Islamic chants, slogans, and uniforms dominated the demonstration in Tahrir Square, as Islamists demanded the implementation Islamic Sharia in Egypt and the creation of a new Islamic State. They also demanded the cleansing of certain state institutions of former regime officials. In Alexandria, where Salafis dominated al-Qaed Ibrahim Square, similar chants erupted. The Salafis designated special places for women wearing the niqab (a face covering) to participate in the demonstrations. The demonstration urges the drafting of a timetable to meet the demands of the January 25 Revolution, like setting a minimum and maximum wage, and the cleansing of state institutions of the remnants of the now-dissolved National Democratic Party (NDP), said Osama Yassin, member of the coordinating committee of the revolution. "We don't want promises or an immediate fulfillment of the demands, but we want a timetable to execute the demands," said Yassin. The people refuse the stifling of their will by anyone, he added. The Front of the Public Will, a coalition of Islamic powers, confirmed seven demands – accepted by all political powers – to unify Egyptian movements and confront the real enemy: the former regime. The seven demands are: 1) Provide the government with the full authority to take serious measures and remove financial and administrative corruption. 2) Accelerate the trials of the former President Hosni Mubarak, the other accused figures in his regime, those involved in the killing of demonstrators and investigation into the sniping case. 3) Create a timetable for parliamentary and presidential elections, and determine the authorities of the ruling military council. 4) Reject autonomous decision-making by the ruling military council without consultations with different political powers. 5) Pay the compensation to both those injured in the revolution and the families of martyrs. 6) Suspend the prosecution of civilians in front of military tribunals. 7) Imprison officers accused of killing revolution demonstrators. The “We Are All Khaled Said” Facebook page today demanded that the media use the moderate political voices as a model by which the transitional period is followed. Members of the Coptic Christian Church held a mass in Tahrir Square to confirm that Muslims and Christians are united in one hand in the pursuit of revolution demands. “Egypt will not be silent until all demands are met,” a protestor said, while stressing the need for the removal of figures from the former regime. Al-Hekma raised only one demand: the implementation of Islamic Sharia. Egypt's Ministry of Health prepared for the demonstrations by dispatching 40 ambulances and establishing eight clinics, all of which have the required resources to service the demonstrations.
