The goal of the campaign is to collect LE1 billion that would be used to create a satellite channel and publishing house to disseminate information about the Prophet Mohamed and defend him from insults. Abdel Maged said he is also considering establishing a film production company abroad as part of the campaign
"The billion pounds will also be used to support the Syrian people by sending medical convoys and food … [and] a portion will be allocated to the Syrian families in Egypt," Abdel Maged told Al-Masry Al-Youm.
The movement has already sent a number of medical convoys to Syria, he claimed.
"The campaign was launched in a several governorates with public presentations about the Prophet Mohamed that were held within the framework of events organized by Jama’a al-Islamiya to defend the Prophet," Abdel Maged added.
"Many young people from both liberal and Islamic parties joined the movement, including members of the recently established Constitution Party," he claimed.
