Bishop Wissa spoke about al-Kosheh in Montreal, Canada, where he claimed that Copts had died for their faith while no such claims were made by eye-witnesses or in reports of the prosecution.  This is inciting language. The Bishop also claimed to have the right to be politically active and took the initiative to report al-Kosheh abroad. Ahmad Hashim asked Coptic intellectual Kamal Zakher Mousa for feedback. "Men of religion should stay away from politics…the important thing is that internal channels of dialogue should increase so that there would be no reasons to have our problems solved outside the borders of our homeland," he says. Kamal Zakher Mousa is known to be thinking in line of Fr. Matta al-Meskeen where it comes to church and politics.
