Egyptian Cleric Safwat Higazi Explains His Fatwa Sanctioning the Killing of Israelis Visiting Egypt
Mona Shazli, Presenter: Sheik Safwat Higazi is one of the most well known people to appear on TV, talking about religious matters and fatwas. He is one of the most well known preachers, and he has a show on Al-Nas TV.he said
| Following are excerpts from an interview with Egyptian cleric Safwat Higazi, which aired on Dream2 TV on August 26, 2006: Mona He said, among other things, that if he saw an Israeli on the street, in Egypt, he would kill him. This may give the impression of being a fatwa to kill any Israeli Jew walking down the street. [...] Safwat Higazi: I did not call upon people to kill Israelis in the streets. I never said such a thing. [...] When I said what I said, I was dreaming a beautiful dream, which I hope will come true, and that we all agree upon it. I dreamt that we are the Arab Islamic States, not just Egypt, Lebanon, and Palestine. I was truly dreaming that we are the Arab Islamic States. Get a map of the Arab homeland, and erase the borders... Or maybe these can be borders between counties or states, like the USA, in which 49 states were united into one country. I had a dream that we were one country, called the Arab Islamic States. The capital of this country is Egypt, and the president of Egypt and its government head this country. This is the dream I dreamt. [...] I said that these Israelis... I specified the Israeli Jew, not just any Jew. I said, word for word, that these are American Jews, Dutch Jews, and Jews from all other nationalities - and to them this does not apply. He must be a Jew and an Israeli, and not just any Israeli, because there are Israeli Arabs, there are Muslim Israelis from the 1948 Arabs, there are Christian Israelis... He must be an Israeli Jew, and, in parentheses - a Zionist. This was the first condition to my fatwa. The second condition is that he must be a combatant - in other words, a reserves soldier in the Israeli Defense Forces. [...] The third condition was that this action must cause no damage. I even said that it was entirely forbidden for someone to wear an explosives belt and blow himself up, and destroy a car in the street, just in order to kill an Israeli. [...] The fourth condition I mentioned was that no innocent person be killed. If we apply these four conditions of the fatwa in order to kill an Israeli, one must make sure that he is a Jew, an Israeli, and that he is between 21 and 54, the age of the reserves, and if she is a woman, she must be between 21 and 34, which is the age of the reserves [for women], and even then, he must make sure that she has no children, because a woman of this age with children is no longer a soldier in the IDF.
[...] Salah Issa, Al-Qahira editor-in-chief: He said: "I was imagining that this has become the Arab Islamic States, and that is why I said this." No. Excuse me, but you live here, in Egypt. Egypt has a peace agreement with Israel. Whether or not we accept it, this agreement exists. According to this agreement, any Israeli who comes here enjoys our protection, as Muslims. | |

Shaykh Muhammed Sayyid al-Tantawi, imam of al-Azhar mosque in Cairo, Egypt:
“Attacking innocent people is not courageous, it is stupid and will be punished on the day of judgement. ... It’s not courageous to attack innocent children, women and civilians. It is courageous to protect freedom, it is courageous to defend oneself and not to attack.”
Agence France Presse, September 14, 2001
Abdel-Mo'tei Bayyoumi, al-Azhar Islamic Research Academy, Cairo, Egypt:
“There is no terrorism or a threat to civilians in jihad [religious struggle].”

And this world - in which Israelis can be killed just for walking down the street - is Dream-land. He's amazing.

THE QUESTION OF PALESTINE
We Jews have no claim to political power anywhere in the world and least of all in Palestine, from which we were exiled by Divine decree. Thus, the land belongs to those who have dwelt there for centuries, the Palestinians. PLEASE SEE THIS TRUE JEWISH SITE! ==>http://www.nkusa.org/aboutus/palestine/index.cfm

Catholic Church no longer swears by truth of the Bible. (a big knock out!!):
To further prove my points above about how truly insignificant the bible's "divinity" to its theologians, and how they absolutely don't regard it as a Perfect Divine Book from GOD Almighty, the following article will further prove this once and for all!

I just wanted to praise Allah that muslims are finally rising up against the evil West. We wil not rest until everybody either converts to Islam or dies. Allah has commanded us to kill you if you do not convert. SO I invite my fellow americans to convert or be killed. I have no problem personally slitting your throats and cutting off your heads if you do not submit to the one true peaceful religion.

all Jews will become rats and pigs as they were transformed in the past and are still being transformed. I know Allah will do this for Palestine and that will be the end of the Jewish problem. The palestinians will move back to their homeland and the only thing then will be the huge rat and pig infestation in the area! A few good exterminator companies will take care of that. Praise Allah!

Why not just stop killing people who are not muslims and just leave Israel alone. let everybody sit under their own fig tree?

Sorry but you muslims on here sound deranged. how come dissenting opinions arent allowed on your websites but on this site you are allowed to say whatever crazy thing or threat you want? Ive read all the posts on here and other articles and somebody said that, so I checked and found it was correct.

And as for this cleric higaazi, sounds like a truly awful person. What he is saying is far worse then what any pope (and Im not catholic) said. He is saying go to Israel and kill certain jews and these psycho American Muslim is saying kill all unbelievers.

This is too rich i think the world is in the twilight zone or something
