Minister: Egypt has no intention of waging jihad against Syria

PanARMENIAN.Net - Egypt has no intention of waging a holy war against Syria, but still supports the Syrian peoples' desire for freedom, new Egyptian Foreign Minister Nabil Fahmy said on Saturday, July 19, according to Reuters.

The Islamist Muslim Brotherhood movement of ousted Egyptian President Mohamed Morsilast month joined a call by some Sunni clerics for a jihad against the Syrian government and its Shi'ite allies.

Signaling a different approach, the newly installed Fahmy told reporters: "There are no intentions for jihad in Syria."
