We do not want anyone to do whatever they want in our Arab and Muslim countries in particular. And now Mr. Al-Zawahiri has arrived conveniently in time to establish an Islamic state in Egypt. He wants to seize the opportunity to carry out terrible criminal activities such as bombing and destruction. But we, on our part, want to stop him and stand in his way, and we will not allow him to do whatever he wishes. I want the heroic Egyptian people, who have strived in order get rid of the previous regime which was like a nightmare to them, to be united. We do not want foreigners to interfere in our internal affairs. We want to be united against terrorism and terrorists, and against cowards like them. What we want from the Egyptian people is for them to stand strong in the face of all the circumstances that have been harassing them ever since the regime was removed… and believe me, heroic people of Egypt, that Ayman Al-Zawahiri and Osama bin Laden are the most despicable creatures on the face of the earth. They do not want anything good for the Arab and Muslim nations in particular. They exploit every opportunity to carry out their cowardly and filthy acts. By attempting to establish an Islamic state, they are aiming at creating sectarian strife between Muslims and the others sects, including Christians and Sabeans and others. We do not want any dissension between Muslims and Christians at all. Let us all pray to God, the Exalted and the Most High, asking Him to protect the Arab and Muslim nations from Ayman Al-Zawahiri and his evil, and from the murdered Osama bin Laden and his even greater evil.

Yes to the application of sharia: - “Lo! Religion with God is surrender to His Will and Guidance.” - “And whoso seeks as religion anything other than surrender to God, it will not be accepted from him, and he will be a loser in the Hereafter.” We welcome the application of sharia, which must rule all aspects of our life: - “And if the people of the townships had believed and kept away from evil, surely we should have opened for them blessings from the sky and from the earth. But unto every messenger they gave the lie, and so we seized them on account of what they used to earn.” When will people believe in the necessity of the application of the divine law? - “Lo! I am innocent of that which ye associate with Him.” O God! Make your sharia rule on earth.

You are one of those who create havoc on earth, and you do not have a clear ideology. You also belong to the Islamic groups that have killed many people without right. Keep away from Egypt, so as not to face what you cannot endure.

Mr. Al-Zawahiri, you should take care of your own affairs, because no one asked you for your opinion. Where were you and Mr. Osama bin Laden during the days of the revolution? What is the cause of this extra attention to Egypt? What do you know about Egypt? You have been hiding in the mountains for many years. I suggest that you reclaim a piece of land with the help of some of your supporters and bring some sheep to start a good project. Please, stay away from Egypt, because the game is over.

Stay in your hole, because you have no place in Egypt, O serial killer!

O man! It is better for you to stay in the mountains and leave us alone. The Muslims and the Christians were together in Tahrir Square, facing gunfire without any difference between one another.

Is it possible for the secularists and intellectual mercenaries who were supporters of Mubarak’s regime to determine the demands of the Egyptian youth? Indeed, they are hypocrites. The Egyptians want an Islamic state and they have sacrificed in order to achieve that dream. They have fought the regimes of Abd El-Nassir and Sadat and offered martyrs for the sake of this cause, in addition to tens of thousands of prisoners. However, the problem is that the Egyptian youth consider that the project of the Islamic state is very difficult, but they do not reject it. Nevertheless, some youth are mainly interested in the needs of this world.

We are in favor of the change that took place in Egypt and overthrowing its corrupt dictatorship, but at the same time, we reject the demands of al-Zawahiri and the fatwas of this criminal terrorist, who calls for an Islamic state in Egypt. Who is al-Zawahiri to demand that the Egyptian people do so? He is no more than a terrorist who wants to divide the Egyptians and foment sectarian strife through his lying statements, through which he tries to find a foothold for himself and for the dirty terrorist organization Al-Qaeda in Egypt. The statements of Al-Zawahiri are a desperate attempt to find a foothold in order to convince some extremists, who are ready to adopt the poisonous ideas of Al-Qaeda. The fatwas of this terrorist are useless and will not affect the process of change in Egypt, because the Egyptian people are shrewd and can thwart the conspiracy of Al-Zawahiri to establish an Islamic state in Egypt. The calls of this criminal will never find supporters in Egypt, because it has never been ruled by Islamists‎, and the Egyptian people will never allow Egypt to be an arena for attracting Al-Qaeda and its criminal groups.

