This does not surprise me at all. They are punishing the Egyptian Christians because they support President Sisi.
He was a great general and Egyptians love him for what he did to remove the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorists. It was never easy, but he did the right thing.
I think it's more accurate to say, they're continuing to persecute and attack Coptic Christians, because that's been the Islamic course of action since the conquet of Egypt by the muzzies. I've noticed that the DNC talking points are to continue to claim that Morsi was the first democratically elected leader of Egypt (what a ridiciulous claim) and that under al-Sisi Egypt has become a huge violator of human rights -- apparently Copts are not regarded as humans by the DNC.
