American Indians ARE claiming things which aren't theirs and styming anthropological research to boot. Then, there are the tribes demanding ( and often getting ) old Indian artifacts, from museums and burying them/sticking them away, where no one can study them or even appreciate them. It's a dog in the manger attitude and does no one any good at all.

The " sword of Islam " did, indeed, carry on genocide. Again, facts and history matter; learn some...please.

Then you'd really be pissed off at the 2001 Supreme Court decision that ruled that the Shipwrecked Spanish Galleon Juno (Shipwrecked off the coast of Virginia in 1802) and all its contents actually belongs to Spain. Spain also won custody of another shipwrecked vessel of theirs, La Galga. Other disputes are still in the courts, but the 2001 decision paves the way for the return of lost property to the rightful country.

Facts and history matter, so I ask you to learn 'em.
Fact: Copts are not Arabs.
Fact: Copts are descendents of Christian fellaheen, descendents of the ancient Egyptians.
Fact: Their culture is derived from the ancients.
Hence, the Arab 'genocide' was more like the natives getting absorbed and absorbing the conqueror's culture, like the Gauls under the Franks.
