Authorities, Islamists in Egypt Stop Orthodox Church from Re-Opening - Threaten to Kill Copt Clergy

Setting the stage for a Muslim only Egypt:

Rizq added that all was quiet at press time but still very tense. Imams were walking through the area surrounding the church building “calling for jihad,” but the army had cordoned off the area...

“I 100 percent don’t think they will open the church there, because they [the Muslims] are completely against the idea of having a church there,” he said. “Even yesterday someone [a protestor] said, ‘You can open up the church, and I will go and blow myself up inside it.’”

Typically after an attack on Christians it is they who are arrested [unless there is an international outcry then something may be done] ~ this time it was the clergy.

Peter Rizq, a lay minister at the church, said he, the priests and others trapped in the building found a way to sneak to safety after Muslims threatened to kill the head priest of the congregation...

The men left the church building one by one, but some of them were later arrested and charged with illegal possession of weapons, a charge Rizq said was untrue.

When no law can contradict the Sharia [Clause II in the Egyptian Constitution] ~ Christians cannot receive equal treatment ~ however individual Muslims might feel.
