Just as I was sitting down to write a post about the international holocaust day (was yesterday) one of my alerts went red and I red this
Like in the good old days this riot just started with a rumor, some Christian had posed with a nude Muslim woman, they say, and that is just about enough to trigger thousands of Gods faithful believers to loot and set fire to shops of another faith, damage property and of course try to go for even yet more damage and get some blood on the floor, because a good old scapegoat can not go un-noticed in todays post revolution Egypt.
The state of affairs for the Coptic Church in Egypt is quickly moving from the occasionally lethal to the seriously dangerous, you got to admire the courage of the ones staying in this country, and hope for a better life for the many who fled to the U.S. as a part of a very silenced transfer of a population out of a country in which they have now become living targets.
One can not but wonder how those who initiated this “revolution” a year ago, many of whom are secular, feel about the changing winds, to see this country and its revolution highjacked but religious fanatics who want to violently forever change the face of Egypt, and to think that the Western world stood and cheered these people…
