A familiar scene recently took place in Egypt: yet another Coptic Christian soldier was killed in his (Muslim majority) unit.
Bishoy Nata‘i Bushri Kamal, 21, was found dead in his military unit in Cairo under “mysterious circumstances.” The military told the family that he was found hanging, and thus committed suicide. However, Sami Bushri, the young Copt’s uncle and family spokesman, said: “We completely reject this [assertion that he had committed suicide].” Such an act, said the uncle, contradicts the disposition of the slain youth, who was often cheerful and content.
Moreover, Bishoy had recently gotten into a quarrel with a certain “Mustafa,” a fellow soldier, said the uncle. And although there are injuries to his neck, indicative of hanging, injuries were also found on his back and abdomen, as well as facial scars—all of which indicate that he was tortured and murdered, claims the family, which is pursuing the matter with a lawyer.
Perhaps most indicative that the young Christian was murdered is that every aspect of this episode has taken place over and over in Egypt.
Read here for five more examples of Christian soldiers being found dead, followed by military claims of suicide or some other “accident,” followed by the slain’s families rejecting these excuses and pointing to conflicts with Muslim soldiers in the unit (including attempts to force the Christians to convert to Islam) followed by forensic evidence of murder — as what might be termed a “military jihad on Christians” quietly transpires in Egypt.

Sorry that this has to happen. Bigoted Egyptian army. They were a useless lot when Israel cleaned up the Sinai back in 67. They still are useless cowards.

Just goes to show, you can’t trust Muslims if they really follow the Koran.

Under Sharia law, there’s no contest between a Christian and a Muslim. The Christian is automatically wrong.
Leftarded cultural Marxists want believe they will not be persecuted, however that is not true. A number of atheists have recently been slained or arrested in Muslim countries.
Marxists should pay attention. Muslims do not want Marxism. They want Islam…that’s spelled I-S-L-A-M.

I lived in Egypt during the Mubarak period. While the chief Maintained the peace with Israel he knew the danger of Islamic brotherhoods. I loved Egypt because I was an artist, but most talks on Islam had to be kept under control and brief. The majority are fanatical, uneducated peasants still under the sway of unscrupulous priests. The President, to be successful in improving the country must go up against the state religion which is fundamentalist Islam. It is a tall order for one man. Fundamentalists is every religion are very, very powerful and very,very dangerous.
