Egyptian army coup is a US plot: Munawar Hasan

Lahore : Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan, Syed Munawar Hasan, has said that the army ambush on democratic system in Egypt had once again pushed the Muslim country into a dark allay as the US and Israel wanted a puppet government there.

In a statement issued from Mansoora on Thursday, he said the blood of innocent Muslims was being shed in Egypt since the martyrdom of Al Ikhwan’s founder Hasan al Banna. The powers which were supporting the dictatorship and oppression in Egypt during the last 64 ears could not digest the civil liberties and democratic system which had been restored by elected President Dr Mursi during one year.

He said, the US and other colonial powers never wanted true democracy in any  Muslim country. He said that Israel would be the biggest beneficiary of the military coup

In Egypt because Washington and Tel Aviv could not tolerate a government in Egypt that believed in the freedom struggle of the Qibla Awwal.

Syed Munawar Hasan  said that Egyptian army’s adventurism was a devilish plan to steal away the fruits of the peoples revolution a year back. However, he said, the Egyptian masses were still up against the military revolt. He said the military dictators should know that the masses could not be kept as salves in the present era.

He said the military dictatorship had made Egypt a Israel slave by depriving it of its leadership role in the Islamic world. President Murshi had started efforts to revive Egypt’s historic status but the US slaves in the army had toppled the government to punish him for that crime.

The JI Ameer was however sure that the Egyptian people would not give up their struggle for their basic rights, adding that the Al- Ikhwan and the Egyptian people could not be crushed by an oppression that had been going on for about a half a century. The current army coup and the Hosni Mobarak’s left legacy could not defeat the will power of the Egyptian people.

The JI Ameer appealed the Ulema and religious scholars to educate the faithful about the Egyptian situation in their Friday addresses tomorrow.
