Why Coptic Christians Are In Greater Danger Than Egyptian Jews

     Egypt is one of a number of Muslim majority nations that ethnically cleansed themselves of their Jewish populations. Most of the Egyptian Jews and their descendants now live in Israel. Even though there is a formal peace agreement between Egypt and Israel, cancerous hatred for Jews continues in Egypt and in much of the Islamic world.
      The minority population of Coptic Christians living in Egypt are in great danger from Islamists. Islamists have not hesitated to murder Coptic Christians in their places of prayer and elsewhere. Islamists have no reservations about murdering civilians.
        Long before Islam came to Egypt, there were Coptic Christians, Jews and other religions. The Jews were driven out after Israel became a state. This was yet another ethnic cleansing of Jews from Muslim majority lands that is completely ignored. Now that these Jews and their descendants are out of Egypt and in the state of Israel, the desire and effort to murder them has not lessened.
       Coptic Christians want to live in peace and safety in their country of Egypt. Egyptian Jews no longer live in Egypt after being driven out. The sad truth is that far too often religious minorities living in Muslim majority lands are in great danger. Egypt must do everything it can to protect this ancient religious minority.
