Egypt: Muslim berates, slaps Christian woman for not wearing hijab
Christians are expected to be subservient and submissive. This is an assumption Ali Abu-Souad derived from Islam, which teaches that non-Muslims in the Islamic state must “pay the jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued” (Qur’an 9:29), and that they are the “most vile of created beings” (Qur’an 98:6) while Muslims are “the best […]

Egypt: Teachers and students beat up Coptic Christian children for wearing crosses
The question does not get asked often enough: why is it that certain barbaric behaviors are accepted when they come from one group, but not from others?
