It took years of carnage to get President Barack Obama’s administration to admit that the Islamic State — the United States’ sworn enemy — has been committing genocide on Christians in the Middle East.
So you can be sure that when persecution happens within the borders of a so-called ally, the Obama administration is unwilling to say a word.
According to the Associated Press, a Muslim mob stripped an elderly Christian woman and paraded her naked on the streets in an attack last week in which seven Christian homes were also ransacked and torched in a province south of the Egyptian capital.
The local Orthodox Coptic church and security officials told the AP the assault in the Minya province village of Karama on Friday began after rumors spread that the elderly woman’s son had an affair with a Muslim woman — a taboo in conservative Egypt.
Police have arrested six men suspected of taking part in the violence and are looking for 12 more, the security officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi called for the culprits to be held accountable, but it remains to be seen whether any prosecutions will take place.
Anba Makarios, Minya’s top Christian cleric, told a talk show host on the private Dream TV network that the 70-year-old woman was dragged out of her home by the mob who beat her and insulted her before they stripped her off her clothes and forced her to walk through the streets as they chanted Allahu Akbar, or “God is great.”
The woman reported the incident to the police five days later, said Makarios, adding that she had initially found it too difficult to “swallow the humiliation” she suffered and go to the police.
The incident, intensely publicized since Wednesday night, has unleashed a flurry of condemnations on social media networks where users accused ultraconservative Salafi Muslims of being behind the violence. The hashtag “Egypt stripped naked” on Twitter gained traction shortly after it was introduced.
Extramarital affairs or sex between unmarried couples are taboo among both Muslims and Christians in Egypt. Such incidents often attract violent reactions in rural areas, where questions of honor can lead to deadly family feuds that endure for years or result in ostracizing of the perpetrators.
Christian men cannot marry Muslim women in Egypt unless they convert to Islam first, but Muslim men can marry Christian women. An affair between a Christian man and a Muslim woman is almost certain to cause a great deal of trouble if the couple are found out, particularly in rural areas.
According to a statement Wednesday by Makarios, police arrived at the scene of Friday’s violence nearly two hours after the attack began. The family of the Christian man had notified the police of threats against them by Muslim villagers the day before the attack, he added.
“No one did anything and the police took no pre-emptive or security measures in anticipation of the attacks,” the cleric said, speaking in another TV interview, also Wednesday night.
“We are not living in a jungle or a tribal society. It’s incorrect for anyone to declare himself judge, police and ruler,” he told Ahmed Moussa, a prominent talk show host on the private Sada el-Balad television.
Christians, who make up about 10 percent of Egypt’s population of more than 90 million people, have long complained of discrimination in the mostly Muslim nation.
Many Christians say they are consistently victimized in disputes with Muslims.
Criminal gangs have often targeted wealthy Christian families south of Cairo in recent years, kidnapping their children for ransom. There have also been cases in recent years of underage Christian girls lured away from their families by Muslim men who convert them and keep them in hiding until they reach adulthood. Christians complain that police don’t do enough to pursue Muslim perpetrators.
At least 35 percent of Minya’s population is Christian, the largest in any of Egypt’s 27 provinces.
Speaking on Moussa’s Sada el-Balad TV, Makarios also said the police’s late arrival gave the attackers “ample time” to do what they had set out to do. He predicted the village crisis will most likely be handled through a government-sponsored meeting of the two sides in which the Christians will be forced to accept “humiliating” conditions for reconciliation.

Christians are suffering genocide in the Middle East in the past few years. The U.S. and large European nations ignore it. The Church gives token concern. Then we have those who reside in segregated residents only suburbs who demand that those from hater cultures be forced upon working class city and suburban communities here in the U.S..
The people of this country who voted for Obama bear the guilt! And they voted twice knowing he will destroy this country. Just look back at what he did since taking the office. What a shame!
We all see how they tried to damage the character of Trump and his family. The anger and the dissatisfaction of most Americans cannot be dismissed. People want Trump in the White House to undo many of the abominations this administration have done and is till doing.
Well, had the Republican Party not turned so filled with hatred against people of color and of the middle class, Obama would not have won. Continuing to protect the 1% and allowing them to get away with not paying taxes and cutting Social Security and disabled veterans pensions is why you got Obama. And the same reason that this country will end up with Hillary Clinton for President. I personally don’t like her, Bernie Sander is my number one pick. I hate extremists in government period. Right wing Conservatives are a bunch of mentally sick retards who don’t belong in Government offices. Hillary Clinton is a Republican in disguise that will run on a Democrat ticket and sell out to the highest bidder just like Obama.
Bernie is the only true Democrat. He is running on true Democrat principles. Donald Trump will only be good for the country if he tells the right wing idiots right where to go and puts his initial agenda to work.
