Coptic Christians, who make up about 5-10% of Egypt's people, are not hiding in a corner and hoping the violent Islamists who threaten society there will, Inshallah, go away. Instead, last year their pope protested attempts to force Christians to convert to Islam; now, a church in Alexandria has the fortitude to denounce the criminals via a dramatic performance. What do the Islamists' supporters do to protest this unjust criticism? One stabbed a nun this week and a crowd came straight from Friday prayers to riot at the church. That'll prove those infidels wrong!
Remember our brothers and sisters who suffer for the Christian faith.
Their pope???
Yeah; the leader of the Coptic Orthodox Church has the title Pope; the current one is Pope Shenouda III.
I understand that the Egyptians were upset at their government's full support for the Iraq War, and that's why they were so angry.
