That the Coptic Christian Church continues to voice its support for President Sisi should not be interpreted to mean that the situation of Egypt’s Christian minority has improved. One need only look to the substratum of news for confirmation. The current month of January alone has already witnessed three separate instances over the course of 10 days where four Copts were slaughtered in Egypt.
On January 3, a Muslim man of the Salafi variety crept up behind a Copt, 45, and slit his throat, killing him in Alexandria. The murderer’s reasoning was that the Christian man owned a shop that sold alcohol, which the Salafi deemed “contrary to the shar‘ia [Islamic law] and the religion [Islam].”
A couple of days later, as reported in a January 6 report, a Coptic man, 62, and his wife, 55, were found slaughtered in their home in Monufia, north Egypt. The Christian couple’s throats were slit and their bodies had multiple stab wounds. Nothing was stolen from their apartments; it was a hate crime.
Then, on Friday, January 13, another Christian man, a young surgeon, was found slaughtered in his apartment in Asyut, southern Egypt. He too had stab wounds to his neck, chest, and back. Colleagues of the doctor say he was well mannered and seemed to get along with everyone.
Such is the ongoing hemorrhaging of the Coptic Christian minority that rarely comes to light because such “commonplace” murders are not as spectacular as, say, the bombing of Coptic churches—for instance, last December’s bombing of St. Peter’s in Cairo—which leave many dozens dead.

All these minority Christians from all over the world should be gathered together and given safe haven to a christian country. When are the world leaders do something about it.
Tommy says
The Pope loves these Muslims!
Alexius Comnenus says
I am glad you see what this pope is doing inside the church walls. He is not a friend of the Christians from the east. He is a friend and a patron of the muslims. Check to see what Our Lady of LaSalette said in 1846 to the two children about Rome. It is happening.
Pope sponsored muslims from Greece, refuse to bring that Christian couple, washed the feet of the muslims and I stop there….
A Harris USA says
Alexius, you are so right!!! This is unthinkable ! This so called Pope is a fraud.. The thousands of Christians who have been murdered by the Islamic pig savages is growing. The only way to protect Christians, anywhere, is the same solution that came about hundreds of years ago………..A CRUSADE AGAINST THESE PIGS!!!
Hope this fraud of a pope is tossed out before to long……….Or the Roman Church is DOOMED!!!
Angemon says
Would, for example, the Copts in Egypt as a whole be willing to leave their ancestral homeland?
Ann says
We should give them the option to find safety in the West. I’m pretty sure that most would be glad to leave Egypt, Syria, Iraq, etc., under the circumstances. They should receive priority as the refugees in greatest danger.

US and Nato armed and trained islamic jihadists and actually fought for them In Libya, in Kosovo, in Bosnia and in Syria. Why not arm and train Egyptian Christians who are ten million strong and help them create their own state within Egypt where they can defend and be safe?
US especially refuses to arm Iraqi Assyrian Christian militia who are ready and willing to defend their ancient Christian villages in Iraq.

Ann, in June last year alone, U.S. accepted more than 2,300 Syrian refugees and only eight of them were Christians!!! US and Western nations highly prioritize resettling muslim refugee over Christians. Even the Pope took in only muslims when he visited a refugee camp in Greece but ignored Christians. US and the West are NO friends of persecuted Christians in the ME. They love and support and respect islam and muslims, including islamic jihadists. Read more on the link below:

Alexius Comnenus says
They should be accepted immediately.
Christianblood says
The 10 million or so Copts in Egypt should not leave their homeland, they should arm themselves, create their own homeland or region within Egypt and fight for it.

Christians in Egypt are an oppressed minority–they will not be able to protect themselves–they will just all be wiped out. I would love to see them granted asylum in the civilized world.
A Harris USA says
Christian blood, Glad that Jan 20th is tomorrow. Of course, Obama the Muslim soon to be OUT thank God, and Trump has a different idea about arming Christians!! Obama would never lift a finger to help the Christians suffering under the Muslim hordes!! He is a half baked Muslim!!! Trump is NOT!! Thinks will change, and the Muslims know it!! Step one, so glad Jan 20th finally is near!!

Angemon, hundreds of thousands of Copts have already fled since the “Arab Spring” began about six years ago..

True! But who orchestrated, encouraged and supported the so-called
“Arab spring”? Go to the roots, Graven. Don’t be superficial!

First, the many apologists for Islam claim to Americans and other Westerners that Islam teaches Muslims to have respect for Christians and Christianity . The harsh reality is ,as this above article, reveals that this claim made by the propagandists for Islam is a blatant lie and total falsehood.
Second, there are many Muslims who strongly dislike Christians. Some Muslims even hate Christians so much that they even become violence against them and burn their Bibles. One reason for this is that in the mosques and madrasas the Muslim clerics, as the imams who speak many awful and unproven terrible things against Christians and Christian doctrine. So much so the many Muslims get all worked up against Christians and Christian teachings and some those Muslims commit violent actions against Christians. Such false religious teachers, as those Muslim clerics, who speak to people unfounded and invalid evil things about Christians and Christian doctrines have been described in the Bible. For the Bible informs the reader in Second Peter 2:12. “They speak evil of things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption.” [N.K.J.V.]
It also should be make clear that in this specific above Bible verse, as well as in John 3:16. The word “Perish” does not mean loss of being but loss of well-being. As in going to ruin by ending up in languishing in torment in a terrible place of suffering that the Bible calls hell. Luke 16:19-31.

Egypt: Four Christians slaughtered over the course of 10 days
…………………
These poor people. More proof that al-Sisi’s Egypt is no haven–it is just marginally less genocidal than if the Muslim Brotherhood were in power.
TH says
Obama favoured the Muslim Brotherhood. There is no doubt that Al-Sisi is well meaning and we can now hope with Trump’s inauguration that the U.S.willsupport him.
Alexius Comnenus says
Musobama was a friend of the muslim brotherhood being closed to give them 12 F-15. When they were suppressed he stopped delivery.

Singh the Sikh says
The way the shopkeeper was killed was truly horrific but even thesis becoming normalised. The Christian was caught totally unawares, in the supposed sanctity and safety of his property, while taking a moment to relax after probably what was a busy day.
The Moslem creeps up from behind and slices his neck. Very purposeful and sure of himself. No hesitation whatsoever. The poor Christian never saw it coming. One minute he is sitting there. The next minute his neck’s missing from shoulders. One moment he is alive, the next he’s dead. Just like that. This is the stuff Muslims are made of. This is what turns them on. No humanity whatsoever. They find killing gratifying. Especially from behind. The greater the shock of the victim, the greater the pleasure for the killer. When will the world say ‘enough is enough?’
Alexius Comnenus says
They are martyrs of the Christian Orthodox Faith, the true faith as the Catholic. They are in Heaven!
Alexius Comnenus says
Those who committed this crime will go straight to Hell.
A Harris USA says
Singh, the graphic facts are all to real. Sad, and sick!! Seems to me the Christians and Hindus, and Jews as well as Sikhs are all victims of the savages!! Time for all to band together and wash the Muslim hordes away, once and for all. If we do not stand together we will fall on our own!!
