Libya: Seven Egyptian Christians found dead on beach

Feb 24, 2014 11:37 am By Robert Spencer

Indian.ChristiansWho in Libya would have a grievance against Christians? Well, last September, two Egyptian Christians were murdered in Libya after refusing to convert to Islam. And the country is full of “brigades of former rebels and Islamist militias in a country awash with weapons.” So the likelihood that these seven Christians were killed under similar circumstances, or for offending Islamic supremacists in some way (perhaps by their very existence) is very high.

“Seven Egyptian Christians found shot execution-style on Libyan beach,” from Reuters, February 24 (thanks to Maged):

(Reuters) – Libyan police have found seven Egyptian Christians shot dead on a beach in eastern Libya, security officials and local residents said on Monday, in the second such execution-style killing since the start of the year.

A police officer told Reuters the bodies were found with gunshots to the head outside Benghazi in the east, where assassinations, kidnappings and car bombs are common and Islamist militants are active.

“They were killed by headshots in execution style,” a police officer said. “We don’t know who killed them.”

A local resident and an Egyptian worker, who asked not to be identified because of fears for their security, said unknown gunmen had arrived at the Egyptians’ Benghazi home and dragged them away the night before.

Security sources confirmed the Egyptians were Christians. No further details were immediately available about how they were killed or whether they were shot on the beach.

No group claimed responsibility. Three years after the revolution that ousted Muammar Gaddafi, Libya’s weak government and army struggles to control brigades of former rebels and Islamist militias in a country awash with weapons.

Last month, a British man and a New Zealand woman were shot execution-style on another beach 100 km (60 miles) to the west of the capital Tripoli.

    Religious bigotry is normative Islam based on the doctrine of the submission of kafirs who are ‘spiritually unclean’ and only suitable to be enslaved by Muslims.

      Hello Gillory,

      I know , I know it is a shameful practice….everything is Islam’s fault according to Robert Spencer. He is SOoooo pissed off about not being able to go to London …and yet Muslim scholars are allowed….that is what this is all about.

      He has taken it upon himself to do anything and everything at any location to discredit us. Keep up the good work in exposing him. …ofcourse there are no pictures, names or addresses of the dead christians….and there ain’t many if any Egptian christians in Libya ….I agree it’s all fake.

      More Later…..

      Rezali
