The Muslim Brotherhood on Saturday blamed secularists for their failure to implement an agreement to unify political forces' rhetoric during the protest in Cairo's Tahrir Square last Friday, 29 July.
About 30 political parties, movements and coalitions had agreed on Wednesday to unify demands and exclude controversial slogans.
In a statement, the Brotherhood stressed that they were committed to the agreement, but then secularists began to ridicule some Islamists. In response, the Islamists began to raise slogans demanding the establishment of an Islamic state, and chanted against the postponement of parliamentary elections.
The statement also said that one reason behind Islamists' aggressive behavior was their having been politically repressed for over 30 years.
The Brotherhood believes Egypt's identity is fundamentally Islamic, a fact that does not need to be proven, the statement said. It claimed that the principles of Sharia are nearly unanimously agreed upon by all forces and sects in Egypt.
