Friday preachers from different Cairo mosques focused yesterday on the events of fitnah of 'Ātfīh which Egypt's been witnessing lately. The preachers stressed the duty to protect Christians and their worship places as directed by Islamic sharī'ah.

In al-Rushdān mosque in Nasr City, Dr. ‘Alī Jum‘ah, grand Muftī of Egypt, assured that attacking churches places is completely against Islam for it is equal to attacking a mosque.
