Mosque at Ground Zero

[Logan Darklighter]

I'm still working on a main post that I think will be ready later today. But I just found something very interesting. Remember when M Fnord posted the following?

At one point, a portion of the crowd menacingly surrounded
two Egyptian men who were speaking Arabic and were thought to be
Muslims.

"Go home," several shouted from the crowd.

"Get out," others shouted.

In fact, the two men – Joseph Nassralla and Karam El Masry — were not
Muslims at all. They turned out to be Egyptian Coptic Christians who
work for a California-based Christian satellite TV station called "The
Way." Both said they had come to protest the mosque.

"I'm a Christian," Nassralla shouted to the crowd, his eyes bulging and
beads of sweat rolling down his face.

But it was no use. The protesters had become so angry at what they
thought were Muslims that New York City police officers had to rush in
and pull Nassralla and El Masry to safety.

"I flew nine hours in an airplane to come here," a frustrated Nassralla
said afterward.

But hey, they're Egyptian right? All that Christianity must be a cover
so they can CONVERT US ALL INTO GOOD MUSLIMS OR DHIMMIS! EURABIA!
EURABIA!

Here is the statement from Joseph Nassralla, the gentlemen the media
is using the smear the historic
protest against the Ground Zero mosque.

Dear
Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer,

I am Joseph Nassralla, a
Coptic Christian activist from
Egypt
and founder of The Way TV, a Christian Satellite
TV station.

I attended the 10,000 person protest
rally against the
building to the ground zero mosque which took place at ground
zero in NY on
Sunday June 6th. We Coptic Christians wanted to express our 

full support to your initiative and to this important rally.

There was a minor incident at the rally
that was blown out of
proportion, when my partner , Mr. Karam El Masry, and I were
distributing
material with some Quran verses and we were also speaking Arabic thus we
were
mistaken by a few people in the huge crown, for being Muslims
infiltrators
trying to disrupt the event.  This misunderstanding was
clarified
when we explained who we were and that we are there to support the crowd
against
the building of the mosque. I was a little frustrated initially for
being
identified as a Muslim infiltrator, but was glad that the issue was
resolved
later. My partner, Mr. El Masry, was even able to freely speak to the
crowd
after our identity was clarified. He explained how Christians are
tortured,
killed and oppressed in Egypt at the hands of Muslims who are encouraged
to
persecute Christians from the pulpit of mosques by Muslim preachers.

The reason I am writing to you, is
because I am very
disappointed in the mainstream media who used this minor incident to
make a
blanket generalization about all the attendees of the rally as Muslim
haters.This kind of generalization was unfair to the good American
people who
legitimately stand against the building of a mosque next to ground zero
and who
are against Islamist agenda in the US. I am very well aware of such an
agenda
which has destroyed the Christian and Jewish existence in the Middle
East.

The same mainstream media who denounces
painting all Muslims
with a broad brush, is doing the same thing they claim to stand against.
They
shamelessly use our incident to paint with a broad brush that everyone
in the
rally was a Muslim hater. I want to make it clear that we are not haters
of
Muslims, but we are against the Islamist agenda in America, the same
agenda that
drove us out of our homeland Egypt. We have the right to expose Muslim
hate and
oppression against us, the minorities
in the Middle East who are oppressed on a
daily basis by the Muslim majority. This mosque should never be built
next to
ground zero, it is an insult to the memory of the 3000 fellow Americans.

We did not mean to cause any
misunderstanding at the rally,
on the contrary, we came to support you and your organization. We come
from a
Muslim country where we suffered from Muslims and the Islamic Shariaa ourselves.
That's why we felt burdened to attend this rally and flew for 9 hours to
be part
of it.. We do support you with our heart and soul, and will always
support you
and everyone who is opposing Islam. We do honor Mr. Robert's invitation
to
attend your next rally in September, God's willing, and are looking
forward to
seeing you there..

We have come to America to seek refuge
from the oppression of
Islam and expose to the American
public what kind of instigation we suffered at
the hands of hateful Muslim preachers who incite the worshiping crowds
to burn
our homes, kidnap our girls and suppress our freedom to practice our religion.
We will never allow media misrepresentation to stop us from our mission.
Yours truly,

Joseph Nassralla
