In his speech delivered at the ‘Love and Peace’ ceremony, al-Azhar professor of comparative jurisprudence, Dr. Shaykh Aḥmad Karīma, stressed that Egypt is the homeland for all its citizens, Muslims and Christians.

Karīma reiterated that Egypt has long neglected the Coptic era in its school educational program, while the focus is on the Pharaonic and the Islamic eras. He called on the educational entities to realize this mistake and make the necessary adjustment to correct this neglect.
