→Egyptians are not Arabs
This article is a disgrace not only because the plight of Coptic Christians are inadequately mentioned, but also because it portrays all Egyptians as Arabs! I have already corrected the part about "Arab" identity. Egyptians are simply not Arabs! Especially Egyptian Copts. End of story. [[User:Acampbell|Acampbell]] 21:06, 12 September 2008 (EDT)

::Depends how one defines "Arab." Looking at it from a linguistic anthropologist's point of view, they most probably are. [[User:AliceBG|AliceBG]] 21:13, 12 September 2008 (EDT)

::Technically what you say is true, although they are usually considered a part of the "Arab world". Most of this article comes from a government website and so it is going to contain a perspective looking through a modern United States government lense - including our foreign policy choices of the last few decades and how the world is viewed. Feel free to add constructive information. Yes, the Copts are facing serious troubles, and there is certainly room for that to be added in a way that can be educational for our readers.
