According to the army’s official data, some 50 Egyptian military soldiers have been killed and injured over the past few days.

3. Czech President: “Spread of Radical Islam in EU Candidate State Bosnia Funded by Saudi Arabia”

President of the Czech Republic Miloš Zeman said there is a risk of Saudi Arabia-funded radical Islam spreading to European Union candidate state Bosnia-Herzegovina. Speaking at a Visegrád Group conference on integrating Baltic nations into the EU, President Zeman said: 'All four presidents have clearly agreed that, in particular, there is a risk of further spreading of radical Islam in Bosnia. I am glad that my colleagues have pointed out that this spread is largely funded by Saudi Arabian sources.' Hungarian President János Áder, Slovak President Andrej Kiska, and Polish President Andrzej Duda agreed with Zeman that these funds do not serve to enrich Bosnia-Herzegovina or neighbouring countries, but rather to invest in mosques and minarets, which may trigger an outbreak of ‘religious intolerance’.

Meanwhile, Mr Qadhi said that to 'kill … the homosexual – this is also our religion', and that 'to make fun of Allah and his Messenger, the punishment is death'.
