Following is an excerpt from an address by Egyptian cleric Safwat Higazi, which aired on Al-Nas TV on August 9, 2011.
Safwat Higazi: The people of Damascus, in whose country the revolution is being waged – in Hama, in Aleppo, and in Homs – must rebel against the injustice and the tyranny, and are bound to achieve freedom. The army of the people of Damascus – the Syrian army – instead of liberating the Golan, is killing Muslims, the Sunnis, in Aleppo, in Hama, in Homs, in Deir Al-Zour, and in Daraa.
It is inconceivable that the people of Damascus will remain silent in the face of the injustice befalling their country. It is inconceivable that they will remain watching from the sidelines.

The people of Damascus must take part in the creation of these glorious times, which are now being created in the Arab countries.
