President Muhammad Mursī made a promise in his election campaigne to appoint Christian, woman and youth as vice-presidents. Well, he fullfilled his promise by appointing a Christian and a women, I am not sure about a youngman though! There is a joke circulating on social-networking websites, namely: facebook that says "a person asked Samīr Marqus [Copt appointed as one of the advisors of the president], what is your job at presidency? Marqus answered: a Christian!"

The joke implies that it is not known the powers given to Marqus or whether he is only at presidency to show that Mursī fullfiled his promise without any authorities.
