*Muslim Brotherhood Leader in Sudan Sheikh Sadeq Abdallah bin Al-Majed Prohibits Vaccination of Children, Calls Darfur Crisis a Conspiracy by Jews and Freemasons

"The West, and the Americans in Particular, Have Been Planning [Darfur] For Years"

Interviewer: "We are visiting you at a time when events in Darfur are casting a shadow on Sudan. I would like to ask you for your opinion about what is happening, and who is responsible for it."

[...]

Sheikh Sadeq Abdallah bin Al-Majed: "The West, and the Americans in particular, have been planning this for years."

Interviewer: "The West or the Americans?"

Sheikh Sadeq Abdallah bin Al-Majed: "The Americans in particular. The reason is that they studied this region extensively - the Darfur region in particular - and realized that it is full of treasures, the likes of which have never been found elsewhere in Sudan."

Interviewer: "So in your opinion, the Americans are behind what is happening in Darfur?"

Sheikh Sadeq Abdallah bin Al-Majed: "Yes. They are behind all the tragedies that are taking place in Darfur."

"I Would Not Accept [A Christian As Ruler of Sudan]"

Interviewer: "Would you accept a Christian as the ruler of Sudan, now that peace accords have been signed here?"

Sheikh Sadeq Abdallah bin Al-Majed: "I would not accept this."

Interviewer: "Even if he is elected by the people?"

Sheikh Sadeq Abdallah bin Al-Majed: "If he is elected by the people, and this becomes a reality, then that's it - this will be the reality. But if you ask for my opinion - no."

Interviewer: "Why not? What is the reason for this?"

Sheikh Sadeq Abdallah bin Al-Majed: "Islam does not permit a non-Muslim to rule over Muslims."

Vaccinations Are Freemason and Jewish Conspiracy

Interviewer: "You issued a fatwa prohibiting the vaccination of children, claiming it is a conspiracy of the Jews and Freemasons. Is this true?"

Sheikh Sadeq Abdallah bin Al-Majed: "This is 100% true."

Interviewer: "How come?"

Sheikh Sadeq Abdallah bin Al-Majed: "I followed this issue in several shocking articles, which failed to shock anyone in the government."

Interviewer: "But where did you get the information about a conspiracy?"

"[By Banning Vaccinations,] Thousands Of Children Were Saved from the Claws of the Jewish Movement, which is Represented by the [Freemasons]"

Sheikh Sadeq Abdallah bin Al-Majed: "I am following this issue, along with two or three brothers. We are following this issue globally through the Internet, through several media outlets, and through the ministry that carries out this procedure, which I consider to be a crime against the children."

Interviewer: "But how come? After all, there is medical supervision..."

Sheikh Sadeq Abdallah bin Al-Majed: "No, brother. They only claim that there is medical supervision. I wrote and challenged the Health Ministry to meet with me for a dialogue, in which I would provide the proof, and they would have to prove me wrong. But they refused. Allah be praised, the fact that I followed this issue bore fruit, and thousands of children were saved from the claws of the Jewish movement, which is represented by the whatchamacallit..."

Interviewer: "The Freemasons?"
