Grand mufti: Morsy should address Copts’ fears

Al-Masry Al-Youm 27/06/2012 President-elect Mohamed Morsy should address the fears of his Coptic “brothers” and their problems on the ground, Grand Mufti Ali Gomaa said Wednesday. The mufti said Morsy alone would not be able to reform the country or address problems faced by average citizens, and that he needs nationwide support, according to statements published by Dar al-Ifta’s media center on its Facebook page. Gomaa called on all people and political groups to reach a consensus on the basics of “common, national, Egyptian civilization,” something he said was reached by political and community groups, institutions and the youth of last year’s uprising.
