Egyptians Claim to Have Seen Archangel Gabriel & Prophet Muhammad at Protests -- Guess Who They 'Support'?

Egyptian protesters supporting ousted President Mohammed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood are claiming to have had divine sightings in support of their cause.

According to Al Arabiya, an Egyptian preacher gave a sermon that was broadcast on the nation's satellite channels in which he claimed the archangel Gabriel had been seen among the pro-Morsi crowds.

“Some good men in Madina Al-Munawara (in Saudi Arabia) told me of a vision in which Gabriel entered Rabia al-Adawiya’s mosque to keep people praying stationed in their positions," Sheikh Ahmad Abdel Hadi of the Muslim Brotherhood intoned.

In another wild "vision," people claimed to have seen the prophet Muhammad at the protests.  When they asked him to lead them in prayers, the prophet apparently said Morsi should be the one to do the honors.

Hadi also spoke of a "righteous man" who claimed to have seen "50 camels, youths, and children in a desert."

“After a while, the camels, youths and children got very thirsty. As they pleaded to God for help, the earth split and a stream appeared. The people drank and then they heard a voice saying: ‘Take care of President Mohamed Mursi’s camels,’” he related.

And the Agence France-Presse writes that a preacher claims to have seen General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi - a leader in the army who helped oust Morsi - covered in blood.

Here's partial video of the speech, grabbed by MRC-TV:

It should be noted that the claims are being regarded with skepticism and scorn even within the country.

Sheikh Shawki Abdel Latif called the alleged "visions" of seeing Gabriel and the prophet "poison in honey."

“Such statements attempt to exploit religion for political reasons and to grant legitimacy to ousted president Mursi,” he told Al Arabiya.
