To the miserable Egyptian officer who obeyed the Sykes-Picot Agreement and did not obey God: It hurts us to see that you did not obey God when you pointed your weapon at your Palestinian brother who was taking refuge in you from what your common enemy was doing to him. He was hoping to find you like the others who care about the honor of the Arab cause and of Islam. Yet you killed him, obeying unjust and immoral orders. You have thereby sold your blood cheap.
The Prophet said: “No obedience in sin.” Thus you have lost your misguided life, because you were neither defending the Arab cause nor Islam. A Muslim should not deceive his brother in Islam. You killed your brother. He will go to heaven as a martyr. Then you got killed while defending the borders that were marked by Sykes and Picot, the infidels who have divided our land. You did like the politicians who have disobeyed God and His Messenger and allied with the enemy. You went in disgrace. Abu Hurairah said a man went to the Messenger of Allah and told him: “They took my money.” “Resort to God,” said the Messenger to the man three times. “And if they do not comply?” asked the man. “Then fight them. If they kill you, you will go to heaven, and if you kill them, you will go to hell,” said the Messenger. (The above came in a statement by the Al-Azhar Scholars Front on the first of Muharram, 1430 AH/December 29, 2008). Al-Azhar Grand Sheikh Tantawi denying the Scholars Front does not mean it does not exist. Also that Dr. El-Agami El-Damanhouri, the former head of the Front before it was dissolved by court order, is not aware of the electronic statements of the Front does not mean they do not exist. The statements of the Front are posted regularly on its www.jabhaonline.org website from Kuwait, where Dr. Yehia Habloush, the former Assistant Secretary-General of the dissolved Front, is living. He is wanted in Cairo to do a one-year prison sentence for profaning the Grand Imam. The website shows the Front's registration number 565/1967, its PO Box number 62 and its old address on Port Said Street, although the premises went back to the landlord after the Front was dissolved. Habloush also lists on the website the names of Dr. Abdel Moneim el-Barri, Dr. Abdel Sattar Fathallah, Dr. Ibrahim el-Kholi and Dr. Ahmed Ryan as acting members of the Front, although Dr. Barri denies any knowledge of Habloush's statements altogether. Appealing to all Azhar scholars and students, Habloush wrote: “This is your website. We need your support, as we only work for the sake of God.” Habloush's fatwa is unfair, as Ibn Abbas said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah saying that two eyes will never go to hell. The eye that has cried in fear from God, and the eye that kept awake to guard for the sake of God.” Habloush grants and denies martyrdom to whoever he wants. He grants it to the Hamas killer who took off the bullet-proof jacket of the Egyptian officer, made him kneel and shot him before his colleagues that he also fired at and wounded. So to the miserable Egyptian Sheikh who obeyed the Sykes-Picot Agreement and did not obey God, I say: "Fear God!”
