Sheikh Khatib: What is happening in Egypt is a conspiracy against Islam

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Sheikh Kamal Al-Khatib, deputy head of the Islamic movement in the 1948 occupied land, expressed his optimism that Egypt would restore its stability and get rid of the tyrannical military rule once again soon.Sheikh Khatib told Quds Press that the massacres which have been committed against civilians and supporters of the Islamic movement in Egypt were expected because the coup leaders know well that their retreat means the failure of their coup and thus they would have no choice but to flee Egypt or stand trial.Sheik Khatib added that the pro-Morsi protestors, in turn, know that their withdrawal from the streets means the return of the tyrannical military rule in Egypt, which lasted 60 years since the time of Jamal Abdul-Naser.He expressed his belief that what is happening in Egypt is not a political conflict as the media claim, but it is a religious and cultural conflict led by the western world and its tools in Egypt, represented by the army leaders, the secular parties and some media outlets."What is happening in Egypt does not target the Muslim Brotherhood movement, but it is a plot against the religion of Islam, led by Israel, the US, the west, and their lackeys in the Arab and Muslim worlds," he stated."They know it is a losing battle against the Islamic trend, which is the living project of the nation and its beating heart," he added.As for the positions of Fatah and its authority in support of the military coup in Egypt, Sheikh Khatib said that such positions were not surprising because they share the same interests with the coup leaders and suppress their own people in the West Bank."Fatah and the PA leadership in Ramallah want to cover the nakednes of their political scandal after they knelt down before Netanyahu and the American administration and undermined the Palestinian national project," he underlined./149
