A Christian girl kidnapped in Egypt tells her story. The Arabic-language Free Christian Voice (Sawt al-Masihi al-Hurr) carried this report, entitled "After her return, the young girl of the village of Fanus narrates the details behind the conspiracy to bully her family out of the village," on June 17. It was translated exclusively for Jihad Watch by Raymond Ibrahim.
The young girl of the village of Fanus exposes the details of the conspiracy prepared for her:"As I was returning back to the house, they came upon me and put something on my mouth and stripped off the gold I was wearing. I fell unconscious -- until I found myself on one of the streets of al-Minya [i.e., outside of the village], totally oblivious of what had happened."
"The village elder gave my kidnapper money."
"The village elder said to me: 'We think you are too good for the Christian religion... Become Muslim and I will marry you, and sign over to you all my money and property, and provide you with an excellent life.'"
"The village elder entered our homes and beat us all...and he had people from his extended family of al-Dirabsa who came to the house with a drum in order to carry me in the streets in a wedding procession, saying: 'Look at the Christian who became a Muslim!'"
"I wish the village elder were judged and jailed, for he tormented us and forced us -- he and those who followed him -- out of our village. And the government is standing by his side, abandoning us."
Interview by Girgis Bashari -- exclusive to The Copts United
The kidnapping of the young girl of the village of Fanus, in the province of Samalut in al-Minya has exposed the various ways and conspiracies undertaken by Muslims in order to coerce young girls to enter into Islam -- after humiliating and degrading them. Based on the role played by the newspaper, The Copts United, which covers these matters and conspiracies, we had the following conversation with the young girl of the village of Fanus, whose name is Zinahum Nadi 'Adli Amin, after she returned [from her kidnapping]:
Q: Zinahum, how many Christians are in the village of Fanus? How many Muslims?
A: The village of Fanus has approximately twenty Christian households and six Muslim households. The village elder [sheikh al-'izba] is Muslim.
Q: That which happened to you, do you call it kidnapping, or did you runaway of your own will?
A: What happened to me involved a great conspiracy; nor did I imagine such a thing could ever happen to me.
Q: What was the conspiracy carried out against you? And who planned it?
A: On Saturday night, we had one of our female relatives over. I went out to get something cold [to drink]. I met four Muslim females from the village and stopped to greet them. As I was returning back to the house, they came upon me and put something on my mouth and stripped off the gold I was wearing. I fell unconscious -- until I found myself on one of the streets of al-Minya [i.e., outside of the village], totally oblivious of what had happened. Then, the world darkened before my face, and I did not know what to do. I was afraid to return home, lest my parents kill me, though what happened was against my will.
Q: Who kidnapped you? And who planned this conspiracy against you?
A: The person who kidnapped me is someone called Sayyid Khalif Ahmed 'Abd al-Rahman. The person who planned this conspiracy, I know him well: he is the village elder, Khalif 'Abd al-Majid. He comes from a large family, connected to [the tribe of] al-Dirabsa. He gave Sayyid money to kidnap me and incited many people against me.
Q: What is your evidence that the village elder plotted this conspiracy against you? And what was the purpose behind your kidnapping?
A: The purpose of kidnapping me was to force me to enter into Islam.
Q: How?
A: When I went to the police department in the morning [to report the kidnapping], the Hajj [Muslim honorific], Khalif, the village elder, came to me and said: "We think you are too good for the Christian religion." He said to me: "Become Muslim and I will marry you, and sign over to you all my money and property, and provide you with an excellent life -- just say before witnesses, 'I want to become Muslim.'" But I refused.
Q: Did they arrest the youth who kidnapped you?
A: Yes, they arrested him, but he was released.
Q: Why?
A: Because, when I was at the police department, I was unable to focus, due to my being drugged, and they said to me, "Say at the hearing, 'Nobody kidnapped me,'" and I said so. And because of this, he was released and not imprisoned. They wanted me to enter into Islam in any way.
Q: Were you threatened after you returned to your home?
