Salafis burn shrine in Monufiya

A group of Salafis have set fire to the Sidi Ezz Eddin shrine in the village of Tala in the Delta governorate of Monufiya, destroying it completely. Firefighters managed to extinguish the fire before it spread to an adjacent mosque.

In related news, Cairo University canceled a symposium of Salafi Sheikh Mohamed Hassan that was slated for Monday, anticipating clashes between Salafi and Muslim Brotherhood students.

Sheikh Mohamed Hassan said there was an exaggerated campaign against Islam in the various media.
