Dr. Khālid Saʿīd, official Salafī front spokesman, said that is not permissible for Muslims to greet non-Muslims on their feasts, and demanded that President Muḥammad Mursī poll associations of leading academics from the Azhar on responding to the invitation to Easter Mass. Saʿīd emphasized that these greetings is a violation of Muslim doctrine. The Church has started to distribute invitations to Easter Mass to the presidency, political parties and public figures to participate in Easter Mass. Father Sergius Sergius, Deputy of the Patriarchate for Administrative Affairs, said that political parties, politicians and public figures want to participate and attend in Easter Mass (Rāmī Nawwār and Michael Fāris, al-Yawm al-Sābiʿ, Apr. 26, p. 1). Read original text in Arabic.
