Egypt Coptic Christians killed in bus attack per BBC News

This BBC report http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-40059307 on the latest massacre of Coptic Christians in Egypt contains this thought:

'The early Church suffered persecution under the Roman Empire, and there were intermittent persecutions after Egypt became a Muslim country. Many believe that continues to this day.'

Many believe? Who seriously doesn't believe that?
