Coptic Christians are facing similar religious persecution
Hussein Aboubakr: Coptic tragedy in Egypt
There once lived a great Jewish community in Egypt that has been lost forever. Just
as 80,000 Egyptian Jews were abused and fled, today Coptic Christians
are facing similar religious persecution, yet they don’t have any other
home country to turn to. Today, the world is preoccupied with the
current political turmoil in Egypt, while ignoring the ongoing
catastrophe faced by an indigenous Middle Eastern Coptic Christians.
One
of the churches burned by Muslim Brotherhood supporters, was the Prince
Tadros Church in Al Minya – a 4th century church which contained
ancient manuscripts on Orthodox theology. Is the West ready to accept
such a loss? Are power and money more important than human life and
history?
