Bishop Thomas speaks on Coptic Christians in Egypt

[hetismij21]

I feel this bisshop is sincere.

[QuranTafseer]

InshAllah the copts will no longer be persecuted in Egypt seeing Mr Mubarak has been kicked out

[MrVoiceofmoderation]

Hands off Iraqi Christians you Islamist lunatics!

[mounirdaking]

that guy who talkin is full of shit .... im coptic mouslim .. copt means egyptian .. not christian .. so fuck off

[xoxoMerDer4ever]

@mounirdaking  haha it's kinda funny, because you have no idea what your talking about. Coptic is the language spoken in the Coptic orthodox church thereforevwe are called copts. Get your facts straight buddy

[mounirdaking]

@xoxoMerDer4ever lol .. u just dont under stand ...i know its the language & this language was only spoken by egyptian ..not just christian egyptian ... after that the church keep usein it after islam with arabic ..... so yea its funny still bcuz u missd the point .

[xoxoMerDer4ever]

@mounirdaking No I think you missed the point. I am aware that it is the ancient language of Egypt, but you said so yourself, the church kept using the language in the liturgies and muslim people don't. So hence my point of why we are called coptic.

[mounirdaking]

@xoxoMerDer4ever .. man they only use it in church but most of christian ppl in egypt dont even know it .. so they are just like the muslims ...and i think u know this fact

[academygirls111]

@mounirdaking right

Muslim Egyptians are the same race and genetics as the Christians ones .

difference between modern Egyptians is mostly religion

@xoxomerder4ever yes we all spoke coptic language until most Egyptians became Muslims and therefore lost the language..but genetically we are the same people

so to differentiate between Muslim and Christians.Arabs called Christians copts

but most Muslim egyptian and copts are the same people..

converting is not mixing with arabs

[WorldIslamicOrder]

looks like a demon possessed crossworshper.

[xoxoMerDer4ever]

@WorldIslamicOrder You are a sad excuse of a person...

[WorldIslamicOrder]

He looks like a character from a Star wars movie. You aint getting Egypt back. Too bad Islam is in Egypt to stay and you aint getting an inch back. His explanation of linguistic terms is false and redicilus.

[xoxoMerDer4ever]

@WorldIslamicOrder First, next time reply to my comment so that I get a notification that you answered me. Second, learn how to spell; last time I checked it was ridiculous not "redicilus." Third, I am Coptic Orthodox, so I respect your religion and you respect mine, there is no need for comments like that. Lastly, I hope one day that Muslims and Copts can live peacefully together in Egypt.

[pharo1964]

Chritianity and Islam have been co existing side by side in Egypt .. I don't really understand all the fuss caused by those idiots who say they are persecuted by Muslims, if that was the case then there would not be one Church standing in Egypt right now

[rogvr781]

The argument that chrisitians within Muslim society had a great time because they still do exist today, is a totally cynical joke !

One could draw a parallel by claiming that the African Americans fully enjoyed the past 500 years in slavery because they constitute 20% of the US

Christians in the Balkans middle east,Spain, Silk-road have been suffering second class citizenship during the past 1400 years.

[xoxoMerDer4ever]

@pharo1964 Are you kidding me? You honestly think that there are no persecutions in Egypt?

[mounirdaking]

@xoxoMerDer4ever well allow me to say YES there are persecutions but its not just 4 christian .. but muslims 2 .. and no body can say thats not the truth 

[xoxoMerDer4ever]

@mounirdaking Oh really, you wanna tell me that Muslims are persecuted in Egypt? Get your facts straight.

[mounirdaking]

@xoxoMerDer4ever .. hell yeah muslims are persecuted in egypt and all arabia ... u kiddin me ??? thats the only fact that we muslims & christian sufferin in our own countrys ... so pls dont make it looks like we are the bad guys ..and u know what i have a christian frind right now and he is saying ur dont know what u talk abut and he thinks u are not even egyptian & u dont know nothin abut our egypt

[xoxoMerDer4ever]

@mounirdaking All i said was Muslims are not really persecuted in Egypt, its mostly Christians. So don't put words in my mouth. I am not making you like the bad guy, wtf are you even saying. Yeah, I live in the US but I am Egyptian.

