Over the weekend, the group threatened more attacks on Christians:
That renewed threat prompted interesting commentary from former Obama Homeland Security Advisory Council member Mohamed Elibiary. He claims that the Coptic Christians in Egypt — the largest Christian population in the Middle East — have it coming:

He is drawing an analogy between being anti-Muslim Brotherhood, and mass murder.
His past anti-Christian statements have been denounced by Coptic church leaders:
And yet he has repeatedly denounced “collective guilt” when it comes to the Muslim community:
This is quite the role reversal from 2014, when Elibiary’s tweets warning of an inevitable caliphate were used by terror recruiters to push Islamic State propaganda:
Yet that was hardly Elibiary’s first brush with controversial extremist statements:
So it was no surprise that Obama’s DHS told members of Congress that his appointment would not be renewed:
