Go Christians! I'll bet the police couldn't believe that the Christians didn't roll over for them!
So was Wafaa Constantine really kidnapped or not? is this a common occurance???
Yeah...that's about as believable as a three-dollar bill.
Sad. The woman in the photo looks as though she's looking to the world for help.
The Coptic Christians in Egypt are under a constant state of persecution. It's a miracle that any of them are left.
prayers for all involved
Yes, it really did happen and occurs quite often, makes my blood boil.
here is some more info:

If this was done to the wives of an Iman in an non-muslim country, heads would roll. Why do we put up with the double standard?
Prayers for those brave people.
Thanks for the link. I had no idea this was going on. I'll have to do more research on the Copts later.
Because Egypt is our ally in the war on terror and would not take kindly to criticism of their culture.
All I can think of.
Thanks, please keep the Coptic people in your prayers.
Several years ago we lived next door to Coptic Christians, the husband was from Cairo, the wife from Alexandria.
They stated that Coptic Christians were the "real and original" Egyptians and that the "others who live in Egypt are all Arabs, not Egyptians." The couple seemed to convey a sense that they were of a higher class and better ethnicity than "other Egyptians."
Still they were very gracious to all local Americans. They also had friends visit from Egypt and sometimes their visiting friends were dressed in Muslim garb.
Thanks for posting this.
Ally my..........rear. They love no one but themselves, and their own families are afraid of each other.
About time the Christians fought back! Turn the other cheek is a good way to live....but when it gets you killed, that serves neither God nor the world. I hope the Copts hit a few muslimes with those rocks!
