I've Been Thinking:For months now I have been shouting about what is happening to Christians in Egypt. They have been shot at. They have been chased out of their homes. Their homes and churches have been burned. They have been exiled.
The only reason for these horrific attacks is that they are Christians living in a Muslim state.
Today, literally minutes after Egypt's new President Mohammed Morsi promised protection to the Christians in Rafah, they were once again attacked.
Gunmen opened fire on a Coptic Christian home in Rafah with machine guns. They sprayed the entire house with bullets.
It is hard for us to understand why this is happening. Why are Christians being threatened and killed in Egypt and why are they not being protected?
It should be understood that in the Middle East minority rights are not protected by the state. Even if it is illegal to attack minorities seldom are they protected from the Muslims masses.
Minorities live in a balance and in fear that at any moment they can be attacked.
