Is Egypt failing to protect its Coptic Christians? | DW Documentary

- Опубліковано 18 жов 2024
- Egypt's government has been accused of failing to protect its minority of Coptic Christians, after a successful string of attacks by Muslim Egyptians.
For centuries, Christians and Muslims in Egypt have lived alongside each other. Discrimination did occur but generally this coexistence was peaceful. The Christian community today makes up just ten percent of the population. Since the 1980’s however, Christians belonging to the Coptic Orthodox Church have increasingly been the target of violence and attacks by Muslim extremists. Guirguis Fawzy is typical of the Christian community in Egypt. Middle class, successful and well networked. Guirguis lives with his family in Suhag in the Nile Valley north of Luxor where he deals in wood. He has relatives in major cities such as Cairo and Alexandria. Like most Copts he considers himself first and foremost an Egyptian, his Christian faith playing only a secondary role in how he sees his own identity. But this relaxed view of his own place in Egyptian society is both rejected and challenged by militant Islamists.
Keen to exploit growing polarization since the 2013 military coup that removed the Muslim Brotherhood from power, Islamic critics of current President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi’s strong-arm tactics have been quick to portray this as evidence of a pro-Christian agenda. It doesn’t take much these days to provoke communal violence. Worse still, a wave of terrorist shootings and bombings targeting Copts has shocked the community leading many to question whether the government is doing enough to protect them.

Egyptian Christians may be the most determined and commited Christians in the whole Christianity...I am from India and prayers for protection on us...
Haha India
Are you a protestant?
@@moonori4595 yes.

This is probably the first time I have seen a major public broadcaster produce an in-depth documentary on the Copts.
Hi Miroslav Georgiev,
thanks for sharing your impressions!
Stay tuned & spread the word!
Best wishes

Why you dont write what the interviewee himself said, that terrorists in Egypt target all the Egyptians? And why you dont support the Egyptian government in this war rather than playing by the words.

I’m Armenian. I know how hard is to be Christian and being surrounded by Muslims in the Middle East. The most interesting fact that these people live on their OWN LAND and still don’t feel safe. So sad..

This is very unfortunate and I'm so sad that this is happening. I am a Muslim and I would joyously embrace Coptic Christians especially given their history and their presence in the land. God bless all of us.
Mahmoud Bennett thank you

Egyptian Christians were existing before Muslim.
My friend Coptic means egyptian in our egyptian mother language which is not arabic, so im a copt means im egyptian :) we are the owners of the land.
The whole world was inhabited by different people.
Yes. Egypt used to be a christian country. It's around 80-85% muslim now
@Turkic Federation No, not anymore. There's a slight genetic difference but nothing too major. There's too much intermixing over hundreds of generations, even with the religious barriers.
Got that right
😊i am a coptic living in Egypt and father antonios has actually visited our house many times before , surprised to see him in this video 😅
Is it safe?
yeah pretty safe
Right now it safe and stable with war going in sinai aganist ISIS which is making ISIS draw back from the country and well I think christain will feel safe again in their homeland
You should arm yourself the lord said "be humble as a dove but as wise as a serpent" never be the one to attack but if attacked protect youself
Etian Saker Nice advice. Muslims in the west should take your advice too.
I am from Eritrea, My religion is Orthodox, I love Egyptian Orthodox God bless Egyptian Orthodox
God bless you too
Yeah...eritrea orthodox tewhado here as well... Eritrea, Ethiopia, Egypt, Greek, Russia needs to be protected as there are only few coptic churches in the world and our influence is lower than Catholic and islam
Copts formed a majority in Egypt up to the 13th C. May they be sustained in their homeland.
11th fool
well modern copts are arabian just like modern muslims in egypt are arabs.
@J Knox Islam wasn't able to conquer egypt until the Roman empire collapsed. And even when the arabs took Egypt, it took centuries before Egypt became predominantly Muslim.
Like I said, Coptic Egyptians are the hardiest christians.
Copts and Muslim Egyptians are not genetically different from each other
@Alvin David Even Christianity, do you know anything about what the Romans did when they killed priests and destroyed temples !?
The Copts have been in Egypt nearly as long as Christianity has existed-it definitely is part of Egyptian culture.
As a flag and history nerd...
I'm very agreed with you.
I just learn about the copts and they're soooo ancient... since they're orthodoxian, it makes the history more points than it was, but yeah, it is sad they were mocked and bottom legs of them Egypt community
Not as long as Christianity even before Christianity they're Egyptians their ancestors are same people who fought the Hittites and the sea people

