Father Athanasios Asak Henen; pastor of the Orthodox

church in Greece answers an article

of Mr. Fahmy Huweidy in el-Ahram in which he asked for the voice of the

church against the American

Copts’ claims that Copts in Egypt are subjected to persecution. The priest writes that

social problems, such

as high prices, hit both Muslims and Christians. "But it is strange to find that Mr. Huweidy

is trying to

convince us that the distresses Copts face are normal." The priest discusses the curriculum of the

public

schools and the mass media.
