The corrupt American media was all over the so-called Arab Spring and
tied it the influence of President Obama.
But, since Egypt has fallen under the control of the Muslim Brotherhood,
a group dedicated to the destruction of Israel, the press has run away. Meanwhile the 10 million Christian minority
living in that country are suffering unspeakable persecution and now this:
A group of
Christian priests from a local Coptic church in Egypt were told to convert to
Islam or face death, according to an Arabic news site.
The
incident, which comes in the midst of continued persecution and pressure on
Egypt’s Christian community, took place this week in the town of Safaga, near
the Red Sea, the El Balad site reported.
According to
El Balad, the threats are from a new group in Egypt, Jihad al-Kufr, whose
name translates to Jihad against non-believers or non-Muslims. The group
targets non-Muslims, and reportedly pressures them to convert to Islam.
“It’s not
the first time. This is happening every day,” said Adel Guindy, president of
Coptic Solidarity and a member of Egypt’s Coptic community who travels between
Paris and Cairo. “This one incident caught the attention of the news agencies,
but there are worse things happening to the Christians every day in Egypt,” he
said.
Christians
have felt increasingly at risk since the fall of former President Hosni Mubarak
in 2011, which resulted in the rise of President Mohammed Morsi and the Muslim
Brotherhood movement.
