Hat tip Coptic Solidarity
While it is perceived that the situation for the Coptic Christians in Egypt has improved since Mohammed Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood were removed from power, they still suffer from attacks by followers of the MB. In addition, there are still doubts as to how far the government of Abdel Fattah El Sisi will go to ensure that they achieve equal status in Egypt. The below article describes an interview with El Sisi that is not all that reassuring.

Almost anything is better than Morsi and the MB running Egypt, but if we are going to continue to provide aid to this country, one of the conditions must be that they protect their Christian community.

El Sisi is a smart operator who is concerned with one thing: keeping the military in power. To do this, he engineered the military siding with "the people" against Mubarak, responding to the demand of "the people" to overthrow Morsi, acting under this cover to suppress the MB, and now, he his tack with regard to the Copts will be whatever serves his interests, period.
If the US doesn't want to fund him directly, he can always get a chunk of our oil money from the Saudis, who may be Wahabbi and Salafist, but hate the MB. (Another reason we should shift to electric cars -- and the Volt is MADE IN AMERICA, at least for now).
What makes you think El Sisi give s a rat's behind what the USA thinks, much less what Fousesquawk thinks?
Yeah, and the little piece of caca costs at least about $35K and goes a whopping 38 miles on a fully-charged battery. I could charge it from a $55K (plus repairs and maintenance) wind turbine in my backyard and kill a few birds the animal rights whackos are so worried about, although it is good to see the environmental/global warming/climate nuts at odds with them. Thanx but no thanx.
elwood, its a lot simpler and cheaper than that... but if you don't know how to use technology, by all means don't buy it.
For starters, most driving most people do (except in Los Angeles) is under 38 miles a day. The difference between the Volt and the Nissan Leaf is that it has a little gas turbine that extends effective range to about 350 miles when you need it. But most urban drivers don't, so they go a couple of months without filling up, even driving a daily commute.
The electricity costs 2 cents a mile, which is better than my Kia Rio at 10 cents a mile. Charging cars overnight will rebalance electrical generation, since generating facilities have to be built to handle peak demand in mid afternoon, but its expensive to keep the generators just barely turning over at night when demand is low.
But the bottom line is, YOU ARE A FRIEND OF TERRORISTS OFFERING EXCUSES FOR WHY AMERICAN DOLLARS SHOULD BE SPENT TO FUND AL QAEDA AND MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO HANG SUDANESE CHRISTIAN WOMEN.
