Dr. Shawqi Allam - Mufti of the Republic, Head of the General Secretariat of Fatwa Houses and Bodies in the World - expressed his sincere condolences to the Egyptian Church and the families of the three victims, members of the Egyptian Church, who died today in a tragic criminal incident in the Monastery of St. Mark and Anba Samuel, in South Africa, and indicated a way He killed them for treason, crime and despicableness.
His Eminence the Mufti said in his statement - today, Wednesday - that the three monks were performing their work with complete honesty and sincerity, but the hand of crime, terrorism and bloodletting continues to extend across countries of the world to shed blood and tamper with innocent lives, without scruples of religion or conscience.
