Egypt's ruling Salafists: Conspiring against Mursi, who is the "ruling imam", is conspiring against Allah

Good thing the Obama administration played a vital role in forcing Mubarak out and reassured us that Muslim Brotherhood is a "largely secular" and "non-violent" group and that there is no need to be afraid of them.
(allAfrica) Salafi (ultraconservative) leader and member of the constituent assembly, tasked with rewriting the constitution, Saeed Abdel Azeem, said that conspiring against Egypt's ruler (President Mohamed Mursi) is equal to conspiring against God.

Describing Egypt's president as the "ruling imam", Abdel Azeem argued that as Mursi may be unable to apply the law of God fully at this point, the nation must overcome political differences and rally behind him.

He added in his Eid speech on Sunday in Alexandria's Shohadaa Square that Egypt will return to being ruled by Islam and Prophet Mohamed's Sunnah and not democracy, socialism or nationalism.
