I granted some Coptic Christian cases in Arlington.  Very nice people with an interesting and inspiring history.  The only problem I ever had was that every Coptic Christian wanted to tell me the complete history of Coptic Christianity — not a good “fit” for a “three hour slot.”  I soon went to “proffers” of evidence as the cases were all well-documented and supported by the country background materials on Egypt.

I fully agree with Mr. Tadros that Egypt’s loss is our gain.  As he suggests, it would be great if President Trump could help protect and improve the situation of these long-suffering people.
