The November 23 article of Al-Musawwar, "Is the West still Dar Kufr," resulted four days later (November 28) in a campaign by the US Copts Association against the use of the word kuffar for Christians. The association claims that calling someone a ’kafir’ [’kafir’ is the singular of ’kufar’] is a call to violence and thus a public attack on Christianity. The author asked the opinions of Dr. Abdel Mo’ti Bayoumi, a prominent Muslim scholar, bishop Bissenti from Ma’asara and Helwan and bishop Marcos from Shubra al-Kheima.
