Ancient Egypt had nothing to do with Islam.
Correct and the Coptic Christians Living in Egypt predate Islam by 650 Years.
Further, Most of the Iraqis are really Chaldean and Assyrian Christians forced under pain of death to convert to Islam long ago.. That is why they don’t look like your typical Arabs..In Fact there is fairly large Group of “Muslims” Just on the edge of Southern Kurdistan who were Jews forcibly converted. They with few exceptions have always lived peaceably with the Chaldean and Assyrian Christians still remaining in Iraq.

Greece is more eastern than western. It’s the crossroads between worlds. (Eastern not meaning Islamic, of course)
