Why Egypt’s Muslims Resent Coptic Christians
ICC Note: a Muslim brotherhood sympathizer, Ayat Oraby, has recently called the Coptic church of Egypt a ‘bunch of gangsters and a ‘total mafia.’ The American Muslim has over 1.5 million followers on Facebook. Despite the fact that Christians in Egypt endure great affliction and persecution from their Muslim counterparts, this woman claims that they are waging war against Islam.
10/12/2016 Egypt (Front Page Mag): At a time when Coptic Christians are suffering abuses “every two or three days” in Egypt, a Muslim woman in America has made a video calling for more Muslim hostility against the Christian minority, in this case, in the guise of an economic boycott.
In a video, Ayat Oraby—a Muslim Brotherhood sympathizer who has nearly 1.5 million followers on Facebook—recently called the Coptic church a “bunch of gangsters,” a “total mafia” that “rules [Egypt] behind the curtains.” She accuses the Christians of “stockpiling weapons in churches” and “striving to create a Coptic statelet” in order to continue waging “a war against Islam.”
Meanwhile, back in the real world, which consists of 196 nations, Egypt is the 22nd worst nation for Christians to live in; the persecution level that Christians experience is formally categorized as “severe.” For decades Christian churches have faced immense restrictions that mosques, which liter Egypt’s landscape, do not; Coptic women and children are regularly abducted and sometimes forced to convert; entire Christian villages and churches are set aflame on the rumor that a Christian somewhere “blasphemed” against Muhammad on social media.
But Oraby is not one to be bothered with facts; according to the angry Muslima, Muslims need to be more hostile towards the Coptic Christians—whom she numbers as only 4.5 million—for they are “stockpiling weapons in their churches” in preparation of that day when they proclaim a “jihad” on Egypt’s 80 million Muslims and declare a “Coptic statelet.”
That Oraby hates Copts simply because they are Christians—as opposed to all her nonsensical talk of a hostile Coptic takeover—came out very clearly towards the end of her tirade, when she said: “They [Copts] must learn very well that the Crescent [Islam] must be above the Cross [Christianity.]”