A: They are currently furious and enraged because I returned to my family, refusing to become a Muslim. They threaten us and have blockaded our way in the village. None of us ventures outside. My father does not go to his work because he fears stepping outside. The village elder entered our homes and beat us all, cursing us; he beat my father with his slipper [i.e., ultimate humiliation]. He had with him ten cars full of people from his extended family of al-Dirabsa, who came to the house with a drum in order to carry me in the streets in a wedding procession, saying: "Look at the Christian who became a Muslim!" They said to my parents, "We're going to take your daughter no matter what, and afterwards you will never find her!" So, in fear, we abandoned our homes, and went to stay with my grandfather in the village of 'Amira near our village. There, the state security came to my parents and said to them: "Your daughter has become Muslim." Until now, we are not permitted to go out, and we are persecuted...and the village elder wants us to abandon our home. And he has sworn "by the right" [i.e., sworn to Allah], that if we do not quit the village, my family will never see me again. He said: "I will not rest, nor will I know peace, until I see her uncles shorn of their mustaches [i.e., demeaned and emasculated]. Thus they forced us to leave the village. But we will never forget it, and we will try to return to it in any possible way.
Q: Why did you not report the village elder regarding the fear and terror he caused you?
A: I wish that man were judged and jailed, for he tormented us, and forced us -- he and those who followed him -- out of our village. He is trying to break my spirit and my family's spirit any which way he can. And the government is standing by his side, abandoning us.
Q: What do you request now?
A: I thank the Lord for delivering me from this conspiracy. I ask that human rights [representatives] come and hear our complaint, and know what is happening to us and my family, and to investigate the situation, and that they subject the village elder to a trial, because of what he did to us.
Q: Did your gold return to you?
A: Yes, it returned today.
Q: Do you have a message that you would like to send to young Coptic girls like yourself?
A: I say to the girls who are like me: I am in great fear over you because of what's happening. What I have seen -- no one has seen. I used to be very open and trusting towards Muslim women, but they were plotting a catastrophe for me behind my back. They drugged me, and I never would have expected that from them.
The village elder sounds like a reincarnation of Mahound...
How does a forced conversion help Allah, when the persons kufr basically remains intact? I don't think it's possible to force anyone out of kufr...But they may be able to force them out of town taking their kufr with them...I think this is a case of absolute power corrupts absolutely, and it's got the village witch doctor by the neck...He probably want's to rape her, but because of his fine standing in the village, needs a marriage to do it...
"Become Muslim and I will marry you, and sign over to you all my money and property, and provide you with an excellent life -- just say before witnesses, 'I want to become Muslim.'"
She must be really cute...
High time we in the anti-Islamic movement stopped paying even lip service to any Muslim victims of Muslims.
"I used to be very open and trusting towards Muslim women, but they were plotting a catastrophe for me behind my back."
Wow. I would never think that of the Mohammedans, whether male or female! (that's huge sarcasm)
Whenever you see the term "village elders", it is reasonable to assume that you are dealing with primitives.
Given the statements and actions of the Obummah administration and its faithful O-bots it would not be unreasonable to start referring to the whole sorry lot as "village elders".
Arrogance, meet aroused penis. Not a good combination, especially in a Muslim man. This little girl told this big old village elder "no" and now there will be hell to pay?
Let me see here, this guy said "We think you are too good for the Christian religion... Become Muslim and I will marry you, and sign over to you all my money and property, and provide you with an excellent life." Which translates to "you're hot, I'm horny and since I'm a Muslim supremacist and can intimidate your family into letting you go I will kidnap, drug and hopefully, rape you. Isn't that a great offer for YOU? And if you have a brain and don't accept my offer I will beat you, your parents, humiliate the men in your family, burn your house down and kill somebody since I'm not getting my way. Isn't it romantic?
Hey bud, why don't you take a long walk off a short pier.
The village hajj elder said, "We think you are too good for the Christian religion." Sadly, this is evidence that the spiritual life has been sucked out of Muslims over the centuries of indoctrination and ideologically-closed societies. C.S. Lewis once wrote, "For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; Deny it food and it will gobble poison." Islam is the poison gobbled by people who have never been allowed to consider a faith-based, spiritual religion.
6 muslim households + the muslim village elder against 20 christian households. That´s just about the ratio needed for the muslims to consider themselves the masters. Perhaps a bit low, but then it IS a muslim and Arab country, and we must include the obvious outside support.
I wonder when the Egyptians began to think of themselves as Arabs first and foremost, and not as Egyptians?
Couldn't agree more with Infidel Pride's comment.
There is a broader historical and sociocultural issue here: From my experience with Copts, they tend to adhere irrationally to a quasi-mythological view of their own ethnic purity, claiming that they are "not Arabs".
