The Assyrian International News Agency website reports today (September 6, 2010) that Coptic (Orthodox) Christians in the U.S. and Canada staged a peaceful rally on September 2nd outside the White House to protest the persecution of Copts in Egypt.
The motto of the rally was "President Mubarak Make Peace in Your Country First."
Mubarak, who is a Muslim, is in Washington, D.C. to attend the Arab-Israeli peace talks.
According to the rally organizer -- Coptic Solidarity, based in North America -- the Egyptian president is a key partner in the persecution of Copts. Coptic Solidarity also emphasized it must tell Mubarak to "stop persecuting the Copts...make peace in your own country first."
