How we celebrate our Feast.... Attack the Head of Al Azhar

Al Azhar in Egypt and for all the Arab world is the Minaret of Light.  It is the moderate school of Islam and has always been the place to go to if the need arise to explain the real Islam or be in need of a Fatwa.  It is not a fundamentalist or extremist and it has been the place for moderate Muslims.  It is the place were light , tolerance and understanding come from.  Most Muslim countries send their children to learn in Azhar.

A few days ago, a Muslim Brother representative present a petition in the People's Assembly of Egypt demanding to know .... Listen well.... "HOW CAN THE SHEIKH AL AZHAR - THE HEAD OF AZHAR- SHAKE HANDS WITH SIMON PEREZ THE ISRAELI PRESIDENT IN NEW YORK DURING A CONFERENCE ON TOLERANCE".

Please, save us from your mottoes and live in reality.  In 1978, we signed a peace agreement with Israel, which means that we consider them our neighbors, we admit to their rights as a neighboring country with whom we can trade, have mutual interests one of them is peace in the region.

Let us not get into the Palestinian saga, and think for once about our interests as Egyptians and what we should do to protect and save our territories.

So now shaking hands with the Israeli President is a taboo and we attack the Head of Moderate Islam for being a tolerant and instead of teaching our sons and daughters about tolerance and the acceptance of the other, we make mottoes and attack the main person representing Islam in Egypt.

Are the Muslim brothers real Egyptians or do they have a hidden agendas that we will learn once they try and take rein of our country like what Hamas did with the democratic elections in the Gaza strip.

We love Egypt, then its interest is at heart with no hidden agendas or trying to tarnish the image of a Great man like the Azhar leader Sheikh Mohamed Sayed Tantawi.
