Fearful for their safety, some Coptic Christians have begun to flee Egypt, according to John Pontifex, spokesman for Aid to the Church in Need.
Offering an overview of recent violence against Christians in the Cairo suburb of Imbaba, Pontifex told Vatican Radio that there is this great fear and great uncertainty that many people feel about the future for Christianity in an area where all the time there are reports coming through of Christians saying, We want to leave, we do not feel safe here.
Only 0.3% of Egypt's 79.1 million people are Catholic, according to Vatican statistics; in all, an estimated 9% of Egyptians are Christian, most of them Coptic Orthodox.

Sadly, I think we're going to see a religious civil war in Egypt. The Muslim brotherhood will win the election, then renounce the peace treaty with Israel..at the same time we'll see mass attacks on Coptic churches..The Copt will arm themselves, and take reprisals..
There are already mass attacks on Coptic churches. That is why people are leaving. My point is that THIS IS A GOOD REASON TO STOP ALL MUZLIM IMMIGRATION to Western countries once and for all.
Sad part is... the Christians were there first.
I presume you mean Israel will deal a devastating response, because 0bama's America will sit in the corner with its thumb up its a**.
Yes, that is what you were able to translate into, but I was using “clean” language. :)
The same thing has been going on in Iraq for years and Syria is soon to follow.
Western elites are importing Muslims to undercut the Christian middle class. That is why the media screams "racist" whenever anyone objects.
What about the Serbs and Roma being driven out of Kosovo?
The Serbs are bloodthirsty enemies of Croats and Slovenes. They have huge Russia for their ally.
The Roma are brigands and thieves.
Next question?
Didn't see that part of the Gospel.
