Obama-linked Islamists Downplay Coptic Suffering on Social Media

Dalia Moghaed, credited with helping President Obama draft his June 2009 Cairo speech about American relations with the Islamic world, recently downplayed attacks against Egypt's Coptic Christians on a Facebook page.
More than 80 Coptic churches were burned by Brotherhood supporters after the Egyptian military's crackdown last month on Muslim Brotherhood encampments in Cairo. A local branch of the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party appeared to sanction violence in retaliation for the Coptic Church's backing of the Egyptian military.
Nonetheless, Mogahed pointed the finger at the Egyptian media.
"The Egyptian media took advantage of the Copts to achieve many personal/political gains, which has angered the West," Mogahed said in a Sept. 22 post which appeared on the Facebook page of the Egyptian Americans for Democracy and Human Rights (EADHR).
The EADHR was founded by members of the Muslim American Society (MAS), which in turn was founded as an "overt arm" of the Egyptian Brotherhood.
Mogahed isn't the only American Islamist tied to the Obama administration to slam the Copts on social media.
In a Sept. 15 Twitter post, Mohamed Elibiary, a member of the Department of Homeland Security's Homeland Security Advisory Council, accused American Coptic activists of fanning hatred of Islam.
"For >decade since 9/11 attack extremist American #Coptic activists have nurtured anti #Islam & anti #Muslim sentiments among AM RT wing," Elibiary wrote.
In earlier tweets, Elibiary attacked American Copts for protesting against how their relatives in Egypt have been treated by the Islamists.
"Good read by @mwhanna1 on need to reform #Coptic activism in #US including stop promoting #Islamophobia," Elibiary wrote Sept. 14.
"I think the Obama administration should be ashamed to have had someone like this in their administration," said Michael Meunier, president of Egypt's Al-Haya Party and a Coptic activist. "This underscores the thinking inside the Obama administration."
Brotherhood groups in the United States and their supporters are lashing out at the Copts, who have been among the Muslim Brotherhood's visceral critics, and dismiss their grievances as mere bigotry. Meunier charged that the Brotherhood is trying to slander the Copts to reduce their effectiveness.
"The Copts have nothing to be ashamed of. Morsi made the Copts' lives' hell, so they got together with the moderate Muslims to overthrow Morsi," Meunier said. "The Muslim Brotherhood victimized the Copts, and now it wants to blame them."

How, how, how?? in the 21st Century can the human race [.that should cover everyone..I think! ] continue to slaughter one another with the false claim of ' religious decree' ..millions of unique humans have been exterminated by evil people, {So many of whom have been brain washed } in the name of this 'this God' or 'that God' ..or 'this prophet' or that 'prophet' .. All religions claim to be peaceful but seem to abhor other religions and their followers, some religion's followers even kill people of another section of their own faith. [For the greater 'good', just demonstating to the rest of humanity " A Greater Evil "] highlighted by the numerous genecides, 'Hitler's 8 -10 million Massacre' of jews, mentally disabled & , homosexuals. and then of course 3 thousand + souls in 9/11.' ad infinitum. ' ... What a nauseous, load of clap-trap this religious nonesense really is ! It's just a good reason to Kill or maime others who, with the intelligence (God gave them!) sorry.. "they were born with", have a different view of life...and their purpose in life.
Without religion and its evils we could have been hundreds of years more advanced, or even found other planets to habitate peacefully, Mind you we would probably go back to squabling and killing over a few square metres of 'land' or who pulled a nasty face at us!!

Whichever is more sad;
America losing its respect for its Constitution
Or losing its role in spreading freedom
Solve the mystery .... preserve the constitution .... spreadingfreedom
Prevent a new Holocaust in Egypt (by Egyptians to Egyptians)
I need to certify what I am about to write
There is a report by the Institute, "Gallup" ............... (second half of 2010 - under the name of Egypt: The Arithmetic of Revolution )
Under the supervision of "Dalia Mogahed - an American of Egyptian origin
This report is the key to the mystery
So that the "Obama" to deceive America and the American people
And even wraps around the great American Constitution
Reviewed by people who have used in the extraction of the report's findings ((supposed to be neutral and random))
If those people or most of the group are from the "Muslim Brotherhood"
This is a sure evidence that the regime is trying to trick (American public)
This report is the justification for many policies Tournament America deadly Boom Bnibr 25 2011
Date of report (the second half of 2010)
President Clinton or President Reagan or President Nixon
The biggest mistakes were not mistakes, but trying to lie about their mistakes
America for this great nation
I think you understand what I want you to say
Only reviewed the report .. Maintained only to the Constitution .. just stopped the biggest "Holocaust" was located in the "Egypt" .
