Once again, Coptic Christians are killed in Egypt, just for a cross drawn on the walls of an Islamic school in Khosous, where some Copts were killed and their houses of worship and properties were attacked under the nose of the police.
Once again we find state-owned media faking stories about the attack and accusing the victims of attacking their killers.
Once again, the president hold his peace and ignores the assault, as if he approves it or encourages the assaulters.
Once again, we watch the police bringing some Christian and Muslim clergymen to kiss and hug each other, and forgive the killers on behalf of the victims!
I wonder: How long will the Copts be prosecuted and even killed for no reason save their Christian faith? How long will their properties and churches be attacked, seized or demolished with no trial at all? How long would their daughters be kidnapped and forced to be converted to Islam, supported by the government? When will the Copts be treated as equal Egyptian citizens?
Unfortunately, a racist state has been hiding behind all massacres against the Copts, as well as encouraging fanatic sheikhs to incite hatred and even killing those Copts through satellite channels and mosques' loudspeakers with absolutely no trial.
I believe that such attacks are planned to displace the Coptic Christians out of Egypt. I remember here a promise given by the former president, Sadat, who promised to convert all Christians in Egypt either to Muslims or to shoeblacks, however, he didn't have enough time to fulfill his promise as he was assassinated by the Islamists whom he supported.
I know for sure that the Copts in Egypt are subject to ethnic cleansing, of which they should seek international protection, just as the Muslim Brotherhood asked international help against the Libyan and Syrian governments that they don't like.
I ask the Coptic Christians in Egypt to seek the international protection for human rights and against racism, and racial discrimination against them. I hope the Egyptian government understands that the Copts are only claiming their rights when they demand equality and living in peace without having fanatics killing their children every now and then.