The statements of the criminal Ayman Al-Zawahiri confirm that he is a criminal, because this criminal tried to exploit the fall of Mubarak’s regime to demand the establishment of an Islamic state in Egypt. However, we believe that the Egyptian people did not revolt against the dictatorship for no reason; rather, the Egyptians deposed the dictatorship because of its crimes against the Egyptians. The demand of Al-Zawahiri is corruption incarnate, because he is bloodier than Hosni Mubarak is. He wants, through his fatwas and statements, to establish an Islamic state affiliated with Al-Qaeda, but this will never happen, because all the Arab countries originally adopted the true sharia, not the legislation that is invented by Al-Zawahiri to justify murder and crimes that contradict the essence of Islam. However, the fact that these are Islamic countries does not mean that we need to establish an Islamic emirate or theocracy, as demanded by the criminal Al-Zawahiri. However, I am confident that those criminals will never succeed in finding a foothold for themselves in Egypt, because the Egyptian people will never be ruled by the extremist Islamists‎. Woe to Ayman Al-Zawahiri and his fatwas. He must leave the Egyptian people alone, because they know how to handle their affairs wisely.

Al-Zawahiri is calling on the Egyptians to establish an Islamic state in Egypt, now that the people have sacked Mohammed Hosni Mubarak. But I think that that this cannot happen in the Arab and Islamic world, because of the ugly and cruel acts carried out by the al-Qaeda terrorist network. It recruits young people to carry out murder, blasts and booby-trapping. I think that the Egyptian people will certainly reject this illogical request, because it implies violence and sectarian strife, and it sows hatred between the Egyptians, as Egypt is comprised of several religions and sects. So I believe that this plan can never succeed in Egypt. It is necessary to pay attention to such schemes and plots, which begin with the name of Islam and end with massacres and destruction through booby-trapping, bombings and planting hatred among people who have always lived together. Al-Zawahiri should stay away and stop destroying an entire country, and what happened in Afghanistan and Iraq is well known. I confirm that Iraq is the clearest example to the world, because of what happened there at the hands of the members of al-Qaeda, the followers of Osama bin Laden and al-Zawahiri, who destroyed the country. The establishment of an Islamic state by al-Qaeda groups will certainly be rejected by the Egyptian people, even though there is the Muslim Brotherhood who would support this scheme, because it serves their common interests. But most of the Egyptians are moderate and belong to various sects and religions, and will not bow to such a plan, and this is obvious.

The evils of Al-Qaeda have spread to all the Arab and Muslim countries that had problems. They take advantage of all the discord and conflicts, even the simple ones among them, like what happened in Iraq, where they carried out acts of sabotage, murders, assassinations, and other crimes against humanity. However, the Iraqi people, in spite of all the difficulties and pains they suffered, stood in the face of that cowardly organization and arrested many of its heads and members. In Egypt, they attempted to sow strife between Muslims and Christians by bombing the Saints Church, but the Egyptians are wise and they know the purpose of Al-Qaeda’s leaders, and they know what happened in Yemen and Saudi Arabia and other countries.

Go away and look for a dog who will agree to play with you, because we don't need you or people like you.

I ask God to protect Egypt from the evils of terrorism and the terrorists in the first place, because we have seen the crimes of the terrorists in Iraq, Afghanistan and the other countries where they are active. They have destroyed these countries and killed many innocents and civilians in the name of Islam. I think that Al-Zawahiri should keep his fatwas to himself, because this criminal has demanded that Egypt turn into an Islamic state, but I would like to tell him that the first thing that motivated the youth to revolt against the regime is the desire to strengthen the unity of Egypt and to eliminate any form of discrimination among the Egyptian citizens. In other words, strengthening national unity in Egypt was one of the strongest motivations of this revolution. Anyway, I do not know how the infidel Al-Zawahiri allowed himself to interfere in the Egyptian affairs, or to offer fatwas or advice, as if he were the leader of this revolution and change in Egypt. I would like to remind him that he is violating Egyptian law and the constitution, because Egypt is a country that tolerates all religions, and it includes the Muslims and the Christians. We should not put our Christian compatriots at a disadvantage by establishing an Islamic state, in the sense of the word that you wish, to create discrimination in this country. I would like to assure the Egyptian Christians and tell them not to worry about the statements of this liar and hypocrite. We are one people, and I assure you that Egypt will be a constitutional country that is ruled by the law, without any discrimination. Egypt is a cultured country and it will never be influenced by such statements. I would also like to tell him that Al-Qaeda has no supporters in Egypt, and this will not happen in the future, because we aspire for advancement and progress, and we want to be ruled by a just president, free from any discrimination among the Egyptians. Even if we did establish an Islamic state in Egypt, it would never be as Osama bin Laden or Al-Zawahiri wish or imagine; rather, it will be an Islamic state in the true sense of the word, rather than being like the dirty terrorist organization of Al-Qaeda.

