The Copts of America announced their solidarity with Father Makary Younan who has been accused of contempt of Islam in his reply to accusations of Sheikh Salem Abdul Jalil in which he described Christianity as corrupted doctrine and Christens as infidels.
Coptic well-known priest Makari Yunan may face trial soon after the Salafist preacher, Sameh Abdul Hamid, accused him of insulting Islam in his statement that Islam was spread by the sword.
Statement was issued by the Copts of America to denounce the use of law to incite sectarian strife and to target Christians instead of preventing Muslim Sheikhs from insulting Christians and Christianity.
