After surviving sectarian mob, Egyptian Christians expelled from village

Ten-year-old Romany sits in the same room where his family huddled together nearly three weeks ago, afraid for their lives, as a violent mob attacked their house.

His family had fled to this room on the top floor, where pictures of Jesus and Coptic saints hang on bare cement walls. His parents dragged heavy furniture to the door, barricading it as they heard people try to break in below. The mob was throwing rocks at the windows, and he heard gunfire, says Romany. They were cursing Christians.

"We kept praying that G0d would be with us," says the fourth-grader. "And He was."

As the mob set fire to the home of a Christian family across the street, Muslim neighbors saved Romany's family, hustling them out of their house by a back entrance, into a car, and out of the village, until it was safe enough to return.

From the article:

“Those radical Muslims have been meaning to do something like that. They were looking for a reason to attack the Christians.”

Egypt is about 15% Christian. A large minority.

Remind me again why we send Egypt money?
Oh yeah, “protection” money for the Muslim brotherhood.
