Egyptian Muslims confront sectarian tensions in Egypt
Published in Youm7 on 24 - 10 - 2011

An Egyptian citizen arrived from Luxor to the headquarters of Youm7 in Cairo carrying a portfolio with papers and documents proving Egyptians can confront attempts aiming to drive a wedge between Muslims and Christians.
Adly Hassan Boghdady, 59, arrived in Cairo to prove the cordial relations gathering together Muslims and Coptic Christians in his village, regardless of the crises, which will not prevent feelings of brotherhood and love among the citizens.
Boghdady is working to eliminate sectarian tensions aiming to destabilize Egypt. He believes all humans are equal. He donated 5,000 EGP (U.S. $837.5) to build a church in his village in Luxor, calling for Muslim youth of his village to help their partners in building the church.
The church responded to Boghdady's initiative cordially and so provided two tons of steel and a ton of cement to build a mosque in the village.
Boghdady hopes to provide the Coptic Christian leader, Pope Shenouda III, with one of his kidneys. He expressed his readiness to do so immediately.
He also expressed his respect to Egyptian businessman Naguib Sawiris describing him as sincere. He added he always defends Sawiris and demands Egyptians not to boycott Mobinil. He said Sawiris' investments benefited all Egyptians regardless of their religion.
He added there is no sedition among Coptic Christians and Muslims in Egypt, accusing the former and current political regimes of creating sectarian tension in Egypt since Sadat's decision to detain Pope Shenouda III in a monastery.
Boghdady demanded Islamic preacher Safwat Hegazy not to fuel tension among Egyptian citizens and to keep a state of stability in Egypt. He criticized Hegazy's aggressive tone, which could destabilize tension in Egypt in the current critical stage.
He called upon George Ishak to working and keep security and stability of Egypt. He demanded him not to adopt an aggressive tone that could spark sectarian tension.
He also sent a message to Priest Preacher, saying Coptic Christians are Muslim's main partners in Egypt. He demanded the preacher to suspend his sectarian calls that could cause destabilization.
Boghdady praised the performance of chairman of Egypt's ruling military council, Hussein Tantawi, and criticized those who undermine the role of Egypt's military troops by supporting demonstrations that impede the interests of the citizens.
He criticized the performance of Egypt's Prime Minister Essam Sharaf, who can not lead the government, especially during this current historic stage.
