Egyptian Awqaf minister condemns MB preachers' inciting statement

Awqaf Minister Mohamed Mokhtar Gomaa criticized on Thursday the inciting statement signed by 160 preachers of the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood group against Egypt's judges, policemen and media people.

The statement, as reported by an independent Egyptian newspaper, is calling for breaking into jails to help prisoners escape.

Those who signed this terrorist statement are committing crimes against their religion and nation, the minister said in a statement, calling for placing them on airport watchlist.

He also called for cleansing state institutions from remnants of this terrorist group.

He urged listing the Qaradawi union known as the International Union of Muslim Scholars among terrorist entities and treating its members as members of terrorist groups.
