El-Burullus testimony
Muhammad el-Nahass, left-wing muralist and community activist in El-Burullus:
In the Friday prayers following the uprising, the salafis came out strongly against the intifada. The preachers in their mosques, and we have many, said strikes and demonstrations against the ruler were haram. The people (worshipers) did not stay silent. They yelled back at the preachers, and at least in one occasion they assaulted a sheikh in a mosque.
In other news related El-Burullus, the last four detainees from the town in the pigs’ custody have been finally released. Mabrouk. Let’s not forget our brothers in Mahalla however.
