Dr. Salāh al-Sirwī writes that the violent incidents in Imbābah came to record the worst violent sectarian act in Egypt since the revolution.

He writes that international and regional powers are trying to foil the Egyptian revolution, fearing that Egypt will impose its sovereignty on the region.

First by releasing a great deal of thugs from prisons, to cause a security breakdown in the country. Then, countries such as Saudi Arabia plant fanatic ideologies in salafists.

Fitnah is then initiated by a stable idea that a Christian women converted to Islam and married a Muslim, after which the church detained her, which gives a chance for fitnah.
