Gadallah, a lawyer from Alexandria has submitted a report to the public
prosecutor, against the president of the court of appeal, the Grand
Imam of Al-Azhar Mosque, the interim Pope of Alexandria as well as
President Mohamed Morsy requesting the exclusion of Copts from the
committee in charge of forming Egypt's constitution, claiming that
Orthodox Copts are not representative of Egypt's Christian population,
because they are simply not "nassara", a substitute term employed by
Salafists to refer to people of Christian faith, this term has developed
pejorative connotations, being used by those who loathe Christians the
most; the use of which often justified by the fact that the term
"Christian" was never mentioned in the Quran.
