According Coptic-American activist Adel Hanna, as reported by Ahram Canada, “Hundreds of followers of the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States tried to attack the main hall where Bishop Paul was giving his first lecture in the state of New Jersey on the new constitution [of Egypt]…. The Brotherhood smashed the main gate and destroyed the seats of the main hall, until the FBI intervened, taking them out of the place.”
