Al-Jamā'ah al-Islāmīyah said that the regrettable incidents in Dahshūr did not amount to a sectarian fitnah but were rather extension of an individual problem between two persons that had no religious dimension.

The Jamā'ah, in a statement, said that it is not acceptable at all from a Muslim perspective to assault Christian people or their property just because the assailant in this individual brawl was Christian. [Ahmad al-Dusūqī, al-Akhbār, Aug. 5, p. 4] Read original text in Arabic
