I wonder what would happen if American Conservatves started sending support to the Copts?

Actually, this migh be something that we can throw at Obama and he will have no way of defending against it.

It would be helpfull if there were visuals (PICS) posted along with the print narrative on these reports so FR’s could print them up to go snail mail or email out to others thus getting the word out.

As an interesting side note, the Copts are the remnant of the original Egyptians. The Muslims are the invaders from Arabia. So when you say Egyptian, you are actually refering to the Copts. The disaster of Egypt is just Muslims pretending to be who they took over again. A lot like Iran by the way.

, the only people to be arrested in connection with this latest atrocity against Christianity were Christians themselves—for daring to protect their holiest site against an Islamic attack.

It is a heinous crime under Islamic law for infidels to commit self defense against Moslems..

Lord Jesus, rest the souls of Thy martyred servants with the saints, and let their light be our light.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, with the prayers of St. Evangelist Mark, amen.

The following day, the idolaters tied up the apostle once again with a neck bond and dragged his body through the streets as they had done before. This time they dragged his body until his head separated from his body. Upon this day, St Mark received three crowns, the crown of apostolicity, the crown of evangelism, and the crown of martyrdom. All the while during his torture, St Mark prayed, “Thank you Lord because you have allowed me to suffer persecution and torture for Your Holy Name.” St Mark, near his death, requested that the Lord forgive those who brought about his death, and then departed from his earthly existence.

After St Mark’s martyrdom, the idolaters hurriedly brought firewood to burn his body. A great wind suddenly blew, and a great rain fell and the idolaters in fear scattered. St Mark’s disciples came and affectionately carried his holy body and buried him in the Church which carries his name in Bokalia. St Mark’s blood became the first shed in Egypt and millions of martyrs would follow his example and chose earthly death rather than deny their Lord Jesus Christ.

Makes me sad to see the hardships that middle eastern Christians have to endure at the hands of islam. As luck would have it both my parents grandparents emigrated out of the middle east by boat and built their lives with security in the greatest place in the world.
I truly hope that other christians, conservative middle eastern christians who know and understand the enemy decide to do the same and leave for places like USA, Canada and Australia.

My dad tells me the story of how kissinger prior to the lebanese civil war advised the Maronite Christian president of Lebanon that Christians should really consider leaving lebanon and emigrating to the West where they can live in security and integrate into society. The president rebuffed him saying that its the land of the maronite church and cant be abandoned and will be fought for.
As much as I understand those sentiments, they are meaningless without outside support. It is sad that we as a nation cannot support middle eastern christians but we are more than happy to throw our backing to al qaeda to take over syria, and the muslim brotherhood to take over egypt. We are more than happy to throw our backing to Saudi arabia to crush a rebellion in bahrain where 80% of the population is shiite but ruled by the sunni wahabi sheikhs.
I start to wonder that if the tactic is to consolidate all muslims under one banner and get them all in one fell swoop, but thats just me trying to look on the bright side.

I wonder how long will we serve the interests of sunni extremists in Saudi arabia. I really do hate naive liberals. I wish we could send all the liberals to egypt to live one day in the shoes of the copts and I guarantee at the very least their foreign policy will not be so muslim loving.
