The election of the Muslim Brotherhood's Mohammed Mursi to the Egyptian presidency marks tough times ahead for Egypt's minority Christians. Or rather, even tougher times... Egypt's Christians have experienced considerable danger and violence in recent months and years. But the Mursi presidency threatens to take the situation to a whole new level. For example, it has been reported that prior to the election Mursi told a journalist that the second Islamic conquest was underway, while Christians would be forced to convert, pay tribute or leave the country.
Details of what was actually said are murky, with some commentators unsure that Mursi, seeking to woo Egyptian voters, would speak so candidly. But such views are widely held within the Muslim brotherhood, and it does not bode well for the country's besieged Christians. It is important therefore, for Christians throughout the world to pray for their safety and ensure they keep informed of the situation to advocate effectively on Egyptian Christians' behalf.

It is is a shame that our own Western governments don't put more pressure on Islamic states to uphold the rights of Christians in the Middle East. But then increasingly they don't care about such rights in the west either.
Why did you and your fellow Zionists not show the whole video? Why was it abruptly interrupted? Was there something else he said which you and those whom you serve wish to hide?

As if you care for true Christians!
Which video? I'm afraid neither "my fellow Zionists", "those whose agenda I peddle" (whoever they are) or myself are quite sure what you refer to.
Feel free to post comments by all means, but please keep them relevant and civil. I might be forgiven, given what you write and how, for thinking you hate Jews. But of course I don't want to fall into the trap of claiming to read your mind or motives, as you have done.
Your attitude doesn't strike me as Christian, which perhaps explains why you have so little time for the suffering of Christians in the Middle East.
You don't know which video I am talking about? Strange, it is the one where your headline reads: PA Mufti on Killing Jews.
What's strange is posting a comment about it in this thread so no one knows what you're talking about. Post a comment in the correct thread and then maybe someone will respond.
