Clerics Preach Incitement and War
by IPT News • Aug 28, 2012 at 2:20 pm
Two prominent Muslim clerics issued statements urging violence against Israel and the United States, in communication reported by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).
Egyptian cleric Safwat Higazi told a television interviewer that the Muslim Brotherhood still harbors ambitions to become “masters of the world.” Muslims want peace, he said, but “welcome war” if that doesn’t get “what is rightfully ours.”
The interview focused primarily on Israel, with Higazi defending a fatwa, or religious edict, calling for the murder of any Israeli a person may encounter. “If that Zionist is fighting me, occupying my country, and killing people who are my brothers in country, religion, and humanity – then it’s an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and whoever started it is to blame,” he said.
In May, Higazi introduced Brotherhood official Mohamed Morsi’s presidential campaign in Egypt, saying Morsi would restore “the United States of the Arabs” with “the capital of the Caliphate” in Jerusalem.
Higazi said he opposes the Camp David peace agreement between Israel and Egypt, but then argued it never would have happened if not for the 1973 Yom Kippur war in which Egypt and Syria waged a surprise attack against Israel that eventually was beaten back.

SNIPPET: “On Saturday, Obama named the Texas-born, 31-year-old Indian-American as his envoy to the OIC, the 57-member bloc of Islamic states. The appointment is in line with the president’s goal, expressed in his speech in Cairo last June, to reach out to the Islamic world.
Obama made the announcement in a video address at a U.S.-Islamic World Forum meeting in Qatar, which Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Hussain attended over the weekend.
“Rashad has played a key role in developing the partnerships I called for in Cairo,” Obama told the gathering in the video message. “And as a hafiz of the Koran, he is a respected member of the American Muslim community, and I thank him for carrying forward this important work.” (A hafiz is someone who has memorized the Islamic text.)”

TARIQ RAMADAN, ‘MUSLIMS WANT RESPECT AND HUMIILITY’ (Obama read Ramadan’s script)
ANSAmed ^ | June 3 2009 | ANSA staff
Posted on June 4, 2009 9:55:36 PM PDT by bronxville
MIDEAST: TARIQ RAMADAN, ‘MUSLIMS WANT RESPECT AND HUMIILITY’
(ANSAmed) - ROME, JUNE 3 - According to the controversial Swiss intellectual and Islam scholar, Tariq Ramadan, a “change in attitude” and “effective and necessary action”, a “real and profound message of respect” but above all “humility” are what the Muslim world expects in the keynote speech that USA President Barack Obama will be making tomorrow in Cairo.
In a statement sent to the press via email, Ramadan underlines how Obama has found himself having to “reverse the legacy” left by George W. Bush and his administration, who did not show “respect or fairness towards Muslims”. Ramadan points out that, during his election campaign, Obama “often had to repeat that he was not a Muslim, as if that would have posed a problem for the American people”.
Thus, “the first thing that can be expected” is that, by talking to the Muslim world, he will also be talking to the “US and the West”. Ramadan confirmed that during the first few months of his presidency Obama “has shown respect for Islam, announced the closure of Guantanamo and an end to torture, and adopted a firm stance against the Israeli government with regard to the building of settlements”.
These are “positive steps”, but speeches “are not enough”. The USA “does not have a monopoly on good and evil”. Islam “is a great civilisation” and Obama “must announce that we all have something to learn from each other.” In stressing “ideal values” and calling for “human rights”,
Obama must also “admit American mistakes, failures and contradictions” in pursuing these aims, and he must show “humility” in acknowledging that the USA “can and will do more in order to respect the values that they are calling for.”
It is only in this way that he can say to Muslims that “they must fight against corruption, fundamentalism, dictatorships, discrimination against women and poor people”, and in order to be “listened to with a minimum of trust”.
Ramadan concluded that Obama must make it understood that “after many years of deafness in Washington, he has finally listened”. (ANSAmed).
