Hmm, any Coptic Christian is Egypt is an Arab and speaks Arabic Convert or die integration, eh?? How, exactly, does one change their ethnicity to Arab from Coptic if the two ethnicities don't intermarry? If anything, the Copts represent the TRUE Egyptians, and the Arabs are interlopers and conquerors. So.. your logic dictates that because the Arabs conquered Egypt, all Coptics now have to lose their identity. Do you feel the same way since the European powers conquered the Turks and Arabs of the Ottoman Empire? Seems like they use the same rationale that you're proposing for Egypt. Hawk
