Well, yes, or the non-Coptic Egyptians. Tom Send a noteboard - 17/06/2010 12:57:54 AM
They were all Coptic Christians when a small band of Arabs conquered them. It's not like the millions of Egyptians then living in Egypt were all killed and the tiny band of Arabs screwed their way into the 78 million range. It's just that, over time, the Egyptians adopted Islam and all started speaking Arabic (including the Coptic Christians). They're all essentially the same, ethnically. A few may have more Arab blood than others.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Wait...is the racist part the idiocy of trying to say Cleopatra was black or the "wog" calling part? - 15/06/2010 01:38:42 AM 448 Views
