European Union of Coptic Organizations for Human Rights EUCOHR has issued a statement in which it said that it had persuaded the European Parliament to support Egypt as much as possible, and to think about declaring the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization.

A cruel offensive has begun with the aim of sparking civil war and setting sectarian strife as well as avenging Copts. The attack was founded on looting, murder, and deforming bodies of the innocent. It is a strange and rare incident unknown to the Egyptian temperament. These are actions that cannot originate but from human beasts. They are satanic acts, falsely and slanderously disguised in the garments of a most tolerant religion. The Brotherhood is doing it now. They are burning Egypt, as their leaders have, fearlessly and unhesitatingly, said they would on television screen.
