Hundreds Of Egyptians Ransacked A Church South Of Cairo. by Olabenjamen22(m): 5:08pm On Dec 23, 2017
Hundreds of Egyptians ransacked a church south of Cairo and called for it to be demolished, the region’s diocese said.
The attack on the church in Atfeh, 100 kilometres (60 miles) from the capital, took place on Friday after weekly Muslim prayers, the diocese said on its Facebook page.
Several churches, especially ones that have yet to be licenced by the government, have come under attack by local Muslims in the conservative south of the country.
The diocese said the Prince Tawadros church had been used for almost 15 years and had applied for a licence under a law passed last year meant to ease permits for new churches.
Hundreds of people massed in front of the building, chanting “hostile” slogans and calling for the church to be demolished, it said.
“They stormed the place and destroyed what was inside it, after assaulting the Christians there,” the diocese said.
Egypt’s Coptic Christians comprise up to 10 percent of the country’s 93 million people and are the Middle East’s largest religious minority.
They have come under sectarian attacks and been targeted by jihadists who have killed more than 100 people in church bombings and shootings since last December.

There hatred for anything Christianity is un-discribeable.

Well Jesus Christ have prophecy all of this thing that's happening now
John 16:1-4 King James Version (KJV)
16 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
4 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.

Brother, the way you are thinking will only make things worst instead of finding solution,

what make you think they(Muslim) won't embark on other Christian after they are done with the coptic Christian?

And about the Israel issue, if you know the kind of oppression churches in Islamic countrie are facing you won't be talking like this. They are been Monitor day and night by the government, they are not free to preach anyhow, they are not free to do evangelism and so on.


Well may God help us sha.
