my youngest aged 8 has a new boy in his class, darker skin, speaks with accent
I saw his mother and heard her talking to her mother and it sounded more like Arabic.

I asked her where she was from and she said Egypt and so I asked her when did she move over and she replied a month ago.

I was interested and I sat down with her talking and she told me she was a coptic Christian and that she escaped with her family due to muslims and their violence.

She told me about all the uprising, the western media who she said was not telling all the truth and how the country is now.

She said it was awful over there and that Christian men now are patrolling their areas, guarding their churches and that they feel betrayed by this administration and our media.

I asked her why she moved here to my town and she replied it is well known that my town St Augustine was the first place where the Christian prayer was ever said and that they wanted a Christian town to live in as her religion was very important to her and her family.
I was shocked as I know this was the first place where a prayer was ever said but I did not know they knew over there considering most over here have no clue.
She even knew the over 200 foot cross we have at the sight of the first prayer.

Luckily she had relatives in FL and so could escape and do the paper work but many cannot get over here.

Thank you so much for that beautiful, but also sad story. God bless that woman and her family. Yes. She has also told you what my friend has told me about how the media lies and the government lies and condones and now outright killing. The courage of the Christian there is amazing, but also glad she had the ability to come here for her and her families safety.

Yes. As you mentioned where is our media on this? Where is the outrage?

The UN recognized an illegal Muslim government on the Ivory Coast. They would not accept the government that the Ivory Coast high courts recognized as legal. The Christians are also getting killed there and we do nothing, not even condemn these murdering Muslim governments.

I have a friend from Tunisia who was all excited by the Arab Spring there. If I ask her, how it is going in Tunisia, she will not answer, so I’m not sure how it is there, but I think her silence is her coping mechanism. Her dreams for her country are not coming true.
