It was a majority all right.

The name “EGYPT” actually came from “GYPT,” pronounced “GEPT” till today in Upper “Southern” Egypt. It means “COPTS.”

OK, no arguement there. But America, a nation founded by Christians, on the idea of religious freedom for Christians, who enshrined God everywhere in it’s documents and buildings, is filled with muslims, satanists, wiccians, Zoroastrians, Rastafarians, Hindus, Bhuddists, Shinto followers and machine fetishists.

Egypt had plenty of variety as well. That’s all I’m saying. And many, including Copts themselves, went on to become muslims. The only ‘identifiable’ or ethnic group of people in the whole area there to my knowledge, without mass defection/embracing Islam, were the Jews. Because of those defections, Muslims swept the Middle East.

Etymology of “Egypt.”

Pretty obviously Copt comes from Egypt, not the other way around, especially because the word goes back to before Christianity.
