'Muslim Brotherhood claims interim Egyptian president is Jewish'

[Cincinnatus]

Aha! What is really happening in Egypt explained at last.

The Muslim Brotherhood claimed in a post on its official website that Egypt's new interim president Adli Mansour is Jewish, The Washington Post reported on Friday. The article on IkhwanOnline was subsequently removed.

Mansour, who previously served as the constitutional court's chief justice was sworn in as interim president on Thursday after the army removed Islamist President Mohamed Morsi from power.

According to the Post, the article falsely stated that Mansour is “considered to be a Seventh Day Adventist, which is a Jewish sect.”

The authors also claimed that the Pope of Egypt's Coptic church had refused to convert Mansour to Christianity.

The article on IkhwanOnline, according to the Post, posited that Mansour's appointment was backed by Israel and the US as part of a plan to eventually install leading opposition figure and former IAEA chief Mohamed ElBardei as president.

The Post quoted the article as saying that ElBaradei had turned down an invitation to participate in a conference that denied the Holocaust as "a token gesture offered to the Jews by ElBaradei so that he can become President of the Republic in the fake elections that the military will guard and whose results they will falsify in their interests. All with the approval of America, Israel and the Arabs, of course.”

I never knew the Seventh Day Adventist were a Jewish sect like the Hasidim or Reformed, but there it is in black and white. The rest of the piece is quite revelatory also.

I didn't know that, either and my first husbands family were all 7th Day Adventist... I have friends who are and I remember his wife saying that people accused him once of being Jewish and I didn't "get" what she was telling me... it makes more sense now.

7th day Adventist is a Christian protestant sect that celebrate Saturday as their Sabbath as the Jews do they are not Jews nor a sect of the Jewish faith.

I didn't think they were, I'd think my ex-inlaws would have said something in the almost ten years we were married ~LOL~    .... maybe the Saturday Sabbath is why someone was teasing my local friends about being Jewish....... 

I do know they don't eat meat.  Found that out on a Thanksgiving we went to his grandparents for dinner.. I walked in the house and said I didn't smell a turkey cooking and hubby said -- oh, I forgot to tell you, my family doesn't eat meat.  Everything was vegetables and vegie meat and finally I'm thinking well the chocolate meringue pie should be good.. took a big piece (as I was starving at that point - squash casserole doesn't cut it for Thanksgiving dinner) and almost gagged.. they also don't eat real chocolate -- it was a CAROB pie.
