians, then I can only conclude that this preacher is completely aware of its effect on young minds, and that's exactly what he was trying to do!  If this allegation is true, then Sheikh Ahmed Mansour was right on target, wasn't he?

UPDATE: The translation was confirmed by a native Arabic speaker who is also an authority on Islamic religious practice in the Middle East.  One slight difference is that the line "Allah huma almaqtal rejalihim" was translated as "Oh Please God: kill their men."

I am sorry to say that I have a very hard time understanding why any truly religious person would want to be a part of Islam. I am not trying to offend anyone, it just honestly baffles me. It's difficult to see the "peaceful" side of Islam when daily there are so many awful stories tied to this religion.Again, no intent to offend.
