The video is, of course, a hoax; but the interesting thing is that it's originally a hoax perpetrated by a Shia Muslim satellite TV station as a way of mocking Wahsabi Sunni Muslims. In other words, it's the equivalent of a Protestant making derogatory jokes about Catholics, or a Greek Orthodox TV station spreading scatological rumours about a fictitious Anabaptist sermon.
Turns out Islam isn't one big thing and Muslims don't all believe the same stuff, just like Christianity. Who knew?
Of course since it originally appeared around 2009 it has been taken up and spread as fact by a number of Far Right groups, some of which have links to Israeli intelligence. It's a bit like when idiots post stories from The Onion on Facebook, believing them to be actual news, not satire.
The original statement read out in the video can be found in the Internet Archive, posted on an Arabic forum: www.montdiatna.com.
If you don't know any Arabic, the fact that the name “Sheikh Abu al-Dema al-Qasab” translates to Sheikh Bloody Butcher should be enough of a giveaway
