Egypt has the largest Christian population in the Arab World, about 10 percent of the nation’s 85 million people. But the Christian community is a minority in an overwhelmingly Muslim country, and its relations with Muslims remain strained, even after the Arab Spring. The Salam Center, is located in one of the poorest areas of Cairo.
