The Copts are in big trouble.
When Mubarak was the leader everything was fine.
Nobody try to attack them becouse he keep the order.
After Mubarak fall everything ****ed up for them.
Copts churches are attacked daily by muslims.
After the elections the Muslim Brotherhood will probably raise to power(They have radical Islam ideology) and the copts will be in even worse situation.

Pa'li Makto It's not the American revolution, There is no Continental Congress which organize everything.
The protestors had only one common target - remove Mubarak from the goverment - After he gone the "revolution" split up to 100000000000 groups.

Of course not.
Excuse me, I'm not American.
Plus the protesters had many demands:

It really shows just how much you know about the Egyptian People's movement...
Plus the attacks on the Coptic Churches were done by islamists, especially Salafists and plain clothes groups hired by the military who both the copts and average Egyptian can't stand.

As for Mubarak..If you think that there weren't attacks on copts back when he was in power then you mustn't of looked at the news over the last few years. The whole of Egypt have suffered under Mubarak.Except for the richest people and certain islamist groups..You should realise that the islamists don't reflect upon the whole of Egypt's muslim population..They are a minority who actually wanted Mubarak to stay in power.

The revolution is still going. http://www.sa.org.au/index.php?optio...ace&Itemid=386

Sounds like there are police involved in the oppression against the Copts as well..Police who are under the military government of Egypt. The military that followed Mubarak and still have allegiance to him.

By Jeffrey Fleishman and Amro Hassan, Los Angeles Times October 9, 2011, 7:13 p.m. Reporting from Cairo— At least 22 people were killed in clashes between military police and Coptic Christian protesters in the latest eruption of violence highlighting Egypt's deepening sectarian divisions since President Hosni Mubarak was driven from power in February. In the bloodiest unrest since last winter's uprising, authorities said, three soldiers and 19 protesters were killed Sunday when Copts threw Molotov cocktails at riot police outside the state Radio and Television Building in downtown Cairo. The chaos was further inflamed when thugs in plainclothes attacked Copts, some carrying crucifixes, as they marched along the Nile at dusk. The violence escalated quickly and jolted what had begun as a peaceful rally by Christians to protest the recent burning by Muslims of a church in southern Egypt. Copts began hurling bottles and rocks at security forces after military vehicles plowed through demonstrators as gunshots echoed overhead and crowds scattered.
