Revelation 6:9-11 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. They called out in a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?” Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and brothers who were to be killed as they had been was completed.
Extremists Muslim have used the ouster of Mohammed Morsi as an excuse to kill and torture Egyptian Christians according to civil rights activists.
Muslim mobs have shot a priest dead in the middle of the street, marked Christian businesses with painted black X’s to target them for arson and churches have been besieged by mobs. Four Christians were slaughtered with machetes and knives in one village last week by an Islamic mob.
The Islamists are pushing the false claim that Christians orchestrated the removal of Mr. Morsi.
“They thought Christians played a big role in the protests and in the army’s intervention to topple Morsi, so this is revenge for that,” said Ishaq Ibrahim of the Cairo-based Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights (EIPR).
Islamist mobs in Dagala looted a church, burned a building belonging to another and surrounded the homes of Christians shattering windows with rocks and clubs. One Christian man tried to fight back only to have his wife dragged from the house, beaten and shot. EIPR says she’s currently hospitalized in serious condition.
Security forces have been going to areas of Muslim violence against Christians and are removing women but leaving men behind to be killed as four men were in the village of Naga Hassan.
