When the Islamic State group paraded before the world its grisly slaughter of 21 Egyptian Christians on a Libyan beach, it could hardly have expected Egypt’s response: a massive outpouring of solidarity for Christians from their government and Sunni Muslims in society.
“This criminal act has united more and more the Egyptian people, Christians and Muslims,” Father Rafic Greiche, spokesman for the Catholic Church in Egypt, told the Register from Cairo.
Egypt is the most populous Arab nation, with 85 million people, 10% of whom are officially estimated to be Christian.
Within hours of ISIS’ video, Egypt unleashed its military might against the fundamentalist Muslim group in retribution. Warplanes first launched airstrikes against ISIS training camps and weapons depots near Derna, where the terror group and its allies have set up an “emirate.”
Egyptian news sources report Egypt’s special forces subsequently launched an attack on ISIS bases in Libya.
“Let those near and far know that the Egyptians have a shield that protects and preserves the security of the country and a sword that eradicates terrorism,” said a statement released by Egypt’s military following the airstrikes.
What does it say about the USA when the US President considers al-Sissi a usurper and an enemy?
Just that the US regime remembers the Crusades while the Egyptians don’t.
Because Obama and Valerie and Co. DETEST CHRISTIANS!!!
Time for Egypt to use that sword to cut out the Heart of the corrupt and cruel IS and her allies in North Africa.
I expect to see Egyptian tanks in Tripoli in the near future.
Rand Slams Congress for Funding Egypt's Generals: 'How Does Your Conscience Feel Now?'Sen.
