‘I speak on the Coptic Christian protest and the tragic events occurring in Egypt. I am greatly disturbed and alarmed, as are many Christians, including the Coptic Christians in Sydney, by the rapid turn of events in Egypt and the senseless loss of life overall. I had the opportunity of observing some of these events during my nineday visit to Egypt, which commenced on 30 June this year. I arrived at the climax of the peaceful revolution by 33 million Egyptians calling for the removal of President Morsi. Coptic Christians are now living under siege all over Egypt as the Muslim Brotherhood unleashes its terror after having launched widespread coordinated attacks on Coptic Christians throughout Egypt. For that reason, I believe the Muslim Brotherhood should be declared a terrorist organisation.
‘As a result of these disturbances and violence, more than 80 Coptic churches, monasteries, schools, and Copticowned prop erties across the country have been destroyed in violent rampages by members of the Muslim Brotherhood since the military crackdown. Hundreds of Copts have been killed and injured. Eleven Coptic Christian institutions have been looted and burned, including an orphanage. Coptic churches dating back as far as the 4th Century have been destroyed. The Copts are not the only target. In an effort to terrorise the entire country, the Muslim Brotherhood has also reportedly killed hundreds of policemen, stormed and attempted to take over police stations, burned blood banks, and damaged hospitals and public buildings, includ ing historic museums in Upper Egypt where more than 1,000 ancient Egyptian artefacts were stolen. They even attempted to burn the Library of Alexandria. They are intent on turning Egypt into a rogue State for their own agenda.
