Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak vowed to the nation yesterday that he would never permit anyone to infringe the red line of Egypt's security and stability and said Egypt will always remain a stable and safe country for all Egyptians.

Speaking after a week for several bombings in two Egyptian areas, he said "I clearly say that Egypt's security and stability represent a red line that I will not permit anyone to ever transgress." Mubarak added in an address on the occasion of May Day that "I have sworn before God and the nation to protect Egypt's national security and the security of it citizens."

"We will win our battle against terror, we will combat it and will root it out, we will deal very firmly -through the power of the law - with extremism, he said.

"Egypt will always remain a stable and secure nation for al Egyptians," he said. Egypt is facing many challenges and dangers that threaten national and regional security, he said, citing the forces of blind terror, extremism and fanaticism.

These forces are trying to drive a wedge between Muslims and Christians in Egypt and tear apart Egyptian society, he said.

The dissemination of alien ideas among the country's youth. Such ideas that have nothing to do with the tolerance of religion they only aim at igniting the fire of strife and shaking the country's stability, he added.

Stability is the nations' mutual goal, it is a goal the rises above all forms of competition, narrow partisan interest or any differences within the society, he said. "We live in a turbulent area, rife with crises facing m any challenges," the president added.

On Middle East peace, he said Egypt was doing its utmost to unite the Palestinians to speak in one voice and was exerting strenuous efforts with Israel to deal seriously with the Palestinians in the occupied lands to recognize their just cause and respond to calls for peace, he added.
