ACL calls on government to demand better protection of Coptic Christians

The Australian Christian Lobby issued this media release on Saturday 1 Jan:

In the light of yet another horrific attack against Coptic Christians, ACL has called on the Australian Government to demand the Egyptian government provide them better protection.

“No minority in any country should be subjected to the indiscriminate terrorism that Islamic terrorists are repeatedly committing against Egypt’s Christian community and particularly the Copts,” said Jim Wallace, ACL’s Managing Director.

“This is simply another incident in a long line of suffering for these people, by attackers deliberately targeting them for their faith,” said Mr Wallace. “Women, children and old men, all maimed or killed for no other reason than they are Christians in a minority position in a Muslim country that wants to masquerade as a major world player.”

“Failing to protect a minority group of its citizens against this attack is just the worst manifestation of a government that seems to encourage the very extremists it now asks the country to unite against, by its failure to accord Christians equal rights to build churches and otherwise practice their religion,” said Mr Wallace.

“Our Government must protest this strongly, it has gone on too long, too deliberately and with too many innocent victims and too little effort by the Egyptian government to treat Copts and other Christians in accord with UN protocols,” he said.

  2. It’s time to wake up & realise the dangers of Islamic terrorism invading our countries. Europe is badly infested, that a solution would be beyond imagination, while America and Australia will be soon facing the same fate if they keep the ” It’s O.K ” attitude !
    Remember that Egypt, Syria, Palestine, Assyria (Iraq), Persia (Iran), Asia Minor (Turkey) had a majority Judeo-Christian population till the 8th century when they were FORCED by all means OF TERROR to convert to Islam. That marked the start of the Dark Age, the dominance of despotism and rule of the Sword & Terror. Will UK, France, Germany, Denmark, Holland, Norway etc.follow the same trend of history ?
    Governments & Politician, get out of you apathy and selfishness.
    Act Now ….. or Never. It’s not too late, YET.

  3. I could only dream of a similar reaction from an American Christian. They are too busy electing and lobbying for the rich. Thank you Australia
