Peace for Minorities


The Copts in Egypt Under Attack!


By: Nabil Asaad

It seems that the Copts in Egypt are still trying to fight ignorance and Islamic fanatics. but the disease is only growing, before, we had to fight individuals, now our fight is against Islamic Fanatics in uniform, those who call themselves the Egyptian police, those who are suppose to ensure the security of every low abiding Egyptian citizen, those are the ones who are terrorizing and by lack of punishment encouraging the attacks on the Copts. For three hours high school students went from church to church, from store to store, terrorizing peaceful, church goers, and store owners, while the police was no were to be found. And even when the police came 3 hours later, when those animals were done destroying Coptic businesses, no one was held responsible. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
While this was happening in Dirout, Egypt, in another place also city workers were destroying the fence and the community building owned by the church in Cairo. State officials, with the blessings of the police departments who was witnessing the destruction, they all ignored the fact that this is an approved building and pretended to be ignorant, they didn’t know how to read at this moment before destroying a perfectly legal building.
While this was taking place, also the Moslems surrounded The Monastery of Abou Fana to prevent the church from putting a fence around its property which was approved by the officials. So even when some officials do their job, the people can stand in the way of justice and there is no one to stop them. Also the burning of St Karas Church in Dirout, attacking the Christian students in Dirout schools. What message does this send to all those who want to attack Christians in Egypt? Simply, the Egyptian Government is sending to every Muslim the following message: You can destroy their churches, destroy their businesses, kill them, kidnap their daughters, and we will do nothing to stop you. May God have mercy on all the Copts of Egypt who are living in fear, the Copts of Egypt who are living in terror, the copts of Egypt who are living under attack and under siege. May God bless the Copts of Egypt, and may those who are responsible for the security of Egyptians, wake up and stop burying their heads in the sand.

Mourners Protest Islamic Attacks on Copts in Egypt


By-Will Morris

Muslim assailant gruesomely slays Christian, attacks two others with knife.ISTANBUL, Sept. 23 (Compass Direct News) – A funeral for a Coptic Christian gruesomely killed on a village street north of Cairo by a Muslim assailant last week turned into a protest by hundreds of demonstrators in Egypt.
Galal Nasr el-Dardiri, 35, attacked 63-year-old Abdu Georgy in front of the victim’s shop in Behnay village the afternoon of Sept. 16, according to research by a local journalist. Other Copts watched in horror as El-Dardiri stabbed Georgy five times in the back, according to interviews by Gamal Gerges, a reporter for newspaper Al-Youm al-Sabeh.
As Georgy fell to the ground, El-Dardiri took his knife and stabbed him four times in the stomach. He then disemboweled him, slit his throat and began sawing off his head, according to Gerges. The Rev. Stephanos Aazer, a Coptic priest who knew Georgy and saw photographs of his mutilated body, said the victim’s head was attached to the body by a small piece of flesh.
After killing Georgy, El-Dardiri got on a motorcycle and rode 30 minutes to another town, where he found Coptic shopkeeper Boils Eid Messiha, 40, and stabbed him twice in the stomach, according to Gerges. El-Dardiri immediately left the scene, went to nearby Mit Afif and allegedly attacked Hany Barsom Soliman. Soliman, a Copt in his mid-20s, managed to fight him off.
Messiha was taken to a hospital where he has been operated on at least five times. He remained in intensive care at press time. Soliman suffered lacerations to his arms but was otherwise unharmed.
On Thursday afternoon (Sept. 17), about 1,000 people gathered at Georgy’s funeral to protest the killing and assaults on Coptic Christians. Protestors chanted that Georgy’s “blood was not [spilled] in vain” as they carried signs that read, “Where are you, government? The terrorists are going to kill us.”
Aazer and several other priests participated in the demonstration. Aazer, of the Behnay area, confirmed that police had been monitoring local Copts and even tracking telephone conversations of clergy.
El-Dardiri was arrested on Thursday (Sept. 17) in Cairo and has been charged with murder. It was unclear when he would appear in court.
Ibrahim Habib, chairman of United Copts Great Britain, said Egypt has encouraged the type of “radicalization” that has led to such attacks.
“It is the Egyptian government’s responsibility now to stop the persecution and victimization of its Coptic minority by Islamic fundamentalists,” he said. “The persecution and victimization of the Christians in Egypt has been persistent for three decades and recently escalated to a worrying tempo.”
Habib added that Egypt needs to root out Islamic extremists from government agencies, “including the Egyptian police, which frequently show complacency or collusion with the Islamists against the peaceful Christians.”
