Egyptian Coptic Christians, a Middle Eastern minority swept under the rug by our dear friends on the Left, have continued to be persecuted by their homeland’s Muslim majority.
Some of Egypt’s Muslims once again proved they have no idea what free speech is, and fueled the fire of belief that Islam is completely intolerant. Their anti-Coptic riot killed 3 people. A Coptic nun got stabbed by some Muslim zealot.
All this because the Copts staged a play in 2003. According to the Scotsman:
Entitled I Once Was Blind But Now I See, the drama tells the story of a poor young Copt who is drawn to Islamist militants who then try to kill him.
Coptic Christian leaders say the play depicts the dangers of extremism, not of Islam.
Of course the appeasers will say that the Muslim extremists were justified in their rampage. In the leftist definition of “multiculturalism,” Muslims are given cart-blanche for their aberrations, because “that’s the way they deal with emotional issues.” Dear leftists: we’ll see what happens when Muslims try to burn down one of your churches. Will the grass still be greener?
