“Lately, a slew of video clips have been leaking that expose radically terrifying and offensive words coming from the mouths of Egypt\u2019s Islamic leaders,” writes Billy Hallowell of the internet news site The Blaze.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Recently, we had Ahmed Ezz El-Arab, who said that the Holocaust was a lie and that the U.S. is responsible for 9\/11. And who can forget Salafi Shaykh Muhammad Hassan\u2019s statement that Islam prefers immoral men\u2026or Shaykh Sa\u2018id \u2019Abd-al-\u2019Azim\u2019s belief that democracy is a ‘retarded’ idea?”<\/p>\n

“Now, to add to our list of ‘Egyptian Leaders Behaving Badly,'”\u00a0writes Hallowell,\u00a0“we have Egyptian Shaykh Safwat Hegazy who can be seen, below, threatening Jews, Christians and the entire human race. According to Translating Jihad (TJ), he says:<\/p>\n

\u201cJerusalem belongs to us, and the whole world belongs to us.\u201d He states the Islamic caliphate will return, and that \u201cevery land upon which Islam has set foot will return to us.\u201d He makes poignant references to Qurayza and Khaybar, which are clear threats against the Jews, and also states, \u201cwe will kill anyone who has polluted the al-Aqsa Mosque.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
