CAIRO: Friday Prayer sermons tackled Revolution demands in Tahrir Square where 30,000 demonstrators participated in the Second Friday of Anger. Prayer leader, Mazhar Shaheen said Egyptians cannot forget the martyrs and never give up revolutionary demands in the sermon at Omar Makram Mosque. Shaheen condemned the disorder that took place during the National Dialogue sessions when former members of the National Democratic Party (NDP) tried to attend but were kicked out of the session. He denied any division among Egyptians about the demands of revolution. He pointed out the General Prosecutor is slow in giving a decision concerning the killers of the January 25 Revoluion martyrs although he made a decision to the teacher who tortured his students in the criminal court within 2 days. By achieving the revolution demands and getting rid of corrupt members of the former regime, the protests in Tahrir Square will cease, according to Shaheen. Regarding Egyptian media, Shaheen says it still suffers from corruption. He also criticized gathering all corrupt figures in one prison where they can easily communicate and plan against the revolution. Shaheen called on the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) to hold a referendum before taking any fateful decision. He asks demonstrators to preserve and secure Egypt. In another sermon in Tahrir lead by member of the Al-Gama'a Al-Islamiyya, Ahmed Sobh focused on national unity and that religion is personal freedom. He called on the Salafis to understand the meaning of political practice. The Imam of Istiqama Mosque said during his sermon in Giza that Muslims accept secular government if it is democratically elected. The Imam criticized excluding the Muslims from the political scene. In addition, he called for canceling the Family Law created by Suzanne Mubarak.
