No, because... Mosque closed due to Obama’s visit
Obama’s visit has caused the Egyptian security services to cordon off one of Egypt’s oldest Mosques to prepare for the visit. This has sparked outrage among the main opposition movement the Muslim Brotherhood. They have complained to the parliament about the Grand Inam, Minister of the Interior and the prime minister about the closure. "This (restricting faithful from praying at mosque) is impermissible in Shariah," said brotherhood member Muhsen Radi. "Egypt's security service has cordoned the whole area around the mosque and has told businesses nearby to close on Wednesday and Thursday." The Mosque itself denied that Muslims would not be allowed to pray at the mosque despite the security forces cordon.[1] this cant help with encouraging the arab people that obama is different from previous administrations and that there is a new start.
