NO! to Violence YES! to Sharia is the Cry of Salafists

No to violence, yes to sharia

Friday afternoon demonstrated thousands of Islamists in support of President Mohamed Mursi and violence in the political struggle in the country.

There are Salafists, deeply conservative Islamists, who called their network and their supporters to show their strength. This extremist group ran armed strikes against the regime of Hosni Mubarak in the 1990s.

The Islamic Structure and Development Party organized the protest under the slogan together against violence.

The group accuses the liberal and left-wing opposition in the country of being behind the violence.

Showed their displeasure with Morsi

In recent weeks, the liberal and secular groups that thousands have been out in the streets to show their protest and dissatisfaction with President Mohammed Morsi.

Under the slogan "Together against violence" took a hundred men to march against the University of Cairo, where the main demonstration was held.

The Salafists think it is the secular and liberal groups and parties are to blame for the unrest that rides Egypt.

- It is the opposition's mistakes. They are behind the violence, said Mohamed Ahmed told AFP.

The party of the Muslim Brotherhood, Freedom and Justice Party, said it supported the Friday demonstration, but did not mobilize  their followers to participate.

The number was therefore less than in previous Islamist protests.
Want Sharia ruled country

Protesters held up banners which they had written "No to violence, yes to the Sharia."

- Islam is the way and the Koran is our constitution, came from the protestors.

The party is for a representative democracy, but require that both laws and institutions are in agreement with the principles of Islamic laws.


 Morsi, Morsi, they cry!

The Muslim Brotherhood has stated that they support the Salafists demonstration today, but has not urged his followers to go out into the streets. The president of the Fellowship tries probably to avoid collision, given that past Fridays have ended in riot and clashes between protesters and police.



Supporters of Islamist Construction and Development Party brought a picture of the blind sheik Islamist Omar Abdel Rahman.

The Egyptian remain in prison in the U.S. for his involvement in the attempt to blow up the World Trade Center in 1993, eight years before the planes hijacked by Al Qaeda terrorists crashed into the famous towers.

They demanded that the sheikh released.

Around 60 people have been killed in political clashes in Egypt since late January.
