A controversy among the leading intellectual lights of Egyptian society. Sheikh Saeed Numan, a cleric at Al-Azhar University who we encountered last week talking about foetus marriages, claims that the Jews have a plot to decrease Egypt's population. Two weeks later Egyptian journalist and political sociologist Dr. Hoda Zakariya disputes the learned cleric's theory. On the contrary, the Jewish plan is to increase Egypt's population.
Who is right? Whatever, clearly the Jews are up to no good one way or another.
Also, from Sheikh Numan:
"Darwin's theory of evolution says that humans were originally apes. At the same time, Darwin talked about God's Chosen People. We also have Sigmund Freud who said that human beings are controlled by sex. We have Friedrich Engels and Karl Marx who said that religion is the opium of the people. We have Theodor Herzl, who created the Protocols of the Elders of Zion that destroyed the world. As a religious scholar, I am responsible for preventing destructive Jewish principles from infiltrating my society."
He used the word jihad to mean war, even though we are always told it doesn’t mean that.

I am frequently shocked at the low intellectual level of the commentators, such as this one, that you often see on broadcasts in the Arab world. MEMRI can't be mistranslating all of them. Either their "scholars," journalists and intellectuals are crazy, or they think their auduence is. Either way, it's not terribly reassuring.
