Copts condemn film depicting Prophet Mohammad

Copts strongly condemn the outrageous movie depicting Prophet Mohammad , (Peace and blessing be upon him ) and this production "does not reflect our stance towards Islam," the President of the European Union of the Coptic Organizations for Human Rights Medhat Kalada said on Friday. Kalada told KUNA at the Union's headquarters in Zurich the Copts involved in the production and distribution of the movie ridiculing the Prophet Mohammad(PBUH) did not reflect the Copts stance, adding that the movie was not wholly produced by Copts and it involved other individuals from other nationalities. The official said that Copts were eager to reflect their true stance but they feared they would be misunderstood by their fellow Muslim brothers, adding that the film should not lead to escalating violence between Muslims and Copts. Kalada called for efforts to bring Muslims and Copts together and stressed that it was for the sake of both faiths to look into things that brings them closer to each other.
