Insofar as Sharia has been formally and informally enforced on Egypt's Christians, it has been beyond deplorable. How could more of it be an improvement? Oh, but they would do it "right," and this time would be "different." Sharia never works as advertised, but it does work as it was designed -- to dominate and subjugate.
You'll understand if Christians don't appreciate how Sharia "appreciates" them. "Egypt- Salafi youth answer questions on Copts, women, tourism," from MENAFN, December 4:
(MENAFN – Youm7) — After a fierce first phase of Egypt’s parliamentary elections across nine governorates, questions are being asked of Salafi principles regarding Coptic Christians, women and tourism.
The Salafi youth posted on Facebook and tweeted their replies to the questions posed.
Regarding the Copts issue, the youth said Copts are Muslims’ partners in Egypt and Islam appreciates Coptic Christians. They posted, “this appreciation will not be found except under Islamic Sharia.” The youth blamed recent incidents against Copts on those who claim to be protecting Egypt.
As for tourism, the youth noted in a statement that al-Nour party aims to benefit from this sector through tourism like therapeutic and religious tourism and conferences. The youth asked “Why do we make our country a place for the west’s dirt?”
As for being accused of prohibiting political work, they said they offer the best approach for legitimate policy, taken from Prophet Mohamed’s Prophetic Biography and from the Caliphate.
They also said they will apply Article 2 of the Egyptian Constitution which indicates that any law opposing Islamic Sharia will be null and invalid, according to the Supreme Constitutional Court verdict issued in 1996.
I'm sure that the Coptic community is quite reassured by this claptrap, as they hurriedly pack up and seek places of refuge.
Of course Christians are "appreciated" in the Islamic Shari'ah (Qur'an 5:82) but that doesn't mean they are spared of Jihad against them. (Qur'an 9:29) The meaning is clear, just need to have the time to understand the worthless terminology they use.
Maybe Christians are "appreciated" the way a butcher appreciates sheep.
Egypt: Salafi "youths" say Sharia "appreciates" Christians like nothing else
..................................
Pretty similar to the way women are "appreiated" under Shari'ah, as well...
That would be "appreciated".

Paul Bowles On How Muslims Think Of Christians
INTERVIEWER: But isn't there a special psychological dimension to the situation of a foreigner living in Morocco? It seems to me that a foreigner here is often looked upon automatically as a kind of victim.
BOWLES: Well, he is a victim.
'The Moroccans [that is: the Moroccan Muslims - dda] wouldn't use the word.
'**They'd say "a useful object."** {my emphasis - dda: and note, this view of others as things, as objects, not even perhaps as thinking, feeling, sentient beings, but as...furniture...is the ultimate in what psychologists call malignant narcissism. Does one feel empathy for a lump of wood or a plastic doll? }
'They believe that they, as Moslems, are the master group in the world, and that God allows other religious groups to exist principally for them to manipulate.
{in other words: to use and abuse, for fun or profit; as plaything, chewtoy, milch cow, punching bag, scapegoat, and human sacrifice victim = ticket to heaven…as the murdered Infidel’s blood flows, the Muslim gains his entry to paradise - dda}
That seems to be the average man's attitude".
