Are coptics treated fairly in Egypt?

Coptics are treated unfairly. Muslims can do whatever they want to the Christians in Egypt. If a Muslim person converts to Christianity they will be killed or other punishments. Coptics first ruled all of Egypt till the Muslims took over their land and now control over it. Coptics can be killed anytime for any reason if they feel the need to. Sometimes the Muslims would burn down or bomb the Christan churches. But overall the Christians in Egypt can live a normal life and have no problems unless they do something thought as "wrong" to the Muslims.

What do you call a person who lives alone for religious reasons?

Someone that lives an isolated life of worship is called a hermit. In Christianity, hermits were originally Coptics that lived alone in the desert. They were called eremites by the Greeks, and that is where we get the word hermit. Hermitage is not restricted to Christianity, it is common in Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism as well.


What denomination did The Eastern Orthodox Emerge?

You're question is a little unclear and could mean two things so I'll answer both. Why did the Orthodox denomination emerge? The Orthodox emerged when the eastern and western bishops excommunicated each other in a power struggle in 1054. The east became the Orthodox and the west became the Catholics. Who broke off from the Orthodox? There was no reformation in the east like there was in the west. There was the separation of the Coptics, but that was simply on their slightly different belief about the nature of the Trinity.