[mounirdaking]

@xoxoMerDer4ever well stay there .. i think ur more lucky then christian & muslims then right ?? stay there and let us solve our problems ...

[xoxoMerDer4ever]

@mounirdaking Well you are not doing a good job solving those problems, considering what just happened to a church in Alexandria.

[mounirdaking]

@xoxoMerDer4ever well i think what happend is just happin bcuz ppl like that stupid bishop talkin .. its a words of hate .. and thats the results of his speach .... im so sorry 4 what happend but dont forget there are muslims got hurt of what happend in that church in alex .. and now we all know that islam is not bhind that bomb bcuz its not in the name of islam .. what abut that now ?? have u even see what christian in egypt said ?? i dont think so

[WorldIslamicOrder]

funy hat - looks like a rave dencer.

[xoxoMerDer4ever]

@WorldIslamicOrder Would it kill you to show some respect?

[MrNzer]

Ok !! so whats his point now? sounds like so confusing and telling that people were forced to convert to islam ? 80% were converted ? hmmmm its not really satisfactory your majesty

[313Nell]

Egypt isn't a fundamental state, and fundamental Islam is rootless in Egypt. The gov eradicates all fundamentals regularly. The guy doesn't speak about the last century alone, he is another coptic separatist and Muslim hater campaigning for his separatist aspirations

[Barradin]

@313Nell You are the Christianhater

[Bishkes]

@313Nell i don't think he hates muslims... he loves them actually, what did he say that let's you think like that? that islam invaded egypt? but that's true that's what happened... the islamic expansion happened in egypt through the use of violence, this is a historical fact... it was not that the egyptians called the muslims on their mobile phone and told them: hey we have a pretty land here for you, come and take it... or what do you mean, why he is a muslimhater?

[Bishkes]

or do you just accuse him to be one, because he is christian, and because he is, you hate him, so you accuse him of something that is not true, to make him a bad man, only because you hate him, because he is christian? ;)

[TheJCArena]

Except Islam turned on the Copts last century with the rise of islamic fundamentalism. The hope for Egypt is a truly secular state, minus the islamofacism.

[313Nell]

The Copts embraced Islam in huge numbers, we Muslims Egyptians are Copts no doubt, but we chose Islam willingly and found joy and relief in it.

The Muslim conqueror lifted taxes from the poor and restored Bishop Benjamin to the position which the Romans denied him

[313Nell]

If you hate Muslims who have been good to you for 1400 years, didn't massacre you , didn't treat you like the romans, and you long to massacre them, we can understand it because copts=hatred,

but it is unethical to fake historic events, it's a disgrace rev. Thomas

[313Nell]

What a hater!

But Sir Thomas Arnold thinks otherwise; he described how the Copts were oppressed by the Romans and how they welcomed the Arabs and how the Arabs honored them and their Patriarch. The Coptic priests are men of war no doubt!

[zarthoshti]

God bless the persecuted Copts!

[MenechemShaul]

Copts are nothing more than Catholic pegans without the pope! Messiah taught, lived and breathed Judaism, so did his Apostles and the early church!

Ce temple surnommé HEK KA PTAH (le chateau de l'âme de Ptah) devint le surnom de la ville . C'est par ce surnom que les Grecs prirent l'haibutude de designer toute l'Egypte "Hekkaptah" devint Egyptos

[DeRoquencourt]

Chers frêres Coptes nous vous aimons, nous respectons votre courage. Egyptos gave through arabic language Kopt mais avant d'ou vient le mot Egypte ? Les Egyptiens anciens appelaient leur pays : "Kemi" La terre noire

(black land). mais à Memphis ville du delta frequentée par les Grecs s'elevait le grand templs de Ptah .

[god1is1love]

we love you soo much our bishop THOMAS AND we pray for you

[starfish50]

God bless the persacuted Copts and deliver them out of the opression of Islam
