Unlike most countries counqerred by islam Egypt has remained subbornly a Coptic majority country and region through out its history. I don't know quite why efforts to convert the Majority coptic population failed so bad dispite being ruled by an islamic elite from the conquest to Nassers over throw. The country never once became more then 20% muslum at its hight, and during Nassers reign it was a mear 5%.
What caused this? Was it the civil wars between shia and sunni? A more tolerant Egypt? A stubborn Egyptian pride that never quite fell to their conquerers? I do not know but this fact has to have changed world history some how.
So what would our world look like if the great mass of the people of Egypt had converted to Islam how would that change the world?
