The Anger Of Egypt’s Copts Extends to Lebanese Christians

Many Lebanese Christian politicians have been making diplomatic noises of protest against the unfair treatment of Egyptian copts.

But when I want to read raw Christian anger, nobody scratches my itch better than my buddy Elie:

It is strange […] how so many people in the region are silent about such important issues like that of Christian persecution. For many so called “leftists” and “activists” in the Arab world, and outside, the trend is to fight the big bad evil “West” which is seen as “Christian”, constantly stating it is they who oppress. Yet many of them fail to bring up the Middle Eastern Christians’ plight because it is shows hypocrisy in their own cause: Arab society also carries out oppression. “Leftists” and “activists” hold rallies in support of Palestinians, brandishing flags and slogans, yet when Iraqi Christians were driven from their homes “activists” remained silent.

I wish I could say that he was exaggerating, or that a vast majority of Muslims see Christians as their equal on Arab land..
