Zarif added: “They were chanting slogans against us. Among these slogans were. ‘By no means shall there be a church here.'” ICC noted that Christians in the village, a minority of the population as they are elsewhere throughout Egypt, have no churches nearby, and must travel 4 miles to find a place to worship. The Muslim mob, after finding out about the plans to turn the Christian-owned building into a church, destroyed all constriction materials, and injured Aziz alongside his cousin, Mousa. The mob then looted and torched all Christian homes and properties in the surrounding area, causing Christians to flee.

Notice how so many of these attacks that Muslim commit against Christians- or even other Muslims- happen right after their Friday prayers, such as in this case. It is a strong and persistent reminder of the demonic nature of Islam, for having recently come from worshipping the false diety of Allah, they are filled and freshly renewed with demonic fervor to persecute the followers of Christ who is the enemy of sin, hate, and death, all things which Islam loves and embraces.

This should also be a warning to the Christians of America, especially in the light of this “gay nightclub shooting.” American society has turned against you. While it may not be right now, it is entirely possible that in the next ten years, being a Christian- a believing, practicing Christian- might be a lot closer to what these Egyptians go through on a daily basis, except instead of the sons of Ishmael it will be those of Sodom on the attack.
