Silence on Egypt’s Christian Slaughter

by Joseph Puder

Christians throughout the Middle East are being persecuted by increasingly intolerant Muslim majorities, while Muslims in “Christian” Europe and North America have been empowered to demand ever more privileges.

The New American reported on March 28, 2011 that

Muslim Protesters, some of them women clad in black burqas, marched in London last week to demand Sharia law for the United Kingdom…The protesters carried signs with disturbing anti-American and anti-European messages. “Islam the solution for mankind,” one said, while another proclaimed that “Democracy will bring oppression.” Another called the United States, Britain, and France a “Trinity of evil,” while a fourth warned that “Sharia will dominate the world.”

Neither Western powers nor the Vatican have taken any actions to redress the dangerous situation faced by their Middle Eastern co-religionists. One cannot name a single Western “Christian” leader that has threatened the Muslim leader of Egypt with any form of retaliation, including the imposition of restrictions on Muslims living in Europe and America. In fact, President Obama invoked moral equivalency between the government-approved Egyptian Muslim killers and the Christian victims when he stated on October 10, 2011, “Now is a time for restraint on all sides so that Egyptians can move forward together to forge a strong and united Egypt.”
