CAIRO (Reuters) - Egypt has no intention of a waging a holy
war against Syria, but still supports the Syrian peoples' hopes for
freedom, newly installed foreign minister Nabil Fahmy said on Saturday.The Muslim Brotherhood movement of ousted Egyptian President Mohamed
Mursi last month joined a call by some Sunni clerics for a jihad
against the Syrian government and its Shi'ite allies.Signaling a different approach, Fahmy told reporters: "There are no intentions for jihad in Syria."However, he made clear that Egypt still supported change in Syria,
where rebels are battling to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad in a
civil war that has killed more than 90,000."We support the Syrian people and their aspirations for freedom,"
Fahmy, a former Egyptian ambassador to the United States, told a news
conference.Mursi, deposed on July 3 and detained by the army, said last month
that he had cut all diplomatic ties with Damascus and backed a no-fly
zone over Syria, pitching the most populous Arab state more firmly
against Assad.Fahmy said there was no change to this decision, but that it was under review.(Reporting by Yasmine Saleh; Writing by Crispian Balmer; Editing by Louise Ireland)
CAIRO (AP) — After three weeks, some local residents have
started to have enough with Islamist supporters of Egypt's ousted
President Mohammed Morsi camped out outside a Cairo mosque in their
neighborhood to demand he be restored to office.Residents are
complaining that the sit-in camp is blocking the roads leading to their
homes, garbage has piled up on side streets and parks have been trashed.Speeches from the stage blare late into the night in the neighborhood
around Rabaah al-Adawiya Mosque.At the same time, the complaints
have been sucked into Egypt's bitter polarization over the military's
removal of Morsi on July 3. Anti-Islamist media have taken up the
residents' backlash as evidence the country has turned against the
protesters, who vow to continue their street campaign.Morsi's
Muslim Brotherhood, in turn, has sought to show it has the backing of
its neighbors, announcing that residents have been bringing the camping
protesters sweets and food. The protest camp also issued a statement
this past week offering nearby residents "24-hour medical, electricity,
plumbing or other services."Morsi supporters have been gathering
in the broad intersection in front the mosque since just before the
giant protests by millions nationwide against the president that led to
his ouster began on June 30.Now
they have settled in for a seemingly permanent presence on the edge of
the eastern Cairo district of Nasr City. At least a thousand people camp
there in tents overnight and crowds swell at times to tens of thousands
for evening rallies. Throughout the day, speakers ranging from
ultraconservative clerics to Brotherhood figures to people from the
crowd deliver speeches from the stage to rally the audience."We
thought they were just having a protest for the day ... we assumed
they'll leave after the revolution (Morsi's fall) but they didn't and
life started becoming a tragedy," Sarah Ashraf, a 25-year-old resident,
told The Associated Press.Constant noise from fireworks and the
speeches is one big issue for the residents. Another is the tone of some
of the speeches, with hard-liners denouncing their opponents."On
their stage, Christians are constantly being threatened and insulted;
this is scaring us," said Ashraf, who is Christian. She said she has to
wear long-sleeve shirts and more conservative clothing because otherwise
she feels uncomfortable passing by the crowd, largely made up of
ultraconservative Islamists, with men in long beards and many women
veiled.Sandbag walls have gone up at some parts. Fearing attack
by opponents, the protesters have a "self-defense" contingent of young
men with sticks and makeshift armor. Those entering or passing through
the sit-in section must show IDs at protester checkpoints, and the tents
are spread across sidewalks in front of building entrances. In nearby
gardens and garages, protesters have put up structures of blocks and
bricks as toilets."They
took off the paving stones from the sidewalks and used them to build a
wall where they stand behind with their primitive weapons," resident
Mohammed Wasfy said."They have sticks in their hands all the day
as a show of force; the youngest of them is holding a stick as long as
he is," he added.Several dozen residents held a counter-protest
near the pro-Morsi encampment late Thursday, chanting "the Brotherhood
is a shame on us." They held signs reading: "You are free unless you
harm me."There were no frictions between the two groups. But the
protesting residents issued a statement with a list of demands and gave
Morsi supporters until Saturday night to carry them out. Among the
