Coptic Church rejects US commission Report

Emad Khalil 29/04/2011 The Coptic Orthodox Church in Egypt rejected the US Commission on International Religious Freedom’s (CIRF) annual report, which condemned Egypt’s lack of religious freedom. The church called on the Supreme Council of Armed Forces (SCAF) and the government to solve Copts’ problems internally without regard to the content of the American report. The report released Thursday accused Egypt of not protecting religious minorities or prosecuting crimes against them.
