Abdulla Ali Sabri writes that they chant slogans of death for America and Israel and call for victory for Islam, that is their crime in the eyes of members of the political security who have been steady in arresting those people every Friday. The problem of those people is that they were misled by slogans of the society and the regime as their slogan is derived from the fiery statements of the regime and thus the slogan was the least they can offer to their brethren in Palestine and Iraq in expression of their protest to the Zionist and American aggressive policies. Authorities do not bear listening to such slogans and the prison cells are the destination awaiting those who chant with such slogans inside the Grand Mosque. It is known that he protest of those young people is the American and Israeli policies only, so why the security would alert its apparatuses to quell those voices?
