boyfriday Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 The BBC are pc idiots. Pay them no attention. Remember how you hate the over/inappropriate use of the word 'racist'? Well constantly trotting out 'pc' takes away similar weight to the argument you might have had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moabdul Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 Copts have been harrassed/persecuted for decades, if not centuries, in Egypt. Nothing new here (not saying it shouldn't be stopped, of course - just that it's not "out of character" or a "new thing" explained away by the "arab spring"). Coptics were the majority in Egypt until Islamic conquest 90% now !0% did that take decades? Coptic girls kidnapped mutilated and sold to Muslims under the con of a wedding. Wake up.

Bejesus, no appreciation of historical context or the features of that country that facilitated such abuses of human rights..all you see is 'Muslim does bad thing-UG that means my daughters will be kidnapped from my front room in Southey and sold to Muslims' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L00b Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Coptics were the majority in Egypt until Islamic conquest 90% now !0% did that take decades? Said conquest took place in 639AD or thereabouts...centuries actually, I was right For your reading pleasure. Extract: Copts have faced increasing marginalization after the 1952 coup d'état led by Gamal Abdel Nasser. I've worked with Copts, both in Egypt and Europe, a couple of decades ago, and I have known (well, was made aware) of the above way back then - which already was nothing new then. Much as I find the Muslim Brotherood unpalatable myself...you're really not helping yourself. Much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
