The attack on the Askariya Shrine in
When this propaganda machine screamed that Arab-Israelis were treated as second class citizens, all we had to do was point to the Copts in
When this same propaganda machine screamed that the Israelis ethnically cleansed Palestinians from their homes, all we had to do was point at Saddam's actions towards the Kurds and the Marsh Arabs, who were victims of systematic ethnic cleansing campaigns....
And now, when this propaganda machine screams that the Israelis and the West are deliberately targeting Islam by desecrating its prophet and holy sites, and plotting to blow up the Dome of the Rock or nuke
Typical Arab Response: Hey let's go protest against those damn Danes, and destroy some Churches while we're at it!!! What do you say?!?!

Agreed.
I was unaware Coptic Christians in Egypt are barred from building churches. Is this a restriction by law or by reality of their Muslim compatriots harassing them? Please point me to more information, this is an issue that must be made more important...
yaman -
they are barred by law - in that they must obtain governmental permits in order to do so. A shame, considering there are more than six million of them in egypt.
They're more than 10 million in egypt. Most live in the Sa3eed region, on the southern and fertile nile bank. The sa3eed is nearly split evenly between muslims and copts, who believe in the unity of the two natures of christ (they're not monophysite, though)
The government license is nearly impossible to get.
Also, out of the 430 members of the parliament, only 3 are from the Coptic faith, and none in the government. During Sa3d Zaghlul times, out of the 9 government members, 2 were copt. Talk about back peddling
Raja,
I totally agree with you on the gravity of injustices committed within the Arab world. But do we need to belittle the plight of Palestinians in order to realize that?
Please, no one tell me that it's a "conspiracy" of some sort concocted by the Americans and Israelis.
Too bad Doha! You're gonna hear it anyway.
