For those who dont know what is a Copt, we are the Christian minority of Egypt. The original people of Egypt, direct descendants of the pharaohs.
Isn't this a lie copts promote to feel special? I feel like I've heard that. The same way that the Israelites refer to themselves as God's chosen people.
No. Copts were the original inhabitants of Egypt. The Coptic language is Latin based and similar to Greek. Mark went to Egypt around 60 AD and spread Christianity. Arabs then came in the 7th century. Copts always make sure to correct people who call them Arab. Not all Copts are going to be direct descendants but they are the closest to them.

Topic is just propaganda though. Morsi did not want to instill "Shariah law" nor was he responsible for any persecution against copts. He died imprisoned unjustly after being democratically elected, tortured for 6 years until he was blind. It speaks more about you than it does about him that you're happy about this.
Now under Sisi, everyone is eating shit with a spoon. And if copts are going to support someone like that, they'd better be prepared for the backlash when he goes down.
At least three through the entire topic before you go on a rant lol
I threed through it, it's still propaganda. Morsi is like, the first democratically elected president via popular vote in Egypt for thousands of years. They didn't have democracy at the time of the Pharoahs, nor under Islam's rule, nor under colonialism and proxy rulers like Mubarak and now Sisi (who are backed by western powers and allies like Saudi and the UAE).
Copts supported ousting him, along with secular "Muslims" who are basically Muslim by name but hate everything to do with the religion. This same type of person is the kind who is torturing thousands of completely average people in underground prisons in Egypt, most of whom are Muslim, but I hear you get a few legit Christian criminals down there or anyone who spoke against the government (not done typically by copts though, no matter how despotic the regime is).
So yeah. You're a minority in the country yet overwhelmingly support:
1. Ousting the first democratically elected leader in literally thousands of years. 2. The guy torturing/killing the majority group regularly. 3. A bunch of propaganda against said democratically elected president and majority group.
There are also of course the many cases of copts imprisoning other copts who convert to Islam, and themselves kidnapping women and such. The backlash they've received is actually really minor. But the way things are going in Egypt, it will eventually explode and become the next Syria. Copts better be prepared to be displaced in that situation, or partake in the huge amount of slaughter that will be done on both sides.
Your description of secular Muslims (the majority of Egypt btw) as being not real Muslims is enough for me to know that youre a MB sympathizer. So the rest isnt even worthy a response.
