Muslims in the Netherlands have offered to the threat of Islamic terrorists against the security of the Coptic churches of worship. They wanted to "protect against the threat of al-Qaida" the Copts, the three largest Dutch Muslim organizations said on Tuesday

The offer will be seriously considered, said the pastor of the Coptic Church of Amsterdam. The Coptic community was grateful for it. The Muslim organizations called on followers of Islam, to condemn threats against Christians: "Above all we must do this because al-Qaida claims to act in the name of Islam."
