The only way to prevent the spread of Islamic ideology is to "compete," says Ayaan Hirsi Ali in her new book "Nomad."
Over the past half century or so, the Christians of Egypt, the Copts, have suffered from systematic efforts including both overt and covert policies, measures, and actions to oppress, persecute, marginalize, and discriminate against them in their own land, Egypt. The Copts trace their lineage to the ancient Egyptians who embraced the Christian faith in the first few centuries AD, and who remained faithful to the true faith in Jesus Christ the Lord after the Arabs conquest in the 7th century AD.

Immediately following afternoon prayers, the Friday sermon is, in part, on how to deal with Christians.

"The Islamic United States will be an introduction to the formation of the global village of the oppressed and that will be a prelude to the single global rule of the Mahdi"
Jihad Watch
But oh no, the conflict with Iran has nothing to do with Islam.
Note also Kharrazi's appropriation of the language of the Left -- "the global village of the oppressed." The Leftist/jihadist alliance is one that Islamic supremacists like Kharrazi -- and others as well -- are consciously fostering.
In Egypt Muslims Who Kill Christians Often Claim 'Insanity'
(AINA)
In Egypt an often used defense by Muslims accused of killing Christians is insanity. According to said Coptic activist Maged Bishay, "Islamist investigators, judges and psychiatrists are only too willing to go with this pretext, to allow their fellow Muslims to 'get away with murder' based on the Islamic law 'Help your brother, whether he is an oppressor or he is an oppressed one.'"

Egypt: weak condemnation Of “Shoot ‘em” MP Is Not On Our Behalf
Prosecutor General Should Not Let The Incitement Crime Go By
Cairo May 5th , 2010
The Arabic Network for Human Rights Information said today, that the slight blame punishment issued by the Parliament on MP , Hassan Nashat AlQassas, famous for “shoot ‘em” MP, is a sarcastic penalty. This assured that this Parliament does not express the Egyptian public opinion as this penalty is not issued on behalf of the Egyptians.
This article addresses sectarian violence and discrimination against Egypt's Coptic minority, including the January 2010 attacks in Nag Hammadi as well as other incidents during the previous years. It also points to the government's failure to acknowledge the situation and take action or responsibility. It argues that rather than protecting its citizens, the regime's first and foremost priority has been its own survival. In order to appease Islamist groups (its main contenders), the government has thus encouraged an Islamization of Egyptian society, which in turn has resulted in further discrimination against the Coptic minority.
It is almost a year ago, since the media first broke the news about influenza (flu)-like disease spreading in Mexico. The outbreak however seemed different from other flu’s, as it unexpectedly caused many fatalities among the young and the healthy. Initial reports associated the new flu with pig farms in Mexico, and labeled it as swine flu, which later on was identified as H1N1 flu. The unexpected fatalities, coupled with inadequate information and uncertainty about the behavior of the new virus strain stoked fears.

Last Thursday evening, April 8th, the vaunted hero of the American Left and the denizens of the “politically correct” intellectual enclaves made his return appearance at Cooper Union in New York City. In a panel discussion entitled, “Secularism, Islam and Democracy: Muslims in Europe and the West,” Tariq Ramadan, the formerly “exiled” professor of Islamic Studies at Oxford University, took center stage at the forum sponsored by the American Civil Liberties Union, the American Association of University Professors, PEN American Center, the American Academy of Religion and Slate Magazine. The audience of approximately 600 people consisted of those who call him “slippery,” “double-faced” and “dangerous” and his left-wing apologists who refer to him as “brilliant,” a “bridge-builder” and a “Muslim Martin Luther.”
Egypt must face up to increasing sectarian violence and prosecute offenders in order to stave off a further rise in such attacks, a rights group said on Sunday.
"The state does not have a plan to quash sectarian tension and it does not even acknowledge its existence," Hossam Bahgat, director of the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights, said at a news conference to launch the study.
Facing the Rising Tide: Anti-Christian Persecution across the World
On Easter Monday the Archbishop of Canterbury appeared on the BBC Radio 4 programme Start the Week and was asked to comment on the troubles currently being experienced by non-Western Christians. In his reply he said, “We lose sight in this country very often of just how vulnerable some of the Christian communities around the world are... Christian minorities that have in Muslim environments been part of the furniture for many, many centuries are suddenly seen, suddenly cast as Western outposts, and that makes them particularly vulnerable.” As examples he mentioned the Christians of Iraq (specifically Mosul) and Nigeria.
Afraid to be a Christian? Who can blame you? The authorities, the media and the chattering classes are forever trying to run you down. We don’t have to brave the Colosseum, with its rapacious lions; we don’t have to wear an identifying badge; or meet in secret – yet.
The Copts, Egypt's indigenous Christians, like many other Eastern Orthodox Christians, celebrate Christmas on Jan. 7, according to the Julian calendar. The midnight mass and Christmas day are joyous celebrations for Egypt's Christians, as they are for Christians around the world.
Violence against the Christians of Egypt, the Copts
by Ed Rizkalla
March is a lovely time in the year, as we experience the transition from the cold of winter to the warmer feel of the spring. Many sports fans in the United States, including the writer, tend to watch basketball games. It is the time to for the popular NCAA college basketball tournaments, fondly known as “March Madness”. Animated- sometimes heated- discussions are common among sports fans at office coffee breaks or at bars over a few drinks. For the most part, discussions among the fans are friendly and aim to please and entertain. This however does not preclude a very small minority of the more zealous drunken fans, on rare occasions, from slipping from a friendly discussion into an unwarranted brawl or get them in trouble.
