Robeir al-Faris commends increased attention to Coptic matters in the print media, and hopes visual media will follow. He also denounces media misreporting of the Zaytūn church bombing. Faris praises what he describes as the only writer who spoke out against those claiming that President Obama’s visit means that Egypt is regarded as an ’Islamic state’. The writer also reviews Pope Shenouda’s appearance on a popular television program, in which he attributed sectarian tensions in Egypt over the past three decades to religious extremism.
