Muhammad al-Ghītī, author of the article, comments on the two incidents by salafists, saying that the salafists showed what they really are.

First, the speech of Shaykh Muhammad Husayn Ya'qūb, in which he spoke about the results of the yes-or-no referendum over constitutional amendments and termed it as "the ballot boxes invasion", and that whoever does not like Egypt [as an Islamic State] can go to America or Canada.

Second, the Coptic man whose ear was cut off by salafists in Qena, which was a barbaric act.
