Title: Christians Fleeing Egypt, NGO Reports

An Egyptian NGO reports mass Christian flight following Mubarak’s downfall. Up to 250,000 could leave this year.

The number of Christians to have fled Egypt since March is approaching 100,000, and could reach 250,000 by the end of 2011, a Coptic NGO has reported. An estimated 93,000 have left already, the head of the Egyptian Federation of Human Rights told the daily Al-Masry Al-Youm.

Numbers were based on information gathered from churches within Egypt and from Coptic communities abroad.

The most popular destination for fleeing Christians was the United States, which took in an estimated 42,000 of the Egyptian Copts. Other destinations included Canada, Australia and western Europe.

Federation of Human Rights head Naguib Gabriel said Christians were leaving over threats from Salafi groups seeking to implement Sharia (Islamic law) as national law, and over the government’s failure to bring attackers to justice in attacks on churches.

Some voiced skepticism regarding the report, saying it was unlikely that Christians could have migrated so quickly, due to the bureaucracy involved in immigration. However, they told Al-Masry Al-Youm that they agree anti-Christian persecution is a serious issue.

Muslamics everywhere are turning more and more hardliners. So such are the outcomes,  I mean people running away from the peaceful muslamics.

"Egypt" is not for Muslims neither for Xtians. Only for Jews

I've got mixed feelings about this story. On the one hand I'm glad they're able to leave Egypt and they definitely need to get out of there and be safe. On the other hand why do they choose to flee to the USA? Is it the USA's job to take in every refugee in the world?

Interesting? I would think "Egypt" would be for Egyptians.

Of course our media is giving this just about ZERO attention.  The persecution of the COPTS means absolutely nothing to the evil apologists who run our news media
