Why is the world standing by while islamists attack Coptic Christians in Egypt?

[Obama fails]

Has the USA and Europe really in a suicide pact to not bother with these militant killers

Why is it you only care about those who share a religion with you?

The "liberals" running the West are allergic to Chrisianity. The mere mention of it sends them screaming into the night. Silent screaming, of course.

It is mostly Islamic militants that are getting killed.

“The Egyptian defense minister ordered the engineering department of the armed forces to swiftly repair all the affected churches, in recognition of the historical and national role played by our Coptic brothers,” read a statement that aired on Egyptian television.

Bishop Mousa thanked Sisi for his efforts to repair the damaged churches.

“We thank Col. Gen. Sisi for commissioning the brave Egyptian armed forces to rebuild the places of worship damaged during the recent events,” Bishop Mousa said on Twitter.

the UN sees no human right's abuses because muslims are murdering Christians. They only see abuses if we ask US citizens to have an ID to vote.

This might involve boots on the ground. Does the U.S. really want to have another war in the middle east just now? The American people are quite tired of that. As much as our instinct as Americans is to help people, those people themselves must see the value of peace. I could see us offering asylum to Copts who are persecuted and even helping to evacuate them if need be. A show of force, sending some aircraft carriers to the coast of Egypt might give pause to the peacebreakers. Yeah, it is a mess over there. I think our leaders are trying to do what they can without shedding more American blood. We do have options but we must be wise in what we do.

Maybe because it's an internal Egyptian fight, because Coptic Christianity does not exist outside Egypt, and if other countries intervene it would only increase the hostility between Muslims and non-Muslims.
