"Are Coptic Christians in Egypt treated fairly?" - please take time to examine the related links......then decide for yourselves.
Cristians aren't allowed to run for president, are thought less of and are commonly getting shot at in their churches, I know this, i am coptic.
The current government essentially ignores the Copts. Egyptian police often go to great lengths to block churches from being legally built (sometimes by the use of thuggery). Reports of Coptic girls being kidnapped and forced to convert to Islam are very common in Egypt - in these situations, the police will actually protect the kidnappers rather than help the family. In rural Egypt, there was a reported case of Muslim villagers breaking into Christian tombs to desecrate and steal the bodies, while Muslim tombs were untouched. Again, the police did essentially nothing to find the culprits, and many instances like these occur today.
