In the video, it looked like 300 worshippers and 500 security men. LOL.
His remarks indicated he showed up suddenly, giving the Islamists no time to gather to kill him.
Those padres sure look happy. And the old one on the left was part of the political process during the uprisings in Cairo.
Egypt often sets the tone for much of the Mideast. With 80 million Egyptians, they are the big dog.
Yes, it was plain that he had a LOT of large security people all around him, LOL.
And you are right, the Coptic Hierarchy were also brave during the uprising against the Muslim Brotherhood, including the Patriarch appearing on TV with Sisi and supporting him.
And the emotions were something that I noticed as well. Compare how genuinely happy Sisi appears to be with the Christians (and they with him) with how he appears with the Muslim clerics in the other video.
