Egyptian Endowments Minister Mahmūd Hamdī Zaqzūq call for forgiveness and tolerance, qualities that he says already exist in Islam. Zaqzūq provides examples from the Qur'ān that encourage and document tolerance between Christians and Muslims.

He adds that God created people with different colors, gender, and language. Therefore, it is not appropriate to make this a reason for clashes. Rather, he says that diversity should be a motivation for acquaintance and cooperation between everyone.
