Egyptian MP: We should nuke Israel



Source: The Jerusalem Post
February 13, 2007

A prominent Egyptian lawmaker on Monday suggested the Muslim world destroy Israel in a nuclear holocaust in order to halt renovation work outside Jerusalem's Temple Mount.

Muslim leaders claim the work, which is being done on a collapsed earthen ramp leading to the only Temple Mount gate available to non-Muslims, is really an attempt to undermine the foundations of the mosques that currently occupy the holy hill.

Parliament member Mohammed el-Katani, a member of dictator Hosni Mubarak's own party, told his colleagues that the only way to end the affair is to wipe Israel out of existence with nuclear bombs.

On paper, Israel is at peace with Egypt.
