Egypt's Ministry of Endowments just announced a new record: in the last six months, yet another 964 mosques were opened, costing Egypt more than 21 billion pounds since 2014.
Today there more than 150,000 mosques in Egypt. The total number of prayer halls is easily tenfold that number—meaning almost 1.5 million.
The total number of churches and monasteries for all Christian denominations in Egypt, including those “licensed” since the issuance of the 2016 Law for Building and Restoring Churches, is currently estimated to be about 5800.
There is one mosque or prayer hall for every 40 or so Muslims, but only one church or monastery for every 2,400 Christians.
That’s a 1:60 ratio of blatant discrimination.
Moreover, 22 billion Egyptian pounds are annually paid to Al Azhar, which has a parallel educational system, or madrasa, from KG to university, with over 2.8 million pupils and students.)
Conversely, not only does Egypt make it immensely hard for Christians to open or maintain churches, but the government does not contribute a single penny to their survival. Churches are even required to pay their utility bills, which no mosque in Egypt does, as the government happily picks up their bill.

People often refer to these types as ‘Big Eva’ (Big Evangelicalism) and thanks almost exclusively to Megan Basham’s unyielding pursuit of the truth, we now know that these “Christian leaders” and “pastors” platformed, praised, hosted on their podcasts, and drooled over Francis Collins as a hero, “brother in Christ”, and according to David French, “a national treasure.” As Editor in Chief of Christianity Today, Russell Moore appreciates the “Christian humility and grace of Francis Collins” and said “I can’t wait to see how God uses him next.” Before his death, Pastor Tim Keller thought Collins was sort of like the prophet Daniel. The new Dean at Talbot School of Theology at Biola University, Ed Stetzer, believes Collins ...
“In our capital [Budapest], Jewish families and Jewish communities are safer than anywhere in Europe. There is no other European country where Jewish communities living in the capital enjoy even a comparable sense of security to what they experience in Budapest.”

‘It has been over a decade since Western media began (and continues) to demonize Orbán for his uncompromising position against migration. This passage of time is useful, as it allows us to look back and evaluate Orban’s logic for rejecting migration in light of what has actually happened over the last ten years.’
