Egypt: Muslim Brotherhood Pledge to Help Protect Churches During Christmas Celebrations
Just as a quick reminder the Egyptian Christian Copts will not be celebrating Christmas unti the 7th Jan and it was on that same night last year, that a drive-by gunman blew away 6 Copts leaving the midnight Mass service.
The Muslim Brotherhood (MB) said in its Wednesday statement that it will send a high-profile delegation led by Dr. Mahmoud Ezzat, Vice Chairman of the MB, to convey their wishes and greetings to the Christians for Christmas in the New Year.
Moreover, MB called on SCAF and Police to protect the churches just as it had protected the polling stations during the elections. “We are prepared to cooperate with the authorities and form a neighbourhood watch and popular committee from the MB members to help protect the churches”, the statement read.

Is this the Muslim Brotherhood coming of age – or has Qtub always called for moderation?
