By Micah Halpern
Thursday June 5, 2014 I've Been Thinking: Mobs burned Christian shops just outside of Luxor in Egypt the other day. They threw gasoline on the shops and lit them aflame. It all happened just as a young Christian man, Kerolos Ghattas, was about to go on trial. Ghattas is charged with blaspheming Allah and Islam. There are about 9 million Coptic Christians in Egypt, they make up about 10% of the population. They live in fear. Their institutions are being burnt and plundered. Ghattas has a popular blog and he has said some very critical things about Islam. Despite the new elections and al Sisi winning nearly 97% of the vote, very little will change vis a vis the Christians of Egypt. They will continue on as they have been, an unprotected minority in a very hostile environment. Read my new book THUGS. It's easy. Just click.
