Well, I couldn't imagine a more timely or important inaugural posting than the one that follows. The Copts, like the jews, are the canary in the global coal mine when it comes to resurgent islamist brutality. They, along with their ex-pat leader, Father Zakarias Butros, deserve a wider audience:
"Since early 2007, the Egyptian Government has been appeasing muslim fundamentalists by settling matters of sectarian conflict out of court in line with islamic Shariah law. That prohibits Christians from bringing evidence against muslims. The Government brokers "reconciliation"
sessions where the Christians are forced to drop all charges they are making (arson, looting,assault, kidnap, robbery, criminal damage, rioting, torture, rape, murder) in exchange for Muslim guarantees of 'peace.' This 'reconciliation' Egyptian-style emboldens belligerent islamists by rewarding
their violence with impunity. It creates a climate of terror for Christians and is fueling escalating persecution . . . "
