End U.S. Military Aid To Egypt, and Other Oppressive Islamist Countries

Non-military aid should be conditional and performance based.

An Obama-Mubarak Endowment Fund?

A new endowment fund officially called "The United States Egyptian Friendship Foundation". 

Something that will definitely be bad for U.S. taxpayers as well as Egyptians.

 Now consider the following:

"My main driving force is I want to prove to people the amount of persecution that Muslim converts and Christians face here [Egypt], and that the persecution has been going on for 1,400 years."-El Gohary

And he should know. From the Persecution Blog:

"For nearly two years, El-Gohary and his teenage daughter have been living in hiding because he abandoned Islam and embraced Christianity. During this time he has been beaten and forcibly detained, and his daughter has been attacked. He has had to endure death threats, poverty and crushing boredom."

"Asked what gets him through the constant pressure of living on the run, El-Gohary said he wants to show the world how Christians are treated in Egypt."
read the rest here. 

The U.S. currently provides about 1.5 $ billion in military aid to Egypt. Approximately $50 billion since 1979.

Though Egypt and Israel signed a "peace" treaty, it is a cold-peace. When Egypt conducts military exercises, the exercises are conducted with the view of Israel as the enemy. 

In addition to over a $ billion in U.S. military aid to Egypt there is now a "United States Egypt Friendship Endowment" whereby the U.S. taxpayer pays for $ millions in non-military aid to Egypt.
