In just a few days from now, pope francis will fly to egypt to offer his personal support to egypts Coptic Christians. Hell find a community filled with apprehension, targeted byjihadist extremists, and subject to persistent discrimination and sectarian violence. Elsewhere in the middle east, in syria and iraq, the plight of christians is even worse. My guest today is the general bishop of the Coptic Church in the uk, bishop angaelos. Do christians have any future at all in the middle east . Bishop angaelos, welcome to hardtalk. Thank you. Do you think there is something substantively different about the nature of the threat faced by Coptic Christians in egypt today . Because they have faced threats for many, many years. Yes.

And think that is why it has shocked the Egyptian Community
