Coptic Christian deportations underway

By David F. Dawes

THE DEPORTATION of 20 Egyptians from Canada has begun, and advocates for the group insist that they will be placed in severe danger if they are returned to Egypt.

The deportees, all of whom are Coptic Christians affiliated with the Church of Virgin Mary and St. Athanasius in Mississauga, tried unsuccessfully to obtain refugee status in this country.

Meanwhile, some Canadians have taken up their cause. They insist that the claimants will be subjected to discrimination by Egyptian authorities, and will be targeted by some of the country's Islamic extremists.

The case has drawn some prominent media coverage. According to the January 4 National Post, the claimants maintain they are facing a perilous future: "Mina, a refused claimant who asked that his real name not be used, said he was stabbed multiple times in a 1998 confrontation with a group who later burned his welding shop in Alexandria."

A group of Muslims, Mina told the Post, "called me at home, and they said: 'We're going to kill you.'" Further, "[They] told my brother-in-law, 'We know he's coming back soon, and we're ready for him.' I don't know what's going to happen to me, but I know I'm not going back to my home.'"

Such fears are confirmed by Majed El Shafie, who heads the Toronto-based One Free World International. A one-time Muslim, he maintains that he was tortured by Egyptian government authorities some years ago for advocacy on behalf of persecuted Christians.

Of course there is a bias the government and political parties are being infilterated with muslims, i just hope Canada doesn't pay dearly from that islam tolerance they have.

Hello my Dear friend, very worry this situation, special about our brothers Coptic in this painful situation.

But is coming something to my head i would like to ask, why the deportation, if we Copts are Christians, and Suppose to be we "Canada" is free Country, so why this kind of Deportations, we have to unify ourselves together, then fight for our rights.
I'm not agree for this kind of deportations, very painful really.

Why Moslam people can't leave us alone, until when this persecussion, , we never go or burn, the mosques, or rape his women, with the veil, or burn the HOLY QURAN, so why they do that to us, i mean ) really i'm not agree, what kind of people they are,?.

Personal i don't think all of Moslam people are like this, but lee? keda? el mayority people do that? please i need several answers to my question, please, and sorry , ashan i can't understand,
Thanks..........
We must pray in the name of God and JesusChrist to save our people in trouble...........
