The ethnic cleansing of Christians in the Sinai is being ignored

The ethnic cleansing of Christians in the Sinai is being ignored not only by the Egyptian authorities, but also by the mainstream media and human rights groups in the West.

In events being ignored not only by the Egyptian authorities, but also by the mainstream media and human rights organizations in the West, Muslim terrorists have in recent weeks attacked Christian families and forced them out of their homes and businesses in the Sinai town of Rafah. The terrorists have threatened to pursue their jihad against Christians until all of them leave the Sinai.

According to reports from the Sinai, all the Christians who used to live in Rafah have already fled their homes after being targeted by Muslim terrorists.

Christians said that before the Egyptian “revolution,” they enjoyed good relations with their Muslim neighbors and felt safer. But under Muslim Brotherhood President Mohamed Morsi, the Christians in the Sinai were being left alone to confront Muslim gangs by themselves.

Egyptian security forces finally began operating against the terrorists only after 16 border guards were killed several weeks ago, apparently by Muslim jihadis in Sinai. But these forces have not been able to protect the Christian families in Sinai, whose lives been turned into hell ever since the ‘Arab Spring’ arrived in Egypt.

The Egyptian newspaper Al-Yom Al-Sabe (The Seventh Day) revealed that the Christian families were forced to leave Rafah after Muslim terrorists torched the local church. It wrote that the terrorists sprayed graffiti on the walls of the destroyed church calling on Christians to leave Rafah immediately.

The attack on the church was the latest in a series of assaults against Christian-owned homes and businesses.

    Why would a democrat preezy take notice of that? It was Bill Clinton that claimed it was Christians that were “ethnicly cleansing” Muslims in the Balkans so Clinton stepped in and “cleansed” a lot of Christians.

    Monkey see, monkey do.

    When I first saw this post, I thought it was from the “Gravestone Institute”. Too close to reality, sadly.

    May God be with, and protect, His people in the Sinai.

    The Christians of that region can trace their roots back to the original Church, and after all these centuries are being ousted. It sucks to feel so unable to help them. All I can do is pray, and “raise awareness.”

    The left hates Christianity and Judaism because of the absolute moral standards expressed in the 10 commandments and sacred scriptures.
    The left loves moral relativism and immoral behavior. In Islam what’s wrong today might be fine tomorrow if someone issues a fatwa or calls for jihad. There really isn’t any consistent wrong or right in Islam. It’s a lib paradise, they’re attracted to it for that reason alone plus they hate the “people of the book” in Israel and America.