However, stories like this one -- which we may reasonable assume represent thousands more like this, not only in the past few years, but obviously going back centuries, to the decades after the initial conquest of Egypt by Muslim Arabs in the 7th century A.D.
And to this kind of forced conversion we can add rapes of Egyptian girls and women followed by forced marriage (when they weren't simply murdered); as well as the grudgingly voluntary conversion of a certain number of native Egyptians due to the pressures of Islamic oppression of the dhimmi over time.
Thus, what actually happened to the native Egyptians after the Islamic conquest in the 7th century A.D. is that a certain percentage -- perhaps quite a large percentage -- of native Egyptians mixed with the Arab Muslims (and in subsequent centuries, perhaps other regional ethnicities embraced under the expansionist Islamic demographic). I.e., after centuries of this process, it is safe to assume that there is no "pure" Coptic people anymore, though there may well be degrees -- as we see in Mexico, Central America and South America, where some people look whiter and more Iberian, some look thoroughly Indian, and many reflect various mixtures in between.
It seems rather disingenuous, however -- if not truculently childish and jingoistic -- for Copts today to obstinately maintain that they have remained "pure", even as they are simultaneously claiming all these forced conversions, forced marriages, rapes, and of course the centuries-long occupation by Muslim Arabs.
THIS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN IN GREAT BRITAIN!!!!!!
................WOULD IT?
PLEASE TELL ME IT WOULDN'T....WE ARE PART OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY.

This would be horrific enough if it were just the story of Zinahum Nadi 'Adli Amin—but it is not. As she herself makes clear, it also the story of many other Coptic girls.
It is also the story of girls in Pakistan, and Iraq, and Lebanon. It is the story of Armenian girls from the last century and before in Turkey, and Jewish girls in the Magreb, and Hindu girls in Hindu Kush. It is the story of all the long, bloody centuries of Islam.
It is the story of Safiyya bint Huyayy, raped by "The Prophet" on the night after he had murdered her husband, her father, and her brothers.
Here's a cringe-worthy Fatwa—an apologia from the University Sains Islam Malaysia, in answer to a Muslim who at least had the decency to feel rather queasy over the actions of "The Prophet" in this case:
http://infad.usim.edu.my/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=8233
So, the village elder was just following the 'perfect model' of Muhammed here.
As the good Imam notes, only "Jews who blame the Prophets of bad things and atheists who do not respect Allah" could possibly have any trouble with the example of a "Prophet" who murders a young girl's family, forces her conversion to Islam, and then rapes her.
Well, and maybe the girl herself—but how often does she even have a chance to tell her story? Thanks to Raymond Ibrahim for his translation here.
I think enough Mahoundian women have made themselves perfectly clear enough, that there is no particular reason to trust any of them...

Thanks for posting this, Apostate Islam.
Here's a comment posted on the "Police protect girls forced to convert to Islam" story (all poor grammar and misspellings original):
Im a muslim and proud to be one, just reading some of the text i am not surprised at how ignorant most of you are about islam and muslims. moreover you are also more ignorant about you reality as i can notice this is just another attack towards muslims by hater of islam,
This police get excited with this kind of action as they think it will help them combat "extrimism" but you know all they do is like a baldheaded man trying to smash this huge mountain(i.e. ISLAM) by his head you will know what the end result will be.
As regard to forced conversions!
Let it be know that anyone who is forced to be a muslim is not a muslim because there is no compulsion in Islam so if you have any "boys,girls,daughters,sons,nice,nephews,exwifes,exhusband,sister,brothers,aunties,uncles,fathers,mother,girlfriend,boyfriend,neighbour,neighbouress" who you thinks are forced to islam plz let them know this. their faith is not accepted while they are forced they have to come buy their one free will to bring faith in Allah and his Last Messenger Muhammed...
- ylli, london, 02/06/2010 02:37
....................
Along with endless quoting of the abrogated "no compulsion in religion" line from the Qur'an, this is something you often hear from Muslims in reference to forced conversion.
Please not—"ylli" here is not really claiming that Muslims do not threaten, coerce, or bully Infidels into converting to Islam—he merely states that such forced conversions, if not heartfelt, are *not accepted by Allah*.
So, what this implies—if one were to accept the Muslim worldview–is that such Infidels are first forced to convert, and then suffer at the hands of "Allah" in the afterlife for the superficiality of such conversions.
Of course, any children born from such such forced conversions would be raised Muslim—so who cares if a few insufficiently pious "reverts" wind up in hell?
