No wonder Obama and the lefties support the Islamists......
As Egypt's Islamists blame Christians for the ouster of Mohammed Morsi, anti-Christian violence has reached epidemic levels, with an estimated 82 churches across Egypt attacked and heavily damaged by Morsi supporters in a mere 48 hours.
Unfortunately, the persecution of Christians is nothing new in Egypt or other Muslim-majority countries. But thanks to the mainstream media, few Westerners understand the true scale or nature of the horrors involved.
As you read this, Christians around the world are being murdered, raped, plundered, abducted, forcibly converted to Islam, or otherwise oppressed by Muslims. Christians in Muslim-majority areas are some of the most vulnerable and horribly oppressed people on Earth; they live at the mercy of the mob and receive little or no protection from the police or other government institutions.
The reach of this silent tragedy is sweeping -- a global religious genocide on "slow burn" with occasional conflagrations that make it into the mainstream media. There are an estimated 100 million persecuted Christians.

[Author] Ibrahim "broke news" in 2012 merely by translating into English that Saudi Arabia's highest religious authority declared it "necessary to destroy all the churches" in the Arabian Peninsula. The shocking statement, by Abdulaziz ibn Abdullah Al al-Sheikh, the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, was widely reported by Arabic-language media, but the Western mainstream media avoided coverage of the outrage. As Ibrahim argues, the media willfully ignore such news because it contradicts their narrative that all Muslim violence is motivated by some socio-economic or political grievance.
But the West risks its own demise by ignoring four truths:
1) a hateful, absolutist ideology drives Islamist violence against non-Muslims,
2) sharia's draconian penalties for apostasy and blasphemy maximize Muslim demographic growth because nobody can safely criticize or leave Islam (including those converted under duress),
3) sharia destroys the rights and freedoms cherished by the West, and
4) sharia creates a Muslim monopoly on the marketplace of ideas -- something antithetical to any free society. To survive, the West cannot let sharia laws take root in Muslim-majority communities in Europe and North America.
