"Following President Morsi’s ousting, Syrians, as well as other - TopicsExpress



          

"Following President Morsi’s ousting, Syrians, as well as other minority and foreign groups in Egypt, have found themselves further ostracized. Accusations are flying among both Islamist and opposition groups, labeling Syrians, Palestinians, Israelis, Iraqis, and Americans as provocateurs and foreigners meddling in Egyptian internal affairs. One notable instance, which many human-rights organizations labeled as hate speech, was a statement by Tawfik Okasha, owner of Al-Faraeen channel. On television, he told his viewers that any Syrian, Palestinian, or Iraqi seen on the street should be handed over to the police. While the majority of Syrian refugees have not taken part in protests, a handful of Syrians were arrested following armed clashes between pro-Morsi and opposition protesters, further inciting anger against refugees in Egypt."
