BetaThings: "Recent Miracle in Egypt"

Detailed Analysis
This widely circulated email relates the story of two little Egyptian girls who survived 15 days buried alive due to the intervention of a supernatural saviour with white clothes and bleeding hands who is later identified by rescuers as none other than Jesus Himself.

There is no credible evidence whatsoever to support an email story claiming that two young girls survived for fifteen days buried alive because Jesus visited them in the grave every day and fed them.
As well as circulating via email, the piece has also been posted to innumerable religious forums and blogs where it has generated substantial and often heated debate.

According to the story, a Muslim man in Egypt murdered his wife and then buried her along with his still living daughters, one 8 years old, the other still an infant. However, Jesus came to the children every day, feeding the eight year old and "waking" the dead mother so that she could nurse the baby. It was not until the children were discovered alive and rescued from their premature grave 15 days after being buried that the miraculous experience came to be told. Or so this wildly fanciful tale would have us believe.

Not surprisingly, there is not a single shred of evidence to support the story. I could find no credible news reports about such a miraculous rescue, nor any information about an Egyptian man who murdered his wife and buried his children alive. Naturally, if true, such an amazing event would have certainly garnered a great deal of media attention, not only in Egypt, but around the world. And a miracle like the one described would also have been thoroughly investigated by both Muslim and Christian organizations. The total absence of any credible confirmation of the story along with the absurdity of the claims mean that the story is surely a work of pure fiction.

Even if entirely fictional, religious parables have their place and can serve to strengthen the faith of believers and effectively illustrate a particular worldview. However, rather than being a parable designed to reinforce a Christian ideal, this particular piece of nonsense seems more intent on denigrating and undermining the Muslim faith. In a world troubled by faith-based violence and misunderstanding, false stories such as this can only add to existing divisions and circulating them will serve no good purpose.

As with many contrived stories, this one has no names and details about when or where the alleged story took place. In other words, there aren't enough facts to allow confirming the story if it were true.

Some versions of this email claim it is an excerpt from an Egyptian newspaper but that the name of the paper is "being kept confidential."

tbaba1234: I usually don't comment on such stories. Most muslims do not know that there is a multi million dollar industry led by missionaries to spread lies against Islam. They have so much money and unfortunately most of the ummah is sleeping while shaytan is working overtime.

Most people are fed so much anti Islam propaganda.The easiest way to become a millionaire is to write an anti Islam book. Any other faith would have been destroyed with the kinds of lies they peddle but Allah will perfect His light whether muslims are sleeping or wake up to their responsibility.

Dan_de_Numeruno: Shoulda dig the thread if only I bow to the sun and my gal covers her face with hijab.

Now I didn't have the patience to read through all that totally boring post, copied and pasted by the Weed intoxicated Op, but one thing I could picked out from bits and piece of the subsequent equally boring posts is the "Animosity towards the Christians

Stop the obsessions and insecurities my Mohammed adoring brethrens. Believe it or not, the Christians don't think about you at all.

One thing I also don't get is what this hate thread is doing at front page?

nwando: Boston lumbers are Muslims
Boko haram same
What other evidence do we need

hotwax: Christians all over the world should be thankful to Austria.

Austria fought against Jihadis (Ottoman) when they wanted to take Islam to Italy.

Roman Catholic did not fight for Christians.
Roman catholic was minding her business.

Austria is Christendom hero.

Christianity would have been wiped out or become second largest religion.

ovo4u: shut up if I should post here about your islam religion trust me, you won't have a word to say.

gidiMonsta:

The Satanic Verses - Salman Rushdie. Lizzie even knighted the weasel for the book of lies, that's how far your terrorvangelist brothers will go to discredit Islam.
