“Make ready for them all that you can of force and of warhorses, so that by them you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy…” (Qur’an 8:60)
“Three Christian men hospitalised after stabbing,” CSW, November 8, 2024:
Three Christian men were hospitalised after suffering multiple stab wounds in an attack on 5 November.
The attack took place in Ashruba village in Bani Mazar, Minya province in Upper Egypt, the region where most sectarian attacks occur.
CSW’s sources report that four Muslim men attacked the three Christians with knives and machetes inside a local pharmacy. The three men were taken to the University Hospital in Minya, while some of the attackers were arrested by the police.
Christians in Ashruba village report living in a constant state of fear as sectarian tension is high and incidents of intimidation are now a regular occurrence following similar attacks on people and properties in the last year.
Following such incidents of sectarian violence, members of the Christian community are generally obliged to accept the ad-hoc outcomes of ‘customary reconciliation sessions’, which tend to deprive victims of justice, preventing them from seeking effective redress via legal means, and thereby contributing to a culture of impunity. According to the news outlet Copts United, local Christians have demanded long term solutions to this violence through implementation of the law and holding perpetrators accountable, rather than through such sessions.
In other news, CSW has learned that Julia Atef, a 21-year-old Christian girl, disappeared on 26 October while on her way to attend a church function at St Mark’s Church in Shubra Al-Khayma. Ms Atef’s family reported her disappearance to the police, who are currently investigating the incident….

The government is made up of the same *cloth* as those who are carrying out the attacks. “Some” of the attackers were arrested. What about the others kept them from being arrested?
And it’s been more than two weeks since the young woman disappeared. It’s likely she was kidnapped by some mozlum who refused to accept being turned down. If she had an accident on her way to church, she would most likely have been found by now.

Christian lives matter!

If only the whole world agreed.
Walter Sieruk says
There are many Muslims who strongly dislike Christians. Some Muslims even hate Christians so much that they even become violence against them, as in Egypt. One reason for this is that in the mosques and madrasas the Muslim clerics, as the imams who speak many awful and unproven terrible things against Christians and Christian doctrine. So much so the many Muslims get all worked up against Christians and Christian teachings and some those Muslims commit violent actions against Christians. Such false religious teachers, as those Muslim clerics, who speak to people unfounded and invalid evil things about Christians and Christian doctrines have been described in the Bible. For the Bible informs the reader in Second Peter 2:12. “They speak evil of things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption.” [N.K.J.V.]
It also should be make clear that in this specific above Bible verse, as well as in John 3:16. The word “Perish” does not mean loss of being but loss of well-being. As in going to ruin by ending up in languishing in torment in a terrible place of suffering that the Bible calls hell. Luke 16:19-31.

“Egypt: Four Muslims attack three Christians with knives and machetes inside a pharmacy
The four Muslims asked the three Coptic (Christians of Egypt) to convert to Islam the devilish religion.
When the three Coptic refused, they attack them by knives to murder them according to the Koran and the sharia law who are the second amendment in the Egyptian constitution.
In Egypt the Islamic government insist to have your religion in your ID and the official documents to train any Coptic (Christian of Egypt) as a second-class citizen.
In Egypt the Islamic government hiring and promoting the highest position according to your religion not according to your experience and your CD.
Christianity in Egypt was founded by Mark the Gospel 2024 years ago.
Islam was founded by Omar Ibn EL AS from El Gazira El Arabia (Saudi Arabia now) on the 7 centuries, by invade Egypt with his troops, who murders, kidnapping, rapping, stealing, burning the Christians.
By making a choice to keep your Christian faith you have to pay more GYZYA (highest tax)
If you cannot pay the GYZYA (highest tax), you have to convert to Islam or killed.
In Egypt they still add your religion in your ID to deal with the Christians as a second-class citizen with no right.
Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims.
