Salafi and liberal revolutionary youths scuffled with one another near Tahrir Square on Friday, during a dozens-strong Islamist-led protest to demand the application of Sharia law.

The clashes occurred on adjoining Mohamed Mahmoud Street after liberal youths chanted against President Mohamed Morsy: “Oh Morsy, you spare tire, we will return you to prison” and “They said freedom, they said dignity, but all we have seen is remorse.” The chants angered Salafi youths, who attacked the liberals. Some sheikhs who were participating in the protest eventually intervened and broke up the clashes.

Salafi youths then returned to the square, chanting, “Bread, freedom, Islamic Sharia,” while opposing protesters chanted against them.

The Islamist protesters raised white flags reading, “There is no god but God; Mohamed is the messenger of God,” and raised banners that read, “Islamic Sharia is the main source of legislation and accepts no amendment or referendum” and ” An Islamic revolution to apply Sharia.”

The Islamist protesters rejected the current wording of Article 2 of the draft constitution. They also demanded that the constitution give Al-Azhar senior scholars the responsibility of interpreting Sharia.
