Kuwait: Praying for a Free Egypt

This post is part of our special coverage of Egypt Protests 2011.

Like the rest of the world, Kuwaiti netizens are closely following the unfolding events in Egypt. Tweeps are lending their support to Egyptian protesters, in prayer and calls for an end of the Mubarak regime.

@MrMMM is not impressed with the preacher's reaction to the Egyptian protests at his local mosque. He reacts:

@MrMMM

The Friday Prayer preacher in AlOjairi Mosque in Qordoba just did a retweet of the Egyptian prime minister's speech

@maaldallal shares a link to a very touching prayer by Kuwaiti Humood Al Khuder:

And Kuwaiti Member of Parliament Dr Jumaan Al Herbesh tweets:

Others continue to pray:

May God save the people of Egypt and aid them in getting rid of their dictator

Mishary Buyabis, one of the raising stars of Twitter in Kuwait for his sarcastic comments on local issues, replied when asked of what he thought of the Egyptians continuing demonstration, saying:

@mbuyabis
@san3i المصريين أيقنوا أن التراجع الآن قد يكلفهم الكثير،،قرارهم بالاستمرار صائب
The Egyptians have realized that backing down now would cost them dearly, their decision to continue is sound

And Kasek Ya Watan concludes:

@KasekYaWatan
اجمل صوره رأيتها هو حماية المسيحيين للمصلين المسلمين .. هذا هو معنى الوحده الوطنيه
The best image I saw was the one where Christians were protecting Muslims as they prayed – that is the meaning of national unity
