Rev. Andrea Zakī, deputy head of the Coptic Evangelical Church, said that Egypt is heading towards a dangerous point because of mixing religion with politics and state, followed by the underlying problem of misinterpretation of religious texts.  Dr. Muhammad 'Abd al-Rāziq 'Umar, the undersecretary of the Ministry of Endowments (Awqāf or Awkaf) also mentioned that political parties that work for their own interests will fall rapidly, whereas parties that work in the country's interest will find support (Sābir al-'Arabī, al-Tahrīr, May 6, p. 7). Read original text in Arabic.
