Re: Any Hindus in Egypt???

[Firouz]

Dear Hajir,

As far as I know there is no Egyptians living in Egypt or anywhere else 
who have any other religions other than Islam, Christianity, or Judaism. 
Of course now there Baha'i Egyptians.
There might be Hindus or Buddhists working or living in Egypt for 
Business or what so ever reason but they are not citizens of Egypt. Here 
we're talking about Egyptian ID card. As you know if any of these 
Buddhists or Hindus would ever marry to an Egyptian Muslim, they have to 
change their religions and become Muslims.

Best regards,
Firouz

Re: Any Hindus in Egypt???

[Scott Saylors]

I don't know what the modern numbers might be, but back during the British 
control and influence in Egypt and Palestine there were large numbers of Hindus 
and Sikhs doing business in Egypt and through out the Middle-East. They were 
largely involved in import and transport largely in products to and from 
India--tea and spices going into Egypt and cotton and specialty goods going TO 
India. I should imagine descendants of those families would still be there.
   
  Regards,
  Scott

Any Hindus in Egypt???

[Hajir Moghaddam]

Does anyone know if there are any Hindus or Buddhists in Egypt, and if so, what 
would they use to identify themselves if the only 3 options are Jewish, 
Christian, and Muslim (there is not even an other category)?  I cannot believe 
that out of 70 or so million people there are no Hindus from India living 
there.  Are they all on a working visa and not citizens of Egypt?  I tried to 
search population demographics of Egypt and didn't find anything other than 
that there are Zero 0 Buddhists in Egypt. 
   
  Thanks,
  Hajir
