640: Division of Egypt Upon Muslim Conquest: Copt, Abyssinian, Nubian & Israelite indistinguishable (jan 1, 640 – jan 1, 641)
Description:
When the Muslims entered Egypt the land was divided into two sects and those were divided by race and religion.300,000 Greek Melkites made up one group and the rest of Egypt (Copts, Nubians, Abyssinians, and Israelites).'
“One could not distinguish Copt from Abyssinian, Nubian or Israelite; and they were all Jacobites.”
Marriage between the Melkites and the rest of the population was prohibited due to mutual hatred.
