The Copt's Monasteries in Egypt Should Be Confiscated, Downsized, Taxed or Shared 50-50 With Muslims

The Copts in Egypt are extremely arrogant and have many privilages that Moslems can't remotely think of them. Now the Copts have an empire of monstaries in Egypt that are basically country inside a country. All this should be stopped immediately and the government should look into them. Options should include outright
Confiscation, Downsizing, get taxed or shared 50-50 With Muslims.
This abuse has been going on for long time and should come to an end.
