I am sure, the people who are pro Mursi because they want Egypt to becoming Islamic state. They don't care if Mursi will become dictator or not. Well this is which will happened when Moslem is in majority.

The world would be a better place if all Muslims were Sufis.

i never said that they are bad people but i said that some of their teachings are not a part of islam & sometimes even "shirk " . if you know what that means

[ABDULLAH MALIK]

My Brother please listen to my advice humbly. I might be the worst muslim on earth & maybe i don't even deserve to advice you but something i learnt from islam is that we control our language & show islam in a beautiful way that it is. Please listen to my advice brother cause when i saw how you comment on pages regarding raping etc i thought maybe its someone who is misleading people. And God Knows Best. May God Guide you & me & the rest of humanity ameen

In Egypt people are more barbaric teachers beat the children to death. and the secular schools are the worst. Saudi Arabia is a countary where you can go to work while the doors of your house are open so can you do that in Egypt? of course not in Egypt even police is a thief. Almight Allah gave us the book where is words are written and if we don't use it we are sinners. The book was given to us to use it and to enforce the law. and stop the fitna of shirk. Alfitna ashadu min qatal.

[ABDULLAH MALIK]

shia is something which im not but i have seen your channel & just want to ask that are you a muslim?

[naniyoussef]

This is laughable... 'the Saudi people live better than the Egyptian people'.

The Saudi people have no freedom of speech, no women rights, an oil based economy that will collapse once the oil runs out...That's not the issue here...

You still insist on calling others infidels. I will say this one last time: IT IS NOT UP TO YOU TO LABEL PEOPLE AS BELIEVERS OR NON-BELIEVERS. THIS IS DONE BY THE ALL MIGHT GOD.