Deport all illegal Muslims and refugees until they can be thoroughly checked out. We have to protect our American citizens.
The fact is that it was people like you who put Obama into office. Your view of politics is in reverse of the facts. If you like Bernie Sanders so much you might like your socialism even better in Russia.
Right on!
Mitt Will clearly threw the last electron. Him and every one of his RINO/Democrat establishment SOB have to go, but first lets all band together and get TRump in.
You are a certifiable moron. You are so consumed with hatred that you stopped being relevant to anyone but yourself. I would be considered cleansing the gene pool if you ceased to exist.
You bet your ass I’m filled with anger and hate. Y9ou think I should be happy that that POS in the white house and the Rino/Democrat establishment has totally destroyed my way of life.
Ah, yes – “hate” the word that covers every disagreement, on any issue, that a liberal ever has with a non-liberal.
And despite demonstrating extremely poor language skills, they call others without this dearth of vocabulary “moron.”
You label yourself.
You hate extremists but you are for Sanders. Are you one of the bully boy communists that Sanders employes to riot and destroy?
You are a fucking idiot and hypocrite. You say you dont like extremist politicians and then you say you support Bernie Sanders a self avowed Communist. How much more extreme can you get? You are a POS.
You are absolutely wrong on everything you just said. Clinton is a far left democrat. She’s not even a centerist democrat. She’s far, far left of center. Bernie Sanders isn’t a democrat. He tells people he’s not a democrat. He’s an independent socialist. He caucuses with the democrat party. He admits to that. Look at what’s happening in Venezuela to see what being a socialist does to you. No one has cut Social Security and the vets are getting their pensions. The problems with the vets is their healthcare. That’s an Obama issue and he should be ashamed. What has Obama done for the people of color? More are out of jobs under him than in our history. He should be ashamed. So what you’re saying is in reverse of the facts. You may want to do a lot of research before ranting again because folks are going to be laughing at you.
My experience with liberals is that they don’t WANT to know the truth, so there won’t be any question of doing any research!
They already know everything they want to know, and if a bank of angels appeared before them and said “You’ve had it wrong all of these years,” it wouldn’t change a thing.
Bernie is a communist. He is about as extreme as a politician can get. He believes in the government controlling all parts of society. Free enterprise is what build America. What we have now is a lot of Americans that whine and cry how bad life is, they want the government to support them. But liberals never realize where the money comes from.
Liberals don’t CARE where the money comes from, as long as they are able to be receiving end of the legal theft.
Boy , do you have it backwards. And To vote for Bernie Sanders is like Robin Hood. Steal from the ones who have and give to ones who don’t. The problem with this country are all the entitlements we have already. Now you what to put in somebody who wants to give 10 times more. Just one big huge Ponzi scheme is only what Bernie Sanders is about. Who is going to pay for his programs? You should get your facts in order.
Venezuela. Don’t take your pets there.
Right Charles Martel! I think the only way to handle this entire Radical Islamic Terrorism Muslim disease is to carpet bomb the hell out of the entire regions…………kill everything within 200 miles of where they drop the BIG one! Get everything, men, women, children, dogs, cats, goats, donkeys, whatever has the misfortune to live in those hell hole countries!!!
But they got free cell phones! How could that not buy a vote!
Yes, we Christians will be told to turn the other cheek until we are totally obliterated. This is the false ideal that will drive millions of us away from our so-called salvation. Our religion and our laws are being used against us to our detriment. God has hard-wired us for self-defense, yet our religious leaders are gulling us into believing we can help God save the world by being tortured and annihilated.
BEING CHRISTIAN DOESN’T ALWAYS ENTAIL TURNING THE OTHER CHEEK. TOLERANCE,FORGIVENESS,CHARITY R GOOD VALUES BUT THESE VIRTUES MUST BE BACKED BY STRENGHT. IE: JEWS DON’T TAKE THAT KIND OF CRAP.
GOD HELPS THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES.
I seem to recall that God ordered Israel to totally obliterate the Canaanites, so turning the cheek is not always the order of the day for Christians.
I doubt that God wants the Earth to be totally bereft of Christians!
We need to fight what we believe in.
when is america going to wake up to the damage the muslims are doing to our planet and people. they are slowly moving in to every country….one day they will take over with there crazy laws it will be too late for us when this happens…no regard for life no respect…every country there in they cause trouble.
It is the elites who are inflicting Islam (a political system hiding behind the name of religion) on the people of their own countries.
And if those people do not do something to stop this soon, the whole Earth will be an Islamic abyss – probably until the end of the world, since leaving Islam is a death penalty. Talk about “Dark Ages!”
vote for Trump
deport them all from normal people…..
