The Role of the Egyptian Security in Violence Against Christian Copts

Sabatino Moscati, the Italian archeologist, in a comparative study of ancient civilizations (1) notes that“In this oasis (ancient Egypt) we witness the flowering of the longest cultural period in human history: three thousand years in history, following an incalculable period of pre-history; a continuous cultural tradition uninterrupted by changes and stratifications that are characteristic of the other civilizations of the ancient orient.

If Christian and Jewish religious symbols are criticized and satirized, most people do not care. Nobody takes to the street to demonstrate violently against the “culprits.” A long history of enlightenment and freedom of expression has tamed the majority of Christians and Jews. They accept religious freedom as a civilized fact of life.
