Hundreds of Muslim demonstrators have stormed a Coptic church in Egypt calling for it to be demolished.

A hostile mob wreaked havoc in the building by wrecking sacred objects and attacking worshippers after gathering outside during Friday prayers.
During the brief siege the demonstrators chanted offensive slogans and called for the church's demolition, the diocese in Atfih said.


The wounded were transferred to a nearby hospital after security guards dispersed the mob. The nature of their injuries is not known.
The church in Giza, just outside of Cairo, is yet to be sanctioned by the state but has been observing prayers for 15 years.

The diocese said it had officially sought to legalize the building's status under a 2016 law that laid down the rules for building churches.
Local authorities often refuse to give building permits for new churches, fearing protests by Muslim conservatives.
That has prompted Christians to illegally build churches or set up churches in other buildings. In contrast, building a mosque results in few restrictions.

Christians constitute 10 percent of Egypt's mostly Muslim population. Sectarian violence occasionally erupts, mainly in rural communities in the south.
Egypt's Christian minority has often been targeted by Islamic militants in a series of attacks since December 2016 that left more than 100 dead and scores wounded.

The country has been under a state of emergency since April after suicide bombings struck two Coptic Christian churches on Palm Sunday in an attack that was claimed by the Egyptian affiliate the Islamic State group.

"Oh you who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you, and let them find harshness in you..."


No suprises.

Religion of peace my foot

And someone will open his mouth and ask me why I hate islam.
In Nigeria here the government has a way of preventing people from celebrating Christmas by ensuring there is no fuel. No ATM Machine has been paying since Saturday. All in a bid to fight the spirit of Christmas.
Muslims in the name of Fulani and so called unknown gunmen are all geared towards killing many Christians this period which they have started already
May God bring Judgement upon the doorstep of every single Christian that will support the continuance of this evil upon the church.
Be it rccg members or Yoruba Christians or Igbos or Northern Christians. May God judge anybody who will vote for the continuous oppression and killing of Christians in Nigeria

Islam?

Well i can say that's a lie cos my bestfriend and her dad lives in Egypt and for 7months now she scarcely goes to church after what she experienced in March

Islam. Islam. Islam. Among thousands of Religion on the world, that Religion is one of a kind. Where ever you have that Religion thrive, safety and security of other Religion are never guaranteed and to think that they carry out most of their attacks on Fridays after their prayers to some "supposed Al merciful, caring, loving god" is alarming.

Okey , thanks

My fellow will to defend their religion of peace

They don't believe in freedom of religion when they are in the majority but readily hide behind it when they are the minority.

peace

Many muslims are ticking time bomb even those who think they are moderate.
When you believe you are better than every other human and you see non-muslims
as scum, then you will have no problem visiting violence on them.
Muslim countries must acknowledge the inherent problem with Islam and force
out the fanatic clerics if they ever want to achieve peace.

Satan and his children leave us alone

Demons in human form..

each country with diffrent problem of life to solve....

I declare Nigeria a Christian county, and all of the West Africa region, a Christian Region.

Live and let live

∆ Hatred is their message and not love...

Mohammed Started this $hít.


Peace be against him!!! ∆

Useless people.

I remember during their protest against Mubarak. Christians form shield to protect them when they were praying.

They can never live in consistent Peace for a long time without shedding blood all in the name of religion.

Simply Antichrist.
Many Christians don't know that Islam is the mother of Antichrist.

Go and read Revelation u will understand what is Boko Haram. Rev. 9: 1-11
They can't be defeated. Isis, Boko Haram, Ishabab, Al-Quaida etc are agents from pit of hell (the locust) and they have leader.
