Egyptian Copts are up in arms following the suspicious death last Monday of a Coptic Christian in a Libyan prison.

Sure the Copts are raising hell about the way they are treated by the Muslim Brotherhood now running Egypt.

They should also be pissed that Obama, and John Kerry are suborning and encouraging this treatment by sending the Brotherhood more planes tanks and our money.

No surprise here. It seems that every Muslim-majority nation where the US intervenes, Christians become more persecuted than before.

1970s
Pakistan
East Timor

1980s
Lebanon
Afghanistan

1990s
Yugoslavia - Bosnia/Kosovo, etc.

2000s
Iraq
Egypt
Libya
Syria

Obama and Kerry are midwifing a new United Islamic Republic of Egypt, Libya and Syria. They couldn’t care a rat’s arse what happens to Christians. Could you imagine the MSM reaction if a Muslim were tortured to death in a European or American prison? Face it. The Democratic Party and its allies in the MSM abhor Christianity.

Muslims killing Christians, there’s a shocker.
Leave it to the Mussy in Chief to send Egypt the weapons and money to do it with.

And obama’s defense of his “brotherhood” is proably, “what difference does it make?”
