From Mary Bulak ( Telephone call to ACU)

March, 23 2006

Mary reported that her two daughters , Marian, 13 yr. and Kristine, 15yr. when have been kidnapped 2 years ago.

The girls kidnapped by a Sheik who kidnapped the daughters is a neighbor to Bulak’s family, his name Ali Ibrahim Ali Katamesh, on Dec. 2003, who identified Kristine, and Marian as his own daughters and dropping off the biological father from the “Civil Records Office”, it is that simple.

The government agency of Civil Record Office as well as the police, made it very easy to accomplish the crime. Al-Arabia Channel hosted an Islamist Lawyer, Ahmed Sha’ban, who explain the Islamic Law in this case. He said that the girls can not be returned to their family, because Islam disallow “ Apostasy”, in addition, that Islam allow children conversion at the age of seven years old regardless of their parents religion or permission!!!!.

He ignored the fact that Marian, and Kristin were kidnapped , rapped, and forced to marry the Muslim abductors in the first place.

The SSI has protected the criminals, and provide a safe house for them. Recently, the mother appeared on a TV show, begging all audience and viewers help her restore her daughters. Unfortunately, the TV show host 2 other guests ( Muslims pretend Christians) , who accused the mother's behavior, calling her a prostitute. The SSI and other government agencies know the location of the girls, and refused to help the mother to meet with them. American Coptic Union, report the case to the US Embassy in Cairo seeking the help for the mother.

Our past experience in similar, and such abducting crimes by Muslims perpetrators, shows that the Christian kidnapped girls appear to the public, and/or TV interviews, brainwashed and tripped out.

For example , on April 28, 2006, Al Arabia Satellite Channel has broadcast an interview with the two Christian under age victims . They appeared veiled , and introduced with their Islamic names, carrying their new born children. Ironically, they disowned their mom, and Dad claiming that (kidnapping) is their choice to stay with their Muslim abductors

The following is the letter sent to USA Ambassador in Cairo_ Egypt.

Dear Sir;

I am writing to you regarding the case of the two kidnapped underage Coptic Christian girls, Kristine, and Marian, and their mother Mary. Thanks to Mr. Kenna Roger at the Human Rights Department, for his time and effort interviewing the mother , and listening to her part of the crime, on Jan 24, 06. The mother called American Coptic Union telling that she received threats against her and her youngest daughter, 11 years old, as a result of that meeting with Mr. Roger, on Feb.7, 2006. These threats includes kidnapping of her remaining young daughter, and harmful action against her personally. In addition to physical threats, some Islamic web sites raised, 2.5 million Saudi Riyal, for the two kidnapped girls, and for transferring them to Saudi Arabia along with the perpetrators. Not only this, but the government agencies and authorities has committed perjury by changing the name of Kristine, and Marian's biological father to a Muslim identity.

Unfortunately, she said while crying over the phone "I was told during the meeting at the Embassy that I have no legal rights to restore, and see my daughters".

The fact of the matter that there is no law on the earth prevent a mother from seeing her daughters. Despite it is a natural right for any parents to see, meet, and live with their kids, the Arab Republic of Egypt, and its Islamic Sharia Laws treated as an exception in that case.

The current status of these two kidnapped girls is based on a crime committed by some Muslims, SSI, and government agencies, and we believed that US Embassy should not accept or recognized the current circumstances, that were imposed by force and act of criminal. As long as Islamic Sharia is against the Natural and Human Rights we should not support it. We believe that is the policy of United States.

American Coptic Union is addressing this case as a sample for 500,000 Coptic Christian girls kidnapped, and rapped by the Islamic Arab regime of Egypt, on the last 25 years. We have been working hard with USCIRF, Department of State, members from US Congress for more than ten years to set this topic as a major issue on the US foreign policy with Egypt .This is reason behind our request to get the Embassy involve in these cases.

Mr. Ambassador, we would like to request the following on behalf of the mother:

She requests the US Embassy, and the Human Rights Dep. to address this request with the proper officials to meet and see her kidnapped daughters in regular basis. Also she is ready to accept them as they are now. We hope that the Embassy will offer all help and support for her, and we would like to have a response for that request as soon as you can. Thanks and God bless.

Sincerely;

Rafique Iscandar

American Coptic Union –President.

Egypt: Christian Wife Kidnapped:

While in Lebanon for work, an Egyptian Christian man named Gerguis met and fell in love with a beautiful young woman, Achwak. She, too, became a Christian, and the couple was married and soon blessed with a child.

The couple planned to visit Gerguis' family in Cairo Egypt. Work prevented Gerguis from leaving immediately, but his wife and young son went on ahead. Little did they know of the difficulties that they soon would face.

In Egypt, it is customary for a Christian convert to take a new Christian name. However, in Lebanon, the custom is different, and Achwak kept her Muslim name.

Included in her papers that allowed her to enter Egypt was her Marriage Certificate showing that she was now a Christian. At the airport Achwak faced persistent questioning by officials. They said she should not have converted to Christianity, but rather her husband should become a Muslim like her.

The officials took her son away from her; and after several hours of questioning, she was allowed to leave but was told to arrange for her husband to pick up their son. Gerguis quickly returned to Egypt. He was questioned for many hours before being allowed to take custody of their son. The family then lived in Egypt for two years.

A beautiful daughter was born, and Gerguis applied for her birth certificate. The authorities refused to issue one, saying that Gerguis had to become a Muslim before it could be issued. He refused to do so and left without the birth certificate.

Muslim extremists were watching this Christian family, and they kidnapped Achwak. Devastated, Gerguis contacted her family in Lebanon, only to learn that a Muslim named Sheikh Moamen had urged them to make sure their daughter converted back to Islam. Gerguis pleaded with the Sheikh for his wife's return. The Sheikh affirmed that this could not happen unless Gerguis and the two children convert to Islam.

Gerguis quickly arranged for his two children to go into hiding and with tears sought help from VOM contacts. Our contacts informed us, "Women are often raped in such circumstances and their shame used to further isolate them."
