“Egyptians enjoy the same rights” is a lie that many Egyptian officials say in each sectarian strife. However, I'ld like to tackle such claimed equality in building houses of worship.
Muslims have all rights to build mosques every where and every-when, without even having a permission. Moreover, no one can stop them from building a house for Allah.
This is not the case when Coptic Christians think about building a church. Almost all state organizations and many Egyptians work in wonderful harmony to hinder the project.
In 25 years, the Egyptian Parliament has failed to pass the unified law of building houses of worship, even though it was able to pass the law of monopoly in one day, which served Ahmed Ezz, prominent business man and politician in Mubarak's regime, whom the government thought more important than millions of Copts.
Those Copts are suffering more and more under the fanatic Islamic rule, and building churches to pray is getting even harder and harder.
The Islamists claim that the state is not preventing building the churches, just like modern countries do including Switzerland. They say it only organizes the procedures.
In fact, it's wonderful that the Egyptian authorities doesn't mind building brothels and dens, but fight building churches by all means.
This is so injustice, which God may never approves. I, however, believe He is watching, and will react soon
