Egypt: Muslim mob attacks Christian homes, injuring three people
The persecution of Christians in Egypt is ongoing. But the United Nations and other alleged global enforcers of human rights are too busy issuing condemnations of Israel and hunting for incidents of “Islamophobia” to take any significant notice.
“Coptic diocese says group attacked Christian homes in Egypt,” Daily Journal, September 1, 2018:
CAIRO — A group of Muslims attacked several Christian homes in a village in Upper Egypt, injuring three people, officials with a Coptic Christian diocese said on Friday.The assailants objected to the presence of a church in the area, the Minya Coptic Orthodox Diocese said in a statement. Plans to attack Copts in the village had circulated days before the incident and were reported to authorities but security only arrived after the attacks, it said. The wounded, including two Copts and a firefighter, were all hospitalized.A similar assault for the same reason had taken place in a neighboring village weeks earlier, the diocese said, blaming authorities for a lack of deterrence for Friday’s attacks and calling on them to take punitive measures against the assailants….The Minya diocese said Copts there usually opt to use “a house, hall or simple room” to hold services as a temporary solution to avoid attacks on worshippers en route to churches in neighboring villages….
