[Does Zakah state collection apply to Muslims only ?]

Fatawa Question

As-Salmu `Alaykum. In a Muslim country which has a non-Muslim population like Egypt, would the collection of Zakah at the same rate of 2.5 % of annual savings apply only to Muslims ? What about needy Christian citizens ? Should it be the responsibility of the state or the responsibility of local churches ?
