christians in islamic countries

Submitted by sohair hakim (Egypt), Jul 10, 2006 at 11:53

I am a christian , a middle eastern christian. I live in Egypt and my parents were born here too. we are not copt, meaning the egyptian christians, we are a mixture of greek orthodox. I have a family and my husband is armenian, but also born in egypt , he even served in the egyptian army in 1973. Of course we feel we are a minority, and our greatest concern is that the country turns into the hands of the muslim brotherhood.

Where can we go?? We have all western educations, we all travelled to europe and canada several times, bur what if something happens here?? why do the western countries do not give us the privilige of travelling there if anything happens here in egypt. Arent we better than the other muslims who have the privilige to live in christian countries, we the midlle eastern christians should have more credits and access to go there. Please let this subject take a priority and to be of a great concern before anything happens to us

Thank you for taking this subject seriously,

Sohair
