Dr. Sa'd al-Dīn Ibrāhīm, a professor of political sociology and president of Ibn Khaldūn center for development studies, said in an interview with al-Sharq al-Awsat that Copts had legitimate fears from religious movements and hard-line Muslim preachers have to put their fears in consideration.
He added that the Muslim Brotherhood will win 30-40 percent of votes in the coming elections because they are the most organized and wealthiest.
He wishes that salafī movements disappear from the scene because their practices are undermining Islam itself.
