I think it's probably easier for a foreigner, especially a foreign Christian, to relate to the plight of the oppressed and the persecuted in a country like Egypt where such transgressions are common and considered socially acceptable, than it is for somebody living within the country whose mind has been poisoned by that disgusting cultural dynamic.

It is sad enough that Egypt has its share of bigots and criminals and hate mongers the like of the so called sheikh abu-Islam (the agent of the despicable wahhabis and who should do some real work for a change than spread hate!) but Egyptians at the end are all Copts some are Muslims and some are Christians (even the prophet called Egypt Bilad al-Qibt) but at the end they are the same people and we should teach our children such fact and that hate is unaccepted Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-74155457947743004222013-03-17T14:41:37.617+02:002013-03-17T14:41:37.617+02:00Actually for Egyptian Christians it is not offensi...Actually for Egyptian Christians it is not offensive because it is a sign of co-existence in Egypt the crescent with the cross. <br />Already realistically speaking Ezzat's rights were not be restored expect when Muslims in Egypt stand for these lost rights. <br /><br />Zeinobiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12290387395565291310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-62576206355029125332013-03-17T08:56:28.087+02:002013-03-17T08:56:28.087+02:00If you're a Muslim it's not offensive, but...If you're a Muslim it's not offensive, but to a Christian like Ezzam -- murdered by Muslims for being a Christian -- it might have been very offensive.<br /><br />Do you really need that explained to you?

Doesn't seem that difficult a concept. Maybe if Egyptians understood things like this a little better there wouldn't be such a massive problem with persecution of religious minorities in Egypt.<br /><br />Anyway, a more fitting show of solidarity would be to bring the perpetrators to justice and ensure they get the punishment they deserve. But that won't happen. It doesn't even happen in Egypt, when Egyptian Muslims victimize Christians.

The salafists, whether in Egypt or Libya or any other Arab country, are the partners of the Muslim Brotherhood. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they quietly approved of mistreatment of Egyptian Christians in Libya. They certainly don't seem to have much problem with mistreatment of Egyptian Christians in Egypt, do they?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
