I have written before here about the persecution of Coptic Christians by Muslims in Egypt, and we have been hearing more of late about the threats posed to other Christian communities throughout the Muslim/Arab world. It would seem that Muslim mobs of Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Ethiopia and elsewhere – possibly whipped up by sermons during Friday prayers – are bent upon realising their threats to the “Sunday people.” Could it be that, having all but disposed of the “Saturday people” among them, there is no “other” upon which to vent their misplaced rage?
In Egypt, for example, amid the delirious headiness of the revolution they envisage, mobs attacked a Coptic church in the village of Soul, about 30 km from Cairo. They also vented their rage on Coptic homes and attacked and killed two Coptic families in the village of Sharona near Maghagha, Minya province. Their excuse for the latter was the usual one – a rumour about a liaison between a Christian man and a Muslim woman was enough to ignite the hate fest which subsequently followed. From the account of the incident, this was no minor flare-up – a mob of 4,000 attacked and set fire to the church. The Coptic leaders attributed the latter attack on “Islamists” who had taken advantage of the mayhem in Egypt. We should remember that they had to couch their statement carefully. They have the status of dhimmis in Egypt, which has a constitution based on sharia law, and as such cannot rely upon the police to protect them.
It must seem to the Copts of Egypt and indeed all Christians in Muslim countries that hell has descended upon them, and yet compared to the obsessive coverage of Israel at the Guardian, discussion there of the Copts’ plight barely registers – a glaring hypocrisy which was recently exposed by Nick Cohen.
True, there have been some articles, including one by Khaled Dhiab, but most if not all of them however, in true Guardian fashion, fail to address the elephant in the room, the principal driver of the Muslim animus against Christians and Jews – ie the Arab/Muslim tendency to divide the world into Muslim and Other and to view that Other as the eternal enemy. Islamists personify this mindset and in many Arab countries increasing numbers of attacks on Christians are linked to Islamists. Such behaviour seems to be all of a piece with a pronouncement from a Salafi-Palestinian Jihadi group leader in Gaza, that it is permissible to kill Jewish and Christian civilians in jihad, since they are ‘fundamentally not innocent’.
One of the more informative CiF articles was written by Amira Nowaira, and entitled “The Slow Death of Tolerance in Egypt”, written on 5th January, the sub-heading of which refers to the threat from the spate of anti-Christian violence to Alexandria’s “long history of co-existence”. She makes a plausible enough case for such co-existence, from own experience, but given the Egyptian state’s attitude to the dhimmi population of Christians and Jews and the ease with which the hate mobs can be whipped up and turned loose against them, her picture is an overly rosy one.
Did the sort of tolerance she describes ever exist as a rule in Egypt? Could it be depended upon to endure without incident? I have referred above to the dhimmi status of Christians and Jews in Muslim countries. Bat Ye’or’s[i] scholarly exegesis of Jewish experience under Islamic rule shows Muslim “tolerance” to have a very different connotation to that implied by Nowaira. Jews and Christians were second class citizens, always at the mercy of their Muslim masters. They had few rights in law then and Egyptian Copts have only nominal “rights” now. If their experiences and those of Christians in other Muslim countries offer us little else, they show us that nothing has changed for them and that they still are very vulnerable indeed to Muslim violence.
However, I suspect that Guardian readers will have to wait a very long time before someone of Nick Cohen’s stature and intelligence is provided a platform to comment on this increasingly dangerous phenomenon.

Medusa, like you, I cannot see how what we might perceive to be tolerance of the other can exist where there is a majority supremacist belief system which views anyone who doesn’t subscribe to it as inferior and lacks the self-control to prevent attacks on unbelievers.
For myself, I am sick and tired of what I see as the liberal delusions about the status of Jews, Christians and others under Islam. “You can be any religion you like so long as you accept that Islam is supreme” is hardly a recipe for peaceful coexistence, particularly when the majority insist upon inflicting their views on others, with violence if those others refuse to accept them.
It’s a fruitless undertaking to expect the Guardian to perceive this, let alone admit in print that this is happening and that the attitude of Islam to others is at the root of it, but that shouldn’t let us off publicising the Guardian’s glaring hypocrisy about it.

I wonder what Christian Aid will have to say?
This partisan NGO has historically blamed Israel for the massive decline of the Christian population in the disputed territories.
I wonder how long it will take them to realize that this attempt to curry favour with the Arab states hasn’t worked, and their brethren remain in a very dangerous position.
I expect Israel will help them out as usual, but I’d like to see Christian Aid beg first.

The Guardian’s approach on CiF is as simple as it is brutal:
1) No palestinians involved – not newsworthy
2) No “white people” who can even in an alternative universe be held responsible for something happening to or between “brown people” – not newsworthy.
E.g. – Sri Lanka, Kashmir, Sudan, Congo, etc.

