Egypt: Coptic Christian tombs are being turned into “garbage dumps,” laments Christian leader

Feb 6, 2016 8:11 am By Raymond Ibrahim

Coptic tomb garbage dumps

As often happens to Christian cemeteries in Muslim nations — whether at the hands of “ISIS” or the hands of “angry youth” — “the tombs of the Copts [Egypt’s indigenous Christians] are being turned into garbage dumps.”

This was the urgent and recent message from Fr. Ayoub Yousef, who heads the Coptic Catholic church of St. George in the village of Dalga, in Minya, Upper Egypt.

According to the priest, the local Coptic cemeteries are in a “piteous state,” as all forms of sewage and waste is being dumped into them to the point of filling the tombs.

Fr. Ayoub said that he had filed numerous complaints with the prime minister and many other officials “to no avail, to the point that the situation has become unacceptable.”  He is urging for “immediate intervention.”

      and have been since the Muslims invaded THEIR land around 640 AD and changed the jewel of the Mediterranean into a backward Islamic shithole.

    Gee, it’s “almost” as if muslims regard Christians as subhuman trash…

    Don’t worry. Any day now Obama is going to give a speech at some Christian church condemning the violence against Christians in Muslim countries around the world. “An attack on any religion is an attack on all religions” he will proclaim. He will ask his Muslims friends to join him in prayer for the persecuted Christians. He will speak of the contributions of Christians to the founding of America, about how they were there from the beginning, about how Christianity is the Religion of Peace, and about how Christians fit in.

      I’m trying to imagine what the U.S. would be like today if Muslims had been the first to cross the Atlantic and to colonize North America. To start with, for the United States ever to have been established, these imaginary Muslim immigrants most likely would have been fleeing persecution for their religious beliefs … beliefs that included a desire to be able to interpret the Quran according to one’s own conscience, the freedom to be tolerant of other religions and the freedom to reject the Quran as the ultimate authority in the affairs of men. Such Muslims would have had to have been willing to ignore Muhammad’s words about making Allah’s will the supreme law of the land and instead would have been open to the establishment of a secular democratic republic which promised never to establish laws favoring Islam over any other religion. These imaginary Muslims would’ve had to have brought with them a belief that all men (no matter their religion) are created equal under Allah and these Muslims would have had to have been willing to fight a civil war in order to abolish the institution of slavery. In other words such Muslims would have had to have been willing to reject numerous parts of the Quran and a very large part of Muhammad’s teachings and exemplary conduct. They would have had to have been willing to be branded apostates by their Islamic friends and family who, in turn, would have been bound by their honor to track down these apostates and kill them.

      So, hmmmm………. Could the United States as we know it today have ever been established by a group of Muslims seeking a new way of life? Well ………. based upon Islam’s past history of conquest and in light of what is happening in the parts of Europe that are being colonized by Muslims today ……… I just can’t imagine it.

        Fortunately, we have a Constitution that protects the freedoms, both religious and civil, of our people. But wait–Obama has a phone and a pen to fix everything he doesn’t like about our Country, which is just about everything except Welfare and Islam.

        Well after raping and pillaging they would of course under islams mainstream teachins have taken them as slaves and taken them back to muslims countries as they did with black africans for centuries.

        That’s easy, the last time he thought he could con them.

      You’re right. He’s doing just the opposite! Gotta reverse Christianity and Islam in that context. I was shocked at his recent visit to a mosque in Baltimore. It’s pro-Islam propaganda.

    The muslims are always so insistent that we show more “RESPECT” for their religion. But what they fail to realize is that respect is a two way street.
    No sane person has even a tiny microgram of respect for the vile being who continue to perpetuate thes acts of savage barbarism.
    It’s similar to the 1940’s NAZI’s demanding the entire world bow down before the “Master Race”. In other words; just more muslim BULLSHIT!

      Islam in the west is like the invasion of the reticular python in Florida: It doesn’t belong here and if left unchecked it will destroy the native species…

    When the pig farm latrines in Eastern North Carolina overflow during heavy rains, there is no place to put the excess pig manure.

    Islamic cemeteries ???
    Hmmmm
    There is an idea worth exploring.

    Has Obama ever once event commented on the plight of the Coptic Christians? I don’t recall him ever saying anything positive or sympathetic about oppressed Christians- his first impulse is always to defend Islam.

    In Bible times, there was a valley known as the Valley of Hinnom and it became known as Gehenna…a place where the populace dumped their garbage…even dead bodies not considered worthy of a Resurrection.
    There was a fire burning in this valley and it burned day and night continually in order to keep the garbage dumped there from piling up and causing disease.

    Jesus said some people make themselves “liable to the fiery Gehenna”…meaning they will be everlastingly destroyed. Jesus also said that with the ‘mercy one shows to others, that mercy will be shown to that one.’
    (Matthew 5-7)
    He spoke about the treatment of His *brothers*…and to those who just basically ignore these brothers, He said they will go “off into destruction.” Just imagine what is in store for those who don’t just ignore His brothers, but mistreat, kill and subject them to the disrespect shown by these moslims in Egypt and elsewhere. (Matthew 25)

      Why not find genuine christian leaders instead?

      • Mark says

        Feb 8, 2016 at 11:52 am

        P.S., Yes I know, that is much harder to do these days.

        Did you know that the church of england website, some years ago, had a webpage thanking God for ‘other’ prophets….. the stupid list had muhampig on it.

        Thats how far gone and antichrist their leaders are even years ago.

      He’s going around kissing up to them, and NEVER criticizes the plight of Christians in the ME in connection to the teachings of islam. I don’t care for this man. He’s in Cuba kissing up to Fidel and Raul.. they are all in the same boat together…He’s a disgrace to the church ( as many others)..shame, shame…

    Those who go to Egypt as tourists support this madness and shame on you. No one should support the Egyptians when they do things like this.

    But I thought that Islam was freedom of religion, democracy, human rights, women’s rights, equality, fairness, respect, and, …. and, …. aw, skip it.
