"Two days after the bombing, on January 3, Hani Shukrallah, the editor of the Cairo daily Al Ahram, who is a Copt by family origin, published an English-language editorial titled "J'Accuse!"

Mr. Shukrallah sounds like an incredibly courageous and intelligent man. I hope he has good security.

Liberalism is a demonic sickness no mater where it is.....even in Egypt.

Excellent Post.

"The United States and the West must support brave modernists who don't want to see their own countries fall back to the Ottoman Empire, five centuries of terror and darkness, as the West forged ahead with the Industrial Revolution."

I agree. Shortly before the fall of the Soviet empire, I had a British college roommate. I asked him why Europe criticized the U.S. so often but we never heard them say anything about the soviets?

His response was instructive: "Oh, we know the Soviets are the bad guys. But we have to live next to them. If America isn't going to lead, we sure as H*** aren't going to."

That's our position in the world. Like it or not. If the strongest fails to lead, few others will hold up the light.

Very good article....

I worked with a Coptic Christian...who lived in Egypt. He told some very interesting stories.

Many thanks to this Egyptian, Hani Shukrallah, for his brave act of speaking out and his message. The killing of Christians and other religious minorities in Muslim majority lands is a clear warning to western nations and the US that our present policy of placating radical Islam will lead to a noose around all our necks.

We need a Reagan style confrontation of the Islamists. We need to identify the “evil empire”. And we need to call out each evil action.

We need to call the bombers of the coptic churches evil, and those in government that stood by and failed to protect them as accomplices to murder, and those that did not denounce it and work against it as accomplices to murder.

A brave editorial. Obama doesn't deserve his office. Neither does any democrat. If you think the government of the United States will support you, you are a fool. Open your eyes. The people in our government only care about amassing personal power. And strangely, minimizing that power by destroying the United States. Believe me, to their everlasting shame, my government doesn't give a d@mn about Christians or Jews anywhere.

This author will be dead soon and is undoubedly in hiding now. I can’t imagine what it is like to be a Christian in one of this filthy, third world toilets, full of lunatic islamofascists. The fear and horror must be incomprehensible.

It is a shame that we have a president who will never stand up for those who only want a bit of peace and freedom. Besides, he is far too busy destroying THIS country to have any time for those he disagrees with in other countries.

Hat's off to Hani Shukrallah. We wish him well. We need more people like him here to confront the Manchurian candidate and his minions.

[redgolum]

Brave man.

Sadly, there are few brave men here. The POTUS has been worried about offending the Saudis for decades now, and we not longer have the will to say NO.

This didn’t start with Obama, or Bush,.
