4 days ago Egypt was in route to Outlaw the Muslim Brotherhood...
Pray for everyone in Egypt... Not just the Christians...
I live in Egypt. There has always been tension between muslims and coptic christian in egypt even before muslim brotherhood came in the picture. The copts here are used to being presecuted. Still what is currently happening is very disturbing.
I have a lot of respect for the copts here. They have a very strong faith and they trully are applying "the turning the other cheek teaching" by not counter attacking the muslims. Majority of the copts here are low to middle class people, so they can't afford to just flee the country. They have no option but to pray and endure the situation.
Very sad...all for the sake of politics...
i hoped there will be no more brawl instigated like happened last year (if you remember the brawl which took more than 70 lives).it may seem petty,
but i've been praying the Egyptian soccer team will make it to the world cup.
seems like the one thing all Egyptians can agree on, and Egypt as a country, i think, really needs something to agree on.
Christianity never teaches to attack. So you might want to reconsider the usage of the term 'christian'.it is also so irritating that here in the U.S. most of the media ignores the Christian situation. but now let it be Christians attacking muslims and it would be all over the news every hour of every day.
You might remember when Morsi was deposed, the Egyptian military discovered a treasure trove of documents linking the Obama regime with the illegal activities of the Muslim Brotherhood including funding them with billions and Obama's half brother being linked as well. It is reported they were openly crucifying Christians.
Well now the Muslim Brotherhood and its supporters are forcing some Coptic Christians in Egypt to pay a steep jizya tax and if they can't pay it because they don't have enough money they are being assaulted with their wives and children sometimes being kidnapped and presumed to be sold into slavery. And this isn’t just happening in Egypt now but also Syria and Iraq.

Now I read that U.S. authorities are hunting down members of the U.S. military that appeared in uniform holding placards stating they didn't join the U.S. military to fight on the side of Al Qaeda against Christians.

Jizya is not a tax actually. It is more correct to be classified as penalty. Muslims don't pay jizya.
Jizya is what required by allah at its best, and its only available to the Jews and Christians (sorry for atheists, hindus, buddhists, etc lol)
Jizya is commanded in sura 9:28-30. Unfortunately, sura 9 is the second last revealed chapter by allah to muhammad (113th).
Big L why are you always about misinformation ?
Muslims pays Zakat. It is a compulsory 2.5 % tax on your wealth. Non Muslims pay Jizya which is the Zakat equivalent.
Concerning Surah 9:28-30. What happens in the US if you do not pay your tax ?
In the U.S., the government doesn't charge a religious tax upon its populace. People do get charged income and sales taxes; however, if they aren't paid the government doesn't show up to your house and beat you within an inch of your life and then drag off your wife and a couple of your kids to sell into slavery to cover the back tax.
But Muslims in some parts of the Middle East do that to Christians and that's a violation of their basic human rights in the EXTREME.
Tell me which of what I said was mis information. It is you, drett, who are, denying the fact that Islam has been, and will always be spread by violence. Tell me, which of sura 9 did you find peaceful? And I would like to remind you, in case you haven't read what I posted, sura 9 is the second last revelation given to muhammad. Let's read sura 2:106Big L why are you always about misinformation ?

After reading my post, are you gonna say that ALLAH doesn't represent Islam? lolHi AOK
What the Egyptians are doing is wrong. They do not represent Islam as the Spanish Inquisition did not represent Christianity.