demands, move the stage, clear side streets, stop using fireworks, turn
speakers off, clean the area regularly and make sure no one has weapons
in their crowds.Some residents have moved out to live elsewhere temporarily. Others stick to their homes."We've
been trapped here for three weeks; my parents don't allow me out except
to the supermarket under my house," Ebtihal Hazem, a 21-year-old
business student, said over the telephone from her nearby home.Nora
Mohammed, a 30-year-old woman among the pro-Morsi protesters, insisted
they were being good guests. "This street was full of garbage and the
Brotherhood protesters came and cleared it," she said. "They have no
right to complain. It's the military trucks that are making the problem
and blocking some of the main roads."The military is blocking at least two of the main roads leading into and out of the sit-in area.Residents
also complain that other nearby mosques are being used by protesters
for shelter, sleeping and showering. "A nearby state school was also
used for shelter and cooking purposes. ... It's a usual scene to see
them in pajamas with towels on their shoulders," said Karim Hazem, a
21-year-old resident.Looming over the situation is the fear of
violence — by either side. More than 50 Morsi supporters were killed by
troops last week amid clashes at another sit-in not far away. Other
sites have seen violence between protesters and police or local
residents."We don't feel safe anymore," Hazem said.
BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian government forces bombed a strategic
rebel town in the country's north for the third straight day Saturday,
pounding it with airstrikes that killed at least three people, activists
said.
President Bashar Assad's troops have in recent weeks seized the momentum in the civil war, now in its third year, and have been on offensive against rebels on several fronts, including in the northern Idlib province along the border with Turkey.In Idlib, government forces this week besieged the town of Saraqeb, hitting it with rockets, tanks and air raids, said the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.On Saturday, the group said military aircraft dropped at least 15 makeshift bombs, known as barrel bombs, on the town. The bombs are made of hundreds of pounds (kilograms) of explosives stuffed into barrels.Meanwhile, an airstrike by a fighter jet killed at least three people, including two children, said the Observatory, which relies on reports from a network of activists on the ground.The number of casualties was likely to rise because many of the people have been buried in the rubble of buildings that collapsed in the shelling, the Observatory added.Assad's troops are in firm control of the provincial capital, also called Idlib, while dozens of rebel brigades control the surrounding countryside. Clashes between the warring sides have been fierce as Assad's troops try to push opposition fighters further away from the city.With a population of 40,000 people, Saraqeb is Idlib's second largest urban center. It has been under opposition's control for more than a year and it is strategically important for both sides because of its location along the highway that links Syria's largest city, Aleppo, with the capital, Damascus, the seat of Assad's power.The town also connects Aleppo, the country's commercial hub that has been carved up between government- and rebel-held areas over the past year, with the coastal city of Latakia. The city is a stronghold of Syria's ruling Alawite sect, which the president's family also belongs to.Opposition fighters have been using the highway to ferry their own supplies and have been launching guerrilla attacks on army convoys traveling between military bases in Idlib province and Aleppo.The Observatory's director Rami Abdul Rahman said the army's latest offensive on Saraqeb could be a push to set the stage for an eventual offensive on Aleppo. But the rebels have kept their ground at least 15 kilometers (9 miles) from Saraqeb, forcing the regime to rely on its air power.Syria's state news agency said the army fought "terrorists" around Idlib province, destroying their hideouts and makeshift weapons factories in several villages and towns near the provincial capital, including in Saraqeb. Several "terrorists" belonging to the radical Islamic group Jabhat al-Nusra were killed in the fighting, the report said.
The Syrian government refers to those trying to topple Assad's regime as terrorists who are acting out a conspiracy orchestrated by the West and the Gulf Arab countries, who back the opposition in the conflict.
More than 93,000 people have been killed since the Syria crisis started in March 2011 as largely peaceful protests against Assad's rule. It escalated into a civil war after opposition supporters took up arms to fight a brutal government crackdown on dissent.
