Here's something interesting - apparently the coptic pope has gone into seclusion in protest over the treatment of Egyptian christians. We actually saw the pope while in Egypt this fall (in fact, here's a photo I took of him), and we had the opportunity to interact with a number of Egyptian Christians, thanks to my friend Jason who is working in the Coptic community. I hadn't heard that much about the issues the article raises, but there is certainly an opinion among the Egyptian Christians that they are not being treated well in Egypt. It's a topic far too long to go into on this page, and I suspect Jason could get a book out of his experiences were he so inclined. Suffice it to say that all is not rosy in Egypt.
