Reuters has published a statement by Coptic Solidarity describing the situation in Egypt and criticizing Western governments for supporting the Muslim Brotherhood. As we speak on this Friday, the MB has issued a call for a "day of rage" against the Egyptian government. How many attacks against Coptic Christians will that entail?

Are we witnessing a genocide against the Christians in the Middle East? Does anybody care?

How many divisions are we sending to defend the Copts?
None, but if Obama wants to bring refugees from the ME to the US, these should be the first.
And what will you say when unemployed children of Copts stashed in some former fishing village in Maine turn out to be a source of petty crime and some new drug gangs?
I'm not even saying we shouldn't admit them... but your facile assumptions that certain ethnicities bring trouble, therefore are not legitimate refugees, while others are pristine and pure and will make Good Citizens, every one of them, betray a good deal of wishful thinking.
There's not much being said about the Copts now that couldn't be legitimately said about the particular categories of Somalis that were admitted twenty or more years ago.
Unlike Somali, Egypt is a country with a long culture and education.In addition, Copts don't bring a certain ideology with them.
I said ideology-not religion.
