sprint, pender,

Perhaps they're making up for Lebanon, where the MANDATORY Christian led government has refused to permit a census since 1932, knowing full well that Muslims outnumbered Christians by this time?

At least Egypt has had a Christian leader, in Lebanon it's actually in legislation that the leader MUST be a Christian, even though the majority of the population is quite clearly Muslim.

Also sprint, it's quite amusing that you mention not being allowed to enrol at al-Azhar. It's an Islamic university, to train to be an "Islamic cleric" (Don't tell freediver I admitted they exist though) Grin

What a joke really. Anyway it has a secular campus now I think, and I'm pretty sure Christians study there, even if they didn't so what, it's an Islamic university, for studying Islam, isn't the whole point of the thread Christians don't wanna study Islam?

i have never said anything about lebanon, you stated that egypt was pro coptic, as they are clearly not.

personally i have no problem in a country being pro muslim if the majority of its population is muslim, as in egypt, it was you who got all defensive about it.

lol, and this is evidence of what exactly? My whole family also left Egypt, so what?

Most Egyptains are hanging to get out of the country, muslims and copts alike.

I think you'll find that per capita, copts are far better off in Egypt then muslims, they often hold higher positions of power, and are far better of socio-economically.

heeeeyyyyyyy what was personal?
Bloody hell the fact he has NO credibility is a FACT, not personal abuse.

Hmmm 90+% Muslim
3+% coptic

yeah I can see how they run the country.

Quote:

Coptic Christians, being the largest religious minority in Egypt, are also negatively affected. Copts have faced increasing marginalization after the 1952 coup d'état led by Gamal Abdel Nasser. Until recently, Christians were required to obtain presidential approval for even minor repairs in churches. Although the law was eased in 2005 by handing down the authority of approval to the governors, Copts continue to face many obstacles in building new churches. These obstacles are not as much in building mosques.

Ah and Cairo is known as "the city of a thousand minarets"... gee wonder who built them.
