Pope Shenouda and many Muslim religious men received a great number of inquiries and criticisms about the series of "Awan Al-Ward." Christians believe that the series presents the issue of the marriage between a Muslim man and a Christian woman as a matter that should be accepted by Christians out of love and national unity, ignoring that this is refused by the church law. They also object to the image of a Christian girl in the series who dressed in a western way, showing large parts of her body. Muslims oppose sexy clothes. Neither Muslims nor Christians like talking about a religion of love that surpasses the teachings of both Islam and Christianity.
