Well, the remnants of the true Egyptians are still there in their homeland.They are called Copts, their religion is Christianity and they still constitute c. 10% of Egypt's population. The so called "Arab Spring" by bringing everywhere to power ardent Moslems has made their struggle for survival much harder and more desperate than ever with Moslems in the streets given free reins to "run wild, burning churches, murdering Christians, and rampaging through Christian communities".