The humiliation of the elderly lady should be nothing compared to the savages in the media that support such things through their silence. Typical Islam where they do the dirty cowardly deeds and the western media show their approval by keeping quiet. Imagine the fuss if the women had been Muslim and the criminals had been Jewish? Te dogs of way are mostly Islamist. Shame on the world’s media as soon you will be the Charlie Hebdoo recipients of Islam hate.
“The U.S.” and “large European countries” do NOT ignore the problem; it is the elites in those countries who do so, and who are overrunning their native populations with Muslims.
The elites seem to have some strange misconception that if they feed the alligator, it won’t eat them.
With sympathizers like President Obozo the radicals feel emboldened to do whatever they want – we need someone like Trump to let them know the parties over and their days are numbered “literally” then seek ’em out and kill ’em like the animals they are.
They understand strength and retribution – allow no quarter and give them no place to hide, don’t continue the program of appeasement of the current administration.
GO FOR IT!!!!!!
Bingo!
I agree with you
Sick….sick… having sex is all thats on the muslims minds..dont they have wives…women only appear there to “service” those nit wits. Guess they dont have goats or donkeys walking around there do they? Every muslim man needs his TallyWhacker cut down to nothing!!!!…..
The simple truth is that these scum are not civilized and should not be allowed around people of the world who are. They need to be kept in a place where they can do no harm to peaceful people. Castration of any who commit their filthy acts upon women-girls-little boys-chickens-goats-camels,gerbils, etc…
We need to get them out of our country. They also sexually mutilate women to the point that there is nothing left but her vagina and she can still pee. They do it when little girls are about 5 years old with a razor blade. They are really sick people. I studied World Religions and found this out in my class. We have to get them out of the U.S. and out of Europe.
And into the ground – All of them.
We will get more of what you are saying you dont want if you vote for bernie!
And they often mutilate the girls the day before their wedding, so that the “honeymoon” occurs in a special motel located far enough away from any settlement that people can’t hear her screaming in agony while she is being raped.
What kind of man finds an area of raw, bleeding hamburger a turn-on?
Isn’t that all we need to know about these primitive butchers?
To paraphrase something from a US admiral in WW II
THE ONLY PLACE THE ARABIC LANGUAGE WILL BE SPOKEN WILL BE IN HELL.
Right between his ears and his chin.
My pet name for Muslims is “gonads on the hoof,” referring to their tendency to be interested in only sex.
But to be fair, they also seem to get a lot of enjoyment from killing living creatures, too.
The ME is a heaven for savages. Why are we bringing any of them here?
Because Obama is an Arab.
We must stop saying “we” when it really isn’t “we” who are responsible.
And we should be attaching Obama’s name to every scuzzy thing he has done – so for instance, infesting our neighborhoods with a cult whose sacred text commands them to kill us might be referred to as “Obama’s Invasion.”
This administration, an anti-American one and antichristian since its first day in office, did not anything to stop the world Christian genocide. Absolutely nothing! This anti-American administration supported islam and muslim all over the world.
Shame America!
And he is bringing them into our country against the will of the citizens – who now must care for them as they have no needed skills and bring their criminal actions here.
President Obama is the chosen Muslim Messiah for the forced conversion of the Christians in Kenya to the Muslim Brotherhood. It’s all about him fulfilling his father’s dreams with the assistance of Grandma Sarah & his 2 uncles (Last name Obama) in Kenya. I WONDER HOW MANY ASSIGNMENTS HE WAS SELECTED TO ACCOMPLISH IN HIS LIFETIME. I BELIEVE HIS LIFE HAS BEEN A “PLAN” IN THE MAKING EVER SINCE HIS CHILDHOOD…His maternal grandparents WOULD HAVE GOTTEN ALONG WELL WITH Senator Sanders! The Clinton’s & The Obama’s have “MANY SKELETONS” in their closets! Little by little one skeleton sneaks out and stirs up trouble!!!
Hillary’s “fake”, southern accent-drawl is almost perfected. I just can’t envision crooked Hillary & goofy Elizabeth as a “drill team” marching in a Presidential Inaugural Parade January 2017! Donald Trump has conveyed some funny punch lines during the debates & speeches. LOL’S
I voted fro Trump and I will vote for this man.
He might not be perfect but he do not owe anything to anyone and he will do what he promised.
He loves America and intend to really make this nation safe and great.
Maybe he can also teach you proper grammar.
