This study takes an objective to arrange another beginning step to understand competition for hegemony and procedure of conflict and recovery from volatile Arab society by field survey research about intermarriage which is considered as an indicator of social integration in Arab society. This study was conducted based on survey about Muslim- Coptic Christian marriage in Egypt where Muslim make up the majority of the population, but Coptic Christianity, one of the Monophysitism Christianity, settle down as a minority denomination since the beginning of Christianity history. The survey proceeded in Cairo. The questionnaire collected a total of 473, of which 420 questionnaires were used, excluding 53 that were insufficient. The data executed frequency analysis and cross analysis with the SPSS 23.0 Korean edition, and used chi-square test method mainly as a statistical test method and independent sample t test method (each significance level p<0.05) in some cases. We could verify the fact that Egypt’s religious conflicts share the history of Christianity-Islam and are still a major impediment to a stability of Egyptian society. Also, in Egypt, Muslim-Coptic Christian marriages are considered to be socially taboo, so it can be predicted that social cohesion between two denominations will be considerably difficult. Even though there are quite a few researches dealing with Egyptian society, It can be said that this study is original that it looks the prospect for social integration based on following feature. It is hard to find study about religious mixed-marriage.
