Napoleon was also very sensitive to the power of Islam, trying hard to show respect for it to the point of hinting that he himself was a Muslim.

'Hinting' huh? Sounds like he was lying through his teeth, so obviously he WAS a 'good Muslim' since he had this requirement down pat.

****"What could be made of that beautiful country in 50 years of prosperity and good government!" ****

That goes double for the entire Continent of Africa.

Who wrote the following lines of hope about Egypt's future: "What could be made of that beautiful country in 50 years of prosperity and good government!"

Well, the headline kind of gave the answer away.

At the Napoleon's time still large if not majority of Egyptian population was Christian. Lebanon which remained a Christian country for much longer was quite prosperous.
