The police freed them only after they abandoned their complaint against the Muslims who attacked them. As in Pakistan and elsewhere, Christians in Egypt can expect no sympathy or protection from authorities. If Muslims victimize them, those authorities will all too often side with the people who are doing the victimizing, as a Muslim will know that if he defends Christians against Muslims, he will face opprobrium (and possibly violence) from his fellow Muslims. Also, Muslim police officers know that the Qur’an tells Muslims to be “ruthless to unbelievers, merciful to one another.”
“Police arrest Christian victims after attack on Coptic church,” by Anugrah Kumar, Christian Post, July 12, 2026:
Egyptian police arrested four Christian men who had been assaulted by a mob during an attack on a Coptic place of worship in Egypt, and freed them two days later once they abandoned the complaint they lodged against those who beat them.
The attack took place in the Upper Egyptian village of Tal Al-Quiblya in Minya Province on Wednesday, according to the United Kingdom-based religious freedom advocacy group Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW), citing the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights (EIPR).
A crowd of Muslim residents, most of them women, children and teenagers, reportedly pelted the building with stones while chanting sectarian abuse.
Several Christians suffered injuries. Witnesses on the ground say that the structure and the priest’s car had been damaged.
Officers arrived rapidly and restored order, though only after taking the four Christian men into custody. Their release came on Friday, conditioned on the withdrawal of their complaint against the attackers.
An unknown number of Muslim residents were also arrested….
The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom has urged that Egypt be added to the State Department’s Special Watch List, which marks states that have carried out or tolerated grave abuses of religious freedom.
Prosecutors have used the country’s blasphemy statutes against people for voicing or defending their beliefs, imposing anything from fines to jail….

Not surprised.
Can’t let free Christians be free
I get that the oppressed Christians here are not Catholic. Nevertheless, I’m sure Pope Leo will be speaking out strongly about this.
I kid, of course. Leo is too busy demanding Europe accept Muslims invaders. Except for Vatican City. No illegals are allowed there, ever.
Oh, oops, thought this was UK.
If they took the word “Egypt” out of the article, I would have thought this happened in the UK or France.
Following UK’s justice.
I’m sorry for my brothers and sisters in Christ. If we could bring them here and at the same time, deport all ragheads, that would accomplish something.
If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. 1 Peter 4:14
And where do Christians suffer more than living among low IQ, retrograde, evil Muslims in Egypt?
“Egypt: Muslim mob assaults Christians as it attacks church, police arrest the Christians”. Who would have thought the muslims don’t like Christians?
There are some on FR that do not believe this is a problem. It is.
And there are stupid people in this country that will go on vacation there.
True, but much of the western world is rushing to catch up with Egypt.
The Coptic Christian part of Cairo is called Shobra. By US or European standards, it is a ghetto. There isn’t upward mobility in that society back in the 80s when I was there, and I suspect it is worse now.
The Egyptian national soccer team praying for curses against Jews and Christians is indicative where their hearts are.
Trump should start negotiations for asylum.
The Coptic Christians are a great example of Islamic tolerance, inclusion and diversity. (Sarc)
They suffer horribly.
You’d think it was England.
I’m pretty sure I was near that church in Egypt back in ‘99.
Seemed like a scary place to alone walking around even back then.
I asked our tour guide: “Why do all the cars drive with their headlights off?”
A: “To keep people from shooting RPG’s at them.”
He was very serious.
