I think the fact that they are not attacking Coptic Christians right now is a pretty good indication that this hate is geared at the US.

I disagree that the media should keep quiet on his religion to protect egyptian christians from reprisals. Free speech goes both ways, man. And his religion is relevant to the larger story. We don't shut down koran burning pastors to protect the troops, we shouldnt block a guys personal info when he makes his life an open book through his actions.