The official, government-run television channel of the
Palestinian Authority aired a program that showed two little girls
reciting a poem calling Jews "barbaric monkeys," "wretched pigs" and the
"most evil among creations."According to Palestinian Media Watch (PMW), an Israeli research
organization that monitors anti-Israel and anti-Semitic messaging in the
official Palestinian media, the show was aired last Wednesday.
An excerpt of the video posted by PMW shows a field reporter prompting the girls to recite their poem. According to a transcript provided by PMW, the first little girl recited in part [emphasis added]:

NAJAF, Iraq (AP) — Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
traveled to southern Iraq on Friday to visit two of the most sacred
cities for Shiite Muslims amid tight security on the second day of his
two-day visit to the country.The outgoing Iranian president's
visits to the cities of Najaf and Karbala during the Islamic holy month
of Ramadan followed meetings with top Iraqi officials in Baghdad on
Thursday that highlighted the tightening bonds between Shiite-led Iraq
and Iran.Ahmadinejad is stepping down after eight years as Iran's
president. He will be succeeded by president-elect Hasan Rouhani, who
is expected to be sworn in in early August.In Najaf and Karbala,
Ahmadinejad on Friday followed in the footsteps of millions of Shiite
pilgrims who have made the journey to the holy cities south of Baghdad.Meanwhile,
a bomb exploded Friday at a Sunni mosque north of the Iraqi capital,
Baghdad, killing at least 17 people, said councilman Sadiq al-Huusseini.Iraq
has been rocked by a surge of violence that has killed more than 2,800
since the start of April, raising fears the country is returning to the
widespread sectarian bloodshed that pushed it to the brink of civil war
after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion.In Najaf, security forces were
deployed along the route used by Ahmadinejad's convoy from the airport
to the Imam Ali shrine, one of the holiest sites in Shiite Islam. Major
roads leading to the shrine itself were sealed off. Najaf is about 160
kilometers (100 miles) south of Baghdad.The Iranian president
waved to worshippers and smiled as he entered the gold-domed shrine. He
appeared to weep while praying inside the resplendent holy site, which
houses the tomb of Imam Ali, the cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet
Muhammad.Ali was the fourth successor to Muhammed after his death
in 632, though Shiites believe he was cheated and should have been the
rightful successor from the start.
Ahmadinejad's convoy then traveled to the city of Karbala. The city, 90 kilometers (55 miles) south of Baghdad, is home to the shrine of Imam Hussein, a central Shiite martyr who is Imam Ali's son and the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad. He and his brother Abbas, buried nearby, were killed in a battle in the city that is central to Islam's Sunni-Shiite split.This is Ahmadinejad's second visit to Iraq while in office. His previous trip in 2008 was the first by an Iranian president since Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution.He met Thursday with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and other officials. He used his brief public remarks in Baghdad to emphasize the success of his own country with that of one-time foe Iraq.The two countries fought a ruinous eight-year war that claimed hundreds of thousands of lives in the 1980s, but the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that toppled dictator Saddam Hussein ushered in a new era of warm relations between Tehran and Baghdad.Najaf and Karbala have boomed economically since the invasion, thanks to religious tourism driven in large part by the hundreds of thousands of Iranian pilgrims who visit annually.___ Associated Press writer Adam Schreck in Baghdad contributed reporting.