The soldiers are there in the church , what should they do more putting tanks and helicopters around ???
@@rebelac4926 they do actually put tanks on the gates of the major churches and many soldiers and guards
They don't plan on protecting because most Egyptian officials want it to be 100% Muslim country. But man coptics are one of the hardiest christians, it took centuries of conquering before Muslims became the predominant religion in Egypt.
They dont get that religion aside, the Coptics are the closest they have to native Egyptians and they should respect their history.
@@rebelac4926 One armed guard picking his teeth = adequate institutional protection. I like to imagine they just shipped him to Iraq and he single-handedly liberated Mosul
How can Arabs define Coptic Christians as foreign in Egypt. Arabs weren’t even in the region before the 8 th century but Coptic were.

18:50 "His muslim neighbours pressured him not to film at home because as a Christian he can present a wrong view of Egypt" - even here you can see a clear discrimination that Copts have to suffer from daily from Muslims
What the heck!? The Copts were there WAY before the Muslims!
Are you a copt?
You do know Islam isn't a race or ethnicity lol
The Christian is the third religion after Judaism...
and before Muslim expanded
You do know egyptian muslims are descendants of copts who were converted right?
@REG.B/0716104019/MAYIL EKATARUNA this is historically not true. Christian Egyptians didn't feel safe under Romans rule because they were heavily oppressed and after Islam came the Egyptians converted because the rule gave them freedom and economical stability that Christians Romans didn't give them.
Prayers and love to the Coptic in Egypt from Texas! I was baptized a Maronite Catholic in one of the very few Maronite Churches in the USA. The Maronite Church in Austin Texas is "Our Ladys Maronite" on 51st Street in Austin TX. Prayers for all whom are still trying to preserve not only their right to live, but the right to being a believer in something higher than our understanding.
Thank you. God bless you. We Christians have too fight back against Islam.
The fact that Christianity in Egypt is older than Islam itself, there were Christians in Egypt before there was a religion called Islam!!
Your so right
Being older doesn’t mean anything, what are u trying to say ?

The sister speaking at 8:13 is exactly why Christians, and Christianity, flourish, if given a chance. Our religion asks more of us, asks us to be better, to be kinder, and to work harder. Any society that accepts the Christian faith and lets it permeate the culture, will be blessed and will overflow with peace and abundance.

Amen. God bless you.
As a coptic christian , I usually don’t watch such documentaries, as they don’t show the real life and suffer of the coptic , they either exaggerate or deny according to their political agenda, however this is one of the best videos documenting real and honest experience, one point though, this is an above average family.
In rural regions coptic people are really suffering some churches are closed or burned, christians are being harassed or even beaten for attempting to open the church. Thank you

@Peter Raaft I am a Coptic too. بيتر, Do really believe that the Islamic government of Egypt is doing their best to protect Copts? In reality, they are conspiring with the extremists. The government prosecute Copts in many ways and forms like not hiring Copts in high position in the govt. Or army or police, Not isssuing permits to build churches,........and the list goes on. Not to mention the thousands of young Coptic girls who get abducted yearly and forced to convert to Islam.

