(CNSNews.com) – Coptic Christians and other Egyptian-Americans plan a rally in Washington, D.C., on Thursday to highlight what they say is a pro-Muslim Brotherhood bias by the Obama administration and “certain American media.”
They also have the Council on American–Islamic Relations (CAIR) in their sights. CAIR calls itself “the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization,” but as far as the rally organizers are concerned, the group acts as the “embassy” for the Muslim Brotherhood.
Coptic Solidarity, East Coast Coptic churches and others involved in the event said participants would convene near the White House late morning, later move to the DC offices of the Washington Post about half a mile to the north, and then to the offices of CNN in northeast DC.
“The objective is to expose and denounce the terrorist acts by the Muslim Brotherhood and its allies, and to expose the bias of the Obama administration and certain American media towards the Brotherhood,” they said in a statement.
The demonstration will then head for “to the headquarters of the Islamic organization CAIR, which acts as the ‘embassy’ of the Brotherhood’s International organization in Washington,” it said.

Normally journalists have to chase the news down. On Thursday, the news came right up to one newspaper’s door.
An anti-Muslim Brotherhood protest which started at the White House made its way up 15th street and ended at the Washington Post’s building at 1150 15th Street NW. The building went on lockdown, some Post reporters tweeted. According to a Post spokeswoman “the front lobby was closed for a very short time for safety.”
Washington Post video journalist Whiteny Shefte also tweeted out some photos of the protesters.
