According to a recent Arabic language report, on September 7, yet another Coptic Christian prayer hall was demolished in Egypt.
Copts in the village of Bastra in Damanhour, who number over 500, were not permitted to have a church, so they decided to build a building, not to be used as a church, but as an event hall for their Christian community, as they had nowhere else to meet for wedding and funeral services.
Apparently this was still too much for Muslim sensibilities. Soon after the building was constructed, and without a word of warning, the city council sent demolition squads, supported by armed Central Security forces, to tear down the building, which stood atop a vast and empty field, on the pretext that it did not have the proper permits.
According to the report, the “simple Copts” of the village, who had worked hard to erect this building, instinctively rose to its defense, and were brutally savaged for it. Among other reprisals, security forces fired tear gas canisters into their midst, suffocating many. In the end, four Christians, two of whom were female, were seriously injured: one woman suffered a broken jaw and another suffered multiple injuries to her head. An additional 21 Christians were arrested and hauled off.
There and then, “before crying and screaming women,” the city council forces proceeded to tear down the building that the Copts had spent much time, effort, and money on.
The report concludes by mentioning how this building was “the village Copts dream destroyed.” One Christian interviewed explained that the nearest church was very far away and difficult to reach, and all they wanted was a place to celebrate their newlyweds and mourn their dead—just as their Muslim counterparts do.
The most distressing though hardly surprising aspect of this particular building demolition in Egypt is that the city council gave the Copts no warning whatsoever, waiting until construction of the building was complete—at which point they simply set out and demolished it, violently punishing any who dared get in the way.
The Muslims have been trying to kill all christens in the middle east as well as Jews and steal their lands for generations.
I have one question . Did they go through the right channels and apply for permission before building the hall ? I know you will say it would have been refused but I still need the answer .
Since the President of the United States has changed allegiances and is now supping with the devil, Muslims are more emboldened than ever to continue their mission to persecute Christians and capture the world for Allah.
Dont be a silly little girl. It has been going on since the 1970s
Don’t insult women, especially in this context
Don’t insult women. Period. Tershia knows a lot more than you do.
I would bet it was refused numerous times
Baise les Musalmans
Pray, pray, pray.
And fast lots.
Fasting is a strong antidote.
Christian prayer, and Christian fasting.
Most of all breed.
Birthrate must be as high as possible. Much higher than opposition.
Loreto, Gennazano, Zietun. All Heavenly intervention.
Raymond, just FYI I shared this article on Facebook and Facebook took it down saying it violated “Community Standards” with no further explanation given.
Thought you might be able to get a post out of that.
