Hanna Asaad, a network engineer in Fairfax, Va., grew up in the village of Aloor in southern Egypt. He was able to immigrate to the United States several years ago, but his best friend and cousin, Samuel Alham, sought work as a laborer in nearby Libya, like many other Coptic Christians in the impoverished region.
Shortly after Christmas, Alham and 20 of his fellow Coptic laborers were kidnapped by Islamic State militants in Libya. In mid-February, they were marched to a Mediterranean beach in handcuffs and orange prison jumpsuits. Then they were beheaded with knives as a video camera recorded the gruesome scene.
On Tuesday, Asaad, 29, joined 20 protesters who donned orange jumpsuits and stood outside the White House, then knelt with their hands behind their backs. Behind them, other demonstrators held up photographs of the real victims and the blood-red waves where their headless corpses were thrown.

no not a bit.
Obama is so outraged, that he is speechless.
We’re screwed but they’re really screwed!
White Hut response: “Suck it, Christians!”
Good luck with that. They’ll need it. Or rather, they’ll need divine intervention. No joke.
Buy lots of guns and ammo.
Today.
RE: urges White House action against Islamic State
OK, even if the President were not Obama, realistically, what can the white House do to rescue the Copts?
If the White House takes immediate action against anyone, it will be the Coptic Christians. Followed by the Western Christians.
I wondered how many Christians attended a church where their murders were not even mentioned? If you did, I encourage you to pray about that. Christians in this country need to b outraged, loud, mad, etc...me included!! I am probably out of line....I am just so mad about it!!!
Perhaps some combination of praise of the Lord and begging Him to intervene in this situation.
He might grant the prayer, to show His love and power. There is bible precedent for this. But try to get as right as possible with the Lord before doing it, to remove obstructions to the prayer.
Perfect. It just saddens me that it will not be the lead in the MSM’s networks.
The last thing Coptics want is Obama to act.
Amazing that so much of the world held Obama’s administration in such high regard for so long. With the exception of Israel and a couple others, if the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections were held in any other nation, Obama would have won in a massive landslide. And now the recompense is coming.
But again, the idea of Obama the Messiah was ans still is a truly global phenomenon, and in most nations it is actually more obscene than it is here.
Excellent advice. Thanks.
US policy destroying Libya's government caused the situation. It seems that SISI, who overthrew the government the US installed, is doing what he can to protect Christians in Egypt. The US owes the people who are victims of this Holocaust that, since it never would have happened except for US foreign policy.
Meanwhile, Obama is parading some US military hardware 300 yards from Russia's border. Can't any one in DC get it that (1) O doesn't like powerful guys who defend Christians and (2) he's doing everything he can to destroy Western civilization?
Now, if these weren't Coptic Christians but black thugs gunned down trying to murder innocent CCW holders or cops trying to defend themselves then it would be an entirely different story.
You're kidding, right?
Our country could immediately allow Copts to come to this country as refugees instead of bringing in tens of thousands of filthy muslims every year.
