“Egypt Churches Hit by Violent Protests,” Missions Box, May 31, 2024:
EGYPT — Last month during Holy week in Egypt local Christians in two villages came under attack during violent protests by Islamist extremists to prevent the construction of a church building.
In response a team from the Christian ministry Help The Persecuted went to provide much-needed support for these believers who were grappling with the loss of their homes and livelihoods.
A few weeks ago it was Holy Week in Egypt. This Christian holiday is often a time of tension and unease in the Middle East, resulting in violent clashes and protests from Islamist extremists who oppose the presence of Christians in the region. This came to a head in two Christian villages in Egypt, where Islamist extremists attacked local Christians and led violent protests to prevent the construction of a church building. In response, a team from the Christian ministry helped the persecuted when to provide much needed support for these believers who were grappling with the loss of their homes and livelihoods….

And egypt is one of the meddlers in the war in gaza….supposedly bringing about a “ceasefire” between their fellow molzums and the Jews in Israel. (a one-sided plan)
The destruction…and perhaps some killing to eliminate the Christians still living in egypt….is ongoing, and yet egypt is attempting to keep Israel from “eliminating” hamas from gaza. (it’s *bad, bad* genocide when Israel is engaging in self-defense, and something different when mozlums are engaging in…a real.*genocide* of Christians)
mozlums and mozlum ruined nations, all think and behave alike…steal, murder and destroy for their false god and fake prophet.

I agree with you.

Control-freak savages. You don’t see them protesting FGM, which is still quite common in Egypt. Why not…most of those Christophobic Islamists thenselves probably practice it.

There is no separation of Sharia & State;
Sharia deputizes Muslims to place upon Christians persecution.
Egyptian Government/ Police/ Muslims keep watch against Sharia.
Western Nations state not all followers of Islam attack Christians.
All followers of Sharia are obligated to obey Sharia, some with the sword the rest support those with the sword.
Followers of Islam in western nations seek the day Sharia is fully implemented.
One would think with technology, media, internet western society would understand by now.
Islam/Sharia must dominate as it spreads globally based on Islamic Law Sharia.
