Christian Copts of California: Christians of Egypt are Massacred, and President Mubarak is Still Silent!
Silence means complicity:
The Copts are Egypt’s Christian minority, the original inhabitants of Egypt. Under the rule of President Mubarak, violent attacks against them run rampant.
The escalation of attacks is encouraged by the Egyptian government’s lack of resolve in addressing the problem and adopting a plan of action to stop it at its roots. The climate of hatred is deeply entrenched inEgypt’s mosques, the Egyptian media and the Egyptian educational system. Very seldom, killers of Coptsare apprehended, and when arrested, they are often released for lack of evidence, or given a very light sentence. PR Newswire
Muslim Brotherhood’s New Leader Shows There’s No Hope of Moderation/By Barry Rubin
One zebiba boy replaces another:
Muhammad Badie, a 66-year-old professor of veterinary medicine is the new head of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. Indeed, barring any serious ill health he will probably run the Islamist group for the next ten to twenty years, foreclosing the possibility of any real moderation from that group.
Newly elected Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohammed Badie waves to his supporters during his first press conference in Cairo, Egypt, Saturday, Jan.16, 2010.
Yet since Badie doesn’t want to make any changes in the Brotherhood, he is likely not to make it any more revolutionary either. Clearly, the Brotherhood fears confrontation with the Egyptian government because it knows who would lose. Already, about 1000 members have gone to jail each year and technically the Brotherhood is an illegal organization. If President Husni Mubarak is going to make his own son Egypt’s next president, the Brotherhood will have to shut up and take it.
