Wikipedia puts Egypts population around 100 million, and there are roughly 15 to 20 million christians in Egypt, mostly Coptic.

2018-12-04 02:13:52 UTC  

Although apparently there are no religious census in Egypt

2018-12-04 02:14:00 UTC  

Which is about like 15-20%

2018-12-04 02:14:11 UTC  

@Dvir that’s suspicious

2018-12-04 02:14:53 UTC  

I kind of always find countries that decide to not list their ethnicities statistics very questionable; like why would you not?

2018-12-04 02:15:12 UTC  

Old study though, 2012

2018-12-04 02:15:12 UTC  

Well shit

2018-12-04 02:15:16 UTC  

True

2018-12-04 02:15:34 UTC  

But that was only 6 years ago

2018-12-04 02:16:01 UTC  

for what it's worth

@Dvir I don’t know if I’d necessarily trust the Coptic bishop

2018-12-04 02:16:41 UTC  

I trust him more than the government

2018-12-04 02:16:44 UTC  

But still

2018-12-04 02:16:51 UTC  

I wouldn't either

2018-12-04 02:17:04 UTC  

I wouldn't trust any new church built in Egypt to stand up for long either

2018-12-04 02:17:20 UTC  

Egypt’s better than most middle eastern countries TBF

2018-12-04 02:17:41 UTC  

They even kicked out their own President when he was of the Muslim brotherhood

2018-12-04 02:17:42 UTC  

Israel still the safest country in the Middle East for Christians

2018-12-04 02:18:01 UTC  

Christians are joining the IDF in rapidly increasing numbers

2018-12-04 02:18:29 UTC  

Same with other reasonable religious denominations like the Druze

2018-12-04 02:18:46 UTC  

It’s funny; there were these guys who were “totally not anti-Semites” who said Isreal would fall in the next coming decades

2018-12-04 02:19:29 UTC  

Which I find unlikely, as; Egypt is an Isreali ally, as is Jordan, and Syria won’t be in shape to contest the Golan heights for decades

2018-12-04 02:20:08 UTC  

Israel was able to stomp all rivaling countries in six days, and if needed can mobilize a large chunk of its population.

2018-12-04 02:21:10 UTC  

What do you think about all the stuff over Isreal and Palestine; I have a isreali friend so I think I might be biased towards the Israelites but I’ve heard from other sources that there have been egregious crimes against the Palestinian population from Isreal

2018-12-04 02:21:41 UTC  

And I don’t want to discount the accounts of Palestinian people

2018-12-04 02:23:15 UTC  

Nihilism is cancer.

2018-12-04 02:23:43 UTC  

Lel

2018-12-04 02:23:49 UTC  

Honestly it ultimately isn't a pretty situation either way you look.

2018-12-04 02:24:01 UTC  

I've never seen someone 100% anything on any of these tests

2018-12-04 02:24:16 UTC  

I got turbo middle ground on that one though, iirc

2018-12-04 02:24:34 UTC  

Israel is a shit show.

2018-12-04 02:24:43 UTC  

and it is partly our fault

2018-12-04 02:24:43 UTC  

I believe Israeli occupation is a result of Palestinian aggression, and that is true. The argument there though is that ultimately the Israelis never had a right to be a state in the first place

2018-12-04 02:25:18 UTC  

No they really didn't

2018-12-04 02:25:24 UTC  

I hope the muslims overrun isreal and destroy every last man woman and child there

2018-12-04 02:25:25 UTC  

Although the Israeli people were there originally it has been largely palestinian muslim territory since its conquest shortly after the death of Muhammad

2018-12-04 02:25:32 UTC  

but well, that goose is already cooked.
