The Copts in Egypt are a despised minority with no power, no guns, and no organization.
He so played into the hands of the Muslim Brotherhood / Egyptian government that there is rampant speculation that his is a Muslim pretending to be a Coptic Christian pretending to be Jewish.
As to what goes down in Egypt and what they do with the Coptic Christians there - I think we should have already shut off the money we send to them; condemned the treatment of the media, their people, and their ethnic Christian minorities; and covertly helped the Coptic Christians to be an ARMED minority within Egypt.
Right now the money we send to them finances the government that whipped up the mob against us - and finances the oppression and murder of the Coptic Christians.
