Egypt Islamist campaigns to substitute US aid
Egypt's prime minister and the head of the influential seat of Islamic learning, al-Azhar, on Thursday praised a campaign by an Islamist scholar to raise donations as a substitute for US aid that is threatened by a stand-off over civil society groups.
 
The campaign spearheaded by prominent Salafi scholar Mohamed Hassaan calls on Egyptians to pay $1.66 each in response to US threats to cut aid to Egypt over investigations that have resulted in charges against 19 Americans.
Because, being on the edge of starvation as so many Egyptians are, what is a day's food for their children compared to letting the Muslim Brotherhood go to war against Israel?
