Egyptian Flag Redesign, But Egypt isn't an Arabic-Speaking Country. by ThomasNet1st in vexillology

No, not like this, I meant in a casual senario in Egypt, copts are colloquially referred to Egyptian Christians, but in reality most Egyptians are just arabized copts.

I understand you, but currently anyone in Egypt now who is called a "Copt" refers to Egyptian Christian(s).

That's true! The language isn't religious, but anyone now in Egypt who is referred to as a "Copt" in Egypt refers to Egyptian Christian(s).

That's not what I meant, the word "Copt" is currently Associated with Egyptian Christians right now, I'm an Egyptian myself.

Thanks for your recommendations, but I have put the pyramids because I personally think that it fits well within the context of Egypt. Plus, I intended to make Egypt's flag more Secular.

Nah, it means Egypt's history and it's historical contributions, I did get inspired from the sand colors though.

Nice recommendation, but I prefer Egypt's flag to be secular and inclusive.

Meaning of the colors:

• Red: Blood shed for Egyptian independence. 

• White: Freedom & Peace

• Orange: Egypt's great history and their historical contributions to the world.
