Article: Senior Official in Egyptian Islamic Jihad: If We Come to Power, We will Launch a Campaign of Islamic Conquests to Instate Shari'a Worldwide: "The Christian is Free to Worship His God in His Church, but if the Christians Make Problems for the Muslims, I Will Exterminate Them"
On 29 August 2011, the US-Israeli Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) published on its website the English translation of excerpts from an interview with Sheikh 'Adel Shehato, "a senior official in Egyptian Islamic Jihad (EIJ)", which was printed in Arabic in the Egyptian newspaper, "Roz Al-Yousef", on 13 August 2011. This Special Dispatch bears the usual cumbersome title, "Senior Official in Egyptian Islamic Jihad: If We Come to Power, We will Launch a Campaign of Islamic Conquests to Instate Shari'a Worldwide: 'The Christian is Free to Worship His God in His Church, but if the Christians Make Problems for the Muslims, I Will Exterminate Them'".
Excerpt: "As Muslims, we must believe that the Koran is our constitution, and that it is [therefore] impossible for us to institute a Western democratic regime. I oppose democracy because it is not the faith of the Muslims, but the faith of the Jews and Christians. ... According to Islam, it is forbidden for people to rule and to legislate laws, as Allah alone is ruler. ... We said that 'the people wants to implement the shari'a ' ... based on [our] reading of the situation on the ground. [At the same time,] we did not make demands for the people's sake in the people's name, but demanded the rule of Allah. And once Allah's law is instated, the role of the people will end and Allah will reign supreme."
