Denying the suffering of Christians under Moslem rule is what Said wants the West to do. The denial of Christian suffering by Christians who lived among Moslems is a phenomenon that is always overlooked. As Christians who live in Egypt, neither Said nor I could marry a Moslem woman unless we convert to Islam; as Christians neither Said nor I would be allowed entrance to some Arab cities; as Christians, neither Said nor I would be allowed to build a church without permission from the President of Egypt. Why is Said quiet about that?
