For Immediate Release

Saudi Arabia behind “TALABANIZATION” of Egypt

USA Must Start A Rescue Mission For Egypt Now and Show Strong Support to Millions of Protesting Copts in the Heart of Cairo!!

American Coptic Union is sending this urgent message to President Barack Obama, US State Department, and US Congress.

Saudi Arabia and its Wahabbi regime are setting fire in Egypt in general, and to Egyptian Copts in particular.

First we would like to share President Obama, and American people the rejoice of killing Usama Ben Laden the head of Al-Qaeda. In addition, we also would like to express our appreciation to the President Obama, and the great people of America for their stand and support for our long time demand removing the dictator of Egypt, Mubarak.

Although killing Osama bin Laden was a good step for the US, it does nothing for the Copts in Egypt. this incomplete victory should not hold US back from achieving the ultimate goal of USA in eradicating Al-Qaeda from the Middle East and especially in Egypt. We are still being beaten, raped, kidnapped, exploited, and killed on a daily basis. Osama bin Laden does not affect our situation in the slightest.

As far as we’re concerned, terrorism is alive and strong in Egypt. The revolution was stolen by the Islamists. People who oppose the Brotherhood and other groups are threatened and even killed. Their goal is to subdue the people, particularly the Copts, and to turn Egypt into an Islamic state once more. They are backed by the American-financed military.

Since the fall of the Mubarak regime, Islamic and terrorist groups in Egypt changed their name to “Salafists,” using this nomenclature to hide their crimes and to appear secular to the West. These terrorists, along with the terrorist and racist organization Muslim Brotherhood, hijacked the revolution and are launching terror attacks on Egyptians, particularly Copts, who support a secular Egypt.

Over the past 100 days, terrorists in Egypt launched more than 50 attacks on Christian churches and communities, massacring hundreds. Those who weren’t killed or injured in the attacks were kidnapped, never to be seen again.

The United States is responsible for this. For decades, they supported the former regime under the banners of “stability” and “peace in the Middle East.” There is no peace in the Middle East. Over 500,000 Coptic girls were kidnapped, raped, and forced to convert to Islam. Copts suffered economic aggression when their businesses were burned to the ground. Churches are burned to the ground and dozens of Mosques used as launching pads against Christians. There are still massacres in Coptic villages. Yet, the United States still defended the regime because it bent over to external powers and forces. Currently tens of thousands of followers belong to Al-Qaeda in Egypt pose a poisoning spike on the back of Egypt, and Israel, and mostly to the interest of United States.

Last Month, Jihadists –Salafists and Arab Tribes declared their first Islamic State (Emirate) in Qena in Upper Egypt. Raising the Saudi Flags, cutting the only Railways that connect Upper Egypt to its Lower, blocking the Highways, and erecting a terrorist Sheikh as ruler to that Islamic Emirate.

In recent attacks on Coptic churches in Embabah, the Army and police did not interfere to stop the massacre of more than 60 unarmed Christians. In fact, the Army arrested many injured Copts, accusing them with false charges. Others were arrested while receiving treatment for their wounds. This is nothing new to us. Under the Mubarak regime, the Army and police did the same thing. It is clear they support the Islamization of Egypt as well as these acts of terror. The Army needs the green light from the US since the US continues to provide military aid. But the US does not want to give the green light. A secular Egypt will most certainly break away from the US, thus becoming a major roadblock the US’s goal of dominating the Middle East.

It’s clear fact that the Army does not want and capable for going after and facing the huge Al-Qaeda network, and its branches including its infrastructures, because, first the Army is so small that can’t clean up Egypt from this cancer, and secondly, the Army is looking for the green light of the US, and the west to do this mission particularly they are not trained for Cities and Guerilla warfare.

Finally, we would like to address the following point to be considered by President Obama, and US Congress:

·          United States must discuss and pressure the Supreme Military Council in Egypt to destroy and exterminate all Salafists-Jihadists of Al-Qaeda and its infrastructure in Egypt.

·          Because of Egypt’s Army is not ready and trained for such mission, United States must join the Egyptian Army in this humanitarian mission with EU participation covered by  UN approval.

·          We are certain that this mission will be supported by millions of Muslims and Christian, because both of them have fed up of the Salafists barbarian actions even against Muslim people and institutions.

Finally, time is running out, and acting immediately before is too late is highly recommended. Please remember that action would permanently change the Middle East to a better peaceful place for every and all people live in this flammable region.

Sincerely;

Rafique Iscandar-American Coptic Union, President
