Hundreds of Muslims demonstrated in Indonesia and Malaysia Friday against a crackdown on the protest camps of Egypt’s Islamists which left almost 600 people dead.
It came as
Cairo braced for more protests after supporters of Mohamed Morsi, ousted as
president in a military coup last month, called for a “Friday of anger”, and
the UN urged “maximum restraint” from all sides.
In the
Indonesian capital Jakarta, about 1,000 protesters converged on the United
States embassy after Friday prayers, an AFP reporter said.
US
President Barack Obama has cancelled a joint US-Egyptian military exercise but
has stopped short of suspending Washington’s annual $1.3 billion in aid to
Egypt.
They
brandished placards reading “Stop Egypt Massacre”, “Jihad for Egypt” and “Stop
Killing” outside the mission as scores of riot police stood guard.
“We have
witnessed such cruelty,” one protester shouted through a loudspeaker, while
others responded by shouting “God is Great” in Arabic.
“God,
please shows us ways to fight back.”
At a
demonstration of several hundred people at the landmark Hotel Indonesia traffic
circle, protest organizer Arief Aditya said, “As Muslims we feel a connection
to those in Egypt.” Indonesia is the country with the world’s biggest Muslim
population.
“The
Egyptian military is using inhumane tactics against protestors,” added Aditya,
who is the head of the Islamic Organization at the University of Indonesia.
In the
Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur, about 500 Muslims protesters gathered after
Friday prayers outside a major mosque in the suburbs to denounce the crackdown.
Protesters
held posters that read “Respect the people’s choices, not the coup,” and
shouted in unison “Long live Morsi!”
“We want
the world to urge the UN to stop the killing,” said Khairudin Abas, a protest
organizer with Muslim group ABIM.
The NGO
organized similar protests at other major mosques in several states around
Malaysia, along with the country’s opposition Islamic political party and other
groups.
“We want
the military to stop the killing and return power back to Morsi, the
democratically elected president,” he told AFP.
The
protesters in the Indonesian and Malaysian capitals dispersed peacefully later
in the afternoon.
Both the
Indonesian and Malaysian governments have expressed deep concern over events in
Egypt, with Malaysia urging its citizens to defer non-essential travel to the
country.
Egyptian
officials have said 578 people were killed in Wednesday’s clashes, the
country’s bloodiest day in decades.

“… You Can See It In Your News
The final item is this: All around you, dear ones, is proof of what I'm telling you. You have two countries currently in turmoil at the moment, and a third one about to go. All three have been stable for a very long time. Who would have thought that Egypt would be part of this? Egypt seemed to be in balance for decades - or was it? Syria ruled itself with an iron hand and created a stability of power that was absolute. What would then cause these to erupt the way they did and at this time? If you take a look at why, and why now, you'll see the timing is all around 2013 and 2012. And it's around Human consciousness that is starting to be more transparent and saying, "We don't want what we now understand and see is continuing unbalance in our country. We see it never getting better, and now we want finality and we want resolution." That is what you're looking at.
It's ugly to look at this, for there is death, suffering, sorrow and turmoil. There is frustration, and the resolution of it all may take longer than you want it to. But someday you will look back and see the results clearly. Mass Human consciousness is starting to change and demand what it expects in the way of integrity. Governments often want the old ways of power, but their people want schools, hospitals, safe streets and parks, and peace with their neighbors.
So expect more of this, especially this year. The more turmoil you see, the more the puzzle is being worked with. So we close this message the way we started it. I know who you are, magnificent one. I sit at your feet in awe. Do not miss this point! Old souls have been here through all of the transitions of humanity. Do you understand that? Four times you came close to this shift you are today experiencing and four times you missed it. Four times you died in the process of trying. This time you didn't.
Do not miss this: There is something within your Akash, a "remembrance button", that is being pushed and plays an emotion that says, "We've felt this before and it didn't turn out well." Don't let this energy define you. It's the button of duality and fear that says things are always the way they are and they will repeat themselves because that's just the way life works. No it isn't! You are magnificent and you have the ability at this point to finally begin to see it, and to cast all the fears and the voices in the back seat of life and tell them you are in charge now and you are the one driving the car of your reality. That's the message of the day. ….”
