Remember that "yardstick" post?

There's tons of articles this morning about how the Egyptian army has removed Coptic Christians from Tahir Square and denied them the same protests that Muslim protesters have enjoyed for weeks.

I understand that this was partly to ensure their safety, since there are still an awful lot of radicals running around Cairo (Muslim Brotherhood, et al) that might take advantage of this and bring anger and hatred raining down on them... but it can't be discounted that this might be the beginnings of an "Islamic" resurgence that makes being a Christian in Egypt as dangerous as ever. Things are not getting better in Egypt at a fast pace, I can tell you that.

I'd say the 13 dead Copts would agree with me.
