Egyptian Cleric: Brotherhood Candidate Will Restore the "United States of the Arabs" with Jerusalem as Its Capital
(MEMRI) Egyptian cleric Safwat Higazi appeared at a rally for Muslim Brotherhood candidate Muhammad Mursi, which was aired on Al-Nas TV on May 1, 2012, where he said: "We can see how the dream of the Islamic Caliphate is being realized, Allah willing, by Dr. Muhammad Mursi and his brothers, his supporters, and his political party. We can see how the great dream, shared by us all - that of the United States of the Arabs...the United States of the Arabs will be restored by this man and his supporters. The capital of the Caliphate - the capital of the United States of the Arabs - will be Jerusalem, Allah willing." "Our capital shall not be Cairo, Mecca, or Medina. It shall be Jerusalem, Allah willing. Our cry shall be: 'Millions of martyrs march toward Jerusalem.'" "We say it loud and clear: Yes, Jerusalem is our goal. We shall pray in Jerusalem, or else we shall die as martyrs on its threshold."
