Al-Jazeera, Muslim Brotherhood claim Egypt’s New President is Jewish
On live television, an Al-Jazeera correspondent and well-known broadcaster, Ahmed Mansour, claimed that President Adly Mansour is a “Seventh Day Adventist…which is a Jewish sect.” [By the way, seventh day adventist is actually part of Protestant Christianity]
On his Facebook page, Ahmed Mansour provided more details, stating that President Mansour attempted to convert to Christianity, but that the Copitc pope refused to baptise him.
These claims were quickly picked up by the official website of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood, IhkwanOnline, which posted an article claiming that the country’s new interim president, Adly Mansour, is secretly Jewish and part of an American and Israeli conspiracy to install Dr. Mohamed El-Baradei as President.
The Muslim Brotherhood’s article has since been removed, but does highlight the extents that the Brotherhood may be willing to go to mobilize public support against what it calls a “military coup d’etat.”
