From Abbot Tryphon:
Coptic
is the Pharoes’ name for “Egyptian", a little appreciated echo
of the fact that all of Egypt was once a Coptic, Christian nation. For
seven centuries Egypt was a Christian nation, until the Arab Islamic
invasion in the seventh
century. When President Obama came to Cairo in 2009 for his first major
speech
on foreign affairs, he thought his charisma
would be enough, as he attempted to appease the Islamists with his talk
of America being their friend, all the while ignoring the plight of the
Christians of the Middle East, who have been the
bridge between the West and Arab cultures since the 17th century.

Egypt’s
fourteen
million Christians, the original descendants of the pharaohs, are once
again being singled out, while the American administration has aligned
itself with their persecutors. Over the past fourteen centuries,
Muslim invaders of Egypt have forcibly converted most of the
population,
except for those stubborn Coptic Christians who stood up to the
persecution and threats, only to have America side with the militant
Islamic Brotherhood.
