1176 CE

Christians in Egypt under Muslim rule are second-class citizens, who pay special taxes and have no access to political power.

The Copts are cut off from the main stream of Christianity, but they are allowed to practice their religion unmolested.

Under the Muslim caliphs and the sultans, Qift has remained one of the chief cities of Upper Egypt.

Al-Adil in 1176 suppresses a revolt by the Christian Copts of Qift, hanging nearly three thousand of them on the trees around the city.
