MOHAMED-MOUFTAH

"During the revolution I still did the call to prayer every day but I also recited the Takbir ('Allah akbar'€), which is usually reserved for Ramadan to give strength to those who are fasting. By reciting this I hoped to spur on the fighters and convey our support.  I specifically remember March 19th 2011, the day of the French intervention in Benghazi. As we gathered together in the mosque we heard Gaddafi's tanks pass by just a few meters away. I'€™ll remember that day'€™s prayers for a long time."
