December 4, I wrote about how Muslim attacks against Egyptian Christians was buried on page 19 of the newspaper, and I speculated that had it been the other way around, we would have seen front page coverage.
You will be pleased to know that we are making progress. New Year's Eve, at least 21 Coptic Christians were killed in Alexandria by a Muslim suicide bomber. The Alexandria governor blamed al-Queda. Christians are upset that the government does not seem to take seriously the anti-Christian sentiment among Muslims. Does that sound a little like the American government? We virtually strip little gray-haired Granny of her clothes at the airport while the dark-skinned, bearded guy with the turban sashays through with nary a look because we certainly don't want to be accused of profiling.
Oh -- the progress we're making? This report from Egypt was covered on page 12. We've moved up seven pages!
