While the world is justifiably concentrating on the Islamist attempts to cross the Israeli border at multiple points, we must not forget what else is going on – both the continuing oppression of the Moslem people by their Moslem governments as well as the Moslem persecution of Christians. From USA Today:
An angry mob attacked a group of mainly Christian protesters demanding drastic measures to heal religious tension amid a spike in violence, leaving 65 people injured, officials said Sunday.
The Christian protesters have been holding their sit-in outside the state television building in Cairo for nearly a week following deadly Christian-Muslim clashes that left a church burned and 15 people dead.
More than 100 people rushed into the sit-in area, lobbing rocks and fire bombs from an overpass and charging toward the few hundred protesters sleeping in the area. Vehicles were set on fire and fires burned in the middle of the street…
The way things are going it seems as though at least some Moslems in Egypt want a bit of “ethnic cleansing” there. While there is this sob story about how Palestinians have lost their land, completely ignored is the fact that the Christians of Egypt are the descendents of the ancient Egyptians…it is the Copts of Egypt, not the Arabs, who are the actual Egyptians. Conquered ages ago and oppressed ever since, we’re now seeing a wave of attacks unprecedented in history.
What are the Christians to do? They can’t get justice – they can’t even get a sense of security which would allow, say, a confidence that their local church won’t be burned next week because some Islamist claims a Christian looked crossways at him. Are all the Christians to leave? Are they to just sit there and take it? What will we do? We’re bombing Libya supposedly to help the innocent…what will we do for the oppressed Egyptians?
One thing certain, until a time comes when a Christian can live in safety in the Moslem world, there will be no true peace.
