lol how nice, the zionists and neocons in the USA now even spread the news in Egypt:

An Egyptian state-controlled newspaper escalated Egypt's dispute with the Lebanese group Hezbollah Sunday by calling its leader, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, a "monkey sheikh."

Tensions between Egypt, a predominantly Sunni country, and Hezbollah, a Shi'ite group backed by Iran, have been running high since Nasrallah in December accused Cairo of complicity with Israel in its siege of the Gaza Strip.

Cairo said Wednesday it had detained 49 Egyptian, Palestinian and Lebanese men linked to Hezbollah, accusing them of planning attacks in Egypt, and Sunday a prosecution source said five Egyptians and one Palestinian had been charged with spying and possessing firearms without a license.

The six men admitted having links with Hezbollah but denied other charges, the source said.

A separate prosecution source said the 49 men included at least one Sudanese national, and that police had found explosives and bomb-making material in their possession.

Nasrallah said in response that one of those held was a Hezbollah member and that he and up to 10 others were trying to supply military equipment to Hamas-run Gaza. He denied they had no plans for attacks inside Egypt.

The state-owned Egyptian newspaper al-Gomhouria newspaper said: "We do not allow you, monkey sheikh, to mock our judiciary, for you are a bandit and veteran criminal who killed your countrymen, but we will not allow you to threaten the security and safety of Egypt ... and if you threaten its sovereignty, you will burn!"

The editorial, by editor Mohamed Ali Ibrahim, covered the front page and carried the headline "A criminal who knows no repentance" over a picture of Nasrallah.

"I say to you what every Egyptian knows, that you are an Iranian party," Ibrahim wrote. "Are there instructions from Iran to drag Egypt into a conflict?"

BORDER CLOSED

Egypt and Iran have not had full diplomatic relations since shortly after Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution, when Iran cut ties after former President Anwar Sadat hosted the deposed Iranian shah in Cairo.

Ties were further strained during the conflict in Gaza in January, when Tehran criticized Egypt for not doing enough to help Palestinians and for closing its border with the strip, which Egypt shut to most traffic after the Islamist group Hamas took control of the area.

Egypt and other Sunni states, such as Saudi Arabia, are worried by what they see as the rising influence of Iran in the region. Both Cairo and Riyadh have said Iran's power in the region is growing.

Egyptian state daily al-Ahram, citing an unnamed official, described the detained men as part of a "terrorist cell" and called Nasrallah an accomplice to a crime.

Mustapha al-Sayyid, political science professor at Cairo University, said Cairo wanted to use the detentions to undermine anyone sympathizing with Hezbollah or Iran's position. Some ordinary Egyptians and opposition groups agree with Iran and Hezbollah is saying the Egyptian government should do more to help the Palestinians in Gaza.

"The Egyptian government wants to denounce Hezbollah and embarrass Arab governments who have close relations with Iran," Sayyid said, adding that the al-Gomhouria article reflected official thinking.

"The Egyptian government is worried that there is a competition with Iran and that Iran is using its allies in the region, like Hezbollah and Hamas, in order to cause problems and difficulties for the Egyptian government," he said.

Is this about the action itself or the intent?

What idiots.

We're worried about the rise of the kuffars, while they're fretting over the rise of the Shia!


Did someone forget to tell them Shia are Muslim too?

That is highly debatable. Shia's are swarming in flocks to Cairo. I wouldn't be surprised if it turns into Iraq like civil war in five years
