Selim said that relations between Copts and Muslims have been declining since 2003 and the Wafā’ Constantine issue (who he claims is a Muslim despite whatever Bishop Bīshūy says). He said that the only logical reason for Copts to store weapons, which he claims are shipped in from Israel, is to use against Muslims in the war that Bishop Bīshūy hinted at when he said they would be willing to martyr themselves if anyone ever tried to conquest the church.
