In four to five sentences, analyze and describe the positive effects multiculturalism has had on egypt.

The fact that they have an important Christian Coptic minority has forced them to be relatively more tolerant of other non- Islamic religions. Since a minority of Egyptians in the southernmost part of the country is of black descent (Nubians), Egyptians have been forced to be relatively more tolerant of other darker races that are also Egyptians. The role of women in society is slowly evolving and somewhat improving and since people of other religions and ethnicities do acknowledge their women more rights than Egyptian Muslims do, mainstream Egyptian Muslims have been confronted to different outlooks on gender relations and have been forced to evaluate their own treatment of women. The fact that they also have a Berber minority that lives in the western part of the country and speaks its own language (Berber) and has its own Berber culture has forced Egyptians to acknowledge that they are not ethnic Arabs in a monolithic way but that the reality of their origins is far more complex.  Finally, most Egyptians understand English and French and other languages and are under the age of 30 and thus they are more connected to the global cyber community and that is challenging their worldviews about many issues, including the treatment of women and other minorities and the place of religion in their lives.
