Egypt: Muslim gunmen shoot and kill Christian in Sinai

Jan 15, 2018 6:00 am By Robert Spencer

Either al-Sisi cannot stop this ongoing Muslim persecution of Christians, or he will not. If he cannot, then he is a weak and ineffective ruler. If he will not, it may be that he is practicing steam control, as did Nasser, Sadat and Mubarak before him. That is, despite his affirmations of support for the […]

Egypt: Islamic jihadis murder at least 155 in Sufi mosque

Nov 24, 2017 10:00 am By Robert Spencer

Ramadan in Egypt: Muslims kill Christian priest with hail of bullets outside church

Jun 30, 2016 8:22 pm By Robert Spencer

Did Fr. Raphael provoke them in some way? Did he draw Muhammad? Did he opine that Islam was not a religion of peace? Or could his murder simply have been provoked by who he was, as an Infidel, a Christian priest? Why are Church leaders in the West so uniformly silent about the Muslim persecution […]
