Muslim Converts as Prominent copts!

There are few names of muslim convert to Christianity from Egypt who were added to the "prominent copts" which I don't know why? Queen nazly and Magdi allam converted to Roman Catholicism not even coptic catholicism and they did that after leaving egypt. Mohammed hegazy is just a guy who practiced his basic right of choosing his own faith. I don't know why he is prominent? Frankly I'm intimidated by that, as if don't have prominent copts and we are just padding the list or as if we are scoring points against muslims!! so immature! we are much better than that —Preceding unsigned comment added by Coptic ray (talk • contribs) 03:12, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I see what you mean. We should definitely get rid of the guys are Roman Catholics and not Coptic Catholics. And, even then, the Catholic Copts are really only ethnic "Copts". In a religious context, they are technically not "Coptic" as that would usually just refer to the Orthodox; as well, the Catholic and Protestant Egyptians—especially the latter—have abandoned a lot of the customs in the Coptic Church, thus being one of the reasons that distuingish them from the Copts. Even while there is not a lot of them, the "Coptic" Evangelicals and other Egyptian Protestants have converted few people, and quite surprisingly, a lot of them were Muslims—not even Copts to begin with. There needs to be a way to properly differentiate between "Roman Catholic" converts, "Coptic" Catholics and "Egyptian" Protestants in a way that doesn't confuse the identities. ~ Troy (talk) 19:45, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that we should remove those who are not Copts. Copts are, in fact, are not Arabs, they are their own group. I am going to remove the Muslims-turned-Christian people because they are not Copts, they are Arabs, and they don't follow the neither of the 2 Coptic denominations. Have any problems.

Any updates on this? Has Boutros-Ghali complained over unauthorized use of his image? Mwahcysl (talk) 12:13, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This list has too many redlinks

This list has too many redlinks. It does not appear to be a notable list per se. It therefore must be justified as a navigational aid, meaning that the majority of linked names are blue links (linking to an article or a section of an article) or are links to articles that someone intends to create. This means in effect that every individual entry must be independently notable. A directory of all Copts is not allowed. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 09:15, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
