Also, that would make sense for the population that converted to Islam, but it wouldn't for the Egyptians who resisted Islamic conversions. They would've married and kept to their own communities, a common trait among many minority groups. To do otherwise would result in them converting to Islam.

....Evidence? (note that is has ceased to be an argument but more of an educational experience for me)

Then where did the descendants of the ancient Egyptians go? Perhaps its due to my ignorance, but you're not making sense to me in that regard.

One thing you still haven't answered: How can you label the Ancient Egyptians as arabs when they both had distinctly different cultures?

What i said was based on the prosperity of western civilisation as opposed to Islamic/Arabic civilisation in this current day and age. Edit: We still would've been able to keep our culture as opposed to having an Arab/Islamic one imposed on us if the Byzantines had kept control of Egypt.

We were divided on whose side to give our allegiance too, with some Egyptians siding with the arabs, and some with the Byzantines. Think of it this way, if we didn't embrace Arabic/Islamic rule, we wouldn't be as backwards as we are today.

Precisely my aim too. :)

So then, where did all the Egyptians go? Personally, i go to church, and i aim to learn Coptic at uni as soon as possible (probably after i finish my initial degree). I don't see how you can relate a people whose ancestors had a distinct culture to that of another people. At the very least, i...

NO! Egyptians do not trace their ancestry back to the arabian pennisula and the nomadic arab tribes that wander around from place to place. If you were to determine their ancestry, it would stem to Egypt, not the arabian pennisula. Egyptians are NOT arabs. Edit: Didn't thoroughly read posts...

lol.

Really? Well, its not very hard at all. Should learn the basic principles in around 2-3 days, but you'll need practice to become flawless at it. That is, unless you haven't done so at tutoring (if you take tutoring).

Suprisingly yes.

Geez. Your opinion is your opinion, but can you at least write in normal size font?

Precisely so.

Just do your best, and you get the UAI you want. Thats how i see it.

Thats exactly how i feel about Egypt.

The Jizya is not a percentage of one's income, but rather a set amount. I'd know since my ancestors had to pay it. Try to write in normal font, and next time try your very best to give a logical, sustained argument. Edit: I may be wrong for the first point, but thats according to what i've been...

I'm pretty sure that it doesn't apply for adultery. Drug smuggling perhaps would carry that penalty. Isn't Egypt officially a secular country?