After all, a forced convert-who knows that the penalty for refuting their "conversion to Islam" would be death—is the ultimate dhimmi, in a way that even the most cringing of "protected peoples" cannot match.
Either way, a great "victory" for the "Religion of Peace".
I quote from Barnaby Rogerson´s unpleasantly adulatory "The Heirs of the Prophet Muhammad":
"The next wife to arrive, Raihanah bint Zayd, was a tragic figure. She was a jew from the Beni Nadir who had escaped the exile that was imposed upon her wealthy tribe by marrying into one of the other grat Jewish clans of Medina, the Beni Qurayzah. When that clan also fell before the muslims in the aftermath of the failed pagan siege of Medina oasis (627) Raihanah passed to Muhammad as part of his share of the booty while her Jewish husband - and all his fellow cousins and clansmen - were executed. Whether out of grief at their fate or a deliberate desire not to antagonise any of his existing wives, Raihanah preferred to legally remain a concubine rather than become a free Muslim wife. Her meek demeanour allowed her to exist quietly in the Prophet´s house and she would die five years later, a shadowy figure in that household that otherwise blazed with such strong characters. The other Jewish woman in the harem, Safiyah bint Huayy, was not so self-effacing ..."etc etc
They should be GRATEFUL! The poor women.
Ah yes: here´s a good one from the introduction. " Ali, the fourth Caliph, is the linchpin of the whole tale, a figure crafted from the purest principles of honour, truth, bravery, integrity and faith. He is the knight gallant that stands behind all our tales or chivalry, both of the East and the West."
Bleh. They behaved like the half-civilized barbarians they were, are described as the wonders of the ages, all ages.
I'm in essential agreement with your comment, Infidel Pride, EXCEPT for those women raised Muslim who truly want to leave Islam because they see all the misogynistic rot (and other rot) in Mohammedanism but who are in fear of their lives if they act upon their convictions. Yes, I have no sympathy for Muslim women who are enablers of what is an evil religion. I don't even have any sympathy (well, maybe just a little) for those Muslim females who have many doubts about Islam but who still make excuses for it. But those females in the Muslim world who just want to get the hell out but know that trying to do so comes with all kinds of consequences, sometimes even death, well, for these women I do have sympathy.
What percentage of the Muslim female world such women represent, I do not know. But if it's only 1% of this portion of mankind, that would translate into probably at least a few million. And that's a lot of human beings to disregard or have no sympathy for. And what if there are only twenty or thirty thousand (I seriously doubt it's this low), that's still a good many trapped souls towards whom indifference, I would argue, is not an option.
I followed the link from apostate islam -
yes,Britain is now well on the way to being a third world country
I'm not being overly pessimistic - I think with the eu's plans to import more muslims , Britain will be finished in 40 years .
Think of when the mass importation of muslims began -
30 years ago maybe ? and you can realise just how quickly a society can be destroyed - a society that took forever to build up - there's the pity

Meet your future Members of Parliament. I'm sure they will fully uphold the rights of non-muslim's in Great Briton.
I'm glad that the girl is safe and alive. Indeed, this commission of deceit and violence by these Muslims against this Christian girl and her family should be brought to the attention of the entire world and condemned, particularly by so-called moderate Muslims and human rights groups.
Heartbreaking but unfortunately these stories are extremely common in any country that has a sizable muslim population.
Too bad the 'Greatest Generation' didn't eliminate this strain of fascism-Islam, along with Nazism during WW2, looks like the job falls to our shoulders.

Agree.
"High time we in the anti-Islamic movement stopped paying even lip service to any Muslim victims of Muslims." - Infidel Pride
Wellington,
No one is disputing the appropriateness of feeling concern and sympathy for the Muslim women who want to escape Islam. The point is, can we translate that concern and sympathy into practical policy, given the concrete context of both 1) the nature of the prison we would be saving them from; and 2) the nature of the dangers which Muslims pose to us while we are embarking upon such a grand project?
1) This isn't an ordinary prison with defined parameters. This isn't even a vast country like the U.S.S.R. which at least had definable borders. This is a worldwide diaspora as much in people's brainwashed heads as it is in an amorphous socioculture whose hundreds of millions of members are dispersed in nearly every country on the globe, and whose various networking serpentine grapevines we still do not sufficiently understand. Extraction on a mass-project scale becomes difficult if not impossible. Individual commandos composed of Blackwaterish and/or Christian missionary private citizens may save a Muslima here, a Muslima there, but this is different from a rescue operation of multitudes on an international scale.
