An armed Islamic movement calling itself the "Brigade of Muslims"
released a statement on Saturday threatening Egypt's Coptic Christians
and asking them to pay tribute.
"Egypt is an Islamic country and will be ruled according to Shariah,"
the statement added.
The movement threatened all Egyptian media professionals who "mock
religion and Islamic rule," adding that it has a special list of media
professionals and their persistence in mocking will result in the
"shedding of their blood in the ugliest way."
The movement explained that it has been established because of the
strife being plotted against the country and the plans of enemies of
Islam, both at home and abroad.
The movement accused Copts of trying to create a "separate Coptic
state," accused the National Salvation Front of involvement in the
burning of Egypt, and accused the so-called corrupt media of distorting
the image of Muslims and Islamic rule.
The movement noted its approach is jihad, and it would fight the
Egyptian army and Interior Ministry if they do not stand up to "Copts
and their helpers."
"Let the unbelievers and the hypocrites know we are as keen on dying
for the sake of God as they are keen on life," the movement confirmed.
