Yesterday in Mansoura, al-Azawi became the first person to enter a lion's cage armed with a spear, a sword, and a shield. He began by insulting the Israeli flag and stepping on it. Then his mother came and hugged him before he entered the cage with the lion. When he entered the cage, he started to make sounds provoking the lion. When the lion tried to attack him, al-Azawi roared like a lion, which stopped the lion's attack. Al-Azawi announced that he face the lion in the cage for God. In the end he refused to kill the lion with his spear, and left the cage to the cheers of his friends and audience.
