Exodus or Endurance: The Plight of Egypt’s Christians

Not every U.S. ally is a democracy, but partners receiving American aid should not trample basic freedoms like religious liberty. Years ago in Egypt, Coptic Patriarch Pope Tawadros II told host Cliff May that discrimination was easing under President Sissi. Today, USCIRF reports show the opposite: systematic repression of religious minorities. FDD’s Mariam Wahba, writing recently in The Free Press, calls out the “brazen attacks on Christianity” in Egypt and beyond. She joins Cliff to discuss what’s gone wrong — and why it matters — on Foreign Podicy.
