Egypt was conquered by Arab armies in 642. Its Islamization was accomplished, as I detail in my book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, by placing the humiliating and discriminatory regulations of dhimmitude upon the native Christian population. Those regulations had their intended effect: Egypt was 99% Christian at the time of the conquest, and is now around 10% Christian.
Those Christians who still live in Egypt are subjected to the constant threat of incidents such as this one.

“Suicide bomber tries to attack a Coptic Christian church in Egypt only to blow himself to pieces when security guards approach,” by Debbie White, Mailonline, August 11, 2018 (thanks to Robert):
A suicide attack against a Coptic Christian church north of Cairo failed today when the bomber blew himself up when security guards approached him.
The man had been walking among churchgoers, while wearing an explosives belt, and tried to enter the building in the Mostorod district in Qaliubiya province.
But heightened security around the church prevented him from reaching his intended target, state media and security sources said.
He detonated the explosives about 250 meters (275 yards) from the church, killing himself. No other fatalities were reported.
The bomber was forced to detonate his suicide belt as a result of the heavy police presence around the church, state media reported.
He was hiding the explosives under a fluorescent vest, state-run newspaper Akhbar el-Youm said.
No group has as yet claimed responsibility for the attempted attack….
