This article deals with a number of different ways in which the Muslim-Christian relationship is thought of and portrayed in Egypt, as well as the influence of expatriate Copts. The article begins with describing how some prominent Muslims believe that it is Copts outside of Egypt who mostly incite the idea that Copts living inside of Egypt are persecuted. The quoted Dr. Abbas goes as far to say that expatriate Copts are in close contact with the CIA, desiring to disturb the civil society of Egypt. Dr. Abbas also fears that Christians in Egypt, and outside, are plotting to dissolve the Muslim heritage of the country, placing more and more churches in many towns and cities. The author believes that the government must control such thoughts concerning Coptic life in Egypt. He asks, who is more powerful? Political Islam, or the government? Lastly, the author finds that there is no shortage of Copts in the left-leaning, cultural circles of society. But in others, like sports and government, there is a distinct lack in Coptic participation.
