Video: Egyptian Shaykhs Pronounce Death on Those Who Insult Muhammad

In a video I just translated, three Egyptian Shaykhs (Abu-Bakr al-Hanbali, Muhammad Hassan, and Abu-Ishaq al-Huwayni) pronounce the Islamic ruling on one who insults the Prophet:  he is an infidel, and must be killed. (To be fair, Muhammad Hassan in this video only says that he is an infidel.) Could this soon be the law of the land in Egypt?  Perhaps, if the Muslim Brotherhood is able to take power, whose motto declares, "Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. The Qur'an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope."
