CAIRO (AP) — Egypt’s Coptic Christians have long felt like second-class citizens in their own country.<\/p>\n

Now many fear that the power vacuum left after the overthrow of Hosni Mubarak is giving Muslim extremists free rein to torch churches and attack Coptic homes in the worst violence against the community in decades.<\/p>\n

An assault Sunday night on Christians protesting over a church attack set off riots that drew in Muslims, Christians and the police. Among the 26 people left killed in the melee, most were Copts. For Coptic scholar Wassem el-Sissi, it was evidence that the Christian community in Egypt is vulnerable as never before.<\/p>\n

Because of the limited allowance by AP, I cannot reprint very much of the story on Watchwoman blog, so you’ll have click below \u2193\u00a0to read the full story:<\/em>

I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible.
