On another level, the MPs denounced what they called ‘the criminal attack on the Qidissen Church in Alexandria, Egypt, saying that no religion sanctions the killing of innocents, let alone in a place of worship. They expressed concern with the apparent attempts to destabilize Egypt by sowing the seeds of religious discord.
