A Christian man was abducted and tortured for refusing to convert to Islam last week in Egypt.
Fayiz Fouad, a Coptic Christian, was kidnapped as he was returning from a visit to the St. George Coptic Orthodox Monastery in Qena.
His vehicle was forcefully stopped in a Nag Hammadi village that he had to cross through, and he was taken hostage for three days.
During that time, Fouad was tortured in an “ugly manner,” according to rights activist Safwat Sim‘an: “The story isn’t merely about kidnapping; it has an ISIS component to it.”
The Christian was tortured for refusing to say the Islamic shahada—that “There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger”—and thus becoming Muslim.
His family could not reach the Copt except by way of an influential village elder and the subsequent payment of 50,000 Egyptian pounds, or $6,225 USD.
According to Sim‘an, “The issue of kidnapped Copts continues in Nag Hammadi, despite the fact that Egyptian Security knows where these kidnappers are situated and their identities, and yet remains silent about their crimes.”

Cameron says
If the kidnapee was some sort of pagan or was non-religious then he/she would have been simply killed outright (possibly as a spectacle to inspire fear in other subjugated peoples who see it) under Islamic custom. This is what Christian priveleges (peoples of the book) look like in the Islamic context.

“For Christians, she says, Iraq is gone.”
And we saw it with our own eyes.

This sort of abuse has happened for a thousand years in muslim majority countries with a minority Christian population. They are regarded as cash cows, to be forever milked. Not surprising the Police won’t get involved, they probably would be surprised that anyone would object.

“Security knows where these kidnappers are situated and their identities, and yet remains silent about their crimes.”
But there in lies the crux of the matter. These Muslims are not committing any crime. They are GOOD MUSLIMS practicing their religion as preached in the Koran.
Muslims arresting other Muslims for practicing Islam???? You would have to be a denizen of La La Land to expect that to happen

quran, 5:51:
O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for friends. They are friends one to another. He among you who taketh them for friends is (one) of them.
Or maybe a run-of-the-mill case of corrupt police.

ok but that is the worse Allah I’ve ever seen written. Maybe kids did it.
mortimer says
Fayiz Fouad is very brave.
His country Egypt makes a pretence of human rights, when there are NO HUMAN RIGHTS In Egypt to speak of.
Vigilantes of the 7th Century Bronze Age Death Cult are still running rampant and unchecked by the law enforcement who are also cult members.

Perhaps it was those recently documented ‘British Values’ that made them do it!

Sorry, off topic, but as a supporter, I would like to give a helpful comment: The ads above the Recent Comments section contain absolutely sickening and disgusting images of failed cosmetic surgery and others of gross obesity etc. Please review your ads providers (these are the boxes where outside ad providers change the content frequently). I and probably many others would actually be afraid to open the website (as I do most days) in fear of being confronted by these horrible images – please review urgently!! From a supporter.

also O.T., but use a whitelister plugin/program (depending on what browser U are using). i use firefox with noscript (noscript.net), which only allows through the sites i have OKed. after a while, U recognize ad domains and leave them blocked. i don’t mind ads, but yes, those are gross. BTW, jihadwatch probabl sells access to ad aggregators, and thus have absolutely no idea what ads will show up.

I would propose a population exchange; the west exchange the Muslim population for all of the non-Muslim minorities in Muslim lands. Christians, Yazidi, Buddhist, animists etc
