Meeting between Pope and Supreme Guide postponed

A meeting scheduled for Tuesday between the Muslim Brotherhood Supreme Guide Mohamed Badie and Coptic Pope Shenouda III will be postponed, a church source said.
 
The meeting, which was delayed because Shenouda had other meetings, will take place in a few days, the source said. 
 
The postponement comes with news that Sherif Ramzy, the general coordinator of the Copts Without Restrictions movement, called on Badie to announce the Brotherhood's political objectives, especially in light of the group's decision to form the Freedom and Justice Party.
 
Ramzy stated categorical rejection of using religion as tool to serve political aims, as well as using religious slogans to counter those who call for a civil state.