Medusa? The same chthonic monster with spewing venom and terror?
A fitting name..
Your title should really read: The deafening silence over the increasing danger to Muslim in America…
The American Muslims are the new Jews of the 21st century: they’re being targeted in exactly a parallel manner to Jews in Nazi Germany. Then 6 Million Jews and Poles were burned to death.
The irony here is that the U.S. is more guilty of discriminating and targeting African Americans than Egypt is with Coptic Christians. And it had already been proven that Coptic Christians attacks were carried by the Mubarak regime in a policy and strategy of “Divide and Conquer.” Have you watched the news lately? Have you seen how the Coptic Christians formed a protective perimeter around Muslims praying in Tahrir Square? Have you noticed how the Muslims did the exact same thing to Coptic Christians performing Sunday services in Tahrir Square?
Ignorance and venom is what you spew…
U.S. history was based on slavery and torture and no one can deny that! The “slaves” were forced to adopt a different religion… this is from the same people who supposedly escaped religious persecution!
And it continues…
I wonder, Medusa, when will you advocate the building of incinerators here?
Bask in your ignorance and hate… you’re no different than a Nazi who justified the killing of Jews!

“Do you also remember the Jews who exterminated Palestinians…”
An impossibility. The Jews are the only true Palestinians. The ones who falsely call themselves “Palestinians” are actually Arabs. Jews are indigenous to Palestine; Arabs are indigenous to the Arabian Peninsula and settler-colonist invaders everywhere else, including Palestine.
No peace without justice, as the Leftists are wont to say; ergo, no peace until the injustice of Arab settlements on the indigenous territory of the one and only true Palestinian nation, the Jewish nation, is addressed. The Arab imperialists already have more than 20 states over a huge mass of land; they will have to content themselves with that, and leave to others what belongs to others. Palestine belongs to the Jews by right, and to the Arabs by wrongdoing.

Lets not forget those fellow Jewish conspirators who were planning on blowing up that church in Yonkers.
Or, the synogogue in the Bronx where the congregation was trying to get a call to prayer to sound in a mixed community. Apparentlly their is no modern technology available to address this concern other than disrupting an entire community 5x/day.
Then there’s those Jewish immigrants at the turn of the last century who would share their Medicaid cards w/their illegal brethren who had overstayed their visa’s.
And then of course there’s always Dearborn MI…..Google it
Oh thats right, Congressman Peter King is holding hearings on the Hill this Thursday in regard to concerns about the radicalization of Muslim youth. That’s the problem…..and guess what, there is no parallel with the Jews for that either.

In a way, I prefer his straight, in-your-face Jew-hatred to the Left’s more “refined” kind, the one that hides itself in a sophisticated, bourgeois, silken veneer of “standing against Zionist oppression.” At least with someone who employs the term “NaZionist” you no longer have any proving to do that anti-Zionism is today’s foremost form of Jew-hatred.

Thanks, everyone, for your comments:
@AndyGill, your analysis of Christian Aid is apt. CA consistently ignores the fact that Israel has the fastest growing Christian population of the Middle East, but it never did let the facts get in the way of its politics.
@AKUS, of course you are quite right. This is why there has always been silence about Muslim on Muslim violence in Darfur.
@attendingtheworld, You really do seem to be powerfully exercised and far too thin skinned to debate with grown-ups. I note that you use all the buzz words of Islamist-inspired self-pity from the “Muslims are the real victims” school and add insult to injury by comparing Muslims to Jews, when Jews in the Middle East have suffered most at Muslim hands. You know as well as I that if Islam were to gain the power it craved in the world today, Jews and other non-Muslims would be at its capricious “mercy” as are the Copts in Egypt and Christians elsewhere who have the misfortune to come under Muslim rule.
And your personalised ad homina insults can never substitute for intelligent argument (and you haven’t denied that Muslims have and are persecuting the Copts and other Christians, nor can you), so with that I bid you adieu.

@AndyGill re Christian Aid, I hope that Israel doesn’t help them out. The marching-blindly-towards-dhimmude UK has recently awarded mission status to “Palestine” no doubt as an attempt to appease the crocodile of Islamism, but there should be absolutely no reason for Israel to do the same.

All of you arguing with ATW should be aware of the true nature of this champion of Palestinian rights. Let me introduce you his/her worldview with some excerpts from his/her own blog:
At the dawn of civilization, the blood rite, in which human blood is drunk from the body of a still-living victim, was known to many tribes. However, only one people, that has never progressed beyond the Stone Age, has continued to practice the blood rite and ritual murder.This people are known to the world as Jews.
….
But anyone who knows the monstrous accusation which has been raised against the jews since the beginning of time, will view these people in a different light. He will begin to see not only a peculiar, strangely fascinating nation; but criminals, murderers, and devils in human form. He will be filled with holy anger and hatred against these people of Satan.
…..
In so doing, he must have been aware of the fact that they still practice ritual murder and the drinking of human blood (especially Christian blood).
I hope that the above is enough to see the inside the world of this “anti-Zionist”
This person should be in a closed psychiatric ward or in a prison.

peterthehungarian, thanks for your post. Unfortunately the blogosphere mandates fairly free access, even to lunatics like our friend above (he is probably in a closed ward and using the internet as “therapy”).
Originally I thought he might be a friend of the weirdos Medusa has written about elsewhere, but my guess is that his ideas are too off-the-wall even for them. (Medusa, he isn’t too thin skinned – given the preoccupation with drinking blood, I believe he isn’t wired like the rest of us).
Talking of which, and given the drivel above, perhaps he should volunteer to act as speech writer/PA to Gadaffi. They’d probably get on famously.