2a) The nature of the dangers which Muslims pose to us has many features which further obfuscates our ability to discern which Muslimas are genuine and which not -- among them: taqiyya, and the depth of brainwashing which installs microchips so deep there may be superficial signs of mental freedom in a given Muslima, but Islamic supremacism beneath the surface, sometimes even below her conscious awareness.
2b) A rescue operation on a scale that matches the victims in number and geographical dispersion has the potential of interfering with the steps we have to take to protect ourselves from Muslims in general.
There are times, for example, during disasters (natural or man-made) when any effort to save all of those in its maelstrom would likely jeopardize a greater number of lives. The hard decision has to be made sometimes to refrain from trying to rescue everybody, in the interest of saving the most possible, since the former is reasonably estimated to result in higher casualties in the end. And when, in the case of the problem of Islam, those higher casualties will be on our side, it becomes a no-brainer.
Your points are well taken as usual, Hesperado, but I didn't read Infidel Pride's comment that it's "High time we in the anti-Islamic movement stopped paying even lip service to any Muslim victims of Muslims" as, per your assessment, "No one is disputing the appropriateness of feeling concern and sympathy for the Muslim women who want to escape Islam." The "any" in IP's statement is what jumped out at me and led me to conclude that IP meant that no woman in the Islamic world should be the subject of sympathy or perhaps even presented a route of escape by us kuffaars. So, I dispute your conclusion about no one disputing that sympathy should be extended in the direction I indicated in my post above.
Now, I have no quarrel with IP and, in fact, almost always agree with his statements and think they are cogently argued, but in this instance I felt compelled to reply and put in a word for those abused Muslim women who know in their heart that Islam is wrong but who also (often terrifyingly) realize there is little or no avenue of escape for them. Of course, Infidel Pride can best answer for what he meant (I wish he would) and I meant no disrepect towards him. Indeed, I indicated that I largely agreed with him.
One other point and it is this: If Islam is to be eventually assigned to marginal status or even oblivion, it is imperative that as part of the dismantling of the Islamic monster that large numbers of Muslims, both men and women, realize that they've been had by one of the great con artists of all time, Mohammed. Final victory for the good guys entais, among other things, major desertion of the evil ideology known as Islam. We need, as I have observed before, many Whittaker Chambers in the Muslim world, though I agree with you that we cannot jeopardize our own interests by either being too sentimental or too believing of what Muslims tell us.
"I was afraid to return home, lest my parents kill me, though what happened was against my will."
But I thought that islam was a religion of peace, or ...
perhaps her parents misunderstoond the koran?
Nah!
Champ
the girl is a Coptic Christian.
She is living in a society where the mores of Islam have infected and affected those - such as her parents - who are not Muslim (and who, indeed, have suffered and suffer much, because of their courageous refusal to convert to Islam).
Thus she could say that - waking up after having been drugged, raped, and dumped - she was afraid to return home to her parents.
Still, if you read the whole story carefully, you soon realize that her parents (unlike Muslim parents with a 'dishonored' daughter) did not kill her; for she has lived to tell the tale, and now her parents and her whole community are suffering with her.
I recall reading a story that was the account of a formerly-Muslim man who had been involved in seducing, abducting and raping Coptic girls.

Confessions of a Former Islamist

He had repented, become a Christian, and was now making the whole ugly story public...and also finding the girls who had been abducted, and helping them return to their families. He still seemed to be amazed by the fact that in nearly all cases, the families, rather than rejecting their 'dishonored' daughters, were overjoyed that they were alive, and took them back, into their families and into the faith (such girls were often helped to hide, in other parts of the Coptic community); behind his amazement, one can see his awareness of the stark contrast between the way Christian parents behaved, and the way Muslim parents would have behaved toward a daughter who had been raped.
Wellington,
Though I've known IP a long time, I can't necessarily speak for him in this specific regard; but I suspect his locution was meant in the spirit of rhetorical frustration -- and also factored in the psychology of Westerners who tend to be too good for their britches: I.e., IP might well conclude (and I'm not so sure he'd be wrong) that the only way to disengage the gigantic lumbering U.S.S. Compassion from its course to save Muslims (currently piloted by PC MC, but with anti-jihad substitutes waiting in the wings to keep it more or less on course), is to stop the initial trigger that sets it going in the first place, and keeps it plowing irrevocably toward disaster.
