Meanwhile, political activist George Ishaq on Tuesday (May 1) visited the al-Da’wah al-Salafīyah (Salafī Call) headquarters and met with its vice-president Dr. Yāsir al-Burhāmī.

Burhāmī said the meeting was positive as it tackled coexistence between Muslims and Christians for 14 centuries and that the Islamic sharī’ah guarantees safety for all Christians. Ishaq, for his part, called for assurances from Salafists to correct the public image about them. [Muhammad ‘Anaz, al-Ahrām, May 2, p. 6] Read original text in Arabic
