I bet Obama hates that.
Instead of backing a Christian church like al Sisi, the Muslim Brotherhood would be systematically tearing them down.
Good for you Al-Sisi.
Fantastic news.
Soon Trump will have Al-Sisi’s back.
Note that Sisi is now allied with Iran. Since he switched allegiance from the Saudis to the Iranians, he had been more pro-Copt
Evidence again that the only good Muslim is a “bad Muslim”.
There was quite a bit of controversy about Coptic Church members from Egypt visiting Israel last April
“Pope Tawadros II noted in press statements April 6, “We will not visit Jerusalem unless our Muslim brothers are with us. In the 1967 war and after the 1973 victory and the peace treaty as well as the church’s stance in this regard, the Holy Synod issued a ban on traveling to Jerusalem. This is when the idea of not visiting Jerusalem without our Muslim brothers was enrooted.”
The Coptic Church believes that Israel is an occupier of Jerusalem, and generally disputes Israel’s claim to Jerusalem as its capital.
We can celebrate the fact that Egypt will build a church in its new capital, but always need to realize that the church in Egypt is suffering under persecution, and in danger from the general Muslim population. The church there also does not recognize Israel, except as an occupier.
“I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you” still applies. Woe to all nations at His return.
