Disagreement with Sadat
Throughout the years of the first revolution did not happen friction and clear them from the church, but perhaps the Copts were the only ones who survived the concerts detention launched by the revolution for years the fifties and sixties and the longer all currents and trends, including the Communists and the Muslim Brotherhood, It was not here when something of a deal between the regime and the Copts , but it all goes back to normal it was not for the Copts - grouping religious - any political ambitions after the July Revolution, unlike the case with the rest of the other trends that crashed into the desires of the ambitious men of the revolution, but it differed in the seventies after he ascended the "Sadat" and his successor Pope "Shenouda "summit of the presidency and the church respectively.Collision did not come early, and in particular that Mr. President "Sadat" did not need to expand the scope of the enemies the many already, after having removed the so-called "power centers of Nasiriyah," it ought to be the gifts does not differentiate because it is submitted to the inevitable war imposed in order to recover the ground, and after October victory in 1973 was "Sadat" more confident in himself and more individually the decision was his decision to release the hands of the most dangerous groups and the Islamic movement - without restriction - in the universities and the Egyptian political street to fight the leftist and communist was to bring him this already.Although there is no documentation of a thorough and clear inventory of the causes of ignition strife between Muslims, Christians, and especially in Upper Egypt .. However, the fire has flamed and had to be that of the Pope "Shenouda" opinion of what happened.Prior to this the Pope "Shenouda" recorded a rejection of the peace agreement with Israel, and stressed, however, that decided not to go with the president, "Sadat" in his visit to Israel in 1977, this, of course, making the case of hostile Sadat toward the Pope because he had not imagined that go against one of the its decisions after the war, let alone if this is the leadership of each major Orthodox, who make up the majority of Christians in Egypt?!Pat collision is imminent .. In light of increasing accusations from Christians that the state fuel violence towards them by the Islamic groups, and when the president, "Sadat" a visit to America was the clash .. The systems of the Copts in America, a demonstration against the "Sadat" hoisted signs to describe what is happening to the Copts in Egypt, that persecution is definitely what hurt more, "Sadat" frequently asked aides to contact the Pope to send to stop the demonstrations, and when this happens actually a bit late thought, "Sadat" that the Pope "Shenouda" challenge him, was that issued the security decision of the Pope to stop the dumping of the study of the weekly, which was rejected by Pope then decided to escalate the matter by issuing a decision to turn not to the celebration in the church and not receiving public officials who are deployed by Usually the state of congratulation ..But it came to its peak when he wrote in his letter, which toured all the churches such as the celebration that these decisions were "in protest against the persecution of Copts in Egypt," This was the only time that recognizes the Pope publicly the existence of persecution of the Copts in Egypt did not do it then never .. Become a rupture between the "Sadat" and the Pope "Shenouda" is the title of the scene, and so it was logical that the long punishment Pope in the days of "Sadat" the last, when it issued in September 1981 its decision to hold the 1531 of public figures of the opposition, not the fate of the Pope's arrest, but was confinement in the monastery in Wadi Natrun, and perhaps the "Sadat" did so to ward off a counter-reaction by the Copts.Mubarak's rule
Held Hosni Mubarak assumed the presidency in the October 14, 1981, where he in 1985 for the release of Almatkulaian who was his predecessor, Sadat arrested and met some of them and was on top of this other, "Pope Shenouda III," and this meeting it became clear that the policy of the President "Mubarak" to avoid a clash in any way with the Copts as a private and was close to the president, "Sadat" by virtue of his office as his deputy.Throughout the period of the rule of President Mubarak did not come out of the Pope's word and the one against the regime or the state, not even against any of its representatives as ministers or government officials, although the nineties and the early second millennium has seen many incidents that are classified as sectarianism among Muslims and Christians inflamed variety between different to build a church or personal differences and unusual storytelling for so long or forced Christianization of Islam .. Every time the pope chose silence or objection to retire in the monastery of St. Bishoy in Wadi Natrun.Pope and the Christian population in Egypt
