Islamists stone Egypt’s ElBaradei

Share:

Hundreds of Islamists hurled stones at secular opposition figure Mohamed ElBaradei as he went to cast his ballot in a referendum in Egypt’s capital on Saturday, an AFP reporter said.

“We don’t want you,” they shouted, forcing the former UN nuclear watchdog chief to retreat to his car and leave, but not before being hit by at least one stone in the back and drenched with water.

ElBaradei is widely respected on the world stage for his work as an international diplomat, but under the ousted regime of Hosni Mubarak, he came under repeated criticism for his frequent trips abroad.

He was also accused of being out of touch with the reality of Egyptian life.

Mohamed ElBaradei (C), former Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, leaves a polling station where he wanted to cast his vote for a constitution referendum in Cairo March 19, 2011. A crowd of people blocked ElBaradei from entering the polling station in Cairo on Saturday to cast his vote, shoving him and smashing his car window with rocks as he left.

ElBaradei went to vote in Saturday’s referendum on constitutional reform after returning from a speaking engagement in New Delhi sponsored by a leading Indian English-language newspaper.

    What are you talking about Fadi81?
    This has nothing to do with muslims. In the west, the free democratic west, the opposition leader of Canada’s parliament, who was away from Canada for a long period of time, is still being harassed by that country’s government about his knowledge of and loyalty to his very own country, Canada.
    In USA, the free democratic west, Obama is still being checked out for parentage and country of birth. As President, he was challenged to prove that that he is a christian and show his birth certificate among other things. Just check out one of your christian cable channels and you will find out what I am talking about.

      lol, what am i talking about? did you read the article? it has everything to do with islamist as i stated (not moslems as you stated), u simply need to read the first line “Hundreds of Islamists hurled stones at secular opposition figure Mohamed ElBaradei as he went to cast his ballot”…and as for Canada and Ignatief ofcourse they will question his intentions and political credibility after being gone so long, That is politics! And as for Obama, he stated he was Christian, and because of his roots and his father being a moslem people asked for his proof, and let me remind you these were the “crazies”. but also you must know they were not hurling stones at him like a bunch of primitives lol…so your big reply was meaningless as you tried to draw comparrisons between civil political behaviour and Islamist primitives hurling stones at each other lol….
