Kidnappings and Forced Conversions in Egypt

Hat tip Coptic Solidarity

"Let there be no compulsion in religion"
Qu'ran Sura 2:256

Either that phrase has been abrogated by later verses in the Qu'ran or somebody needs to brush up on the texts. As we speak, thousands of Egyptian Coptic Christian children are being abducted and forced to convert to islam. Below is an excerpt from an interview with a  human rights lawyer in Egypt.

Q) How many of these cases have you handled, of these disappearances?
A) There are many such cases. You refer to those that I have had handled, I believe about three hundred and eighteen cases, something around that number.
Who speaks for these children and their families? Apparently not the UN Human Rights Commission. They are too busy introducing resolutions against Israel, where Christians can live in peace and freedom. Apparently not the Obama administration and their useless mouthpiece, John Kerry. They are too busy trying to pressure the Egyptian government to release the imprisoned Muslim Brotherhood extremists. Apparently not American Muslim organizations like CAIR, They ignore and deny the problem. Besides, they don't let themselves get dragged into the Middle East conflicts-at least according to Southern California director Hussam Ayloush (when he's not bashing Israel or urging the US to intervene militarily in Syria on the side of the folks who are killing Christians when they are not fighting the Syria government.)
So who is left to speak out? Bloggers?
