A Warm Welcome to US President’s Visit to Egypt

A Car Bomb Explodes in Front of the Virgin Mary Church in Cairo. Egypt’s Health Minister Determined to Call the Army to Kill Pigs and the Livelihood of Christian Copts Inciting Hatred and Violence on the Rise against Egypt’s Christian as False Fear of H1N1 Intensifies If this is Not Islamic Terrorism what would it be called?

The announcement of President Barack Obama’s visit to Egypt seems to be unwelcomed by the regime. The regime and its alliance of terrorists expressed their rejection of the intended trip by President Obama to Egypt. The attack was reported by some news agencies. Assyrian International News Agency reported that "a car bomb exploded next to the Virgin Mary Church in Zeitoun, Cairo. The explosion occurred minutes before a wedding celebration. Egyptian law enforcement arrived on the scene and sealed off the area. Various people were held in the Church for interrogation and some arrests were made."

The announcement of the trip was made by Mr. Robert Bibbs, the White House Press Secretary, on Friday, May 8, 2009. MR. Gibbs said "I think the issues of democracy and human rights are things that are on the President’s mind, and we’ll have a chance to discuss those in more depth on the trip". Apparently, Mr. Gibbs’ statement regarding human rights issue has scared the regime’s leadership, NDP, Mubarak’s Party, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Jihadists. Their bloody message came in Iraqi fashion: a car bomb.

On the front of killing the Pigs owned by Coptic Christian Farmers, the Health Minister, Hatem Al-Gabaly, threatens to call for Egyptian Armed forces to compel Christian farmers to give in their pigs voluntarily for killing. So far, not one single case of H1N1 Flu has been confirmed in Egypt. Last week, the media kept spreading fear among Muslims about Swine (Pigs) Flu, despite no reports of infected cases. According to Arab Jerusalem, a Newspaper based in London, "on the past few days the regime has already used the Army against Christians." But the armed forces did not mobilize all energies yet. In interviews with some satellite channels, the Health Minister announced that two Egyptians suspected of contracting the virus came from Germany, got sick, and are in quarantine for medical examination. Nevertheless, the government’s media keeps feeding Muslims with fear and hatred of the Pigs and Christian Coptic owners to intimidate and incite violence against them.

The call by Mr. Gabaly about the use of the Armed Forces against defenseless and peaceful Christians must considered terrorism.

Instead of fighting the deadly Liver disease Hepatitis C in Egypt, which kills thousands of Egyptians every year, the Health Minister wants the army to kill pigs and the livelihood of the Copts. According to the Medical Writers’ Circle on August 2006, the estimated adjusted national prevalence rate of severe Hepatitis C infection is 7.8% of Egypt’s population, or 5.3 million people in 2004 (American Journal of Gastroenterology, 2006). Currently, this number may be as high as 7 million people in Egypt. According to Egypt’s government, that the authorities have killed ,22,000 healthy and uninfected Pigs, until now.

These facts clearly show the evil intent of the Mubarak regime represented in his Health Minister’s Terror statements.

More violence and hatred against Christian Copts came out from Al-Azhar. The same Arabic Newspaper reported "there is an agreement between Al-Azhar’s Grand Sheikh Mohamed Sayed Tantawi and the Mufti Ali Gomaa, to cancel the collective prayers and worship fearing the Swine Flu. The Declaration to abolish the collective prayers will be in effect, as soon as the World Health Organization, WHO, declares level six of the H1N1 threat."

The exaggeration and enlargement of the fear of the H1N1 Flu is used to cover up the regime’s failure to stop Hezbullah and Iranian infiltration and influence. Such influence is spreading and expanding quickly among Muslims, who look at Mubarak as a traitor, especially after the war in Gaza, as well as attacks on Christians.

Obviously, Mubarak’s regime is unqualified in helping make peace in the Middle East. His terrorist regime is involved in committing crimes against humanity. It is clear the regime thrives on making trouble, not peace, to survive.

Unfortunately, the silence of the White House and the US government is interpreted by Mubarak’s regime as a green light to press ahead with its terror campaign of persecution against the indigenous Christians of Egypt.

The American Coptic Union will not stop calling on President Obama to halt Mubarak’s campaign of genocide to uproot Copts from their own homeland and hold him personally responsible for these crimes.

Now it is the responsibility of the President of United States of America, Barack Obama, Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, and the US Congress to prevent Mubarak from using the Army in such barbaric fashion. Recently, the US has approved $1.3 Billion as military aide to Egypt. ACU is seeking the following from President Obama, and US government:

First, this military aide should be suspended immediately, unless the regime retreats from using these weapons against native Egyptians.

Second, American Coptic Union is calling for President Obama, to make the Human Rights, and Freedom of Religion the core part of his speech to the Islamic World from Cairo
