THE NARRATIVE AND POLITICAL CORRECTNESS


Threats to freedom of speech, writing and action, though often trivial in isolation, are cumulative in their effect and, unless checked, lead to a general disrespect for the rights of the citizen. -George Orwell

WHAT'S THE RED LINE FOR EGYPT'S CHRISTIANS?



Leaders to Obama: 'What is the red line for Christians in Egypt?'
While President Obama has demonstrated an eagerness to offer an opinion on local police matters, he’s been reticent to opine on the destruction and bloodshed inflected on Egyptian Christians by members of the Muslim Brotherhood. If his silence befuddles Americans, it appalls Egyptian Christians.

In the face of the violence, Obama's focus has been on gun control executive orders that will do nothing and Obamacare, which will bankrupt the nation. Father Rafic Greiche, the chief spokesman for the Catholic Church in Egypt, wants to know why the president is ignoring the matter, according to CBN News.
The full article excerpted above includes a link to the following article but I want to highlight it with its own excerpt.  Radicals in Western countries such as England and the United States are in the habit of claiming that they are being "persecuted" for being Muslims.  This, of course, is self-serving nonsense.  If they want to see what actual religious persecution looks like then they need look no farther than places like Egypt.  What is being done to Egypt's Christian minority is what actual persecution looks like.

Minya: schools, churches and orphanages burnt to erase all traces of a Christian presence
"The Islamists", one resident said, "burnt and destroyed everything. Their goal was to erase all the traces of a Christian presence; even the orphanages were looted and destroyed."
After storming the Prince Tadros el-Shatbi Church, the armed Islamic extremists turned their attention to two homes for disadvantaged children located near the parish church, residents said.
They stole church offerings, clothes, and children's games before torching the entire building. The fire lasted over 5 hours.
"Fortunately," the source said, "the children were taken to safety before the arrival of the Islamists."
Like other Christians sites, the two homes that housed hundreds of orphans are now a pile of rubble.