NAJAF, Iraq (Reuters) - The civil war in Syria is widening a rift
between top Shi'ite Muslim clergy in Iraq and Iran who have taken
opposing stands on whether or not to send followers into combat on
President Bashar al-Assad's side.Competition for leadership of the Shi'ite community has intensified
since the U.S.-led invasion of 2003 toppled Saddam Hussein, empowering
majority Shi'ites through the ballot box and restoring the Iraqi holy
city of Najaf to prominence.In Iran's holy city of Qom, senior Shi'ite clerics, or Marjiiya,
have issued fatwas (edicts) enjoining their followers to fight in Syria,
where mainly Sunni rebels are fighting to overthrow Assad, whose
Alawite sect derives from Shi'ite Islam.Shi'ite militant leaders fighting in Syria and those in charge of
recruitment in Iraq say the number of volunteers has increased
significantly since the fatwas were pronounced.Tehran, Assad's staunchest defender in the region, has drawn on other Shi'ite allies, including Lebanese militia Hezbollah.Hezbollah's open intervention earlier this year hardened the
sectarian tone of a conflict that grew out of a peaceful street uprising
against four decades of Assad family rule, and shifted the battlefield
tide in the Syrian government's favor.The Syrian war has polarized Sunnis and Shi'ites across the Middle
East - but has also spotlighted divisions within each of Islam's two
main denominations, putting Qom and Najaf at odds and complicating
intra-Shi'ite relations in Iraq.In Najaf, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, who commands unswerving
loyalty from most Iraqi Shi'ites and many more worldwide, has refused to
sanction fighting in a war he views as political rather than religious.Despite Sistani's stance, some of Iraq's most influential Shi'ite
political parties and militia, who swear allegiance to Iranian Supreme
Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, have answered his call to arms and sent
their disciples into battle in Syria.
"Those who went to fight in Syria are disobedient," said a senior Shi'ite cleric who runs the office of one of the top four Marjiya in Najaf.
"SHI'ITE CRESCENT"
The split is rooted in a fundamental difference of opinion over the nature and scope of clerical authority.
Najaf Marjiiya see the role of the cleric in public affairs as limited, whereas in Iran, the cleric is the Supreme Leader and holds ultimate spiritual and political authority in the "Velayet e-Faqih" system ("guardianship of the jurist")."The tension between the two Marjiiya already existed a long time ago, but now it has an impact on the Iraqi position towards the Syria crisis," a senior Shi'ite cleric with links to Marjiiya in Najaf said on condition of anonymity."If both Marjiiya had a unified position (toward Syria), we would witness a position of (Iraqi) government support for the Syrian regime".The Shi'ite-led government in Baghdad says it takes no sides in the civil war, but the flow of Iraqi militiamen across the border into Syria has compromised that official position.Khamenei and his faithful in Iraq and Iran regard Syria as a important link in a "Shi'ite Crescent" stretching from Tehran to Beirut through Baghdad and Damascus, according to senior clerics and politicians.Answering a question posted on his website by one of his followers regarding the legitimacy of fighting in Syria, senior Iraq Shi'ite cleric Kadhim al-Haeari, who is based in Iran, described fighting in Syria as a "duty" to defend Islam.Militants say that around 50 Iraqi Shi'ites fly to Damascus every week to fight, often alongside Assad's troops, or to protect the Sayyida Zeinab shrine on the outskirts of the capital, an especially sacred place for Shi'ites."I am following my Marjiiya. My spiritual leader has said fighting in Syria is a legitimate duty. I do not pay attention to what others say," said Ali, a former Mehdi army militant who was packing his bag to travel from Iraq to Syria."No one has the right to stop me. I am defending my religion, my Imam's daughter Sayyida Zeinab's shrine."A high-ranking Shi'ite cleric who runs the office of one of the four top Marjiiya in Najaf said the protection of Shi'ite shrines in Syria was used as a pretext by Iran to galvanize Shi'ites into action.
"SHI'ITE PROJECT"
In the 10 years since Saddam's fall, Iran's influence in Iraq has grown and it has sought to gain a foothold in Najaf in particular.Senior Iranian clerics have opened offices in Najaf, as well as non-governmental organizations, charities and cultural institutions, most of which are funded directly by Marjiiya in Iran, or the Iranian Embassy in Baghdad, local officials said.The Iranian flag flies over a two-storey building in an upscale neighborhood of Najaf, which houses the "Imam Khomeini Institution", named after the Islamic Republic's founder, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.The Imam Khomeini Institution is one of many Iranian entities that have engaged in social activities in Iraq, focusing on young men, helping them get married, and paying regular stipends to widows, orphans and students of religion.Some institutions also support young clerics and fund free trips for university students to visit Shi'ite shrines in Iran, including a formal visit to Khamenei's office in Tehran, Shi'ite politicians with knowledge of the activities say."We have a big project in Iraq aimed at spreading the principles of Velayet e-Faqih and the young are our target," a high-ranking Shi'ite leader who works under Khamenei's auspices said on condition of anonymity."We are not looking to establish an Islamic State in Iraq, but at least we want to create revolutionary entities that would be ready to fight to save the Shi'ite project".(Editing by Isabel Coles and Mark Heinrich)

But the rebels have kept their ground at least 15 kilometers (9 miles) from Saraqeb, forcing the regime to rely on its air power.Syria's state news agency said the army fought "terrorists" around Idlib province, destroying their hideouts and makeshift weapons factories in several villages and towns near the provincial capital, including in Saraqeb. Several "terrorists" belonging to the radical Islamic group Jabhat al-Nusra were killed in the fighting, the report said.
