Of course the biggest would be  in Ethiopia  and  Eritrean ,,Copt is frequently applied to members of the Coptic Orthodox Church . Thus Ethiopian and Eritrean Christians  there is always a competition between the Egyptian coptic and the Ethiopean coptic  churches in controlling the  coptic church in Israel , ..

Answer 5

No, copts are only in Egypt. The Coptic church has an Egyptian Coptic Pope. Trust me.

Answer 6

Egypt—7, 500, 00+ (2008 estimate)

United States—300,000+ (2000)

Australia—70,000+ (2003)

Kuwait—65,000 (2005)

United Kingdom—25,000+ (2006)

Canada—25,000+ (2008)

Jordan—8,000+ (2005)

Germany—3,000+ (2005)

Austria—2,000 (2001)

Switzerland—1,000 (2004)

Some estimates are minimized so any number with a + could be much bigger.

There is also a vague number of Copts in Lebanon.

Most Copts are Orthodox but a small minority is Coptic Catholic and Protestant.

Ethiopian and Eritrean Christians were once considered Copts, i.e. members of the Coptic Orthodox Church, before the Patriarch of Alexandria granted Ethiopia its own Church (the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church) in 1950 and then before the Ethiopian Patriarchate recognized the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church in 1993 after the Eritrean War of Independence.

So how about giving me those ten points? :-)
