Thousands have rallied in Cairo to show support for Egypt's President Mohammed
Morsi, who has been locked in a deep dispute with the largely secular
opposition.
Protesters packed a square outside Cairo University on Friday, chanting slogans
backing Morsi and denouncing the recent violence allegedly carried out by
opposition supporters against state institutions.
"The president who came to power through the ballot box cannot be brought down
by petrol bombs and attacks on public and private buildings," Mohammed
al-Sagheer, an Muslim cleric, told the rally.
Participants raised banners that read: "No to subversion"; "Those who love
Egypt should not ruin it."
The rally was the first by Morsi's allies since massive protests erupted
against his policies in late January, marking the second anniversary of an
uprising against former President Hosni Mubarak.
Rival rallies
The opposition accuses Morsi, Egypt's first democratically-elected president,
of tightening his Muslim Brotherhood group's hold on power and behaving like a
dictator.
The Muslim Brotherhood said its participation in Friday's rally was "symbolic"
to avoid possible clashes with Morsi's opponents.
Some 60 people have been killed in clashes between anti-government protesters
and security forces across Egypt in the past three weeks, according to official
figures.
Meanwhile, hundreds of demonstrators gathered on Friday outside the
presidential palace in Cairo to protest what they call Morsi's failure to
fulfill the objectives of the revolution that brought him to power.
The main opposition National Salvation Front announced it was staying away from
Friday's protest after it was accused of inciting street violence.
The bloc, led by Nobel peace laureate Mohammed ElBaradei, has rejected a recent
call by Morsi for dialogue, saying it lacks seriousness and a clear agenda.
