Egyptian protesters should demand Islamic law says al-Qaeda

Egyptian protesters should demand Islamic law says al-Qaeda: "A group which is a front for al-Qaeda has called for an Islamic state of Egypt.

The group, The Islamic State of Iraq, has called on protesters in Egypt to overthrow the current establishment and push for a government which promotes Islamic law.

A US-based Middle East watching group has intercepted a statement on an Islamic Web site, which calls on 'every able-bodied man' in Egypt to open 'the doors of martyrdom.'

The statement urges Egyptians to ignore the old ways of 'secularism, democracy and rotten pagan nationalism.'

'Your jihad,' the message said, 'is in support of Islam, the weak and oppressed in Egypt, for your people in Gaza and Iraq and for every Muslim who was touched by the oppression of the tyrant of Egypt and his masters in Washington and Tel Aviv.'"
