Cairenes speak out on the Israeli violation of Al-Aqsa Mosque
“It’s the end of the world. But as long as we remain silent nothing will ever change. The Quran said that we must prepare for our enemies, but nobody’s doing anything. Sadat, God have mercy on his soul, was the only one who achieved victory over the Jews and got us our land back but the Arabs boycotted him for it. The Arabs never united on a single stance. That’s why the situation is deteriorating. As long as the enemy sees that we’re weak, they’ll keep hitting us on the head. But it’s our fault that we gave them this power over us…

“Our hands are tied. As long as they don’t get a reaction from us, they’ll just get worse. They once asked Pharoah why he was such a tyrant. He said because no one stopped me. Our governments are in a daze, concerned only with their own interests. What could possibly be worse than insulting the Prophet Mohamed (PBUH) they did it and nobody uttered a word.

“It is frustrating to hear the bad news there. Everyday Israelis show their disrespect and ignore the religious nature of the area. But Al Aqsa is Islam’s third holiest site, so I do not think they can do any real damage to it. It is shielded by divine protection. The Israelis are simply stupid.
Hany Abdelkawi, a software engineer
“God won’t leave those Israelis killing our fellow Arabs. Palestinians will take their revenge one day.
Ahmed Shaaban, a Cairo taxi driver
“I think we have to do something. Israelis are firing stun grenades on people who are praying! That is very humiliating, but expected from tyrants like the Israelis.
