Convert or die integration, eh??
Hmm, what a stupid comment.

How, exactly, does one change their ethnicity to Arab from Coptic if the two ethnicities don't intermarry?
They are Arab Egyptians. Like the ones that are found in Lebanon, Greece, America, etc.

So.. your logic dictates that because the Arabs conquered Egypt, all Coptics now have to lose their identity.
What a moronic statement.

Do you feel the same way since the European powers conquered the Turks and Arabs of the Ottoman Empire?
Again, what a moronic statement. The Turks and the Arabs did not leave their homes, did they? OTOH, the European Jews decided to invade and steal the land in the name of ethnicity which they lost centuries ago.

Seems like they use the same rationale that you're proposing for Egypt.
Huh, you are truly dumb today. You used that argument before and it did not work. Have you ever been to Egypt? Stick it in your head, the Coptics are Arabs. They are like any Arab Jews, Christians or Muslims, they are Arabs.
