Mahrūs talks about an article by ‘Abd al-Nāsir Salāmah in al-Ahrām that he says is based on reports by extremist websites known for their negative attitudes towards Copts.

He says that the report created a crisis, causing the newspaper to apologize and publish a large number of articles responding to Salāmah’s. He then says that, despite disagreeing with Salāmah, he thanks him for bringing up an important subject that should be discussed.

Despite the “Coptic file” going through a bad year, he says, there is nothing being done to make it better. He thus predicts 2011 will be an even worse year.
