| 2013-12-06 |
[Al Ahram] Speaking to the London-based Al-Quds Al-Arabi (Arab Jerusalem), Moussa Al-Abdilat, a Jordanian lawyer for Islamist groups, passed on a statement by leading jihadist authority Assem Al-Barkawi, aka Abu Mohammed Al-Maqdisi, calling for "the unification of efforts in the region and the world between jihadist Salafist movements, the Moslem Brüderbund and the Islamic Liberation Party in order to confront the project that targets Islam and Moslems in this difficult phase". Al-Maqdisi, who has been tossed in the calabooseDrop the rod and step away witcher hands up! since 1994, also called on Salafis to support "the legitimate president in Egypt Mohammed Morsi ...the former president of Egypt. A proponent of the One Man, One Vote, One Timeprinciple, Morsi won election after the deposal of Hosni Mubarak and jumped to the conclusion it was his turn to be dictator... in the battle against the military coup". It is a message with clear ramifications for turbulent conditions in Sinai, the actions of Al-Qaeda-affiliated organizations there and the connections between such myrmidon jihadists and the Moslem Brüderbund. |
