[afanous]

Dear KK and dear El Asmar;
I would like to thank you both for your concern. Yes, my entire family still lives in Egypt and I myself return to Egypt every summer (in August, if that makes the life of Amn El Dawla easier) My family and I do not care, simply because there's nothing to be afraid of. What is the maximum that can be done to us? Killing? Torture? So what? Are we better than our ancestors the great martyrs who gave their lives for Christ? I am here in this forum to voice my opinion about the calamities that Copts in Egypt face. I don't insult anyone and I do not preach Muslims to leave their religion. I believe what I am doing is in harmony with the Egyptian Constitution and is in fact protected by it.
By revealing my identity, I am hoping to encourage other Copts to throw away the mask of fear they have been wearing for ages and to start fighting for their rights using all legitimate means.
Much love, Andrew!