The Syrian government refers to those trying to topple Assad's regime as terrorists who are acting out a conspiracy orchestrated by the West and the Gulf Arab countries, who back the opposition in the conflict.
More than 93,000 people have been killed since the Syria crisis started in March 2011 as largely peaceful protests against Assad's rule. It escalated into a civil war after opposition supporters took up arms to fight a brutal government crackdown on dissent.

Oh, you who murdered Allah's pious prophets (i.e., Jews in Islamic tradition) Oh, you who were brought up on spilling blood You have been condemned to humiliation and hardship. Oh Sons of Zion, oh most evil among creations Oh barbaric monkeys, wretched pigsThe second little girl extolls the notion that Jerusalem belongs to the Muslims, not to Israel for which it is its capital city. She says to Jews and Israel:
Jerusalem is not your den Jerusalem opposes your throngs Jerusalem vomits from within it your impurity Because Jerusalem, you impure ones, is pious, immaculate And Jerusalem, you who are filth, is clean and pure.She also says that the Quran will protect her from Israelis and their rifles:
As long as my heart is my Quran and my city As long as I have my arm and my stones As long as I am free and do not barter my cause I will not fear your throngs I will not fear the rifle.The Arabic script on the top right corner of the screen has the logo for the station which says "Palestine" with Jerusalem's Dome of the Rock on top of the Arabic equivalent of the letter T. Underneath the logo is the word which denotes it was a live broadcast.PMW writes, "Palestinian Authority TV continues to promote Islam-based hate speech and anti-Semitism, voiced by little children."The media watchdog has previously posted examples of the demonization of Jews and Israelis in the Palestinian media, including references to Israel as "Satan with a tail."Israeli officials have voiced concern that this type of anti-Israel media coverage indicates a lack of sincerity among Palestinian Authority officials about reaching a future viable peace agreement with the Jewish State, which would include a recognition of Israel's right to secure borders.
Here is the translated excerpt of the girls reading their poem courtesy of PMW:
THE SHI'ITES ARE THE MAUDI WELLBOY BELIEVING CREW.THAT THINK IF THEY NUKE ISRAEL-THERE MESSIAH MAUHDI WILL MAGICALLY COME FROM THE WELL WERE HE HAS LIVED FOR A THOUSAND PLUS YEARS.GOOD LUCK.MURDER TO BRING ON THEIR MESSIAH MAUDI THE SHI'ITES BELIEVE.WHAT HOGWASH AND A WAY TO KILL IN THE NAME OF YOUR FALSE GOD AND MESSIAH OF ISLAM.
Iran's Ahmadinejad visits Shiite sites in Iraq
Ahmadinejad's convoy then traveled to the city of Karbala. The city, 90 kilometers (55 miles) south of Baghdad, is home to the shrine of Imam Hussein, a central Shiite martyr who is Imam Ali's son and the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad. He and his brother Abbas, buried nearby, were killed in a battle in the city that is central to Islam's Sunni-Shiite split.This is Ahmadinejad's second visit to Iraq while in office. His previous trip in 2008 was the first by an Iranian president since Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution.He met Thursday with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and other officials. He used his brief public remarks in Baghdad to emphasize the success of his own country with that of one-time foe Iraq.The two countries fought a ruinous eight-year war that claimed hundreds of thousands of lives in the 1980s, but the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that toppled dictator Saddam Hussein ushered in a new era of warm relations between Tehran and Baghdad.Najaf and Karbala have boomed economically since the invasion, thanks to religious tourism driven in large part by the hundreds of thousands of Iranian pilgrims who visit annually.___ Associated Press writer Adam Schreck in Baghdad contributed reporting.
