AFP - Tens of thousands of Egyptian Islamists gathered for a show of strength in Cairo on Friday ahead of planned opposition protests against President Mohamed Morsi, highlighting the tense political divide in the Arab world's most populous state.

Islamists carrying Egyptian flags and portraits of the president, flooded into the large square outside the Rabaa al-Adawiya mosque in the Nasr City neighbourhood and into the surrounding avenues.

Islamist groups led by the powerful Muslim Brotherhood from which Morsi hails, had called for the rally ahead of planned June 30 protest by those who claim Morsi has abused his powers. Morsi spoke before his crowd of supporters and claimed that President Obama has promised military support against the opposition if they try and topple his government. Many Egyptian Christians which make up less than 10% of the population have fled Egypt under pressure of the Muslim Brotherhood and Morsi's Government.
