Article summary: 

A controversy between a religious view versus a secular view in dealing with citizens.  In a TV program on air, a controversy takes place between Dr. Su'ād Sālih, professor of comparative fiqh, and Salāh Sulaymān, a leader in al-Wafd party.

While Dr. Sālih classifies people according to their religious belonging and confesses their rights only through their religion, Sulaymān rejects the idea and stresses the principle of citizenship.
