“A war against the Muslim Brotherhood is a war against Islam.”
According to Al Jazeera, Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah has spoken out in support of Egypt’s military. “I call on the honest men of Egypt and the Arab and Muslim nations … to stand as one man and with one heart in the face of attempts to destabilise a country that is at the forefront of Arab and Muslim history,” he says.
