"When (Mubarak) announced he would leave in September, the church supported that transition in power to a truly democratic state. But it's chaos now. "Who is running the show? How do we know the Copts will be treated appropriately?" CNS: Priest wonders if Egypt will be better for Christians with Mubarak gone FIRST THINGS: What Happens to Egypt's Christians After Mubarak?

February 15, 2011 (Mat 5:10-12) Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you.CNS: West cannot understand risk of 'Islamization,' Iraqi archbishop warns STATFOR COMMENTARY: Egypt: The Distance Between Enthusiasm and Reality
