Egypt's imams launch attack on Hamas

[Caladan]

Mosques across Egypt have launched scathing attacks on Hamas in the wake of the killing of an Egyptian border guard by a Palestinian gunman earlier in the week, the London-based- Al-Quds Al-Arabi newspaper reported Saturday.
According to the report, imams throughout the country used their Friday sermons to lash out at the Islamic group which controls the Gaza Strip.

One, at a Cairo mosque, asked the gunman what he would tell his God "tomorrow." Another said that Egypt had sacrificed thousands for Palestine.

Yet another blamed Hamas for the ongoing besiegement of Gaza at the hands of Israel, saying its leaders wished to stay in power "even at the cost of the starvation and expulsion of their people." He added that the Palestinian gunman would go to hell if he does not repent.
The report quoted a source in Egypt's Ministry of Awqaf, which is in charge of religious endowments, who said the string of attacks on Hamas was coordinated by the Egyptian government. Officials in Cairo denied this.

On Tuesday clashes erupted between members of an aid convoy and Egyptian riot police in the Mediterranean port city of El-Arish after the convoy was delayed due to some of the materials it was carrying, and dozens of protesters and police were injured. Seven convoy members were ordered arrested if they returned to Egypt. A sympathy protest along the Gaza-side of the border Wednesday degenerated into stone-throwing scuffles and exchange of fire between Egyptian security and Palestinian gunmen, killing the Egyptian border guard.
On Friday Egypt declared renegade British lawmaker George Galloway persona non grata, accusing him of incitement after his harsh criticism of Cairo over delays in the aid convoy's entry into Gaza. Galloway left Egypt Friday morning from Cairo airport.

He would tell Allah, that his brothers and sisters let him down when they allowed their government to fool them by cooperating with their enemies on torturing the innocent palestinians, and killing their children out of hunger.

So he killed another Muslim a brother whom he had probably never met.

I'm not sure who killed the Egyptian soldier....But I'm sure that there are 35 Palestinians were injured by Egyptian bullets!!

No, this killing is not justified, the soldier is a victim just like the 35 Palestinians....And no one is responsible for that except the authorities which caused all the mess.

Glad to hear it! and what a mess it is, thats for sure.

 

[whereismynotecard]

I keep thinking the title says "...lunch attack..." I get momentarily excited, because that sounds like it would be an interesting topic. Then I read it for real, and it's not anything about lunch at all.

 

[Sahar]

The article is real rubbish and Zionist propaganda.

 

[Sahar]

You won't find people supporting the Palestinians in Gaza and Hamas like the Egyptian people and their scholars.

Well said, Sajdah. The Egyptian authority is blamed for all this and blamed for Gaza siege.

Do you know who is he? Maybe he is a mercenary working for the Zionists, God only knows.

Egypt's reputation has been destroyed by the Egyptian government, what a shame!

What Egyptian Imams said on the Egyptian steel wall:

Answering this question, Dr. `Abdur-Rahman Al-Barr, professor of Hadith and its sciences atAl-Azhar University, Cairo, stated,​

The issue of this wall can be analyzed as follows:​

First, we should remember the basic reason behind such action, which is the schism and division the Ummah suffers from, together with the absence of the spirit of brotherhood among Muslims. This has given rise to such hateful nationalism and bias in favor of national identity.​

Second, this wall adds more to the suffocating siege that our brothers and sisters in Palestine suffer from, and this is totally prohibited. We, Muslims, are enjoined to help one another and to support weak Muslims.​

Third, Egypt has always been the stronghold of the Muslim Ummah. It is supposed to be far above being involved in such actions, which will only aggravate the Palestinian suffering. Egypt is rather expected to be on the side of the Palestinians and to aid our brothers....

Dr. Muhammad Mukhtar Al-Mahdi, professor at Al-Azhar University and the head of Al-Jam`iyyah Al-Shar`iyyah in Egypt, also expressed his concern over this issue:​

First, before we talk about national security, we have to decide who is the enemy and who is the friend. If we can make the right decision in this regard, we can rationally talk about the steel wall. We call upon the whole Ummah, particularly the governments, to save the lives of those who really defend Egypt's national security on behalf of the Egyptians. Resisting the Zionist enemy is the stumbling block that hinders its plans and schemes of building a Zionist state from the Nile to the Euphrates. Hence, saving these people is equal to defending national security.​

We need to feel the sense of brotherhood among Muslims. Therefore, we condemn and reject all the nationalistic and chauvinistic calls being propagated by many media outlets these days: that Egypt is for the Egyptians, Syria for the Syrians, Saudi Arabia for the Saudis, etc. We, Muslims, are all one nation, and our enemies rely on religious grounds when they shape their policies and attitudes, so why should we fight them back with nationalistic and chauvinistic calls that only serve to deepen the crack and widen the gap in the Muslim Ummah?

Yes, responsible, sure. But would all this mess have happened if Egypt allowed the aid to enter Gaza smoothly?! Again the government is blamed for this.

I am confused isnt a Palestinian homeland nationalistic?

I dont understand the Egyptian border thing at all? don't they let through food ,medical supplies etc? i saw a programme showing lots of tunnels i don't see how the tunnels work without Egyptian support.

I believe what concerns Islam is there are Muslim people kicked out of their home and they are facing occupation, massacres and oppression and it's the duty of Muslims to help our brothers and sisters until they get their homes back and live there with dignity and honor. The Muslim loyalty is to the entire Islamic Ummah, not just to his country; whether it was Egypt, Algeria or turkey...etc.
