Photos showing a different image of Muslim-
Christian relations in Egypt from that
presented in most media
-   Electronic library on Muslim-Christian
    relations since 1997 – 28,000 articles and
    reports
-   Investigative reporting of hundreds of
    tensions – analyse patterns
-   Seeking peaceful solutions

Founded by:
-  Sawsan Gabra, Egyptian/Coptic Orthodox
-  Cornelis Hulsman, 35 years involved in
   sociological research and dialogue
Muslims and Christians in the revolution
Muslims solidarity with Christians
following an attack – what do they do?
Pray!
Muslim Brothers and sisters in Alexandria
demonstrating in support of Christians
following an attack on a church in March
2011
New Year 2012 – Muslims mourning the
attack on a church in Alexandria one year
earlier
March 18, 2012 – Muslims providing water
all day long to mourning Christians for the
death of Pope Shenouda
Qufada: Father Yo’annis (caring for the
poor) and Salafi sheikh Hamdi (chairing
reconcilliation meetings)
Example of church building after the
revolution - (mis) use the weakness of the
government. Tens of new churches have
been built
Egypt is a country full of problems

                   BUT

When you experience also this in Egypt can
you speak of persecution??

My answer: a firm NO!

But do Christians and Muslims in Egypt
need our help to overcome its current
difficulties??

My answer: a firm YES! But do this wisely!
Christian responses diverse:
-Optimism, army even rebuilds
destroyed churches, end of censorship
-Pessimism, fear for Islamists, mobs in
the streets




   Bishop Golta: be optimistic!!
   Support Egypt!!
What can we do in the West?

- Study, see relations are neither black nor white
- Do not blame Islam in general/ seek Muslim friends
- Listen to Egyptians experienced in dialogue:
       - i.e. Bishop Qulta: religion but not spirituality,
- Respect for Islam is NOT belief
- Encourage Egyptians




Possible projects:
- Publication on Muslim-Christian/Arab-West dialogue with Egyptian
   Muslim and Christian scholars participating
- Early Warning and Early Response system to encourage civilians to act in
   an early stage against developments that could lead to violence. Always
   in cooperation with Egyptian authorities
