Karim Saleh - Amir El Salam Egypt's Pope Shenouda



Egypt's Christian population upward of 8 millions have their own Pope. He has just passed away after a long reign over the Church. Pope Shenouda left his footprint on all things Egypt for over 4 decades. He has always called for unity within the Church and withing Egypt. He was no radical, he has always put Egypt first.

I have noticed his stands and his statements, he was one of Egypt's few voices of reason even when the whole country was in crisis. This I believe a first song to be dedicated to him since his passing. Karim Saleh voiced it and boy does he sound like he is hurt!

Pope Shenouda was so well liked among people in Egypt--both Christians and Muslims adored him. that pissed off some radicals on both faiths. Christian extremists hated his peaceful nature. Salafis hated his gut, and have said pretty mean things about him.
