Line passing through a point and parallel to another: Where am I wrong?

draw[thick](A)--(B)--(C)--cycle;
draw[thick](B) circle [radius=3cm];
draw[thick](D)--(E) (M)--(B);

% From a point draw a parallel line by calculating the vector
coordinate (P) at (intersection cs:first line={(B)--(C)}, second line={(A) -- +($(E)-(D)$)});

% Here is my problem:
coordinate (N) at (intersection cs:first line={(B)--(M)}, second line={(C) -- +($(D)-(E)$)});

draw[thick, red] (A)--(P) (C)--(N);

end{tikzpicture}
end{document}


Question: The second drawn line, which is supposed to also be a parallel, is not. What am I doing wrong?
