Al-Jazeera anchor: Egypt burnt activists alive before ISIS did

Al-Jazeera satellite channel anchor Mahmoud Murad said he couldn't stand the international communities' hypocrisy

The Al-Jazeera satellite channel anchor Mahmoud Murad called on those who act as human rights guardians to stop their hypocrisy reminding them that the Egyptian authorities burnt activists alive during the 2013 coup before the Islamic State (ISIS) did it.

Murad's remarks came in response to the wave of condemnation which resulted from ISIS's burning of Jordanian pilot, Mu'ath Al-Kaseasbeh alive.

Murad wrote on Facebook: "It happened in Egypt before ISIS did it!"

"For everyone whose feelings were hurt by these pictures, I apologise. But my little heart can no longer bear this vast amount of hypocrisy," he said.
