How were the Muslims and Christians different?

In Terms of Daily Life

They just differ in their ritual worship styles. They feel as one entity and sharing good morals and a love of their home countries. Christians and Muslims have protested together in the Arab Spring and share the same personal aspirations (i.e. get a job, raise a family, maintain dignity, etc.)

In Terms of Legal Issues

However, as concerns the law, Christian Arabs do not find themselves in the same position as Muslim Arabs. If Egypt is used as an example, the Christians, while Egyptian citizens, do not have the same legal protections in certain cases (such as the lack of the Christian right to build new or repair old churches while Muslims can easily build and repair mosques) and in other cases where the laws place Christians and Muslims on equal footing, there is a tendency to treat the Christians as inferior (such as property law). Christians are also expected not to openly drink wine (such as in restaurants that are exposed to the street or in other public places) and not to openly eat pork to avoid offending Muslims. Proselytization to Christianity is also forbidden by law, even though Islamic proselytization on Christians is permitted.
