In one of the most explosive outbreaks of sectarian violence since the June 30 protest in Egypt, four Christian men were killed and others were hospitalized. These life threatening injuries, from being stabbed and beaten, occurred after a mob of Muslims stormed their homes. In addition to the dead and wounded, more than 27 Christians’ homes were looted and destroyed by the mob. Despite repeated calls from local residents and religious leaders, the security forces did little to intervene on behalf of the Christians in the village of Nagaa Hassan in Al-Dabaiya, near Luxor Egypt.
Dear Lord God,
ReplyDeleteIt is beyond my mind to fathom what it is like to live under constant persecution and the real threat of death. O Lord, protect and comfort my brothers and sisters in Christ, and may the enemies of Christ learn of His love and grace. Amen
