Hazim Abu Ismail, an important figure among Egypt’s Islamists, who bridged between the Muslim Brotherhood and the Salafis — and who was even a former 2012 presidential candidate, before being disqualified — has been arrested. Preliminary reports indicate that he was arrested in connection to inciting violence against protesters. As news was announced that the anti-freedom, Sharia-pushing sheikh had been arrested, Egyptian protesters in front of the presidential palace celebrated by shooting fireworks and chanting “Still more! Still more!” — a reference to other Islamist leaders, namely of the Muslim Brotherhood, that many Egyptian protesters hope to hear are soon returned to their prison cells.
