The Copts have a long, abiding hatred for Jews, holding all Jews and their descendants guilty of deicide, a belief laughable on its surface. That now they want to ally themselves with Jews as a matter of convenience, who face the threat of islam and are fighting back, tells us how desperate they felt in Egypt under Morsi. But I, for one, would never trust them. Their religion, like islam, despises Jews and Judaism for the same reason: rejection of their respective gods.

I always enjoy reading Ashraf Ramelah’s essays. Recently, he wrote how al Sisi visited a rape victim in the hospital and brought her flowers. This was momentous in that it signified that rape victims are victims, a revolutionary stance against Sharia.

observe, ladies and gentlemen.
In the report, we have a Copt who has shaken off dhimmitude, and renounced antisemitism, and is speaking at a rally on behalf of Israel (which is assailed by Jihad, because it is a Jewish sovereign state re-established on land that was once seized and stolen and occupied by Muslim imperialists; and Muslims cannot *stand* that), and on behalf of all those minorities (overwhelmingly non-Muslim) who are assailed by Jihad.
And so, right on cue, up pops “wolf” (whose moniker is not that of a regular at this forum), proclaiming loudly and categorically that all Copts hate Israel and Jews (obviously, “wolf” has not met Raymond Ibrahim; if Raymond Ibrahim, who is Coptic, were as viciously antisemitic as “Wolf” claims all Copts qua Copts are, Raymond Ibrahim would not be a good friend and colleague of Mr Spencer’s).
Trying a spot of “split the camp”, “wolf”, eh, by attempting to foment distrust between two sets of victims of Islam who are just tentatively beginning to rethink their relationship and make common cause?
