And let’s not forget that the recent swine flu outbreak was an excuse for the Egyptian government to order the slaughter of pigs, which was clearly intended as anti-Christian move.
 
Ive just gotten back from egypt not long ago, and found the Christians to be unfairly treated.
  1. If a muslim converts to Christianity, they wont be recognized by the state. Because the government does not recognize muslims converting to Christianity.
  2. It can take up to 10 years, thats right TEN years to apply to have a church built, and even after all that time, its rarely granted. A mosque only takes 3 months to be approved.
  3. Christian families have had daughters kidnapped and forced to convert to islam, are forced into marriage. When the Christian parents report it, there is hardly anything done, merely because they ARE Christians.
    4)Individuals who convert from islam to Christianity face discrimination and violence from their family, muslim neighbors, or the state police. Furthermore, a muslim wife is required to divorce an apostate husband; converts from islam lose all inheritance rights; they also lose custody of their children and they are unable to change their religious affiliation on state identity cards. No similar legal consequences befall converts from Christianity to islam.
You call this fair, and i can go on as well!
no i don’t call it fair , i call it not authentic and not reliable information

as for example , do you have any declaration from government that they dosn’t recognize muslims converting to Christianity ?

for the building of church and mosques , are you have any statments or constitution which specify 10 years for church and 3 years for mosques ?

do you have any proofs about forcing of christian girls to marry muslims then forcing them to convert to islam then governments leave them without protection !!!

muslim didn’t object when the government order the slaughter of cows or birds either , this is kind of safty reasons , not religious one
no one ever from muslims object existence of pigs in our country , christians eat porks freely and openly without any objections from governments nor groups nor personal muslims

yes, there is plenty of evidence on the net, news articles, documentries etc, google is your friend, and someone posted links to a doco on here displaying these atrocities.
Now, please get your head out of the sand and have a look at the net and the proof you require
 
I have to disagree with Srlucado, Christians really shouldn’t be eating pork anyway!
Pork was declared a unclean meat in the OT. Why would you want to eat something God has declared unclean?

إضافة إلى ذلك، فإن موظفي الحكومة المسؤولين عن إصدار هذه الوثائق الهامة يحرمون المواطنين المصريين من اختيار تغيير ديانتهم من الإسلام إلى المسيحية (أو أي ديانة أخرى)، حيث يقصرون الاعتراف على الديانات الثلاث ويرفضون السماح بالتحول عن الإسلام. ولا يقوم المسؤولون بذلك الأمر استناداً إلى أي قانون مصري، بل في ضوء تفسيرهم لموقف الشريعة من “الردة”. وقد أيدت أغلب المحاكم المصرية هذه السياسات على أساس أن أغلبية المجتمع المصري الساحقة من المسلمين وأن الإسلام هو الديانة الرسمية للدولة طبقاً للدستور، وأن أي إقرار بـ"الردة" من شأنه أن يحدث ضرراً بالنظام العام

إلى جانب أنواع الحرمان النسبي المذكور أعلاه، هناك أنواع من التفرقة الصارخة على أساس الدين. وأهم هذه هي القوانين واللوائح المنظمة لبناء دور العبادة. فبينما لا يحتاج المسلمون إلى تصريح رسمي لبناء مسجد في أي مكان، يحتاج بناء أو حتى ترميم أي كنيسة في مصر إلى مرسوم “رئاسي” من رئيس الجمهورية ـ وهو ما يعني عادة الانتظار عدة سنوات. بل إنني أعرف حالة في إحدى قرى المنيا، تبرع أحد أقباطها الميسورين (المحامي عدلي دوس) بقطعة أرض لبناء كنيسة لخدمة أقباطها الذين كان يبلغ عددهم وقت التبرع (1953) حوالي ثلثمائة. وانتقل الرجل إلى رحمة الله منذ سنتين (2003) أي بعد خمسين سنة، ولم يتم بناء الكنيسة إلى تاريخه. وما يزال نجله (الطبيب شريف دوس) يناضل البيروقراطية المصرية من أجل تحقيق حلم والده، والرغبة المشروعة والحق الدستوري لأبناء القرية الذين تجاوز عددهم الآن الألفين، وعليهم السفر عدة كيلو مترات إلى أقرب كنيسة كل يوم أحد للصلاة، أو حينما تكون هناك حالة وفاة أو زواج تتطلب خدمات كنسية. الطريف في أمر كنيسة منية دوس، أن المحامي عدلي دوس كان قد تبرع بقطعة أرض مساوية لبناء مسجد في نفس القرية في نفس التاريخ، وأيضاً على نفقته الخاصة. ولما كان بناء مساجد المسلمين لا يحتاج إلى مرسوم جهوري، أو حتى موافقة شيخ الخفر، فقد تم الانتهاء من بناء المسجد في شهور، بينما ما زال أقباط “منية دوس” ينتظرون بناء كنيستهم لأكثر من خمسين عاماً.

