It is true that there is a general attitude of respect to the Christian faith, but this respect refers only to the Islamic perception of how Christianity should be, not the way it is. The fact that a new chapter about the Coptic era has recently been introduced in the Social Studies and History textbooks has to be praised indeed but why is there no information at all about the contributions of Egyptian Christians after the Arab conquest? In the textbooks for Islamic education Jews are generally considered the „enemies of the Muslims“, the „people of betrayal“, „treacherous people.” Is this not a clear attack on another religion? Is this perception not very much influenced by the actual politics?
