Iran Joins Condemnation of Killing of Shiites in Egypt There are about 500,000 Shiites in Egypt and they face increasing sectarian discrimination, according to Mohamed Ghoneim, head of the Coalition of Egyptian Shiites. The country is the most populous in the Arab world with about 84 million people. The attack came several days after a number of Salafis, who embrace an ultraconservative interpretation of Islam, insulted Shiites during a rally attended by Mursi, who listened silently while preachers called on him not to allow Shiites to corrupt Egypt, with preacher Mohamed Abdel Maqsoud calling them “unclean.”
