و"الأقباط متحدون" تشكر الكاتب الدكتور مجدي زكي على هذا المؤلف الذي أضاف إلى المكتبة القبطية والتراث القبطي الكثير من التأصيل العلمي لتاريخ الأقباط.
Le mot copte, syllabe unique et sonore comme un petit coup sec, se confond avec chrétien d'Egypte. Mais étymologiquement, il est la déformation arabe d'un terme grec, qui signifie égyptien, lui même dérivant d'ho ki Phtah, temple de l'esprit de Phtah, dieu créateur de Memphis, antique capitale égyptienne.
Ce livre relate l'histoire tourmentée de ces Coptes, depuis leurs origines pharaoniques jusqu'au XXIè siècle. Il dresse l'inventaire saisissant de leurs tribulations sans négliger d'aborder le sort comparable d'autres opprimés en terre d'Islam : Juifs, Arméniens, Berbères, etc. L'ouvrage comporte aussi d'importants développements inédits sur l'origine et l'expansion de l'Islam, la politique de Byzance, les Croisades, la célèbre expédition d'Egypte de Bonapart.
Dans son argumentation, l'auteur s'appuie sur les témoignages des grands chroniqueurs musulmans : As Souyouti, Baladhuri, Gabarti, Hakam, Ibn Assir, Ibn Hicham, Ibn Iyas, Ibn Khaldoun, Ibn Saad, Makrizi, Waqidi, etc.

Beyond al-Qaeda. Part 1 and 2 The Global Jihadist Movement
This book is now available
Defeating Al-Qaeda will require more than a military strategy that attacks the core group's top leaders. Even if the military were to eliminate Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri tomorrow, the world's most dangerous terrorist organization would continue to wreak havoc. Al-Qaeda can do this because it can rely on a large peripheral network of cells and affiliate groups, which are local Islamist organizations with local grievances that are equally committed to global jihad.
