The political wing of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood denied that their members were attacking churches after scores of the buildings were reportedly burned down in the violence sweeping the country.

Dr Morad Ali, a spokesman for the Freedom and Justice Party, said on Friday that internet pages featuring the party‘s logo that justified the assaults were fakes designed to incite sectarian violence.

Neither the islamist pro-Morsi supporters nor the Eyptian military are backing down, as armored vehicles roll through the war-torn streets of Cairo and protesters call for millions to stand against the military. NBC‘s Richard Engel reports.

“(The party) stand firmly against any attack — even verbal — against churches,” he said in a statement. “Our revolution is peaceful.”
