মুসলিম ভ্রাতৃত্ববোধ

মুসলিম-মুসলিম ভাই-ভাই। মিসরীয় টিভিতে শিয়া ও সুন্নী দুই মুসলিমের আলোচনার সময় এই ভ্রাতৃত্ববোধ খুব প্রকট হয়ে ওঠে।

Following are excerpts from a TV show, in which Egyptian Sunni activist Walid Ismail and Egyptian Shiite activist Mahmoud Ahmad Mahmoud come to blows. The show aired on Al-Shabab TV, via the Internet, on September 9, 2012.

Moderator: Let's just talk about one more thing, since we have only a few minutes left. Let's talk about the citizen and citizenship. Are Egyptian Shiites more loyal to Egypt or to Iran? In Lebanon, Hassan Nasrallah said: "I'm more loyal to Iran than to Lebanon." Is it the same case with the Shiites in Egypt?

Shiite activist Mahmoud Ahmad Mahmoud: Things are much simpler than that. There is this bunch of really stupid people, who are like a woodworm gnawing away at the Egyptian people. I'm talking about the Wahhabis. They are the ones who are responsible for everything – they are the ones who have driven a wedge between Muslims and Copts, and between Muslims and Muslims. They themselves are divided into different sects.

Secondly, I was a Salafi and then I became a Shiite. I wasn't born a Shiite. My father has a Masters degree in Sunni jurisprudence...

Sunni activist Walid Ismail: He renounced you...

Mahmoud Ahmad Mahmoud: You are a liar.

Walid Ismail: He did, and so did your brothers.

Mahmoud Ahmad Mahmoud: You are a liar...

Walid Ismail: By God, they all renounced you...

Mahmoud Ahmad Mahmoud: Your wife is contacting Shiites, offering to engage them in "pleasure marriage."

Walid Ismail: That's inappropriate...

Mahmoud Ahmad Mahmoud: Do you want me to provide recordings?

Walid Ismail throws something at Mahmoud Ahmad Mahmoud, who jumps out of his chair

Walid Ismail: Shame on you! That was below the belt! You're being insolent.

Moderator: That's enough, Walid. [to Mahmoud Ahmad Mahmoud:] How dare you mention his wife?! Shame on you!

Mahmoud Ahmad Mahmoud: I didn't say anything like that.

Moderator: Show some respect! Shame on you!

Mahmoud Ahmad Mahmoud: I didn't say anything like that.

Moderator: That's it, Walid. I apologize...

Dear viewers, let's take a short break. We'll return shortly.
