U.S. Copts and Fox News Partner on Egypt Project
Washington DC Nov.15, 2006
Dear Copts and Friends,
I’m pleased to share with you news of Fox News Channel’s upcoming special report on religious freedom in Egypt, in which I had the pleasure of co-operating with Fox News producers and journalists during this past summer.
U.S. Copts has joined with international cable television giant the Fox News Channel to create a televised special report on human rights abuses against Copts in Egypt. The report, part of a new Fox News series on religious freedom in countries around the world, features exclusive interviews with Coptic victims, priests, and others inside Egypt.
In the summer of 2006, I traveled to Egypt with Fox News journalists where we went on locations all over Egypt to shoot hours of documentary footage highlighting victims and sites of anti-Coptic human rights abuses.
The footage include those of destroyed churches, victims and their families. If the serious is to come out in the way I hope too, it will provide a great exposure for our cause. My understanding is that the initial report which will air starting today will be a short program. However, I am promised by Fox that the hours of tapes they recorded will be used in another full hour special on Egypt and the Copts.
The entire series, including the Egypt report, airs this coming Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, November 15- 17, 2006 on the Fox News Channel at 7.00 PM Eastern Standard Time (2:00 AM Egypt time).
Best Wishes,
Michael Meunier
If someone can digitally record this on Fox News and somehow send it my way, I’d be very grateful.

Do you know of any good source material on Coptic activism/lobbying in the States?
do not worry, if he started it on Fox, then most probably will youtube it as well..

Please just give it a chance. I hope it is very professional and done in good taste. I’m eagerly anticipating it and I’ll try and record it and send it to you guys.
I’ve personally met Michael Meunier. He’s a good man with good intentions. He only really wants what we all want, which is a better and brighter Egypt!
