Saad Eddin Ibrahim was accused by public opinion long before the investigation authorities. The accusations were started by the press, not by the court. The opinion of the press, expressing that of the public, was formed when he surprised everybody with the idea of holding a conference on minorities in Egypt. Earlier, in an article entitled "In search of the Arab nation," Dr. Ali Mokhtar attacked Ibrahim’s article called "minorities in the Arab World." Although, he faces general rejection, from different groups, parties, and entities, he chose not to attack all parties, but to concentrate on the press.
