Bahgat Saber (Egyptian Arabic: بهجت صابر, Egyptian Arabic pronunciation: [ˈbæħɡæt ˈsˤɑːbɪr]) is an Egyptian-born American social media personality, political activist, and pan-Islamist based in New York City. He is well known for his activism of the Muslim Brotherhood and his criticism of the Egyptian government, especially of president Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.
Bahgat Saber has been a subject of controversy due to his extremist views towards the Egyptian government. In a 2020 video, he is seen advocating for bioterrorism against Egyptian government officials using communicable diseases.[1] He has also made inflammatory remarks on Coptic priest Zakaria Botros and Egyptian-American analyst Magdi Khalil. In a video from 2021, he threatened physical violence against them for their criticism of Islam.
Bahgat Saber has also been criticised for his extreme use of profanity, which has resulted in the breakout of multiple street fights and even his arrest.[2]
