Egypt's Accusations Have Canadian Coptic Christian Fearing for His Life
(Toronto Star-Canada) Rick Westhead - Nader Fawzy, 52, who lives in Toronto, learned last week that the Egyptian government holds him partly responsible for the video lampooning Islam's Prophet Muhammad. Fawzy said the government in Cairo has targeted him to settle political scores because he is a Coptic Christian activist who has spent years fighting to promote the rights of Egypt's eight million Coptic Christians. Prominent imams in Egypt have issued fatwas against him and other Copts, urging Muslims anywhere in the world to behead them. "I'm not surprised that they want me arrested, but I'm shocked they say I had anything to do with this video," Fawzy said.
