The sixth girl ( underage Coptic girl to disappear during this month alone...) ( ROP ? )
Watani ^ | 16 sept 2007 | Nader Shukry

The Holy Virgin’s church at the mid-Delta town of Mehalla was the scene of Coptic demonstrations this week in the aftermath of the disappearance of 18-year-old Amal Zaki Nessim.

Amal went to work as usual last Sunday but never came back. Her colleagues at the Mehalla Spinning and Weaving Company said she left work early that day with a friend who is a fully-veiled Muslim woman named Samah. Amal’s family reported her missing and Samah was questioned by the police but claimed she knew nothing about Amal’s disappearance.

The Copts demonstrated in wrath, demanding that the police find Amal and bring her home since she is underage. Anba Bishoi, Bishop of Dumyat contacted the security authorities who promised to produce Amal on the following day, but did not keep good on their word. Until Watani went to press Amal was still missing with no clue as to where she could be. Her father was hospitalised with cardiac seizure.

Worth noting is that Amal was engaged to get married next week and is reported to have been making the last arrangements for her wedding, reserving an appointment with the hairdresser and the DJ for her wedding music.

Amal is the sixth underage Coptic girl to disappear during this month alone, and is the fifth girl to disappear from Mehalla since last October, only two of whom were returned to their families.

Coptic girls have been disappearing and kidnapped by Muslim gangs and later placed into forced conversions and marriages to Muslim men. If they attempt to go back to Christianity they are murdered as apostates.

placed into forced conversions and marriages

That was my first thought.

Voice of the Martyrs reports on these situations regularly. Is it Ramadan, by any chance? (I make a point of not remembering ...) VOM says the abductions of Christian girls are more common during Ramadan; I guess the ROPers have time on their hands.

I assume this was rhetorical, but yes, it is Ramadan.

No, it wasn’t rhetorical, although I had a vague memory that Ramadan coincided with the Jewish High Holy Days this year.

So why did police question the veiled woman isn’t she allowed to lie if it is for the cult?

I’d say your ‘vague memory’ is rather more dependable than you think! Good [re]call! ;o)

A woman has twins, and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named “Amal.” The other goes to a family in Spain; they name him “Juan.”
Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his mom. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Amal. Her husband responds, “But they are twins-if you’ve seen Juan, you’ve seen Amal.”

In the hope of getting information?

Anyone will lie, if it suits them.

Prayer for Amal Zaki Nessim:

Father God,
You who created this world and all that is in it;
You who knows everything and everyone in it;
You who sees everything and understands the motives of every heart:
Bring Amal Zaki Nessim back to her church and her family.
Restore her to her home and her fiancé.
Bring her abductors to the light of day and to justice.
In the Blessed Name of Amal’s Lord Jesus Christ we pray,
Amen.

Father Boutros is an Egyptian Coptic priest who has peacefully inspired about 500 Egyptian Muslims to convert to Christianity, something considered a crime punishable by death in the Muslim world.

For carrying out those conversions, he was imprisoned twice while he was living in Egypt in the early 1980’s and is now living in exile outside of the country.

TV host Adib, in threatening Father Boutros, said that no one will remain quiet about what Father Boutros says and does even today. He will be cut up into little pieces. If he were still in Egypt, he would never be able to return to his home alive. He was told he would not get away with those conversions of Muslims to Christianity.

Egyptian Copts have been living under extreme fear, oppression and terror in Egypt more than ever before for the last 30 years.

Coptic girls have been disappearing and kidnapped by Muslim gangs and later placed into forced conversions and marriages to Muslim men. If they attempt to go back to Christianity they are murdered as apostates.

Churches are being burned and Copts by the dozens are being killed. The last attack was in Alexandria recently when a nun was stabbed, Bibles were burnt, and the local Coptic Church was desecrated by a mob.
