My Way News - Egypt's Christian minority rally behind charter
My Way News reports: "Tensions, not new between Islamists and Christians, took a turn for the
worse after the Islamists' rise to political prominence following the
ouster of longtime autocrat Hosni Mubarak. Determined to institute
Islamic laws in legislation and way of life, the Islamists have
alienated Christians- and deepened suspicions that a more Islamic state
would only aggravate Christians' longstanding complaint that they are
treated as second-class citizens."
Comment: If the new constitution passes it will be good news for Egypt's embattled Christian minority. If it fails, there is a good chance the persecution will continue and possibly increase.
