Here is what I sent out to about 200 good people:


I totally support the following statement by Dr. Ali Alyami, President of the Center for Democracy and Human Rights in Saudi Arabia, condemning the brutal attacks by Muslim fanatics against Egyptian Coptic Christians and other religious minorities in Egypt. Such injustices demonstrate the need to promote the Just Third Way (http://www.cesj.org/thirdway/comparison3rdway.htm) and the work of the global Coalition for Capital Homesteading (http://www.capitalhomestead.org).

Economic democracy based on widespread access to capital ownership is the essential foundation for future political democracies within Egypt and other countries seeking to escape from poverty and totalitarian regimes. Where the fanatics seek to impose a religious state to oppress all "non-believers" (i.e., people who don't agree with them), the Just Third Way would create a nation of capital owners and a just market economy in which all citizens would become personally empowered and protected against violations of human rights by the tyranny of any religiously-oriented majority or minority group.

If you agree to my stand, please send your endorsement of my position to Dr. Alyami.

In Peace, Prosperity and Freedom, only through Economic Justice for all,

The Center for Democracy and Human Rights in Saudi Arabia (CDHR) condemns the vicious attacks on the law abiding Egyptian Christians (Copts) and all religious minorities in the Arab World. The estimated ten million Egyptian Christians are the true natives of Egypt. They were in that land long before Islam arrived, yet many of them have been murdered and their shrines and other properties are frequently destroyed for no reason other than their religious orientation.
 

The Copts were in the forefront in Maydan Al-Tahrir (Tahrir Square) alongside Egyptian Muslims protesting to rid Egypt of Mubarak’s oppressive regime which is being accused of instigating the current attacks on the Copts in the hope of creating a sectarian conflict to show that Egypt is worse off without him.
 

The US government, NGOs and media must stand by the Copts who happen to be the most democratic, tolerant and progressive people in Egypt and the rest of Arab World. Muslim people worldwide, especially Muslim communities and organizations in the West who cry wolf anytime anyone criticizes Islam or Muslims should speak up against the atrocities committed against non-Muslims in Arab and Muslim lands.
