Father Makari Younan stands trial on charges of contempt of Islam

The first trial session of Father Makri Younan will be held on September 23 after he has been accused of contempt of Islam in his reply to accusations of Sheikh Salem Abdul Jalil in which he described Christianity as corrupted doctrine and Christians as infidels.

Coptic well-known priest Makari Yunan may face trial soon after the Salafist preacher, Sameh Abdul Hamid, accused him of insulting Islam in his statement that Islam was spread by the sword.
