CAIRO – Islamic State released a video on Sunday purporting to show the beheading of a group of Egyptian Christians kidnapped in Libya, violence likely to deepen Cairo’s concerns over security threats from militants thriving in the neighboring country’s chaos.
Egypt’s state news agency MENA quoted the spokesman for the Coptic Church as confirming that 21 Egyptian Christians believed to be held by Islamic State were dead.
In the video, militants in black marched the captives, dressed in orange jump suits, to a beach the group said was near Tripoli. They were forced down onto their knees, then beheaded.
The video appeared on the Twitter feed of a website that supports Islamic State, which has seized parts of Iraq and Syria and has also beheaded Western hostages.
A caption on the five-minute video read: “The people of the cross, followers of the hostile Egyptian church.”
Thousands of Egyptians have traveled to Libya in search of jobs since an uprising at home in 2011, despite advice from their government not to go to a country sliding into lawlessness.
Before the killings, one of the militants stood with a knife in his hand and said: “Safety for you crusaders is something you can only wish for.”
President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi called a seven-day mourning period and an urgent meeting of Egypt’s top military commanders, state television reported.
The Coptic Church said it was confident the Cairo government would seek justice. Al Azhar, the center of Islamic learning in Egypt, said no religion would accept such “barbaric” acts.

Sura (2:191-193) - "And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution of Muslims is worse than slaughter of non-believers...and fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah."
Sura (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement"
Sura (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"
There can be no other explanation.
Looks like Al Sisi is going to respond. He just appeared on Egyptian television and announced that the border will be closed and all Egyptians in Libya need to get out.
The Imam in the Oval Office will undoubtedly call this a random act, or workplace violence.
It’s ok, they were peaceful beheadings
Way to start a fire in Egypt and Libya Barry.

What could the target be? /s
Hey, all you “Christian” congress critters, why don’t you familiarize yourselves with the Koran or is it that you don’t mind for your children to experience that same treatment by the ROP?
First step: believe that ISIS is not pseudo or make-believe Islam but real Islam and that there is no such thing as ‘militant’ Islam.
It would be appropriate a world leader to describe ISIS as a “pagan death cult”, guilty of crimes against humanity, so that no effort should be made to capture them, and that those fighting them should be free to use outlawed weaponry against them without fear of subsequent prosecution.
This should include the use of chemical weapons, blinding weapons, fuel air explosives, cluster munitions, and incendiary weapons.
For example, a prohibited weapon is aircraft mounted scanning lasers. So in an entirely enemy battle space, every fighter who looked at the aircraft for a fraction of a second would have their retinas damaged, resulting in permanent blindness.
“”President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi called a seven-day mourning period and an urgent meeting of Egypt’s top military commanders, state television reported.””
If we don’t have any political leaders who will stand up to that bozo in the WH, how about our military leaders marching into the WH and dragging him out by his heels? We used to have military leaders who would be capable but do we today? Watch a video of General Boykin on Judge Jeanine last night and see/hear what he thinks of what is going on from that so called CIC..
Someone needs to take his golf clubs and golf shoes away from him and sit him down for a good history lesson and not let him up until he understands what is at stake here. No more AF One flights to avoid facing the music. We expect him to do his job and if he can’t or doesn’t know how, pack him up and ship him out. To where - who cares - just OUT!
He’s no doubt happy with the way things are going but WE ARE NOT!
The problem is he IS the CIC.
The only short term solution is a coup.
I think the military will just wait him out for the remaining 2 years.
We have a MUSLIM President running interference for his radical Muslim brothers and America continues to indulge itself in "bread & circuses."
The biggest bunch of sissies in the country is sitting in the Pentagon, counting the days till they can get their retirement checks. Whatever happened to that vow to defend the nation “against all enemies, both foreign and domestic?”
Wow another Middle East leader acting like a leader. Nope our brave leader here goes golfing. Interesting every time Obozo goes golfing, something happens internationally when it involves his homies.
