Saeed Abdel-Azim accuses opposition leaders of following US diktats, vows that any attempt to unseat Egypt's elected president would be met with 'Islamic revolution of unprecedented numbers'
Ahram Online, Monday 10 Dec 2012

"They are the enemies of Islam," Abdel-Azim said of certain opposition leaders.
