Muftī of the Republic Dr. ‘Alī Jum’ah termed as “loss for Egypt” calls for civil disobedience on February 11, adding all Egyptians have to do their duty and avoid disrupting citizens’ interests and tampering with the potentials of this nation.

“Egypt is going through a decisive moment of its history drawing up the nation’s future map but every now and then emerge incidents of chaos, intimidation, looting and murder, which are all alien to the Egyptian people’s morals and moderate faith,” said Shaykh Jum’ah.

Coptic Orthodox Pope Shenouda III, during his weekly sermon on Wednesday (February 8) at the Saint Mark Cathedral in the Cairo district of al-‘Abbāssīyah, rejected strike calls, adding civil disobedience is not acceptable by religion or the state.
