Muslim Brotherhood rally vows to ‘kill all Jews’
By OREN KESSLER Jerusalem Post
Organizers at Cairo’s iconic al-Azhar Mosque warn against “Judaization of Jerusalem.”
A Muslim Brotherhood rally in Cairo on Friday at the Sunni world’s most prestigious center of learning turned into a call for genocide, with protesters pledging to “one day kill all Jews.”
Eldad Beck, Ynet’s Arab affairs correspondent, reported from Cairo that some 5,000 people attended the rally at al-Azhar Mosque, convened to coincide with the anniversary of the approval of the 1947 UN Partition Plan for Palestine.
The event, organizers said, was aimed at rallying Egyptians behind the “battle against Jerusalem’s Judaization.”
Speakers at the demonstration condemned “Zionist occupiers” and “treacherous Jews,” and organizers distributed maps of the Old City highlighting areas where “Zionists are aiming to change Jerusalem’s Muslim character.”
Muhammad Ahmed el- Tayeb, the imam of al-Azhar Mosque, told the crowd: “Al- Aksa Mosque is currently under an offensive by the Jews… We shall not allow the Zionists to Judaize al-Quds [Jerusalem]. We are telling Israel and Europe that we shall not allow even one stone to be moved there.”
Protesters chanted, “Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv: Judgment Day has come,” and passages from the Koran vowing that “one day we shall kill all the Jews.”
Al-Azhar Mosque is part of al-Azhar University, a millennium- old compound in central Cairo that is the world’s leading center of Arabic literature and Sunni jurisprudence.
Beck quoted an elementary school teacher outside the mosque telling him, “All Egyptian Muslims are willing to embark on jihad for the sake of Palestine.”
“Why is the US losing in Afghanistan?” he asked. “Because the other side is willing and wants to die. We have a different mentality than that of the Americans and Jews.”
Meanwhile, the Brotherhood’s spiritual leader, Yusuf al-Qaradawi, …. arrived at Cairo Airport on Wednesday. Qaradawi, exiled from Egypt in 1961, hosts the(immensely popular) weekly program Shari’a and Life on Al Jazeera. (The program) is vilified by critics for his often venomous attacks on Americans, Shi’ites and Jews. Qaradawi has been described as the spiritual leader of Hamas, and has justified suicide bombings against Israeli civilians and against US soldiers serving in Iraq.

No network? Really. Do you have any idea how many mtiailis are out there fighting against the New World Order? These people are out there, and their evidenced by the incidents at Ruby Ridge and Waco. If there’s no network then why does the national guard go on high alert every April 19? Go stick your head back in the sand. It is absolutely ignorant (not mention arrogant) to suggest that they only people out there with weapons trained on the United States are fundamentalist Muslim terrorists. So yeah funny thing about McVeigh. Oh he was in the military also, which is where many of the militia against the New World Order get their training. Convenient that they don’t have to travel to Pakistan to get their education in how to terrorize us.I used to think Craine’s was just conservative, now I see it also is a haven for racists and xenophobes.
