This is tragic and sad.

Condemnation and condolences flowed out from across the Middle East, including Egypt Muslim Institutions and Civil leaders, Jordan's Parliament, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Morrocco, Syria, PLO, Hamas, Hezbollah..

The Sheikh of Al-Azhar, Dr. Muhammad Al-Tayyeb, condemned the attack, rejecting the possibility that Egyptians may have been involved and saying that Islam enjoined the Muslims to protect churches no less than mosques."

Saudi Arabia strongly "condemns this criminal act which neither our religion nor international norms and ethics approve of," said a foreign ministry official on state news agency SPA. It described the attack as "terrorist".

The head of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference, Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, "condemned in the strongest terms the criminal and terrorist act".
He urged Egyptians "to disassociate themselves from attempts to instigate sedition or spread division among the people which some want to implant among them".

In Damascus an official said, "Syria strongly denounces this terrorist crime, which is targeting the national unity and religious pluralism of Egypt and other Arab countries."

The Islamist Palestinian movement Hamas also condemned the attack, saying it was "certain it was the work of elements acting against the interests of Egypt and looking to promote confrontation between Muslims and Christians".

A top Shiite Muslim leader in Lebanon, Sheikh Abdel Amir Kabalan, denounced the attack as a "terrorist act aimed at sowing chaos and fear in Egypt".
"This terrorist act bears the fingerprints of Zionists who keep on targeting religious sights and are working to ... sow discord between Muslims and Christians," Kabalan said in a statement.

King Mohammed VI of Morocco said in a letter to Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak the attack was a "crime against all of humanity" which "is banned by the values of Islam".
"This abject criminal act is contrary to the peaceful nature of the Egyptian people and the history of one of the oldest civilisations with its true traditions of tolerance and cohabitation between religions and cultures." The MEMRI Blog - Full Blog Entry
