According to the Egypt Independent, Rasha Magdi made the comment when reporting on last Friday’s terror attack on a mosque that killed more than 300 people and injured more than 100 others.
The national paper reported that Magdi went off-script during her show and said: “We saw attacks by terrorists on the police and army, and we said this is mutual violence.
“These extremist groups have attacked churches and we said that they think it is a [different] religion, not Islam, and it is hostile to them, and then we said it is okay, but how [can these groups attack] Muslims?”
Mohamed Abu al-Enein, owner of Sada al-Balad Media Group, suspended Magdi after an internal investigation into what were deemed inappropriate comments.
He said in a statement: “We in Egypt are one people, there is no difference between a Muslim and a Christian.
“All of us are equal. We live together in safety…terrorism and aggression against the [people] are criminal acts.”
It’s been reported that Magdi has been involved in several legal cases after being accused of inciting hatred against Egyptian Coptic Christians while working for the state television network.
In April 2017, 45 people were killed in two suicide attacks at churches on Palm Sunday.
