Obama Invited Muslim Brotherhood; What About Coptic Christians?

From Yahoo News:

Coptic Christians in America, with the support of other Americans, are concerned for their counterparts living in Egypt. Also in danger could be people of other faiths, including Muslims of unpopular sects...

Coptics are concerned that while President Barack Obama invited the Muslim Brotherhood to participate in forming a new Egyptian government, neither he nor others in his administration specifically invited Egypt's Christian population or other religious groups to the table...

Voice of the Copts is a representative body of Coptic Christians in the USA. Its website criticizes Obama's refusal to admit the Muslim Brotherhood is not a threat while he himself states the Brotherhood is well-organized with anti-American ideas. Voice of the Copts informs that there are many kinds of people in Egypt and all must be considered.

By various reports, there are ten to twelve million Coptic Christians in Egypt. This is 15 percent to 20 percent of the population. The fear is, that if the Muslim Brotherhood turns out to want Sharia law (Islamic religious law) to become state government law, what will become of these Christians?

Severe persecution of Christianity and other faiths already happens under Islamic law in Iraq and Iran. Victor Davis Hanson... warned in a National Review article that with this call for a new government in Egypt, we could see a repeat of 1979 when the Shah of Iran was overthrown. Just when we thought there would be a "democratic" regime in Iran, the Ayatollah Khomeini took over and made Iran into an Islam-governed state...

Over the American New Year's holiday, more than 20 Coptic Christians were murdered during a raid on their church...

The New York Sun reported in May 2010 that Coptic Christians have been unable to obtain an audience with President Obama to discuss religious persecution in Egypt. They don't mind Obama's hand extended to the Muslim community, but the fact that their own is ignored is extremely frustrating.

President Obama's overtures to the Muslim Brotherhood, including an invitation to members of the Brotherhood to attend his speech in Cairo in June of 2009, and a private meeting he had held with several members of the organization in Washington D.C earlier that year - which was kept under wraps at the request of the MB - was likely a result of the close kinship that he feels toward the Muslim Brotherhood.

It should also be noted that extending a hand to the Muslim Brotherhood may actually be a prudent move on the President's part.

Rather than antagonize the MB into waging a holy war, the President has opted to allow the Muslim Brotherhood to form an Islamic caliphate in Egypt.

The President, it seems, has reached the conclusion that a holy caliphate is more preferable than a holy war, and that the price of appeasement is well worth the investment.

Obama's strategy can only be descibed as a profound work of genius which will ultimately spread peace and tranquility to the the entire free world, and, at the same time, provide the Egyptian people with a religious experience they'll NEVER, EVER forget, until death do their country [a]part.....
