This document outlines a research project comparing relations between Coptic Christians and Muslims in Egypt from 1990 to 2011. The researcher aims to analyze how the relationship has changed over time by looking at factors like terrorist attacks, population numbers, economic status, politics, national identity, and media coverage. Based on preliminary research, the conclusion is that the relationship has slowly deteriorated in recent years, with a rise in attacks and disagreements in late 2010. Potential causes hypothesized include economic inequality, an increasing Islamic national identity, shifting politics, and greater media attention to tensions. The researcher plans to continue studying how the recent resignation of President Mubarak may further impact Christian-Muslim relations in Egypt.
