“Her kidnapping was part of a series of disappearances in which Coptic girls were targeted by Islamist networks, who kidnap and force them to convert to Islam and then either marry them off or sell them for large amounts of money.”
Will the Islamophobia never end?
“Coptic girl, 16, rescued 92 days after Islamists kidnapped her,” World Watch Monitor, October 5, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A 16-year-old Coptic Christian girl kidnapped on 28 June to be “converted to Islam, then married off or sold”, was released and returned to her family on 30 September after police found her and arrested her kidnappers in a city just outside Cairo.
Marilyn was recovered from a city named 10th of Ramadan, but she is from a village several hundred kilometres south, in the governorate of Minya.
Her village priest, Father Boutros Khalaf, told World Watch Monitor: “Recently we found out that Marilyn was held in a place in 10th of Ramadan city…. We went to the local police station and they really did their best to reach her and managed to arrest her kidnapper, Taha, and his brother, Gaber, and release Marilyn. She returned back to her family on Saturday, 30 September, after 92 days”.
Fr. Khalaf said she had “not been treated well” by Taha and his friends, but she is just “very happy to be back with her family”.
“We thank God for answering our prayers and the prayers of many other people,” he added. “And we thank all the policemen in the police station that helped us so much in releasing our daughter, Marilyn. We appreciate their great efforts.”
One of manyHer kidnapping was part of a series of disappearances in which Coptic girls were targeted by Islamist networks, who kidnap and force them to convert to Islam and then either marry them off or sell them for large amounts of money, as World Watch Monitor reported last month.
According to ‘G’, a former kidnapper who said he actively targeted Coptic girls before he left Islam, the group he was part of “rented apartments in different areas of Egypt to hide kidnapped Coptic girls. There, they put them under pressure and threaten them to convert to Islam. And once they reach the legal age, a specially arranged Islamic representative comes in to make the conversion official, issue a certificate and accordingly they change their ID”.
‘G’ said one of the strategies they used to gain the girls’ trust was for the kidnapper, a Muslim man, to tell the Christian girl he loved her and wanted to convert to Christianity for her.
“They start a romantic relationship until, one day, they decide to ‘escape’ together,” ‘G’ explained. “What the girls don’t know is that they are actually being kidnapped. Most of the time they will not marry their kidnapper, but someone else.”
Marilyn was kidnapped in this way as well. And although the name of her ‘boyfriend’ at the time was known, a young man named Taha, no arrests were made. Meanwhile, videos of Marilyn, in which she said she had converted to Islam, appeared online. In one, she held a Quran; in the other, veiled, she seemingly repeated what was dictated to her through an earpiece….

Ha, ha,.. this is done by so the called peaceful Muslims following a religion of peace that the West and the liberals so fondly dream about who are doing kidnapping of young Christian and Hindu girls in Pakistan, and Christian girls and Egypt. Will yhese WEstern leaders, liberals, academia and fake experts evr learn anything from the current and past Muslim history?? Nah , they have their heads buried in the Islamic sand!
There are no peaceful Muslims and Islam is religion of terror, kidnapping, invading, looting, stealing thievery, raping, etc, etc,..

Yes–this would not have happened under the Muslim Brotherhood.
Still unclear whether they will protect this girl and her family from reprisals, though.

Egypt: 16-year-old Christian girl kidnapped to be converted to Islam is freed
……………………
I’m glad this girl has been freed.
But this does not necessarily mean that her ordeal is over. Muslims have claimed that such girls have converted to Islam, and that her family, village, or community is not allowing her to stay with her Muslim kidnapped (never mind how ridiculous this is).
In the past, the victim, her community, and church have been violently targeted. I hope this does not happen here–but fear it might.

Islam is Cancer. We apparently have no cure. Keep yourselves and you families protected, as best you can where you’re at, and stay alert on watch for the time may unexpectantly come upon you, as is the nature of Islam’s Terrorism. These Dogs of Jihad will eventually be eradicated from the face of Our God-Fearing Heavenly Created Earth, but please Realize the Truth, and learn how to Discern these evil demonic souls from all others that choose to live in True peace, and freedom. And I don’t care what faith or religion or humanism etc. You believe in. Believe in safe and sound Humanity, here on Earth.
A persecuted Christian says
The Christian Egyptians ( the Copts) have suffered a lot under Islam since the arabs invaded Egypt. They are persecuted, harrassed, and discriminated against on a daily basis
John Forbes says

The WESTERN LEADERS are also virtually SILENT !!!

Bob says

I am amazed the Islamic captors did not rape the poor girl while she was in captivity. That is one
sure way to break the willpower of the victim. Sometimes all male family members
participate in the act. Such rape is legal under Islam and is referred to as “the Right Hand Rule”.
Somewhere in the Koran Muhammad (aka Allah) says if a captured female is in your right hand
you can “lawfully” use her for sexual gratification.
