At the time of the attack, President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi called for the culprits to be held accountable and gave the military a month to restore property damaged during the violence, at no cost to the owners.
A presidential statement issued then praised the role of “glorious Egyptian women” and said “the rights and the protection of their dignity are a humanitarian and patriotic commitment before being a legal and constitutional one.”
El-Sissi has since taking office in 2014 been reaching out to the religious leadership of Egypt’s Christian minority. He attended this month’s Christmas Mass for Egypt’s Coptic Orthodox Church, the country’s main Christian denomination.

Coptics, in the eye of mooslimes, are beneath slave status. They are kidnapped, have acid thrown in their faces and a whole slew of wrongs done to them. I am surprised the pyramids are even standing to this day due to the culture of mooslimes destroying past cultures like the Buddhas and other relics from past civilizations.
