Best Answer

Egypt was first colonized by the Greeks (another pagan group), and then the Romans (also Pagan). Emperor Constantine of Rome made Christianity the national religion, and so forced it on all of Romes territories (including Egypt). Once Rome fell, the correlations between Christianity and Islam made it rather easy to convert en mass and Egypt has remained Islamic to this day.
