Emad Khalil 04/12/2011 Christians do not fear the rise of Islamists in Egypt — what scares them instead are electoral tactics that go against religious teachings that are used by so-called religious people, said Father Rady Attallah Iskander of the Anglican Church of Alexandria. Iskander told Al-Masry Al-Youm that most Islamists winning seats in the parliamentary elections, such as Muslim Brothers and Salafis, do not believe in democracy and the devolution of power, such as Salafi Sheikh Abdel Moneim al-Shahat, who has said that leaders of Islamic countries should remain in their positions for life.
