Al-Masry Al-Youm reported that other members of Al-Azhar were against meeting with the American delegation, again citing foreign meddling in domestic affairs.

Margaret White, US embassy spokesperson, had told Daily News Egypt last Sunday that three commissioners from the US Commission on International Religious Freedom, an independent body whose members are appointed by the US Congress and President, are currently visiting Egypt.

“They are here on a routine fact-finding visit in advance of their annual report,” she said.  “This trip has been planned for some time and is not related to any specific event.”
