Here’s a story (August 20) from the Washington Times:
Since the military removed Mr. Morsi seven weeks ago, his supporters have burned at least 44 churches and ransacked more than 20 other Christian institutions throughout Egypt...At least six Christians and one Muslim working at a Christian-owned shop have been killed since Mr. Morsi was removed July 3, human rights activists said. Nearly 900 people in all have died in clashes between security forces and Morsi supporters.
Also from Fox News:
Across Egypt, at least 60 churches have been targeted,along with Christian schools, homes,businesses and even an orphanage,according to conservative estimates. In the areas of Minya, Beni Suef, Fayoumand Assiut, Christian homes and businesses have received leaflets warning them to leave or face reprisals by Islamists, Christians said.
USA Today has a helpful story from last week, including an interactive map that shows where Christian churches and institutions have been targeted. Click here.
Neither the mainstream media in the US nor our current administration in Washington will take much of an interest in the plight of Christians in Egypt.
Please take a moment to pray for our brothers and sisters.
