The Genocide Against Christians Spreads to Egypt – 26 More Massacred Including Children
By Jordan Sekulow
The jihadist genocide against Christians has spread to Egypt.
Nearly a dozen jihadist militants opened fire on a bus packed with Christians en route to a Christian monastery. It was a massacre, slaughtering at least 26 Christians including many children and injuring dozens more.
As CBS News reports,
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, but the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has an affiliate in Egypt, based in the northern Sinai peninsula, which has claimed a number of recent attacks targeting Coptic Christians, and Egyptian security forces.
In April, ISIS suicide bombers struck hours apart at two Coptic churches in northern Egypt, killing 44 people and turning Palm Sunday services into scenes of horror and outrage at the government that led the president to call for a three-month state of emergency.
The genocide of Christians we have witnessed in Iraq and Syria is expanding both in scope and breadth. The world must wake up. Christians are being beheaded and crucified. Women and young girls are raped and enslaved. Children are cut into pieces.
The horror is unthinkable. Unspeakable. Yet we must speak.
