It's as old as the sun.

Egypt is a dictatorship. A majority spending time killing off minorities will have less time to rebel against the dictators rule, thus a dictator will allow it. This is anything but new, it happens from time to time in most dictatorships. What do you think "dictatorship" means? "happy happy fun time"?

It has nothing to do with Egypt being a dictatorship, you probably know that but just can't help yourself.

Well I detest all religion first of all, did I say anything about Invading Egypt. What we can do is putting pressure on country's like Egypt and Syria (and your own Turkey to a lesser extend) to protect their minority's better.

Some things have been done to make Islam less intolerant, such as female Imans in places such as Morocco.

Some of the harder ones would be to change rules on Muslims who change religion. If more muslim countries allowed other Churches to be built this would also help breed mutual tolerance.

To be fair, the phenomenon to which Hortore alludes is a valid point regarding dictatorships. Whether explicitly cultivated as in the Nazis or semi-happenstance as were the periodic Tsarist pogroms against Russian Jews, or the Japanese treatment of Koreans between 1925 and 1945, a dictatorship DOES benefit from having an out-group to pick on. This lets the lower echelon vent frustrations without endangering the elite. The concept is an old one, and is simply a variant on the circum side of the panem et circum recipe.

Doesn't make these episodes in Egypt any less "muslim v. non-muslim" but is worthy of factoring in when analyzing.
