Every time I hear a repeat of our Cairo Embassy's apology for that anti-Muslim film made in the U.S. by a Coptic Christian, I am infuriated. Not just because our freedom of speech is at issue but, because that apology ignores the plight of the Coptic Christians in Egypt.
For years, thousands of Coptic Christian women and girls have been abducted, raped, killed, stripped naked in public and, forced into Muslim marriages in some twisted attempt to make these women convert to Islam. While attacks against all Christians have occurred throughout the Muslim world, Egypt is certainly ground zero when it comes to its own Christian population: The Coptics.
So, where's the State Department's concern over the religious feelings of the Coptics? The guy who made that film, a Coptic Christian, didn't just make it because he woke up one day to hate Muslims. He made it because of how Coptic Christians are being so brutally treated by Muslims in the names of Islam and Muhammad.
