In an article titled "Israel's End Is Near," Dr. Muhammad Moro, an Islamist candidate for the Egyptian presidency, claimed that the path to world freedom was the destruction of Israel, as it was the spearhead of global imperialism. He said it was the national and religious duty of Palestinians, Arabs, Muslims, and freedom seekers the world over to march peacefully in their millions to Israel's borders in order to liberate Palestine.
Moro represents the National Union for Preserving the Revolution party, which is still in the process of formation, and which bills him as an Islamist alternative to the other candidates, such as former Arab League secretary-general 'Amr Moussa and Al-Ghad party leader Dr. Ayman Nour. He is considered close to the Muslim Brotherhood, his father having been a member of the organization. Moro was arrested a number of times under the Sadat and Mubarak regimes, and in the past maintained friendly relations with Fathi Shaqaqi, founder of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad organization.[1] He is editor of Al-Mukhtar Al-Islami
magazine and a columnist for the Egyptian daily Al-Yawm Al-Saba'
.
Following are excerpts from his article:[2]
"I was the first to call for the liberation of Palestine through peaceful marches of millions to the borders of occupied Palestine – from Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon – bringing together millions of Palestinian refugees, tens of millions of Arabs, and hundreds of millions of Muslims, in addition to those freedom seekers the world over who believe that the path to world freedom is the destruction of Israel, as it is the spearhead of the international imperialism headed by the U.S.
