Islamic Revival

  Media office Wilayah Egypt H. 25 Shawwal 1433 M. 2012/09/12 No: M 12/37 The disbelieving West, led by America, exploits the Copts and Immigrant Christians to attack Islam and implement its colonial goals (Translated) It has been reported that some so-called called immigrant Copts (namely Copts who were under a covenant of protection of Egypt's Muslims and immigrated to America) were amongst those who produced a film about the Prophet - sallallahu alaihi wassalam - peace be upon him - abusing him in it. These associations labeled as ‘immigrant Copts' are suspicious, having close links with U.S. intelligence. America uses them as a pretext for intervening in the affairs of Muslims, for putting pressure on their governments and the public opinion, and for exploiting them for political blackmail and executing plans.

In Egypt, protesters climbed over the US embassy in Cairo and teared the American flag, while in Libya, an angry and armed crowd surrounded the US embassy in Benghazi setting it on fire after throwing grenades and storming it with live bullets. The US Ambassador to Libya was killed in addition to three other foreign service personnel. 1  Many Libyan security forces sacrificed their lives while trying to protect the embassy during the encounter. This incident comes at a very delicate time when the US is trying to rebuild relations and trust with the Muslim world after the Arab revolutions. In the past, the Western-backed tyrants of the Middle East used to rule by an iron fist and would have crushed such protests, but today the Arab world went through a transformation that has set limits on these regimes.
