While personal relations between Muslims and Christians in many parts of Egypt are fine, in other areas there are problems which have led to regular outbreaks of violence and death. Copts, who comprise approximately ten percent of the population, often be

Under the Muslim Brotherhood, things will only get worse for Coptic Christians in Egypt.

So, this is Egypt's form of democracy-religious intolerance?

Christians and Muslims have always gotten along in Egypt, a lot of Christians there own big businesses that take in a lot of money so I'm unsure there's a big problem there with them

They should be worried. The only thing that ever held the MB in check in Egypt was Mubarak and the military. Mubarak's gone and like Turkey, the military has been sanitized with the majority of its best generals in jail. Cruxifixions, rape and murder not to mention land and property grabs are becoming the norm.

It is tragic that the Coptic Christians, one of the first Christian groups in the world, must suffer.

There is nothing to worry about - Christians do not have a future in Islamist Egypt. They can just look at what Egyptian Islamists did to Jews and see what is coming when the time comes.

This all happened thanks to Obama. Obama was a big hero in over-throwing Mubarak, a secular guy who protected all minorities and women rights. He showed how American allies are dumped into the bus, and where people should keep their allegiances to.

And well they should. The Brotherhood is not among their fans and the Brotherhood is busily consolidating its iron grip on the Egyptian nation. Women are as much at risk as any. The future for any but those committed to Sharia in Egypt is bleak. And that is putting it mildly. Something tells me the uprising there is far from over. We'll see what happens when their "new" constitution is finally published and ratified. I don't think that will be pretty. And I do think we will find Morsi every bit as brutal as Mubarak.