LOL! I was thinking much the same thing - only mine was Pork, sauerkraut and dumplings. MMMMMMMM…Delicious!!! 😃
oh yummmmm i love sauerkraut, i couldnt get enough of it when i was in germany
 
we didn’t respond because there is no evedince or facts , you even didn’t mentioned what they told you exactly

edit

beisde , i think that tomarin point out the fact that Egypt is a modern nation which in theory at least has adopted the institutions and practices of a secular state.
well , he is right in that
Ok here we have a problem of contradiction. While you deny, or fail to recognize, the other muslims on this thread are trying to justify, or minimize the intention of the jizya.
 
i care to elaborate and i’m not a Muslim. Its not my place to judge you but according to the BIBLE in Leviticus 11:7 & 8 God told us the swine was unclean to eat. Isaiah 66:17 tells us about people who are supposed to righteous hiding behind trees and eating swine-which is an abomination. 1 Corinthians 3: 16 & 17 - Those that follow Christ their bodies are a temple where the Holy Spirit dwells so we ought not to defile our bodies and if we do we will be destroyed.

If you truly believe in The Holy Bible as God’s word then why disobey him by eating what he has declared unclean.

i’m really perturbed by Dolphinlove’s response, just because you were rebuked it wasn’t a means of disrespect - when you profess to be a follower of Christ you have a standard to uphold. People within the Islamic faith know this and are aware of Christian standards so when you willfully disobey the BIBLE they laugh at us and think Christianity is foolishness.
 
law breaker? do you care to elaborate?
5:66 And if they would but truly observe the Torah and the gospel and all [the revelation] that has been bestowed from on high upon them by their Sustainer, they would indeed partake of all the blessings of heaven and earth. Some of them do pursue a right course; but as for most of them -vile indeed is what they do!

I’m glad that there are still faithful Christians who still hold the commandants of Torah…

But in the end it’s your religion and not mine…sorry if I offended you…

Do you not recognize the new covenant?

Mat 15:11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man: but what cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
Mat 15:12 Then came his disciples, and said to him: Dost thou know that the Pharisees, when they heard this word, were scandalized?
Mat 15:13 But he answering, said: Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
Mat 15:14 Let them alone: they are blind, and leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both fall into the pit.
Mat 15:15 And Peter answering, said to him: Expound to us this parable.
Mat 15:16 But he said: Are you also yet without understanding?
Mat 15:17 Do you not understand, that whatsoever entereth into the mouth, goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the privy?

Act 10:10 And being hungry, he was desirous to taste somewhat. And as they were preparing, there came upon him an ecstasy of mind.
Act 10:11 And he saw the heaven opened and a certain vessel descending, as it were a great linen sheet let down by the four corners from heaven to the earth:
Act 10:12 Wherein were all manner of four-footed beasts and creeping things of the earth and fowls of the air.
Act 10:13 And there came a voice to him: Arise, Peter. Kill and eat.
Act 10:14 But Peter said: Far be it from me. For I never did eat any thing that is common and unclean.
Act 10:15 And the voice spoke to him again the second time: That which God hath cleansed, do not thou call common.
Act 10:16 And this was done thrice. And presently the vessel was taken up into heaven.

I was rebuked??? where???
And thanks to Prodigal Son1 for the response…
These are the lines i was going to quote…
God bless you

As per Prodigal Son1’s answer. 😉

You’ve misinterpreted the Scripture.

When the Lord told Peter to Rise. kill and eat. this was a metaphor and it is explained in the next few verses, if you studied the whole chapter (Acts 10) you would understand the principle. The reason behind the rise, kill ant eat was because it was unlawful for Jews to keep comapny with other nations Read Acts 10:28. This was literal to eat something whoch was unclean it was the Lords way of telling Peter that the gospel must also be preached to non-Jews.

The Matthew scripture is a metaphor also, you need to read from the beginning to understand whats being said. Originally the question of defiling arose because the Scribes and pharisees saw the disciple eating and they hadn’t washed their hands (which was a tradition of the elders)

Christ was trying to let the Scribes and pharisees see that their traditions (washing hands) did not take away from the fact that they were ungodly wicked people

V18 & V19 But those things which proceed out of the mouth cometh from the heart; and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies

I’m not going to use the BIBLE to bash your views as God is not getting any glory from this. The BIBLE is clear, God never goes back on his word & he is not the author of confusion.
