A controversial Egyptian preacher and Islamist writer urged Wednesday President Mohammed Mursi to kill “thugs” and “criminals” who are burning the country otherwise people will do it by themselves.

“I am saying this publically and I am inciting the killing of criminals; I say criminals; thugs, thieves, those who are burning the country and those who are killing innocent people,” an angry-looking Wagdy Ghoneim said in a YouTube video.

 

“If the police or the prosecution will not restore justice, we will restore justice...God willing,” he added
