Egypt Copts call on Mubarak to stop the killing and persecution of Christians by his regime
As If he doesn't know what's happening to the Copts of Egypt, the Coptic Church authority made public an official statement addressed to Mubarak, to stop the killing of the Copts and the attacks on their properties and their holy places, after the last attack on the oldest monastery in the world and the monks living in it, detailed in a previous posting, here.
Never has the Copts endured harsher persecution during the last hundred years, as what they endured, and still enduring under the rule of Mubarak, the one presenting himself as a Western ally in the war on terror, while his security police never ceased, and is the instigator of the worst terror campaign against the Copts during the last 25 years.
This public statement was also meant for the Western world to take notice of Mubarak's government sponsored ethnic cleansing against the Copts, who represent, contrary to the government lie, 20 percent of the population.

The Coptic Ecclesiastical Council called on Mubarak to prevent "more armed attacks on monks" and "insults to the cross," said a statement carried by Egypt's press on Sunday.
The move follows a land dispute involving a historic monastery which turned violent on May 31, leading to the death of a Muslim man who was reportedly attacking the monastery.
Four Copts, including two monks, were injured in the attack on the Abu Fana Monastery near the southern city of Minya.
Officials have sought to play down the incident, saying it was a personal rather than sectarian issue.
The clashes broke out when the monastery began building a wall around neighboring property after receiving final approval earlier this year.

Why are the Copts being tortured and murdered and their children corrupted by Islamic "education"? We know why. It is because millions of children are forced to grow up believing that a certain Bible, called the Koran, which Koran claims it was the perfect command from God Himself which told the reader exactly how to live and die down to the last minute detail - this book called the Koran, also greatly encouraged suicide bombing, and out and out cold blooded murder - there is only one thing to do to save them - go to war with Islam right now1 And I mean real WAR! Tell me how there is another way?