@TheMistAnchorite the prayer is in Coptic liturgy but it is often said in Arabic be careful the Copts are not Arabs but Byzantine Egypt at the time of the pharaohs who were not Arabs the Copts are their descendants from ancient Egypt they were evangelized for become monotheistic and finally predominantly Orthodox and a small percentage of Coptic Catholics in these cases if you have to fish only the lord can forgive you ask him that's all
@TheMistAnchorite Yes yes completely agree with you it's a kind of monophysite orthodoxy it's very interesting to know xar not everyone knows the different types of Eastern Christianity because if there is no one around to explain they are not so well known there are also the Syriac Orthodox, many of whom are my friends, the liturgies are slightly different from the Copts, then we have the Greco Catholic Chaldean Melkite from Iraq, south east of Turkey, Maronites too, who are also Catholic, the cradle of Eastern Christianity. is however very rich in culture it is enriching all that

You must be living in another world or you are delusional.
Stfu bitch we're no refugees this our home we don't want or need your fake sympathy
I’m a Coptic refugee. As of today, over 20% of Copts have fled Egypt. Although Egypt is our homeland and contains our ancestors’s ancient civilization, it doesn’t seem like there is a future for us there. The majority of the people are Muslim, so it’s a lost cause. The only way for Egypt to foster the Coptic people is for the Muslims to accept their Coptic identity. This doesn’t mean they have to be Christian. Simply changing the language from Arabic to Coptic will mark a big turn of events in modern Egypt.
@@dr.apollo4226 but muslims religious require arabian language. But I agrree with coptic identity is more to be christian. This is a real shame and leftist in west world do not understand that.

Iam a coptic Christian, my parents moved out of Egypt in '73 after Muslim extremists board a train my parents were on and killed any Christians that were on the train (your i.d. In egypt shows what religion you are). After people on the train helped my parents escape from the train, my parents applied for the visa lottery to come to the United States and we've been in the u.s. ever since. So I understand and know how copts get treated in egypt in particular upper egypt like El menya, assuit, Aswan etc. Anywhere muslims dominate they turn the country into a third world country.

George Maged ... please watch Dr Muhammad Rahouma You tube and find out how much the Coptic Christians suffering in Egypt.. please do that and be careful one day your family will have a shared suffering like the rest of the Christians in Egypt
The mother explaining how she fainted seeing her dead daughters is the saddest thing in the world
God bless all Christian brothers and sisters!!! Love from A Chinese Christian🇨🇳🩷❤🧡
Be strong God loves you always!💝❣️💖
I'm Muslim☪️️ love from Bangladesh🇧🇩
I am from 🇪🇹 Ethiopian orthodox. May God protect you.
We Ethiopians are used to be the keepers of our Egyptian christian brothers in the past
But now we don't have that power because of our internal problems we also got through much by our government.
May God help us
correct❤
I am American, and have always wanted to go to the first Christian Church and learn the language. I am afraid to travel to the Egyptian Church for safety reasons, especially since I am alone. One day I will do the pilgrimage. I hope to find an online resource to perhaps attend and support virtually.

العراق دولة إسلامية كيف يتم قتل المسلمون هناك 😂😂
There are Arabic churches in America. I’m sure they can connect you
I am from Goa. India. A catholic. My love to all the Coptic Christians.
I am a Copt Egyptian
Everything in this movie is real. 👏👏
"May God have mercy on us and protect all Catholic people in and around the world"
Yes, This is happening and we have no rights , I have been rejected In sport championships because Im christian, I can't find a place of peace, always feeling unwelcome in my own land, even more i better shut up because i dont want to remember that all doors are closed for christians except death.
Don't worry everything will be fine
I wish you the best of luck and hope for change. Muslim Kurds suffer the same problem, it all depends on the people in power. Focus on getting rich and take over your country.
I knew a Coptic family who moved to Lebanon because they just couldn't live in peace anymore. It made me really sad. Lebanon is beautiful but I know there's nothing like home.
Remember in Christ we shall have everlasting life in the kingdom of God
Over exaggerated.
i feel bad for my christian brothers and sisters ;(
legg
They are living better than me and I am a Muslim in a Muslim nation.
Thanks brother
يا عيني، نبكي يعني ولا ايش نعمل؟
@@rebelac4926 even if ur experiencing worse than them, no one deserves hate just because of their religion
Muslims and Christians in Lebanon live peacefully together now. I have lots of Christian friends. I love my Christian brothers and sisters.
I'm from India love my Egyptian Christians.thank for broadcasting first time .
Muslims and Copts have lived together in peace for a thousand years, the national pride of Egyptians is more important than an individual’s religion. Long live Egypt
