The new, democratic Egypt looks very much like the old, undemocratic Egypt. Where are our cheering crowds now?

And just wait till the Muslim Brotherhood gets real power. Life is not going to be fun for the Coptic minority.

If women (and men) will never change their nature, it sounds as if the Copts should perhaps give ground on their divorce laws, but only in such a way as to maintain harmony with Islam.

Look closer. It is not the Copts or the few remaining Jews who are burning down mosques in Cairo. This is not an equal opportunity game.

After all, nothing is more important then maintaining harmony with Islam. Hey, maybe everyone should convert to Islam, that would improve harmony right?

Well yes, that is the only way to achieve harmony with islam. Oops, except you still have to decide if you are going to be Sunni or Shia. They regard each other as heretics, so not quite perfect harmony yet...

Same old same old. Islam gets along with no-one when it has majority rule and goes about its steady oppression of other beliefs. Its amazing that the copts and non-Islamic believers/athiests are still there although many are most likely hidden to avoid prosecution.
