Mohamed ElBaradei is against Islamic law? He should be glad that Niraj Warikoo, Bob Smietana, Kari Huus, or one of our other pro-Islamic supremacist mainstream media reporters aren’t in Egypt, or he’d be excoriated as a “racist” and an “Islamophobe.”
“40 Islamists file lawsuit accusing ElBaradei of ‘insulting sharia,'” from Ahram Online, November 11 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A complaint was filed with the prosecutor general on Sunday by forty Egyptian lawyers, accusing renowned reform campaigner Mohamed ElBaradei of offending Islamists, of being against Islamic sharia law and of having insulted prominent Islamist preachers.
According to Ahram Arabic news website, the complaint was based on statements made by the founder of the Constitution Party against last Friday’s protest, which called for the implementation of Islamic sharia law in Egypt.
Last Friday, thousands of Salafist supporters gathered at Tahrir Square to demand a constitution based on Islamic law.
The complaint claims that ElBaradei, during a press conference held on Friday in Aswan, Upper Egypt, described some religious preachers as “clowns” and “merchants of religion”.
A similar charge was made by spokesperson of Salafist Nour party Yosry Hamad on Saturday via his official Facebook page.
Hammad also claimed that ElBaradei described some religious preachers as “clowns” and “merchants of religion” during the Aswan press conference….
Clowns? What? Reza Aslan is in Egypt now?
