He told Youm7 such violence aims to manipulate Egypt's security, stressing these incidents don't reflect a state of sectarian sedition. He demanded the authorities to implement the law against those who destabilize Egypt, emphasizing all Egyptians are equal in front of the law. The Mufti demanded Egyptians to unify among one another to confront attempts to spread chaos and destabilize Egypt. He also demanded Egypt's ruling military council to take necessary measures to suspend these attempts and restore the state of stability and security.