Christians have been being murdered for centuries ever since the rise of the false religion Islam. Muslims hate Christians. The Muslims in Egypt have been kidnapping Coptic Orthodox Christian girls for centuries. They force them to marry Muslim men at very young ages or they kill them if they refuse to do so. Muslims have been committing genocide against Christians ever since the rise of Islam around 700 A.D. Before the rise of Islam most of the Middle East had become Christian till they were led astray by the glory seeker Mohamed. Those people are a mentally sick mess! Go back and look at what they did to Serbia. Yugoslavia a nation that broke into two countries when they left the Soviet Bloc. Herzegovenia and Slovenia. The massive genocide of Orthodox Christians. Today Bosnia is the first Muslim state in Eastern Europe. This never was until George Bush declared Bosnia for the Muslims. He was nothing but an A$$hole. Now everyone is being begged to open their doors to people of this rotten murderous religion. Trump is right to deport every last one of them. They going into Europe in dingy rafts as refugees with many terrorists among them. I wonder how many were sent into the U.S. Our Godless leadership.
There you go again. The Bosnian war was fought during Bill Clinton’s tenure. Bush was never involved in Bosnia. The majority of Bosnians are Catholic and coptic christians Not muslims.
A dead giveaway that Bosnia is not majority Muslim is that Bosnian historical artifacts have not been destroyed by Muslims, as some of the world’s most ancient and priceless historical artifacts in other countries have been.
I know that if that crap takes place here i Will put i n a billboard sign along the side of a highway out in the country and when they come up to take the sign down I will shoot every Muslim that shows up and that’s not a terroristic threat that’s a fucking American promise the Muslims need to stay their ass in their own goddamn country don’t come to America thinking you’re going to fuck up here because I have several American friends out of back out up we are willing to fight for our freedom and our constitutional rights and fuck you’re religion
Add my name to your list. – I;m not a bad shot and spent my time in Vietnam. Killing a Moslem would mean no more to me then swatting a malaria infested mosquito. – There are no “Good” live Moslems.
I aggree with previously wrote comment; how Obama can were a ring written on”No God beside alah” i mean give me a break; if im voted by mixed religious nation; for the sake of respect to All ; i would not were ring like that; if im working for jewish family im puting the cross in my pochet; for pace; you dont triger the other side ; im only a simple citisen of this great country; yet i feel i have more common sence than our president;
I have said it in the past, I say it today and until the day I die. Allah is Satan, the evil one. He leads his muslem people to rape and destroy.
MaxAdair: I am in total agreement wit you.
Whenever a “religion’s” god condones – and even commands – destruction, torture, rape, human sacrifice*, we see yet another of a long line of Satan’s aliases. The name “Allah” is just the latest alias of Satan; “Moloch” and “Baal” were earlier aliases.
I suspect that the Antichrist may turn out to be not an individual, but Islam. (The Antichrist is going to be able to fool the multitudes, even when the truth is right before their faces … does that seem familiar?)
Human sacrifice is simply killing humans to please or appease a “god.” So calling to Allah to approve of throat-slitting, burning alive, mass drowning, crucifixion of children (to name a few Muslim atrocities) qualifies Islam as a cult that practices human sacrifice. (Islam also qualifies as a cult under all of the of the other qualifiers.)
So, America, wake up before Islam takes over this country, and you find out what “living Hell” means.
Muslims know who guided people to have Jesus pierced. To be against Christians is to willingly have the same being in them. Judgment needs to fall upon the Muslims. They will have no excuse. They had their chance to repent of following the enemy of Jesus casting it way. Each Muslim that dies refusing to repent will be cast into Satan’s prison to become a flame in the lake of fire when they are judged. I say this over and over with no variance. Why am I your enemy when I tell you the truth?
Get rid of this president and all the moslims. Let them live where they belong with their mohammed. Who cares!
“Good Moslem? Where are they? Kill them all and let Allah sort them out.
I thought “if a Isliamic man sees a naked woman , except his wife, He has to kill himself! I guess the Koran does apply here!!!
Doesn’t apply here!!!
This type of behavior will be coming to our streets before you know it if Clinton or Sanders are voted into office. It will be a sad day and the end of this country as we have known it. There is already pockets of Shariah law in Texas and Detroit. Officials turn their heads and ignore it because Obama tells them to. God help us all if Trump is not elected.
According to our so called President the Muslim religion is peaceful religion. Who is he trying to kid? If they are so peaceful how come he not visiting those countries.
I urge all remaining Christians to do another Exodus from Egypt. That’s the only answer.
60 Minutes last night May 29th allowed CIA Leader, Berger…….to reply to a question Why does ISIS want to kill Americans? He replied that ” they are afraid Americans will go to their countries and Americans want to take-over their land.” Did anyone see that stupid reply from a top Democratic CIA Official. Must be, what Obama told him to say and how to say it.
Why did 60 Minutes allow this kind of reply and did not question it?? I could not believe my ears. After the dozen troops killed at Port Hood, and another dozen + at San Bernardino at a Christmas Party and mid-age woman be-headed at work in Wisc., etc. etc. etc.
WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH OUR NEWS MEDIA – LIKE 60 MINUTES ???
