It’s great that finally one of the Bishops in the Coptic Church have the courage to tell the truth. Most of the Bishops do not know what to do about the onslaught of persecution unleashed on the Christians in the last forty years, so they either keep quite or even cover up for the atrocities committed by fellow Muslims.
Things went from bad to worse, it started with civilian Muslims killing Christians such as the massacres in El Zawya El Hamra in 1981 and other villages such as El Koshhe in 2000. At the end of Mubarak’s regime we have the Christmas massacre in 2010 and the Alexandria Church Bombing on New Year eve 2011. But the Military rule have opened the door wide to all kind of civilian and Government persecution. Under their rule, three Churches were totally demolished tens of Christians massacred, and to top it off, the military and radical Muslim thugs massacred 27 Christians on Sunday, October 9 who were engaged in a peaceful demonstration protesting the demolish of a Church in Aswan. This is one of the fruits of Obama’s appeasement of radical Muslims.
