Renewed violence against the Copts in Egypt

I’ve been asked if / when I would cover the renewed violence against the Copts in Egypt. Frankly I’ve found the news depressing and Gregg articulates some of my sentiments rather aptly:

A few weeks ago, when people in the West were getting all giddy about the overthrow of tyrants in the Middle East, I was as sceptical as ever and warned that things could turn ugly. Sadly I think those of us who counselled caution have been proved correct. It was obvious in my view so I’m not trying to make myself look like some kind of visionary.

Indeed.

Anyway, Lisa has a comprehensive round up for us, so I’ll point you there.

And GetReligion have an informative analysis of media coverage.

    The joke was that the West moved time forward to turn the events born of the winter darkness into events of the light spring.

    Anyone who did not declare what the outcome of the Ummah jihad winter was going to be, really should not comment on such things as their appeasement is dangerous for Jews, Christians and nonbelievers both in the Middle East, the West and throughtout the World.

    The darkests days are yet to come.
