Egypt poised for Libya evacuations as Isis hostage photos emerge (21 Christians in orange jumpsuits)
The Guardian ^ | Friday 13, 2015 | Chris Stephen and Jared Malsin in Cairo

Egypt has offered to evacuate thousands of its citizens from Libya after Islamic State (Isis) released pictures showing 21 kidnapped Egyptian Christians paraded in orange jumpsuits.

Egypt said it had no choice but take urgent measures on Friday with Isis expanding fast across Libya, its war-stricken neighbour. “We are helping them,” Cairo’s foreign ministry spokesman, Badr Abdelatty, said. “If they would like to come back from Libya, we are facilitating their return to their home country.”

The Coptic Christian guest workers were kidnapped in Sirte, on Libya’s coast, by Isis units based there in two operations in December and January.

“This month, the soldiers of the Khilāfah in Wilāyat Tarābulus (Caliphate State Tripolitania) captured 21 Coptic crusaders, almost five years after the blessed operation against the Baghdad church executed in revenge for Kamilia Shehata, Wafa Constantine, and other sisters who were tortured and murdered by the Coptic Church of Egypt,” according to the report in the magazine.

Publication of the photographs caused shock in the small Egyptian village of El Aor, home to many of the abductees. “It was a dark day in the village. Everyone was crying,” Mina Thabet, from the Egyptian Commission for Rights and Freedoms, said.

Obama had us on the wrong side vs Libya like he did in Egypt. We were fighting on behalf of his muslim brotherhood pals.

Obama should be tried for war crimes.

I have been watching that Egyptian general that is president of Egypt. He walked into a Coptic church and wished them all a Merry Christmas and now he is welcoming Libyan Christians. Good man it seems. This is the one Hussein fought against.

Says a lot

Czechoslovakia and Poland are already gone and Germany has crossed through the Lowlands into France; England is not standing fast. America still denies that there is a danger.

Good analogy.

Except the Nazis are also in control of the US, this time.

What is one to make of babble like this? These thugs kidnap 21 innocent people and have to make it sound like they just sacked Istanbul. Their inferiority complex would be laughable if they weren't psychopathic killers.

They were all executed by being torched alive today. When are we going to make this place a glass factory? Oh, wait.....I forgot we have a king in residence at 1600 PA avenue and he likes the results. Lord help us...

They referred to those poor people as "crusaders". I think they need to learn what *real* crusaders are like.

In 1991 with the R King video the radical left/Weather Underground climbed out of the sewer and declared war against the US.

Instead of using domestic terrorist like they had done before they decided to use foreign/muslim terrorist as their proxy fighters.

What started out as a civil war has now evolved into WW III.

And he still has us on the wrong side in Syria. And he's not helping the Kurds.

The Daily Mail showed photos of Kurds in cages. People were taking photos of them with their cell phones. ISIS said they were going to burn them alive. Perhaps they were talking about them.
