AN OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT TO ALL NEWS MEDIA
The American Coptic Association, the International Christian Union, and other National and International Human Rights Organizations in and outside of the United States will hold Solidarity Rally on Wednesday, June 27, 2007 in front of the United Nation building between 44th and 45th street in New York City between 12: 00 Noon until 2:00 PM.
The purpose of the rally is to protest the bloodshed, murder and destruction of the property,
recently incurred by the Christian Community in Egypt. Although this has been happening for
many years, these attacks have been intensifying and more frequent. The criminal perpetrators
are using swords to kill, and the government of Egypt looks the other way. This appears to be
a deliberate campaign of ethnic cleansing against the Copts (Christians of Egypt) carried out
by fanatical Muslims and blessed by Mubarak's government!!
Copts are the largest minority in the world without rights! A stable Egypt is very important in
that part of the world. The atrocities facing the Copts exemplify the intolerance by the Mubarak
regime towards non-Muslim minorities. It is therefore the duty of every freedom loving person
to speak out in defense of the persecuted Coptic community, particularly since the Copts in
Egypt are unable to defend themselves or speak out.
Your coverage of this rally is crucial in order to shed a light on the persecution of non-Muslim
minorities in the Middle East. Your participation and subsequent coverage of the rally would
serve as a reminder to those in the Middle East who spread intolerance, hate, persecution and
oppression, that their actions are noticed and condemned. It would support the basic Human
Rights of Middle East minorities such as the Copts and others. We believe that a free media is
the voice of the weak, voiceless, and the oppressed.
Thank you for your anticipated support. For further information please contact:

DO YOU GUYS EVER STOP!!!!!!!
WHETHER COPT OR MUSLIM EGYPTIANS ARE DRUNK WITH RELIGIOUS
FERVOR. THE MUBARAKS ARE NOT FANATICS !!!!!! CAN’T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG……MAYBE EGYPTIANS (COPTS / MUSLIMS) SHOULD STOPING HATEING ONE ANOTHER FOR 3 MINUTES AND LISTEN TO THE WORDS OF JOHN LENNON’S IMAGINE….
YOURS TRULY
AN EGYPTIAN NOT INFLICTED WITH THE GOD DISEASE.
Yeah, we will stop when our blood isn't shed on Egyptian streets anymore. How about that anonymous?
Tell the Islamofascists to stop wielding swords and burning our places or worship - I think they're the ones that could use a little of John Lennon's "Imagine"...not the Christians who are getting butchered.
But I am glad to see that you aren't inflicted with fundementalism. Thank God for that, at least.
BTW - I'm happy to see you back Neferteetiti :)
Ummm, I am finding this hard to believe. Mubarak is a strong ally of our President, and George Bush supports Mubarak. If this was really happening, Bush would have stopped it.
Mubarak isn't a religious nor is his regiem so "islam-loving" at all ; this prosectution to Copts is associated with worse prosecution of islamists ; about ur president he cares only about his own interests for copts in America never stopped complaining of the 80 years old dictator whom u consider ur ally ; may u 1day u wake up
Thanks for your comments everyone
Yes Mubarak is not a true Muslim (whatever that means anyway) but it is quite clear that the government does absolutely nothing to address the rising wave of violence and discrimination against all non Muslims: whether Baha'is, Copts, or those who converted away from Islam

Man I wish I had the time to translate all these for the benefit of our English speaking friends here!

Well I believe in the old adage: He who laughs last, laughs most. And I plan to laugh all the way to Eternal Life with my Lord God’s blessing, love and strength.
we know that punishment for apostasy is disputed in islam ; i read ur comments in free copts and i don't agree with u that being pagan is enough to be slaughtered for by the people of God ; i didn't understand why does god make difference between virgins and non virgins in his punishment? u didn't show me where does quran urges us to kill our brother if he told us to go worship other gods like deuteronomy 13 may u please read this and tell me ur opinion there
http://cloudno5.blogspot.com/2007/08/blog-post_31.html
u should have replied to that who said we consider Copts scum ; we read in our books that we came from these copts ; so tell him to find some pure water to go fishing in :d
i meant that it's funny for u and me or christians and muslims by "us"
1 last question ; how did u know about the glass house ; u wicked 1 ;)

Im inviting you to visit my blog at:

Muslims might disagree over certain details, but the general principle established by Mohammed is clear -- and demonic:
"Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him" (Bukhari Volume 9, Book 84, Number 57).
anonymous and rain drops,
The false moral equivalences you assert between Judaism/Christianity and Islam are easily discredited.
Christ commanded, "Love your enemies," and "Do not return evil for evil."
The command to Ancient Israel was a one-time divine judgment against wicked nations.
There was no universal, open-ended commands to convert, enslave, or kill to make the world Hebrew, which is exactly what you find from Mohammed:
"the Messenger of Allah . . . would say: 'Fight in the name of Allah and in the way of Allah. Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make a holy war. . . . When you meet your enemies who are polytheists, invite them to three courses of action. . . . Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from fighting against them. . . . If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah's help and fight them . . .'" (Muslim Book 19, Number 4294).
"fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war) . . . " (Qur’an 9:5).
"Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued" (Qur'an 9:29).
"Allah's Apostle said: 'I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Apostle . . . '" (Bukhari Volume 1, Book 2, Number 24).
"It is not for any prophet to have captives until he hath made slaughter in the land. Ye desire the lure of this world and Allah desireth (for you) the Hereafter, and Allah is Mighty, Wise" (Qur'an 8:67).
“Allah’s Apostle said, ‘I have been made victorious with terror. The treasures of the world were brought to me and put in my hand’” (Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 220).