Syria war widens rift between Shi'ite clergy in Iraq, Iran
By Suadad al-Salhy | Reuters – 1 hour 25 minutes ago-JULY 20,13"Those who went to fight in Syria are disobedient," said a senior Shi'ite cleric who runs the office of one of the top four Marjiya in Najaf.
"SHI'ITE CRESCENT"
The split is rooted in a fundamental difference of opinion over the nature and scope of clerical authority.
Najaf Marjiiya see the role of the cleric in public affairs as limited, whereas in Iran, the cleric is the Supreme Leader and holds ultimate spiritual and political authority in the "Velayet e-Faqih" system ("guardianship of the jurist")."The tension between the two Marjiiya already existed a long time ago, but now it has an impact on the Iraqi position towards the Syria crisis," a senior Shi'ite cleric with links to Marjiiya in Najaf said on condition of anonymity."If both Marjiiya had a unified position (toward Syria), we would witness a position of (Iraqi) government support for the Syrian regime".The Shi'ite-led government in Baghdad says it takes no sides in the civil war, but the flow of Iraqi militiamen across the border into Syria has compromised that official position.Khamenei and his faithful in Iraq and Iran regard Syria as a important link in a "Shi'ite Crescent" stretching from Tehran to Beirut through Baghdad and Damascus, according to senior clerics and politicians.Answering a question posted on his website by one of his followers regarding the legitimacy of fighting in Syria, senior Iraq Shi'ite cleric Kadhim al-Haeari, who is based in Iran, described fighting in Syria as a "duty" to defend Islam.Militants say that around 50 Iraqi Shi'ites fly to Damascus every week to fight, often alongside Assad's troops, or to protect the Sayyida Zeinab shrine on the outskirts of the capital, an especially sacred place for Shi'ites."I am following my Marjiiya. My spiritual leader has said fighting in Syria is a legitimate duty. I do not pay attention to what others say," said Ali, a former Mehdi army militant who was packing his bag to travel from Iraq to Syria."No one has the right to stop me. I am defending my religion, my Imam's daughter Sayyida Zeinab's shrine."A high-ranking Shi'ite cleric who runs the office of one of the four top Marjiiya in Najaf said the protection of Shi'ite shrines in Syria was used as a pretext by Iran to galvanize Shi'ites into action.
"SHI'ITE PROJECT"
In the 10 years since Saddam's fall, Iran's influence in Iraq has grown and it has sought to gain a foothold in Najaf in particular.Senior Iranian clerics have opened offices in Najaf, as well as non-governmental organizations, charities and cultural institutions, most of which are funded directly by Marjiiya in Iran, or the Iranian Embassy in Baghdad, local officials said.The Iranian flag flies over a two-storey building in an upscale neighborhood of Najaf, which houses the "Imam Khomeini Institution", named after the Islamic Republic's founder, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.The Imam Khomeini Institution is one of many Iranian entities that have engaged in social activities in Iraq, focusing on young men, helping them get married, and paying regular stipends to widows, orphans and students of religion.Some institutions also support young clerics and fund free trips for university students to visit Shi'ite shrines in Iran, including a formal visit to Khamenei's office in Tehran, Shi'ite politicians with knowledge of the activities say."We have a big project in Iraq aimed at spreading the principles of Velayet e-Faqih and the young are our target," a high-ranking Shi'ite leader who works under Khamenei's auspices said on condition of anonymity."We are not looking to establish an Islamic State in Iraq, but at least we want to create revolutionary entities that would be ready to fight to save the Shi'ite project".(Editing by Isabel Coles and Mark Heinrich)
