The rule that governs the building of churches in Islam, according to the December 1980 issue of Al-Dawa magazine prohibits building churches in the "newly-established" locations and lands that were "forcibly entered" (by Islam). Churches may only be built in the lands that were "benignly entered" with the prohibition still holding for the construction, or rebuilding, of portions of churches that have been eroded or destroyed.

Further, he calls upon the Christian communities to stay put and fight for democracy and human rights in their own countries

Living as second-rate citizens, or rather under a quasi state of dhimmitude, the indigenous Coptic population of Egypt is caught in a vice between fanatic and violent Muslim co-citizens and a complacent regime. Copts in Egypt number about 10 million, or 15% of Egypt’s population. They are very peaceful and have never participated in subversive activities against the government. They have never burned a mosque, nor have they engaged in acts of violence. Click here to view the full-page ad published today in the Washington Times on the Coptic issues
