Article in Muslim Brotherhood Website Calls to Expose the 'Fifth Column' in Egypt

In an article published July 3, 2011 on the Muslim Brotherhood website, Egyptian author and playwright Khaled Ibrahim called on the Egyptian youth who launched the revolution to hunt down and expose the "fifth column" that is threatening the homeland. Ibrahim listed numerous circles and bodies where these "traitors" can be found, including among foreign organizations, NGOs that receive foreign funding, intellectuals and journalists, and artists who "corrupt the values of society." Also suspicious are all former members and supporters of the Mubarak regime.

The following are excerpts from the article:

Foreign Powers Are Recruiting Collaborators in Egypt under the Pretext of Spreading Democracy

"The announcement that our heroes, the members of the Egyptian intelligence [apparatuses], have captured collaborators and spies who threatened the security of our beloved homeland is still shaking us the core. Night and day, we see and hear announcements by foreign countries looking to fund [various activities in Egypt] under the pretext of spreading democracy. Since the wise Egyptians know that a hawk does not drop the fledglings [it has captured], they realize that these funds are meant to create a fifth column of collaborators who will clandestinely strive to weaken our country and pave the way to occupying it, militarily or politically, by shaping and directing public opinion [and harnessing it] to foreign agendas. Therefore, the national security apparatuses and their honorable members must perform their duty of protecting the homeland by deterring the collaborators who aim to undermine and destroy its security.

Safwat Higazi: "Anyone who thinks this is a conflict between the Jews, the Zionists, or the Israelis and the Palestinians does not understand properly what's going on. I believe that this is a matter of creed. It is a mistake to think that this is a struggle between these Zionists, Jews, Israelis, or foreign riffraff, on the one hand, and the Palestinians, on the other hand. No, this is a real conflict between two religions. It's the conflict of the Arab-Islamic nation – not merely of the Palestinian nation."

Following are excerpts from an interview with Morris Sadek, president of National American Coptic Assembly, which aired on Dream 1 TV on July 13, 2011:

Interviewer: "When you call for international protection [for Egyptian Copts], you are kindling fanaticism by the others. The Muslims would say: You see? These Copts are not loyal to Egypt."

Morris Sadek: "Don't you know that Egypt is under occupation? Every Muslim knows that he is one of Egypt's occupiers."

Interviewer: "No, the Egyptians would never agree to occupation. We were occupied by a corrupt regime, but we toppled it."

Morris Sadek: "History tells us that Islam and Muslim Bedouin attacked Egypt and occupied it. This occupation continues to this day, as is evident in the second article of the constitution…"
