Egyptian Security Forces Kill Coptic Christians

I’ll be waiting for the UN security council to hold an emergency meeting and to declare Egypt guilty of war crimes, as well as statements from the EU and obama administration expressing their outrage over the human rights atrocities against the Coptic Christians of Egypt. You think this will merit a 45 minute harangue over the phone from Hillary Clinton to Mubarak? Or for various administration officials to state publicly how offended they are by the actions of the Egyptian government?

Atlas Shrugs:
Egyptian Security Fires Live Ammunition on Christians, 4 Killed



Muslim supremacists must stop killing non-Muslims (and moderates). This is not complicated. We don’t need imam Rauf to explain the nuances of genocide. Good people of the world have got to take a stand. Where is the worldwide rage? Where is the outcry?

Egyptian Security Used Live Ammunition on Christian Coptic Protesters, 4 Killed AINA News Org.

(AINA) — Christian Copts worldwide were shocked and enraged at the use of live ammunition by Egyptian state security forces against unarmed Coptic protesters, causing the death of three Coptic young men. A four-year old child suffocated from tear gas thrown inside the chapel. Rights groups inside and outside of Egypt have condemned the use of excessive violence by security forces and the use of live ammunition against Coptic demonstrators.

Efforts by State Security to hide the use of firearms on unarmed protesters were in vain, as the rising death toll, hospital reports on those admitted, and video footage and eyewitness testimony have revealed the details of the incident. Coptic activists Sherif Ramzy and Ramy Kamel have conducted interviews with witnesses.

CSW Advocacy Director Andrew Johnston blamed the violence on “excessive” police tactics and expressed his sadness at the “unnecessary” loss of life and injuries.
