At the end of another day of clashes, a very tough statement was issued, published on the website of Pope Tawadros, head of the largest Egyptian Christian faith. The text leaves no margin for dialogue with the Muslim Brotherhood. The Coptic Orthodox Church states that it is on "the side of Egyptian law, of the armed forces and of all the Egyptian civil institutions when it comes to confronting violent armed organisations and ambiguous forces for wrongdoing, either within the country or abroad". He encourages listeners to look beyond the squares where the Muslim Brotherhood have been holding sit-ins, to look further in order to gain a general overview of what has been occurring for weeks in the country. "The attacks on government buildings and peaceful churches are terrorising everyone, whether they be Copts or Muslims. These actions go against any religion, any moral code and any sense of humanity", reads the text released by the Coptic Pope Tawadros.
