Salafi Dawa Vice-Chief Yasser Borhamy has publicly challenged the terrorist organization dubbing itself the ‘Islamic State’ to debate him online, saying he cannot understand how they can justify the murder of Egyptian army soldiers, that they called ‘army of apostates.’
In an article posted on the Ana Salafi website on Saturday, Borhamy called on the IS to initiate dialogue, saying “Open the door for dialogue if you like, otherwise you will be judged for this conflict on doomsday. Don’t be convinced with slogans that deceive the ignorant. Don’t side with them. Don’t shed blood, before you understand the issues.”
Condemning the video posted by the terrorist Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis group entitled ‘Sinai State,’ in which they pledge allegiance to IS, Borhamy also warned the public against the fragmentation of Egypt.
