Nadya Henry, member of the Shura Council, told Copts United that Pope Tawadros II said during his meeting with members of the Shura Council that attacking the Great Cathedral of St. Mark is but a serious insult for Islam and the majority of moderate Muslims in Egypt.
He wondered: How come Ministry of Interiors attack the Cathedral along with the thugs using tear gas, then accuses the Copts of being responsible for the attack?
Having great sympathy for the Copts is not enough. We need some actions, Pope added.