It does not answer the question that given where this is happening and the number of news organisations active there why are the major news institutions not covering this story ?
March 9, 2011 at 10:37 am

Paul Baird, I think I see your point, but the news from AINA although it uses only one journalist, can be triangulated from elsewhere.
As for the other Western MSM not covering the atrocities against Christians in Muslim countries, perhaps it’s simply not salient enough to them, or perhaps they are so consumed by the notion of Muslims as victims that the cognitive dissonance caused by Muslims as perpetrators of such violence is too uncomfortable for them to acknowledge in print?
Why do you think that the plight of Christians in Muslim countries is almost routinely ignored, or where it isn’t is minimised or the causes for it not addressed as is the Guardian’s strong suit?
It’d be interesting for us to know, since you have asked the question.

Really ?
It’s news.
It’s happening in Egypt.
Egypt is in the public eye.
People are interested.
So why is there only one consistant news source ?

The attack on the Coptic church in Cairo at Christmas was widely reported so I don’t buy that at all, and you’re failing to address why any other news media, aside from the Guardian, has not run with the story either.
Not even MEMRI is covering it (and they would love a story like that).

Paul, I don’t think it’s the sole source on Twitter. And Medusa’s article isn’t about whether or not the fossil press omits the interest of Christians.
Either the blog I gave a link for or the Barnabas Fund can help people keep abreast of atrocities carried out against Christians.
Just as Hamas in Cast Lead refused food aid to those who didn’t wear the “green scarf”, Muslims in the Pakistan floods were refusing aid to Christians. Discrimination on different grounds but Islam in another of its unacceptable manifestations.

@Paul Baird, “widely reported” in the UK MSM? Where, exactly? Can you post some links which reported almost contemporaneously with the incidents?
And as for
“You have your preconceptions of anyone who doesn’t agree with you”
No-one could live without preconceptions, Paul, they are what help us make sense of the world around us and new information in it. This site’s believes that Israel will not get a fair shake in the UK MSM (and that has been proven time and time again here) and that, if Islam hates Jews then it is almost certain to hate other non-Muslims. Again, that has been proven again and again, here and elsewhere. These are reasonable, fact-based preconceptions are they not? However, unlike the other place , I daresay CiFWatch would be flexible enough to note any reversals in CiFs Islamist sympathies and reflect them in its articles. There just don’t seem to have been those changes, do there?
Incidentally, it seems that Hindus are also about to counter Islamic “other hatred” in New York too, see http://tinyurl.com/5r87hhr.

Oh dear, what alot of assumptions.
I came here to get an unbiased source for a news story that I’m interested in and I’m being pilloried for my pains. I got here by Googling for a source of the news story by the way, I had no idea what CIF stood for, it sounded like a news agency.
As for the question
“Mitnaged’s question above about why YOU think the oppression of Christians and other non-Muslims is so prevalent in Muslim countries and why the UK and other MSM virtually ignores it.”
That’s a question in two parts so I’ll answer it accordingly (a) no idea, but probably religious bigotry based on a fundamentalist intepretation of religious scripture ? (b) I don’t actually own any shares in any UK or US MSM company, nor am I a regular Guardian reader (if I buy a newspaper at all) so I’m at a bit of a loss as to how you can presuppose so much about me or what influence I may have on that MSM.
I’m what’s called a impartial observer, I’m not taking any sides. That’s why getting an unbiased news report is important to me, which is why I usually rely on the BBC, CNN, Reuters or Associated Press or by reading across the list of newspapers that I’ve previously provided when something of interest comes up.
Let me return to the overall point – the first reported incident was only carried by AINA and several tweeters. It was splashed across the Christian blogosphere in general and the Coptic blogosphere in particular. Anyone who does not have a direct interest in the events and wants to find out more would usually approach the UK MSM.
I came here and asked the question why that had not happened. The subsequent story has now been picked up by some more widely known news agencies.
Anyway, thanks for your time and comments.

[...] When we begin to understand the dire social and economic conditions that Christians are increasingly facing in Islamic nations we begin to understand that those who will not be able to buy or sell, or are targeted for execution, are those Christians that refuse to submit to Islam both in mind (forehead) and in deed (right hand) yet remain in Islamic nations during the rise of the Beast. How can a non-Muslim “infidel”, who is often threatened with death, buy or sell if they are not permitted to work and earn money, if they are not granted permits to open a business, if the superior Muslim will refuse to sell to the inferior “dhimmi”? As bad as this situation is now, it is only getting worse. [...]
