“Egyptian state-run media has warned society not to conclude that this incident is because of Maryam’s Coptic Christian identity, and that it was a robbery attempt which escalated into murder. However, the Egyptian authorities have an established record of silencing Christians and forcing them to not speak about the religious freedom components of their experiences.”
And that’s just fine with the establishment media in the West, which does the same thing.
“Coptic Christian Woman and 6-Year-Old Son Murdered,” International Christian Concern, April 9, 2021:
04/09/2021 Washington D.C. (International Christian Concern) – International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that on April 03, 2021, a Coptic Christian woman and her 6-year-old son were murdered by a tok-tok driver. The victim, Maryam Sa’ad, also had a 4-year-old daughter who escaped. The crime occurred in Minya Governorate and the name of the murderer is Abu Muhammad al-Harami.
Egyptian state-run media has warned society not to conclude that this incident is because of Maryam’s Coptic Christian identity, and that it was a robbery attempt which escalated into murder. However, the Egyptian authorities have an established record of silencing Christians and forcing them to not speak about the religious freedom components of their experiences.
It is worth noting that this incident occurred nearly a month after another Christian was murdered in the streets. In that incident, a Minya policeman stabbed and murdered Adel Lofti, who visited him to collect money loaned to him through Lofti’s organization.
Regarding these two crimes, a Christian human rights activist shared, “The real motive in the two crimes is the vulnerability of the victim, and the reassurance of not being punished, or at the most an understatement. Vulnerability may be the result of a difference in religion, the fact that the victim is a woman, poverty, or a combination of them. In this type of crime, religious discourse on the rights of Copts and women or courtesy meetings and denial of the reality alone cannot be the solution.”
In both cases, the motive of the perpetrator is unclear and will likely remain clouded. Independent investigations are not possible in the context of Egypt, whose constitution enshrines Islam as the basis for its legal system. However, the shared vulnerability of the victims is a clear indicator that something serious is amiss within Egypt.
Christian women and children in Egypt are particularly vulnerable. Media regularly stigmatizes women who do not wear a veil, making inflammatory comments such as “(a woman is) better than the one who is not veiled 100 thousand times” and that there is a “devil” in unveiled women. Since Christian women dress differently, they are easily identifiable in society.
As one Christian journalist woman published, “To be a woman in a country where most of her people see women as a disgrace, and at best look at her from a sexual point of view, it is a heavy burden, but even worse when you are a Christian woman. It is hell! To be a Coptic woman, you are under many grievances by society and church alike. Coptic women in Egypt face two dilemmas: gender as a female and religion as Christians.”…

It isn’t misogyny WHEN MUSLIMS do it!
If this happened to a Muslim woman in a Western country, the Leftard press would make it the end of the earth. Leftarded. globalist Western journalists are hostile towards Christianity, but friendly towards Islam which is hostile to all non-Muslims and exceptionally hostile towards women.

That scum criminal’s name is al harami and “ harami “ means in Egyptian , Iraqi slang and in many other Arabic slangs “ thief “ so just his name speaks volume ?

Don’t you just love the way these Satanic heathens bend over backwards to avoid insulting Muzzies?

Well Egypt can’t silence everyone and any excuse from a weak minded apologetic government who never want to do the right thing will have far reaching consequences..

As seen in this tragic example in Egypt ,those violent and vicious jihad –minded Muslims in their murderous persecution of Christians is blatantly evil .
Still they aren’t really going to get away with their killings of Christians.
As the apostle Paul had written each individual Christian is actually, in the View of God, a temple of God. For to Christians, it is written in the Bible “Don’t you know that that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? If anyone destroys God’s Temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.” First Corinthians 3:16,17. [N.I.V.] As in “A man reaps what he sows.” Galatians 6:7.

History is showing us that the whole narrative was a farce. It is becoming more and more obvious that Mecca did not exist, to the extent that is portrayed in the narrative, if it existed at all – at least until the 8th Century. More and more educated Muslims are beginning to realise this. If I am to believe Dan Gibson,, then when the KSA allowed archaeologists to dig around the alleged home of Khadija in Mecca before they knocked it down, they found the remains of a mosque underneath. How can you have the remains of a mosque under the alleged home of one of the mothers of Islam? Simply, you cannot and that is why the KSA has no problem knocking down all these alleged homes from the 6th and 7th Century.to build hotels (which look like idols to me) The KSA knows Mecca did not exist in the 7th Century but they are keeping that to themselves because the ramifications of doing otherwise are enormous. No Mecca, then no Muhammad.
This should be the angle of attack upon Islam. Show us that Mecca actually existed in History not in the narrative but in history. Point out to Islam that Caliph Marwan had a wife called Zaynab. He had another wife called Aisha. (Funny about that) He also had a mother named. Armina(h). Not forgetting he also had a son called, Muhammad, who was a general. We know Marwan and Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan both lived in history as we have them on coins. We do not have Abu Bakr, Uma , Uthman and Ali on coins so it is likely they never existed.
The holes in the narrative and the holes in the qira’at are what are causing Muslims to walk in the West. It is much more difficult in Muslim countries. Muslims are coming out and claiming the only true Quran is in the recitations. This is how they are attempting to temper the impact the 32 different Qurans and the 93,000 variants already found in them along with Dan Brubaker’s work on the manuscripts.
Keep hitting them with the factual history. , .

Nothing is new. This slaughtering of Copts in Egypt goes back over 1400 years and continues to this very day. When Muslims invaded Egypt in the 7th century hell, caucus and violence replaced the safe and tranquil Egypt enjoyed as a pious Christian country. This continues to be the norm to this day. Islam is Islam, Islam is satanic. Nothing will change to the better as long as Islam exists.
Sadly, very sadly, here in the West Islam is flourishing, instead of being considered the most dangerous enemy and treated as such. Communism, Nazism and fascisms have come and gone. Islam which is way worse than the three combined is allowed to destroy our civilization. This is very hard to swallow.

Egypt is becoming more and more dangerous for Christians as the Islamic dictatorship takes control of their country. It seems like Country after Country is falling for this Muslim migration invasion. Open borders to this invasion is a huge mistake. Islam is the enemy of freedom of religion, speech and human rights, at the expense of someones idea that we need diversity.

Al Sisi is still not as bad as the Muslim Briotherhood–damning with faint praise, of course.
Otis says
Yes Islam is evil. The same thing is happening in Ethiopia a country that experienced peace and tranquility until a Muslim by the name Abiy Ahmed came to power.There’s ethnic cleansing and persecution of orthodox christians in Ethiopia.As a Kenyan,I fear that all these mayhem may spiral into Kenya years to come
