"Dead"?
That answer was my first thought when I saw the WSJ crossword puzzle question below -- #84 -- "Christian in Cairo." (The answer fits into a four-letter space.)

I believe the answer they were looking for is "Copt." And if you are a Copt living in Egypt, unfortunately, "dead" is quite likely. (It's a little hard to "Coexist!" and all when a number of Muslims around you are intent on murdering you for not being Muslim -- as the Quran commands them to.)
