It’s open season on Coptic Christians in Libya.
A few days after seven Copts were identified as Christians, pulled out of their homes by “unknown gunmen” and taken out and executed in Jarutha, some 20 miles west of Benghazi (see here for graphic pictures), Egyptian Copts are still being singled out and killed.
This comes after the Islamic jihadi group, Ansar al-Sharia—which appears connected to Egypt’s now ousted Muslim Brotherhood—offered a reward to any Benghazi resident who helps them round up and execute the nation’s few Christians, according to Egyptian human rights groups.
Yesterday another body was found, believed to be that of a Copt—due to the small cross tattooed on his wrist traditionally worn by Copts, not least to identify themselves.
And the day before that, another Coptic Christian, Salama Fawzi, 24, was shot at, including in the head, while he was unloading food in front of his grocery stand in Benghazi by several “unknown gunmen”; he is currently in critical condition.
Under Col. Gaddafi, many Copts migrated to Libya looking for work opportunities. However, since the dictator was ousted—and sodomized and murdered, to gleeful laughter by Hillary Clinton—Christians have been under attack there, from the arrest, torture, and killing of Christians accused of “proselytizing,” to the bombing and burning of churches in the north African nation, evincing the true nature of the U.S-supported “Arab Spring” takeover of Libya.

Now allah is satisfied from the jihadist who kill these innocent people, but Allah is upset if the woman didn’t t put the nikab or hijab
Is Allah weak needs help? To make crime by his name.

I feel terribly sad for the Coptic Christians. Nobody can tell me these are not the Jews of today with the constant pogroms, murders and child kidnappings they are forced to endure. It would be a great benefit to Copts to establish a state of their own, if only such a thing were possible.

“Ansar al-Sharia” translates to “those who help impose Shari’ah”, and they want to render their stretch of Dar-al-Islam “Christian-free” through genocide.
This rather gives the lie to the idea—as if any more were needed—that Christians can live safely and happily under the oppression of Islamic law.
Europe should be throwing open their gates to take in the threatened Copts—instead, it is violent Muslims who are overwhelming the island of Lampedusa with their unending numbers.
