Don’t you think that the Iraqi Christians, whatever is left today, would like to turn the clock back and be ruled by Saddam Hussein again?
The Coptic Christians in Egypt have suffered unspeakable persecution. Mothers were rounded up and their babies bashed to pieces in front of them. The whole society is barbaric.
That said, Mubarak is benevalant compared to Hussein, and I believe compared to what Egypt will soon experience.
We’re discussing degrees of Hell.
Believe me, I’m not forming a support group for Mubarak!
My only point being, a Moslem society will only experience social order as it is forced on them.
The Coptic Christians suffered more under Mubarak than Iraqi Christians did under Saddam. Saddam left them alone in many ways.
You know why? Because Saddam was fully in charge in Iraq while Mubarak also tried to suck up to the Muslim Brotherhood just to keep the peace.
Saddam knew that he had nothing to fear from the Christians — Mubarak was willing to sacrifice them. Mubarak was a cowardly a-hole and Egypt will get another one, only this one will be bigger.
