Comments by "Sandy Tatham" (@sandytatham3592) on "Spot the difference: Cairo metro station mural criticised for ‘plagiarism’" video.
Egypt is still a Muslim-majority country but Islam is becoming weaker everywhere. Egypt depends upon foreign tourism and it's a good idea to portray its ancient cultures as well as those which invaded and occupied. Maybe the next mural can be a Coptic Christian one to provide more diversity?

@rory6860 : There is a growing trend everywhere for people to become less religious. This includes the trend for those born into Muslim families to leave Islam. Lots of Ex-Muslim organisations have sprung up in the last ten years to support them. I'm in Turkiye now and Erdogan is struggling to retain his following, though I agree that about a third of the people here still have strong faith in Islam. Birth rates are falling in Muslim-majority countries. Most converts leave Islam after a few years but you don't hear about that because they know they could be punished for apostasy. People today are questioning what they've been told. They can do their own research because we have the internet. I want everyone to have the #freedom to choose for themselves, and for all people to be equal under the law.
