Copts in the 21st century

Copts are Christians from Egypt, representing one of the oldest Christian communities globally. In the 21st century, they face challenges such as social discrimination, occasional violence, and political marginalization, yet they also contribute significantly to Egypt’s cultural, religious, and social life. Despite these difficulties, many Copts maintain their traditions, churches, and community identity while navigating a predominantly Muslim society. Global awareness and support have increased, fostering efforts to promote religious tolerance and protect their rights, though tensions and security concerns persist. Overall, Copts remain a vital and resilient part of Egypt's diverse population.
