The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) warned against foreign interference to spark a sectarian sedition in Egypt while Muslim and Christian clerics agreed that dialogue is the best way now among Egyptians in order to overcome any sectarian calls.

Participants in a symposium, held by the armed forces on Thursday (June 23, 2011) under the slogan 15 Centuries of Amity and Fraternity, underlined the importance that the draft law on houses of worship will be passed in a way satisfactory to all Egyptians.

The participants also noted that the solution should envisage a clear organized administrative entity that would give the local authorities the right to grant licenses to build houses of worship.