We can say nothing but: “God is sufficient for us, and for you are society’s lowest people.”

Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri are two sides of the same coin. They are both planning and carrying out cowardly terrorist acts in order to spread and provoke dissension and anxiety among the citizens, particularly in Muslim Arab countries. Indeed, Osama bin Laden is the biggest bastard and coward on earth, because all he recommends are filthy deeds. Osama bin Laden recruits what he calls Islamist Mujahedeen, influences their thought, trains them in the use of arms, covers their chests with explosives, and sends them to carry out filthy terrorist attacks against Muslims. Meanwhile, he claims that he is a Muslim man and belongs to the Muslim community, when in fact Islam and Muslims exclude him till Judgment Day. His doomed destiny is Hell fire and total misery, because he incites people to killing, slaughter, assassination and causing explosions. He is even more sinful than the suicide bombers. On the other hand, Ayman al-Zawahiri is the chief assistant of the filthy Osama bin Laden, because he similarly instructs recruits to carry out suicide attacks and explosions. Therefore, they are both damned in this life and then in the Hereafter. God willing, someday we will take revenge on them!

It is better for you to remain silent, because you do not know anything about Islam. Islam is in our hearts and dealings. If you want to say anything, you should think about it first, because we do not enjoy a good life or work. If you want to cause trouble, then please do this somewhere else.

The so-called Islamic State of Iraq is a wing of al-Qaeda in Iraq. It incites terrorism, murder and slaughter. In fact, it has carried out many acts against the Iraqis by destroying holy places, namely mosques, holy shrines and even churches.

In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the ever Merciful. The first thing that we have to discuss is whether our country will be Islamic, secular, Shiite, Christian, or civil. Islam cannot be subjected to people, but the people are subjected to it.

Thank God the Egyptians got rid of the Mubarak regime, which had been oppressing them for three decades; and now they have to choose their ruler. Elections must be held as soon as possible, so that the situation gets back to normal again, and to get rid of weak people who are not concerned with the interest of Egypt, and in order to have a strong and independent ruler whose sole concern is the good and sovereignty of his country. Some sheikhs and Muslim clerics have called for stability, and Al-Dhahiri [sic] has asked the Egyptians to establish an Islamic State now that they are rid of the rule of Mubarak. I would like to tell him that “the religion of God is Islam,” and that the Muslim and Christian Egyptians are brothers, despite their different sects. Everybody knows what happened before the fall of the regime, when some infiltrators attempted to sow dissension and sectarian strife. The bombing of churches and of the Saints Church in Egypt could have ignited huge dissension and bloodshed if it were not for the preachers and the love that exists between Christians and Muslims. Today, after the regime has been overthrown, you want to establish an Islamic State? I respect your opinion; but do not tell Egyptians what to do. Each one of them knows what he wants, and each one has his own opinion. They know their interests better and they have Islam inside their hearts. I want everybody to call the Egyptian people to unity, to self-confidence and to goodness. If everyone does what he likes, there will be no unity or stability; so I call on the Egyptians to unite for the sake of Egypt and the Egyptians.

I would like to ask you about the Islamic state at the time of the Prophet, peace be upon him, and the rightly guided caliphs. Was it a just country or not? Was it based on the principles of justice, freedom, equality, and good manners, or it was based on falsehood? I would like to know what the meaning of the civil state is. Does it mean relinquishing good manners and Islamic teachings? I need to know the meaning of this theory. Am I required to believe the Prophet, peace be upon him, who said that he was only sent to perfect the good, and that even if Fatimah, the daughter of Muhammad, stole, he would amputate her hand, or what? Those who fear the country that adopts the prophetic methodology are the thieves, traitors and adulterers. As I understand it, the youth are the soldiers of God, who put an end to the suppression and corruption. I support the trustworthy scholars of Egypt, who are loyal to their country, and I also support the armed forces, who are the best soldiers on earth, as described by the truthful Prophet, peace be upon him, the owner of good manners. O God! Help the Egyptians to restore what was stolen from them, improve their status, and protect their unity.

Egypt is a civilized state, where justice and equality prevail.

God stated that whoever does not rule according to what He reveals is an oppressor. We want Egypt to be ruled by Islam, in order to restore the justice of the time of the Prophet, peace be upon him. In such a case, all the sects of the Egyptian people, including the Muslims and the Christians, will be considered and they will live together peacefully, as was the case after Egypt was conquered by Amr ibn Al-Aas. The best age for Christianity in Egypt was after the advent of Islam, which stated that there is no compulsion in religion and that religion is for God, but the homeland is for all of us. Long live Egypt.
