Coptic Christians continue to suffer and to be terrorized by jihadis who are determined to destroy their lives solely as punishment for their being Christian.
Jihadists injured at least 20 people and killed 7 when they ambushed Christians who were on a return trip from a monastery on the outskirts of Cairo. In the words of the attackers:
We will kill the men and children and leave you to live the rest of your lives in misery.
These words are not out of the ordinary. They are a manifestation of the jihadis’ hatred of infidels and rejection of their humanity. They were an attempt by the jihadis to obey the Qur’anic command to cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve (Quran 8:60).
“‘We will kill the men and children and leave you to live the rest of your lives in misery,’” by Nourhan Mostafa, Madamasr, November 6, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Safwat Shehata, a man in his 40s from Upper Egypt’s Minya Governorate, stands outside the entrance of the emergency room at the Sheikh Zayed Hospital on the outskirts of Cairo. Inside, four of his relatives are receiving treatment for injuries sustained in Friday’s militant attack, in which gunmen ambushed Coptic Christians returning from a trip to the St. Samuel Monastery in Minya.
The assailants injured at least 20 people in the attack and killed seven more. Six of those killed were Shehata’s relatives, ranging in age from 12 to 55 years old.
At first, Safwat was unaware that his relatives were killed and injured in the attack — he did not even know they were visiting the monastery that day. “I saw news of the attack on the internet and I scrolled through the pictures on social media. I thought that the casualties were from [the governorate of] Sohag. I didn’t know that my cousins and their families were going on that day,” he says.
Seeing images of bodies covered in blood, Safwat asked God to have mercy on their souls. He kept monitoring news of the attack on Facebook until he received a call from a relative informing him that his cousin-in-law, Youssef Shehata, and five members of his family were dead.
“You must go and save the wounded in Cairo,” the relative told Safwat between cries. “The bodies are being buried here.”
Safwat was unable to attend his relatives’ burial because he had to go and support those who had been injured. “Three men and their children were killed. Only my female cousins and two children survived. Four families have been completely destroyed. Snatched away by death.”
On Friday morning, Youssef Shehata and nine of his relatives prepared to visit to the St. Samuel Monastery, also known as the Monastery of the Virgin Mary at Qalamoun.
As they were returning from the monastery, masked assailants intercepted the microbus. According to Shehata, they aimed their guns at the passengers and said they had a message for the women on board. “My cousins said that the attackers told them, ‘We will kill the men and children and leave you to live the rest of your lives in misery.’”…

Islam is a genocidal ideology whose modus operandi is sadistic terrorism.
In the Koran, ALLAH asks Muslims to Commit Torture and Genocide
Koran 17:16-17
When we decide to DESTROY A POPULATION, we send a definite order to them who have the good things in life and yet transgress; so that Allah’s word is proved true against them: then we destroy them utterly. How many generations have we destroyed after Noah? And enough is thy Lord to note and see the Sins of his servants
Koran 8:37
In order that Allah may separate the IMPURE from the pure, Put All the impure ones (Non-Muslim), one on top of the another in a Heap and cast them into Hell. They will be the ones to have lost
Koran 21:11
How many were the POPULATIONS we utterly destroyed because of their iniquities, setting up in their place OTHER PEOPLES?
Koran 2:8-10
In their (Non-Muslims) hearts is a DISEASE; and Allah has increased their disease and GRIEVOUS is the penalty they will incur, because they are false.
Koran 58:5
Those who resist Allah and His Messenger will be CRUMBLED to dust, as were those before them: for we have already sent down Clear Signs and the Unbelievers will have a HUMILIATING Penalty. (hmmm… that sounds like 9-11, lebel)
Koran 21:11
How many were the POPULATIONS we utterly DESTROYED because of their iniquities, setting up in their place OTHER PEOPLES?
Koran 2:89-90
The Curse of Allah is on those without faith (in Islam) Thus have they drawn wrath upon wrath on themselves and humiliating is the punishment of those who REJECT FAITH (Islam)
Koran 5:33
The Punishment for those who oppose Allah and his messenger is: Execution or Crucifixion or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides or EXILE from the land.
Islam teaches genocide, extermination and ethnic cleansing.

Thank you,Mortimer for making us aware about these SATANIC VERSES from the Quran which displays the mind and thinking of its author- Mohammad.The war of Muhammadans against the Jews and Christians will continue until all the Christians join hands and destroy these DEMONIC people from the face of the earth.Mohammad was the one who sowed the bad seed in the dark as according to the parable.How long do the Christians have to keep suffering at the hands of these WOLVES OF ALLAH?

As usual, the authorities will either do nothing at all, or will make a few arrests, but ultimately, no one will be held accountable for this.
Business as usual in Egypt. Egypt will prove to be a fickle ally of the US, and is no friend of Israel, despite any treaties to the contrary. The ruling despots figured that they can get richer by acting friendly than by acting overtly like enemies. When the financial incentives stop flowing, so will any attempts at good will.

And, as usual, not a word of condemnation from His Horror the Pope, or from the western church or politicos! Shame on them all!!

El-Sisi of Egypt is Muslim. This statement by itself should be enough to know the intentions of Egypt towards the Christians (Copts). He is not much better than all the previous Muslim leaders. The difference is, he is playing the role of ‘politically correct’ sneakingly good. This way he lures the naive Copts to his side by accepting the genocide without complaining.
I believe that pres. Trump knows that very well. He should stop ALL the financial help to Egypt and ALL Muslim countries.
