Egyptians move to ban Christian transplants

DoctorThe Egyptian Parliament is considering a move to ban Christians from buying transplant organs from Muslims.

 

Michael Munier of the U.S. Copts Association says the move is strictly a matter of discrimination against Coptic Christians by a group associated with the Muslim Brotherhood. "The excuse they are giving is that they are trying to limit rich Christians from buying organs from poor Muslims -- as if all Christians in Egypt are rich and able to do such a thing," he chides.


Munier notes that the proposed law would not ban rich Muslims from buying organs for transplant from poor Muslims -- and he suggests the West should be concerned because the law could have fallout elsewhere.


"Egypt always leads the Arab world in these...crazy religious edicts that come out of these crazy religious fanatics," Munier continues. "It will become law in the majority of the Middle East which will impact Christians, Jews...visiting these parts of the world.


Munier believes the U.S. ought to be concerned about the proposed edict because Muslims are intent on taking over Western countries and bringing their religious ideas with them.
