Egypt, Jordan, Syria and the Palestinian territories are amongst the most dangerous places on earth for Christians, according to a new report. Another report by the European-based Catholic Charity Aid to the Church in Need reported before Christmas that Christians are the most persecuted religious group in the world, and that Christianity could be wiped out […]
Egypt: Muslim gunmen shoot and kill Christian in Sinai
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 […]
New report says Christians in Egypt face unprecedented persecution from Muslims
It may be that al-Sisi is practicing steam control, as did Nasser, Sadat and Mubarak before him. Despite his affirmations of support for the Christian community, he may be allowing this escalating Muslim persecution as a way to placate the pro-Muslim Brotherhood elements within Egypt, and keep them from turning against his regime. Meanwhile, Christian […]
Ancient Egyptian monastery closed and Christmas canceled
Local authorities decided to close down the Saint Catherine Monastery in the Sinai Peninsula, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on January 5 and January 6, when Christmas church services are held according to the Coptic Orthodox calendar.

Egypt: Muslim murders two Christians in New Year attack on liquor store
The Muslim persecution of the Christians in Egypt is ongoing, but has aroused little interest in the international media and even less in the “human rights community.” The victims are of the wrong creed. “Two Christians killed in New Year attack on Egypt liquor store,” Coptic World, January 1, 2018: A gunman killed two Copts […]
Islamic State threatens Egyptian Christians with “a river of blood”
The Islamic State “has warned Christians living in Egypt that they will pay for their faith with ‘a river of blood.’” It is appalling that while Christians continue to be persecuted by jihadists, far too many Westerners are concerned instead about the victimization of Muslims in the West, which is bogus. “God gave orders to […]
Egypt: Security forces arrest 14 Muslims and three Christians over jihad attack on church
“The incident itself was sparked by the circulation of a rumor within the village’s Muslim population that church officials were installing a bell. This led to villagers with extremist views to incite the village’s Muslims to attack the church.” That’s not “extremist views,” that’s mainstream Islam. Islamic law forbids the subjugated People of the Book […]
Egypt: Hundreds of Muslims storm church, destroy its contents, assault Christians inside it
Islamic law forbids Christians to build new churches or repair old ones. The international establishment media will take little notice of this. But imagine the international outcry if non-Muslims anywhere stormed a mosque. From the ubiquitous “Islamophobia” propaganda, one might get the impression that such things happen all the time. In reality, they never do. […]
Egypt: Muslim who hacked priest to death had been looking for “any priest” to kill
“Another day in Egypt with another Coptic Christian murdered. Why should a priest not be able to walk safely down a street?” Because to do so is “Islamophobic.” Behold the future of the U.S. and Western Europe: “Priest ‘hacked to death’ in Egypt ambush – ‘Can we not walk down a street anymore?,’” by Joey […]
Egypt: Muslim TV host says jihad massacres of Christians “okay,” but not jihad massacre in mosque
“We saw attacks by terrorists on the police and army, and we said this is mutual violence. These extremist groups have attacked churches and we said that they think it is a [different] religion, not Islam, and it is hostile to them, and then we said it is okay, but how [can these groups attack] […]
