Coptic Church Patriarch, Pope Shnouda III warned Saturday of "certain parties wanting to stir seditions and harm Egypt's national unity." The Coptic official denied in statement issued today insulting Islam or the Holy Quran accusing the two newspapers which had published relevant news reports of "inciting commotions." The statement said a play, which was deemed offensive to Islam, "had been showed two years back for one day only and was not viewed by a single Moslem." Shnouda said the play tackled extremism, and hoped the recent riots would not have links to the upcoming parliamentary election.On the other side, Grand Imam of the Moslems' Al-Azhar Mosque, Dr. Muhammad Sayed Tantawi, said national unity between Egypt's Moslems and Copts was too strong to be shaken by such incidents. He said Egypt's judiciary would consider the issue. Thousands of Moslims rioted outside a Coptic Christian church in coastal city of Alexandria yesterday to denounce the play, prompting police to beat protesters and fire tear gas into the crowds.
