    The comfortable, suburban Christians who are sitting in their armchairs and tut-tutting at us for being so uncharitable as to hold a Muhammad cartoon contest should take careful note of this. Islamic law asserts authority over non-Muslims. To send the signal that we will submit to Sharia blasphemy laws regarding drawing Muhammad, even if we are doing so out of a misguided sense of “respect,” will only embolden Islamic supremacists to make more demands. The endpoint of these demands is shown in this incident in Egypt. These comfortable, suburban Christians in the West are ensuring a future of harassment, persecution,...

    Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood’s governing majority, is not actually crucifying the nation’s Christians. But they are nonetheless actively persecuting Coptic Christians who are said to be one-tenth of the population of the largest Arab country. A photograph of two young men set afire during recent demonstrations is pretty striking. … Police used tear gas against the Copts. It is tear gas sold to Egypt by American firms. In addition to foreign aid—most recently a $250 million increase offered by Sec. of State John Kerry—our State Department has approved sale of this “non-lethal” crowd control agent to the Muslim Brotherhood governing party....

    As we continue to fund the Islamic world, the persecution of Christians continues without our government saying a word. How about you President Obama, will you say anything about this on your next trip to Cairo? Of course you wouldn't. Because you just don't care.
