Egypt: Christians attacked and homes burned by Muslim mob over rumored church building

Christian homes and property have been attacked by a Muslim mob in Egypt over rumours a house under construction was being turned into a church.

A large group of Muslims gathered around the house, owned by Coptic Christian Naim Aziz, in Qarayat al Bayda village near Alexandria after Friday prayers on June 17, chanting: "By no means shall there be a church here".

"A great deal of fanatic Muslims gathered in front of the new house of my cousin, Naim Aziz, during its construction because of a rumour spread in the village that this building would be turned into a church," Christian resident Mousa Zarif told International Christian Concern (ICC).

Aziz told Daily News Egypt that he was in fact building the house for his son to live in, not for a church.

It is claimed the mob attacked the home, destroying the construction materials and also attacked Naim and his brother, leaving both men injured.

Christian homes and properties in the surrounding area were also reportedly attacked and looted, including a church community centre.

"They also intercepted the car of Fr Karas Naser, the priest of the Holy Virgin and the Archangel Michael Coptic Church when he arrived at the village," Zarif said.

"They attacked him but some moderate Muslims intervened, rescuing him from their hands and getting him out of the car."

When police arrived, they did not stop the destruction. They arrested six coptic Christians, including Aziz and his brother, along with six Muslims.

The six Muslims were freed shortly afterwards, while the Christians were released the next day on bail, having been charged with holding prayers without permission and building without a permit.

The UK, USA, Germany's EU says we need more "diversity".

The luvvies say we're "racist" unless we import millions of unknown people from points unknown and pay all their bills, or else you're a "racist"...
That's all the Left has in their quiver of political arguments to grow government, you're a "racist" if you oppose communism.

Of course this has nothing to do with Islam. You often see enraged Hare Krishnas, for example, burning down the houses of worship of other religions. /s

Yes they are bloody savages. I think it goes all the way back, to the day Abraham threw Ishmael and Hagar out of the tent.

And Scripture tells us exactly what Ishmael & his progeny would turn out to be.

“By no means shall there be a church here”. “A great deal of fanatic Muslims gathered in front of the new house....”.

You think that won’t happen somewhere here in the U.S. in the near future? Think again.

We should do the same about mosque building. Turn them into pig lots.

Yes, Arabs, but I think that ultimately, it is a contest between God and Satan. Not a real contest, because God has already defeated the forces of Satan. There are just some more skirmishes, before the final judgment. 😇

I want to be a juror on the trial of Hillary and Hussein Obama when they are tried for treason for protecting Muslim nut terrorists

Only the POTUS could have blocked the military from responding to the Benghazi terrorist attack and Hussein allowed Americans to die to protect his Muslim terrorist buddies