Even if it were probable, as you hope, that Muslims would in the future jump ship in sufficient numbers to save the world from their Islam, I maintain that we have to be very careful about readjusting our policy on a macro scale to accomodate that expectation -- for such a readjustment could well mean the lives of thousands if not millions on our side.
I don't know about you, but I'd rather gamble with their lives -- not ours.
I just got a horrible shock.
My old high school publishes a glossy magazine twice a year relating the various events that have taken place throughout the year and the year before.
So, I'm thumbing through "Spring 2010" and I come to this:
"Thirteen faculty and staff attended Georgetown University's Faculty Workshop on "Islam and the Middle East" in March 2009. This professional development workshop was sponsored by the Prince Alwaleed Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding...to build stronger bridges of understanding between the Muslim world and the West as well as between Islam and Christianity."
Shock. Horror.
Then, of course, the Propagandist par excellence slave-to-Islam and Saudi Princes' Esposito is quoted from the Center's website with his usual Dhimmi drivel.
I feel sick. This is my old school - with the faculty swallowing this BS and then going to pass it on to naive, unwitting, students. And I can tell by the names of the faculty who went that they turned it into a kumbaya love-fest, and isn't Islam wonderful, and so misunderstood! I'm sure they were just all yucking-it-up and drooling over Esposito and whomever other evil sycophants'-to-Islam at the "Center." Because, like Islam, I consider someone like Esposito, with his lie-filled Islamic agenda, to be evil.
It also makes me sick to see how "Muslim" and "Islam" come before "Christian" and "Christianity" up above at the "Center." Disgusting. Because of this SHAME I won't be donating financially to the school anymore - instead, I'll send that money to Jihad Watch.
A small photo accompanies. A portly middle-aged Muslim female in a headscarf is holding up some papers she's apparently discussing while assorted Dhimmi faculty at my old school listen dutifully.
Kim
you could try fighting fire with fire.
Does the school library take donations from alumni?
In which case, they could be offered the following: Ayaan Hirsi Ali, 'Infidel' and 'Nomad'; Marjane Satrapi's graphic novel 'Persepolis' and a dvd of the film that was made from it; Brigitte Gabriel, 'Because They Hate' (a good half of which describes 'growing up in Lebanon in the middle of a civil war' and is **full** of stuff - such as her learning English by watching episodes of 'Dallas' on TV, and her teenage crush on a handsome fellow-Maronite soldier boy - guaranteed to appeal to teenage female readers); and Nonie Darwish, 'Now They Call Me Infidel'.
All these are well written and entertaining, the personal stories of intelligent and creative women, beginning in childhood and proceeding to adulthood; but they also include useful object lessons about the malevolence and misogyny of Islam. Ayaan and Darwish describe the process of exorcising Islam from one's system in order to become a free woman; Satrapi even though she hasn't fully freed herself, still provides plenty of food for thought, in the shape of a lot of confronting information about what sharia when imposed does to a society; and Brigitte Gabriel's is a powerful cautionary tale.
You probably wouldn't be able to sneak Wafa Sultan's 'A God Who Hates' past their screening, but you'd have a chance, at least, with the Darwish and the Hirsi Ali books.
Another book that you might be able to sneak into their library as a 'gift from an old student', is Geraldine Brooks' 'Nine Parts of Desire'. It's a bit woolly in places, but it still contains plenty of information that rang *my* alarm bells, back when I was just beginning to learn about how horrible Islam is. She has a whole chapter on 'honor' murders. Oh, and there's Waris Dirie's 'Desert Flower', which includes a hair-raising stomach-turning description of what FGM feels like when it's being done to you. The book's not perfect from the Islam-fighting POV, but it does describe some horrid facts the girls are unlikely to be told otherwise.
Think carefully about your spiel, that you will use when you turn up, sweetly smiling with your bundle of books, and then see what you can do. Your aim is to get into that school library at least one book that contains a significant portion of the Awful Truth About Islam.
Why are Copts too cowardly to stand up for themselves? I have a hard time feeling sympathy for people who won't even defend themselves in a country where an ak-47 is both cheap and easy to acquire.
Sure Jesus taught about turning the other cheek, but the bible was also pretty clear about an 'eye for an eye' being perfectly acceptable as well.
Let's be honest here, how many of you think the kidnappings would continue if a Copt went on a shooting spree everything it happened?
