Notes
The modernization experience in Egypt, which began at the beginning of the nineteenth century, is a unique experience that affected the components of Egyptian society and its social fabric in all political, economic, social, cultural, and religious fields. Hence, we aim in our study to focus on the impact of modernization on the Copts during the period 1805-1879 and its repercussions on their general conditions, especially their social and religious conditions, and how the policy of tolerance and non-discrimination pursued by the rulers of Egypt contributed to spreading the spirit of citizenship and equality among all components of Egyptian society. Social change for any society occurs through the issuance of a set of laws that aim to bring about real change in society, which is reflected through a set of policies pursued by the ruler to express an actual desire to make change, especially if this society is suffering from economic, political and social crises that have affected all of its citizens and led to real change in the structure of society and thus actual modernization that is reflected in the components of society in Egypt. The Ottoman administration in Egypt in the nineteenth century was not based on social structures. Rather, the rulers of Egypt, starting from the governor Muhammad Ali Pasha and ending with Khedive Ismail, were the first to notice the importance of that social structure based on equality in rights and duties, in addition to the policy of tolerance that they followed, and it became among the priorities of the rulers of Egypt in dealing with the subjects. During that historical period, the rulers of Egypt during the period 1805-1879 were able to give the Copts a greater role to integrate into society and opened the way for them to be closer with their Muslim citizens. This measure enabled them to consolidate their authority and move forward towards consolidating the pillars of their modern state and created a balance based on imposing the authority of law and justice in dealing with all citizens regardless of religion, nationality, or sect.
