Impressed and interested in the history of different religions in Egypt, the country where Prophet Moses was born and grown up, also the Holy Family when they traveled to find shelter as refugees. In 2005, Enan Galaly supported the highlighting of such historical matter.
Galaly himself who suffered as a foreigner, stated “the entire planet ought to know this fact, that by finding such protection, safety and respect in Egypt, the Holy Family continued their sacred message to the nations. As most of the Western World population believes in the Holy Family, I hope by this word, they will treat the refugees who left their countries fairly, generously and without discrimination and to remember how the Egyptians cared warmly about the Holy Family as refugees”.
“I became a citizen of another country, but being of an Egyptian origin, I am proud of my origin like everybody should be”.
“ I came from Egypt, the country which is the center of different civilizations, with unique geographical location , has large natural resources and labor power who need jobs because they suffer from poverty.
Denmark, that I lived in and have full respect for, has opposite circumstances, a country without natural resources but its people have the highest living standard in the world, only developed by human resources development.
