Congressman Frank Wolf: Coptic Christians Fear for Their Future in Morsi's Egypt

Republican congressman Frank Wolf (R-Va.) who has recently returned from a Middle East visit has warned of eroding U.S. credibility in the region, especially in Egypt, because of the Obama administration's support to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Wolf also said that U.S. aid to Egypt should be "conditioned" on how the current regime of President Morsi treats its Christian minority.

Wolf says that many churches have been desecrated, and no permits to build new churches have been granted since the January 2011 uprising.
