If we must despair of your mercy, if we are sure there is no escape, we shall seek death like men. We shall hurl ourselves at you. We shall cast ourselves into the fire. Above all we shall not dishonor ourselves. No one will be wounded before he has first wounded ten men himself. We will burn the houses and pull down the Dome and leave you to the shame of reducing us to slavery. We shall tear up the Rock and leave you to enjoy the grief of losing it. We will kill every Muslim prisoner in our hands- and we have thousands. We will destroy our possessions before handing them over.
