A rapid evolutionary process provides Sudanese Copts with resistance to malaria
The study published in PNAS sets out how, in just 1,500 years, the #Copts have acquired a genetic variant that protects them from contracting #malaria after mixing with other #Sudan ese populations […]

Accusations of “Islamophobia” don’t land with #Armenians, #Assyrians, #Copts, #Greeks, #Persians, #Hindus, #Christians & others

For many, Islamic conquest is remembered #not as #tolerance, but as #subjugation, #legal #inferiority, #child #seizure, #sexual #slavery, #extortion & #recurring #violence

Over 1400 years the #Arabs #invaded and #colonized the world.
They cannot give up one inch of it to the #indigenous people they stole from: #Copts, #Berbers, #Assyrians, #Yazidis, #Kurds, #Druze, #Jews, #Christians & others.

But #Israel is the #occupier ???

Candace Lukasik, Martyrs and Migrants: Coptic Christians and the Persecution Politics of US Empire (New Texts Out Now) I first traveled to Egypt in 2007 for an Arabic-language program. During that initial trip, I became well-acquainted with a Coptic Orthodox Christian family in Cairo’s Masakin Sheraton neighborhood. I...

"Journeying back and forth across sites of migration between Egypt and the United States, the books shows the everyday practices and processes that shape transnational Coptic communal formation and belonging." #Coptic #Copts #Egypt #Christianity

Representing original African Christianity, the Coptic Church of Egypt exists under pressure from Islamic society - Teologia.fi The Coptic Church of Egypt represents the oldest form of Christianity in Africa: it is anchored in the Christian faith that took root among Egyptians in the Apostolic Age. Today, the Copts are a perse...

The Coptic Church of Egypt, representing the oldest form of Christianity in Africa, continues to uphold its ancient traditions despite facing significant pressures as a minority within a predominantly Islamic society.

#Egypt's #MB & #FJP as disgusting as ever... Denying & justifying Minya events & blaming #Copts in the village...

Minya Diocese Statement on #Sectarian Attacks in #Egypt... #Copts are still being stripped and their homes burned...

Stories of #sectarian attacks on #Copts in #Egypt keep getting worse, this time too graphic to share! #Christians #Sectarianism #Minya

The #قول_كلمه_لاخوك_المسيحي hashtag has now succumbed to photos of #ISIS beheading the #Egypt'ian #Copts and threats of more of the same...

#ArabLeague Sec-Gen Arabi's remarks were only sectarian against Catholics and Protestants. Sadly, don't expect #Copts to condemn. #Egypt #PT

At least al-Arabi had the sense not to mention #Copts... Good forbid @PopeTawadros would defend Catholics & Protestants! #PT #ArabLeague

Residents of home village of #Copts killed by #ISIS in #Libya protest building of church there - #Egypt #Sectarian -

Anyone still saying that #ISIS beheading #Copts video is fake?? #PRT #Egypt

#MB apologist Wagdi Ghoneim has justified the beheading of the 21 #Egypt'ian #Copts by #ISIS in #Libya... Not at all surprising... #PRT

#Copts, even more so than Catholics, see their Pope as a "father," and being connected to #Egypt only strengthens that feeling.

#Egypt'ian "activists" who haven't said one word of condolence for #Copts killed by #ISIS but won't shut up criticizing gov't: No comment...

The idea of Papal patronage over #Egypt's #Copts won't go away any time soon, so might as well live with it, like #Sisi does.

This guy (@AhmedMAbaza) claims to be an @NBCNews journalist and is calling for the killing of #Egypt'ian #Copts in #Libya... Comment?

Only, #ISIS did #MB one better and carried out what they called for; MB just stuck to tearing down churches and kicking #Copts out. #Egypt

Regardless of whether or not #MB and #ISIS are linked, both publicly called #Copts apostates and called for retaliation against them. #Egypt

Mohamed @ElBaradei's tweet on #Egypt'ian #Copts beheaded by #ISIS is even more lackluster than usual... Disappointed but not surprised...

Reminder in light of #Copts killed: Christians were never told to take up arms or seek divine revenge. We are to "bless those who curse us"

Also among tonight's, well, something: Muslims telling other Muslims it's forbidden to wish that #Copts "rest in peace"... #Egypt #ISIS #MB

And not just #Qatar'is, most middle easterners and many #Egypt'ians too... #PT #ISIS #Copts

Via @Cairotoday: #Egypt's President #Sisi to speak now... #Libya #Copts #ISIS #MB

As always, @AJArabic lying about #Egypt, saying families of #Copts killed blame #Sisi... All they want is bodies to bury... #ISIS #MB

Many only care about the #Copts killed by #ISIS as a way to attack #Sisi... They're not any better than those who are silent. #Egypt

The kind of thought in the #PRT isn't new, pro-#MB tweeps have used it for a long time... #Egypt #Copts
