Egypt protected Islam from extremism on 30 June: El-Sisi President's speech on the first anniversary of 30 June focuses on terrorism and Islam, as he insists Egypt will correct 'the religious discourse'
In a speech marking the first anniversary of the 30 June mass protests that put an end to the Muslim Brotherhood's rule, president Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi says that Egypt on that day protected the Arab region and Islam from a destructive plot. "History will [tell] that Egypt protected Arabism and preserved Islam against what was being plotted against Arab nations, the unity of its people and attempts to defame Islam by linking it to violence and terrorism," El-Sisi said on Monday, vowing to continue protecting Islam from extremists. El-Sisi added that the country is determined to "correct the religious discourse", in addition to passing the needed legislations to "deter anyone who thinks of threatening our nations". "Since that memorable day [30 June], black terrorism is still trying to stand against the will of Egyptians and their hopes, terrorism that has no religion or country, a villainous terrorism that doesn't hesitate in shedding the blood of children or those fasting," he added. On Monday, two police officers were killed and three others injured in a series of explosions near the presidential palace in Heliopolis. http://english.ahram.org.eg/News/105151.aspx
