Canada’s Coptic Christians ask for protection in wake of Egypt bombing
Source: Globe and Mail (Toronto)

Coptic Christians in Canada are imploring police to step up security at churches during this week’s orthodox Christmas celebrations, as they brace for any copycat violence after last weekend’s suicide bombing in Egypt.

Fallout from the slaying of 21 people at an Alexandria church is causing political turmoil in Egypt and ripples of fear to spread in diaspora communities through the West. Yet Copts in Canada say they will still turn out in droves this week to celebrate the birth of Christ...

Canadian authorities are insisting there are no known credible threats. Yet in Europe, authorities are stepping up security at some churches in France and Austria.

1. I find it ironic that the Talabangelicals practically ignore the Coptic Christians in the arab world
Yet they bend over backwards for the Likud fascists in Israel.

2. The Likudnicks have a key End Times role
That is what makes them so important to the Xian fundies.

Coptic Christians, however, are just another group that will be left behind when the Rapure happens.

3. The key end times role is to give morbidly obese preachers a ton of money.
Hence why they kiss Israel's ass so much. How do you think Pastor Hagee paid for his palatial estate.
