VIDEO: Millions in Egypt call for Islamic rule: 29 July 2011

Millions around Egypt, and most concentrated in Tahrir Square, Cairo, called for the rule of Islamic law. Chants included “islamiyyah Islamiyyah” and “The people desire the rule of allah’s law” (الشعب يريد تحكيم شرع الله).

In April 2007 the university of Maryland in America undertook a survey of Egyptians and the majority supported a Khilafah and also they supported the benefits of a Khilafah such as standing up to America and Israel, international voice for Islam, more Islam in society etc. An extract is below.

Most significantly, large majorities approve of many of al Qaeda’s principal goals. Large majorities in all countries (average 70 percent or higher) support such goals as: “stand up to Americans and affirm the dignity of the Islamic people,” “push the US to remove its bases and its military forces from all Islamic countries,” and “pressure the United States to not favor Israel.”

Equally large majorities agree with goals that involve expanding the role of Islam in their society. On average, about three out of four agree with seeking to “require Islamic countries to impose a strict application of sharia,” and to “keep Western values out of Islamic countries.” Two-thirds would even like to “unify all Islamic counties into a single Islamic state or caliphate.”
