I am a Coptic American and very concerned about the ill-treatment and frequent violence carried out against my people, the Christian Egyptians, the latest of which was a massacre of the worshippers coming out of the church after the Christmas mid-night mass on Thursday, January 7, 2010 .
We, the Americans, are a compassionate nation and our President expresses the Nation’s outrage and demands justice whenever such injustice occurs anywhere on the globe.
We, the Coptic Americans, are surprised and dismayed by the total silence of President Obama and his administration and respectfully request the White House to interfere in any way it sees suitable to alleviate the pressure against the Copts, especially the discrimination practiced against them by Mubarak’s Government and its institutions.
Thank you so much.
